I doubt if wheels made for a front wheel drive car will fit on a rear wheel drive car.

Saw a brand new crown vic with the sport appearance package. It was dark blue and had the aluminum wheels. It looked great! Now just give it some power and i am sold.

#874 of 3244 Is the Peformance/Handling Package in the VIN by redly_one Apr 20, 2001 (11:07 pm)
Is there any way to tell from a VIN if a CV has the performance and Handling Package? OR, even more...Is there any way to tell? I am looking at a 99 CV LX

I think they have dual exhausts and a rear sway bar.
#876 of 3244 redly, look for a power steering cooler and a larger tire size. by kinley Apr 21, 2001 (2:37 pm)

I believe the posters are correct...non-perf will have single exhaust and no sway bar running under the rear end diff...the dual pipes should be fairly obvious, and when running up the rear of one in traffic, the sway bar is quite evident...
#878 of 3244 REPAIR HELP NEEDED! by triplej1 Apr 22, 2001 (5:52 pm)
Hey everyone, I own a 1996 Crown Victoria Police and Im having a problem with the temperature gague on the instrument panel. It initialize and move up to Cold when the car starts; occasionally after about 30mins of driving it moves instantly up to Hot, but dies again when the engine is turned off. It only moves up to Hot once in a while, and recently hasn't been moving at all even after hours of driving. I've looked at several repair manuals, all useless because none of them were specific enough on the year as to where the sensor is. I was wondering if anyone could help!!
#879 of 3244 What should I do? Please help me by evilmgr Apr 25, 2001 (8:13 pm)
I am a 18 year old high school senior who will be attending college next fall. I currently have a 94 Olds Achieva. I don't really like the Achieva due to it being too small and uncomforatable for me because I am 6' 5". I also don't trust that car to make it through 4 years of college reliably. This is why I am thinking of getting a new car.   I have been looking at older Crown Vics and found a 93 with 71,000 owned by some old people who claim to have rarely drove it in winter which is nice to hear in Minnesota. They want $5,200 for it and I am seriously considering it.   Do you think that this car would survive 4 years of driving 60-80 miles a day round trip to go to college and work? My main concern is reliability but I also can't argue with a V8   So basically all I need to know is do you think a 93 CV would serve me better than a 94 Achieva over the next 4 years of heavy driving?   Thanks for any help you can give me!

After graduation the car will have about 140,000 miles +/- 10,000. Taxis & state troopers put more miles than that on their Crown Vics. When you pull regular maintenence and drive it with ease, it should last through graduation. I admire your working while attending college. It can be done and the effort 50 years later will have been worth it. Good Luck to you & much success.
