Someone Go Bid on This Clean Ford LTD Crown Victoria Wagon So I’m Not Tempted To-February 2024

1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Wagon

There’s something to be said about the big . They weren’t sports cars by any means, but damn were they great. Enough space inside for both people and cargo that rivals some modern SUVs, and enough power and comfort to soak up long highway miles. It sucks that there’s nothing like them anymore. But if you have some cash burning a hole in your pocket and you miss these things as I do, you should head on over to Bring a Trailer to check out this clean .

This example is interesting in that it’s so well maintained. You can thank its history for that. The seller says that this thing spent the last 30 years as a courtesy vehicle for the Stanley J. Krish Funeral Home in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Apparently, they didn’t use it much, as the odo sits at just over 29,000 miles. That’s pretty incredible for a car this old. Both its Carfax and Michigan titles show it’s clean. It’s clean in the literal sense as well.

Even with 29,000 miles on it, it looks showroom ready. But all the little old school details make this car great. Outside there are details like the hood ornament, the dark gray vinyl roof, cornering lamps that were big on cars like this in the 1980s and 1990s, and the Crown Victoria emblems on the b-pillars, it’s all fantastic.

1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Wagon interior

Stepping inside is another blast from the past. Open the door, and you’re treated to a red velvet interior. There’s a proper bench seat and column shifter up front, super old-school sliding A/C and heat controls, ashtrays in the doors, a button for the power retracting antenna, and even a cassette stereo system that you’ll probably never use.

1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria third row jump seats

There’s the huge backseat that can probably sit four across in a pinch, and the icing on the cake is the rear third-row jump seats that face each other.

1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Wagon engine

One thing I did dislike about cars from this period was the engines, especially in big full-size cars. They were huge and underpowered. Ford’s 4.9L Windsor V8 sits under the hood of this Crown Vic. A huge engine, but it only has 160 horsepower. It made up for it in torque at 270 lb-ft. This car is also equipped with a four speed automatic transmission, a 3.55:1 limited-slip rear axle, a heavy-duty handling suspension, and towing packaging that allows you to tow up to 5,000 pounds.

If you’re tempted to bid — and I know I am — head on over to . As of this writing, the auction ends in six days with a current high bid of $7,100. The most beautiful part? There’s no reserve.

Driving The Nürburgring... In A Buick
Germany's Nürburgring Nordschliefe is 12.9 miles of thick, close forest; 73 corners; and 1000 feet of elevation change. Jackie Stewart called it the Green Hell.

Your $8,995 Riviera Vacation Begins in Cleveland
Literally translated, Côte d'Azur means blue coast, but it's also known as the French Riviera. Today's Buick Riviera is also azure, and has so few miles it could easily coast for years to come. Phil Collins once sang that It's no fun being an illegal alien, and it's getting me...

Get a Hennessey Kick in the Asp for $39,900
One bite of an asp did in Cleopatra. Similarly, a turn behind the wheel of today's Viper may be enough for you to be bitten by its power, but will its price do it in? Not done-in maybe, but genuinely done to the nines, was yesterday's . Despite having some...

Make a Fat Redhead Your Cruel Mistress for $42,500
The Testarossa, once the wild-hair of Maranello's lineup, has become one of the most affordable ways to join the 12-cylinder Ferrari club. But with today's '87, would that club beat the crap out of you? The crap was certainly beaten out of yesterday's . That was likely due to the...

Arizona's controversial new Illegal Immigrant law is gaining national attention. Also drawing attention is today's Starlet GT that's claimed to be here legally, but looks foreign enough to elicit demands of your papers please.

This is the 2011 Jaguar XJ. It looks nothing like the XJ that came before it, or the XJ that came before that. Its interior is a temple to the word "shiny." Is this what Jaguar needs to move forward? Full Disclosure: Jaguar flew me to Los Angeles and put...
