Default Mustang or Crown Vic???????????

I sold my 94 LS1 swapped mustang, and now I'm starting a new project. I already have a 02 forged 347 and a tc76 turbo, but can't decide what to put them in. I bought a 98 gt, but it seems everyone is doing the mustang swaps, and I think I want something different (99+ crown vic). What do you guys think?

I say the Crown Vic. It would make a great sleeper, I love sleepers. Get an old police car. They are pleniful and cheap and already have the suspention upgrades. I would paint it a wild color to differiante it from the police image tho. JB

Crown Vic would be cool, but it's been done. I'll take a look and see if I can find pics or something.

If you're going to do a crown vic, I'd suggest a 2001-2002 Crown Vic LX Sport. Comes with 17" wheels, heavy duty suspension(handling and performance package), leather bucket seats and a console shifter. You can get some with a sunroof also. The 02 and earlier have smaller brakes and the suspension isn't quite as good but they go for less money(9-10,000 for a sport) 03+ will be anywhere over 10 depending on year and mileage.
