Panther Interchangability

Simply put; if you're wondering what from what car  of whatever year will work on yours, bodywise, this is for you. Big tip; Nothing exterior on a Town Car(any year) works/fits the other cars. Nearly all the Town Car interior swaps, however.  Well... the seats swap, but as far as power for the seat, switches will need to be altered in some fashion depending on year and trim of the TC and year/trim/model you're putting the seats in, there's also whether or not there are airbags, and if the seatbelt sensor runs different ohms. The rear seats bolt right in, but the TCs seat bottom is shaped slightly different than GMQ and Vic bottoms for 97-11. Usually having leather and a drop-down armrest is why TC seats are swapped in. The dash in the TC is wider, bolts up differently and the windshield edge is shaped differently. Mind you none the exterior swaps, so the affiliated interior parts don't either. The steering wheels swap, but there's the matter of getting the buttons to work. The trunk carpet will swap. So will the wheels.

Welcome To Panther Platform Info

With the unknown fate of CrownVic.Net(CVN), I decided to take what I can to preserve the invaluable knowledge on the site, as well as anywhere else I can find it. Whatever pictures are there are what it is, espcially with the advent as all us forum users have been aware of for a  year or two; Photobuckets greedy, moronic act of making hyperlinking images a part of paid member services. If the king shall fall; there are other places you can join as a panther owner. I am also updating this entry to say; I do not own any of the pictures you find here! They were saved or screenshot from various messageboards and websites, posted by members of therein, or owners of sites. I hate to have to say all this, but people get stupid or petty. All I'm doing is compiling as much info as I can, that could be lost, or not found where ever. As well as new things.  The pictures oughta be free use, as they are informative or posted to help others. It also keeps the pics from getting lost for...

Modding Your Panther

I know many prefer to mod their Vic or Marquis, some even a Town Car. You joined a site like CVN or PBB, or simply found threads through google and see people talking about mods or posting build or mod threads. Let me tell you despite how common these cars are, they aren't really ever looked at from a performance standpoint and those of us who see the possibility aren't as common in the community compared to those who just want to drive the car, has it as a winter beater, wreck and otherwise commit herecy by using it in demo derbys, or perhaps the worst offense; donking one out.  We should be ever thankful for the likes of ADTR for giving us the opertunity. You'll see most of what's out there is pricey. We are a nichè folk and in the grand scheme the little that's out there isn't too much more in price than other cars. A set of performance RCAs for a Mustang isn't $50 because people love them more for performance. As such; for somebody wanting to mod their c...

Modding part two

I want to add that first; modding your panther won't be cheap. I forgot to mention that, the first time. We don't have the vast amount of parts, say a Mustang, or Civic would have. Secondly; what we do have is in a way expensive... or cheap bastards such as myself and cheap Panther owners might say the parts are expensive. If you compare some of it to other cars, you'll see the prices are about the same, though. We should be thankful that anybody took the time to engineer parts for our cars, since it's not seen as a performance platform. I'm betting the Maurader had some play in that. You'll see.many people say "GeT a MuStAnG."  I like them too, but I love sedans and these cars can be built to perform fine. You'll also see things like it's too heavy. Yes and no. Average wieght of Panthers is between 3800 and 4200 lbs. Mine was wieghed on a junk scale at 3950 with me, another person, some carry junk in it. I was around 250lbs and the other per...
