well the 86 crown vic was based on the FOX platform same as the 79-04 mustang and and up to 88 year thunderbird/mercury cougar.



Whoa, hang on . . the 79-up Crown Vic was the Panther platform if I'm not mistaken (and I *have* been mistaken quite a bit before).

What makes the whole situation confusing is that there was an LTD, which was a Fox platform car (I've heard it was nicknamed "the 4-door Mustang"), and then there was the LTD Crown Victoria, which was on the fullsize Panther platform.

Of course, slicing and dicing names of vehicles and using them on different models caused confusion - I'm not sure what brainiac at Ford decided that was a good idea , but I'm sure hilarity ensued.

The Fox-platform LTD is better known (albeit incorrectly) as the LTD II.

Dredging up this topic back from the dead . . . it may not have the same number of doors, nor does it have the red button, but this has been my daily driver for at least 2 years now, and I've had it since late 2008.
