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

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.

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...
