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

If knowledge is power then today's 1949 Dodge Power Wagon must be a freakin' Mensa Club Jedi Master. It's up to you however, to determine if paying its price would be a smart thing to do. Speaking of clubs, if someone were to buy yesterday's , think of all the...

Many equate Volvo with a rectilinear design aesthetic that affords the aerodynamics of a mid-century modern home. Today's 122S may fly in the face of that paradigm, but does it also come with a price that's grounded in reality? With the introduction of their 1949 models, the Ford Motor Company...

The unicorn is a mythical beast, part horse, part... I don't know, narwhal? rhino? Today's '84 Chevy Van adds to the lore, but does its price myth the mark? Yesterday's had doors that open in the way the Atlanta Braves' fans used to root for their team. And, while South...

On the Internet, a 404 error means a broken or dead link at that particular address. Today's Peugeot 404 is a link to the Gallic past, but will its price make you point your browser elsewhere? They say there's six degrees of Kevin Bacon, and much like that well connected...

The annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show is to the automotive industry what dingleberries are to your ass. Still, there's always something at the Vegas show that makes it worthwhile. Today's custom Jeep Wrangler is claimed to have dangled at last year's show, but is its price worth your...

Putting a modern engine in an older car can either time-warp its performance, or point out the glaring faults of its remaining antiquated architecture. Today's Datsun 510 has received Honda's peaky F20C as its motivator, but should its price be even higher than its rev limit? Speaking of high, apparently...
