Panther Sightings

Just a few places in media I've seen Panthers, or at least their generic "cousins". If I can provide info on the vehicle, I will.



Seems to be a 79-86 Country Squire I saw looking at an episode of the new Transformers series; Cyberverse. Bumblebee was in the Decepticon ship he and Wingblade stole, turning on an earth tv broadcast by accident, trying to press a button he's not supposed to.


 The 5-0, named after the show Hawii 5-0, from Saints Row II.  One thing I read claimed the 5-0, Interest, and Taxi are based off a civilian counterpart called the Alex-S.



The Albany Washington from GTA IV. The Washington has been in many games, but in GTA IV&V it has taken on a more Town Car appearance. I can't remember if there was a Grand Marquis equivilant or not.



The GTA IV version of the Vapid SPC(Stanier Police Cruiser) returns in GTA V as a civilian model, based loosely off the 92-7 aerovic, some were used as taxis. Below is the whale Stanier, the newer model Vapid Stanier only seen as a police cruiser or FIB vehicle.



So a friend of mine downloaded some free game called Goat Simulator, where you wrecl havoc as a goat, one of the seemingly three vehicles in the game you cam destroy is this Crown Vic looking car. Kinda looks like a 98-02 with a GCC grille. Jan 13 2020.

*This page will be updated as I run across others.

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...
