Pastured 1987 Cop Car Finds New Purpose

How many of you would see this car as a diamond in the rough? Well, we don't either, but this is an '87 LTD Crown Vic with an interceptor 351 Windsor. As factory Windsors go, it's as good as it gets.
Here's a picture of this very car during its heyday in the 1995 film Crying Freedom about a South Korean assassin who cries every time he kills someone. The movie stars Rae Dawn Chong. Maybe you saw it? Kidding, this is actually a 1988, but LTD's are driven by cops and thugs in hundreds of movies just like the cars are driven by the same types in real life.
It is only fitting that the heart of this car be allowed to live on in this beautiful beast:
This is a '51 Ford pickup that's supposed to be our shop truck. Unlike the projects we do for you, this one is having trouble getting done. Time and finances; can you relate?
