I'm now on my 3rd Mercury Grand Marquis in 20 years. What I really like about them, the 2 previous ones were crashed
into and totaled by some idiots. Both times I got out of them without a scratch. Thank you Mercury.
First time owner of a 2004 Grand Marquis
48k miles
One previous owner (RIP)
Never looking back i absolutely love this car
YESSS This has sooo much information, I had to screen shot like 5 times to keep it for later.
YAS
I have a 2006 LTC Signature Limited … just turned to 89,000 - runs absolutely flawless !!! I have no plans to sell or trade it !!!
Worked building these cars for 10 years was there at the end
Cool show ! 😊
I owned a 01 Mercury Grand Marquis for many years and it gave me many years of reliable service . I hope to get a another Panther platform car down the road .
My favorite platform! Comment which car is your favorite on the platform!
Thks buddy. Love your channel man. !!!
Glad you enjoy it!
I own 3 of these cars and I love them but unfortunately in my area everyone uses them for a derby car. There dropping like flys in my area. I hate seeing it because these cars are stronger and more reliable then ALOT of these brand new cars
Just picked up a 2011 Crown Vic P7B Rhode Island trooper car. I'm doing #7 putting miles on it. Had a '86 P71 25 years ago, hope this one is as good. I've got Grand Marquis leather seats coming in a couple weeks for the 2011.
Awesome to hear! Link a video when you do it, I head the gmq seats are the best swap.
Just picked up a 97 grand marquis dark green light green interior 85k in mint condition for only 2500 love it
Nice vid, Somewhat long comment in coming. My first car 04 grand marquis ls Ultimate Edition got summer 2019 love it only big maintenance was blend door, drafts axel bearing. I do wonder how these car would be nowadays will they keep the massive trunk & good ground clearance? In the future in I'm looking to get a 04 or 03 marauder hopefully 4 I just found out it has staggered tires not a fan because i want a sqaure fit as my daily for some say if you do that traction control will start messing up will keep doing research . Another thing i find odd how some many at the time didnt want big v8s/ sedans but here we are with so many different versions of the charger , Challenger, & others
Hi Sir I have an absolutely Gorgeous 2007 Lincoln Town Car Signature L.... LONG wheelbase. Beautiful Cashmere Tri-Coat Paint. Only 26,000 Miles. I baby the hell out of her but do drive her three to four days a week to keep her alive. Plus I LOVE the absolutely smooth ass and quiet ride, this baby I think drives smoother than my Cadillac Brougham did. Beautiful Reliable American Car. !!! Thanks for your great videos.....
You're awesome! Thanks for being a subscriber, more panther videos coming soon!
2004 Lincoln towncar, bought I 2 years ago with 41k on it. It now has 67k on it already
I currently have an '07 MGM Ultimate Edition.
Pretty much as "loaded" as they come.
Black, with black vinyl ( leather...lol ) interior.
OEM moonroof and OEM ( non-police ) trunk organizer.
Premium sound system w/ 6cd in dash and OEM amplifier.
Plus the regular options.
I like it. 😊
Sounds like an amazing car! Honestly, in an older car, that plastic "leather" does well over time, while poorly maintained leather doesn't. Pros and cons haha
2009 Smokestone paint Grand Marquis Ultra Edition with 248,000+ miles. Rebuilt front end and brakes after car was given to me by first owner. 26mpg on highway and uses no oil. This is my fourth Grand Marquis (1975-1981-1989 priors.)
2003 300B Marauder
2006 LS all stock, 56k miles. I thought I might hear about exhaust mods and how they might increase hp. Thinking of doing the Marty but not a major priority yet. Great video. Liked and subbed.
Thank you! These videos get insanely detailed and I could talk for 10 hours, but I want people to still watch it!
The everything I know about the modular motor video covers hp a bit more in depth, thanks for the comment!
I have a 1988 baby blue lincoln town car with dark blue interior with a nice patina on the outside removed the top and fixed rust hole behind rear glass put clear coat over patina has 96k miles im fixing up the door panels getting them to oem standard and repairing dash and coolant gauge I want oem quality seats aren't ripped and carpit is great I get between 18-21 mpg regularly its a florida car so barely any rust.
Bad ass! 88 is a good year, I've had an 89, 3 86s, and 2 87s. Those door panels don't hold up well sadly
Lincoln town car
Great video!! Tons of information. I have a 2005 Grand Marquis LS Premium. I swapped out the rear air suspension for a conventional set up. Left the compressor in, though. The only modification I want to do on her is exhaust. She has the 239hp Modular V8, factory dual exhausts with the factory H pipe. What I want to do is install a cat back Flowmaster FX muffler system, delete the factory mufflers, keep the resonators, and add 4 inch Marauder exhaust tips with custom hangers. Not too loud, not too quiet. Makes the sweetest sound out of the 4.6, since the 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 notchback I bought brand new in April of that year. That was my first new car. The Mercury I have now. I found it for my late Dad. It has every option including front power bucket leather seats with center console shifter and a factory power moonroof. He bought it used in January 2011with 75,000 miles on it. He past away six months after he finished paying for it. The only thing it needs is a paint job. The exhaust mod is the only thing I want to do with her. I recently had to replace the rear differential because the passenger side wheel bearing failed. Other than that she runs so good. She only has 127,600 miles on it. We love it. Again excellent video. I'll watch your video on the 4.6 engine.
thats an awesome car! I had a set of 26" cherry bombs on a 2010 vic and I was convinced that was a perfect sound, but that's subjective, lol. that same car also had a passenger rear wheel bearing fail as well as yours. thanks for the comment!
@@TeamRocketGarage Thanks!! I viewed your video on the Ford Modular Motors. The 4.6 2V, the 5.4 2V or 3V and the 6.0 V10. Again, very informative. I've always used the original OEM 5W20 engine oil for my Mercury. Every 3 months or 3 to 5,000 miles. Or the dipstick turns a bit brown. You mentioned in the engine video that these motors tend to burn a little oil. Mine doesn't burn or leak any engine oil in the more than 12 years we've owned it. Although, I'm waiting for that shoe to drop. Do you think these motors tend to burn a little oil because the oil itself is so light? And because its an overhead cam engine, that clacking noise at cold start sometimes and sometimes at warm start is because the oil is so light as well? Anyway, your channel is awesome!!
@grovermayersjr8025 Thank you so much for the compliment! I'm not sure why, I just keep ford 5w20 syn in my carport and top off as needed!
@@TeamRocketGarage Cool!!
2003 Mercury Grand Marquis LSE(heavily modified) tuned by Mo's Speed shop aka Marty
5.4 3v short block
Trickflow 38cc heads
Stage 3 Modular Head Shop tfs cams
5.4 HPS Hardball'r intake manifold
SCT BA2600 90mm Maf
Bbk longtube headers w/ full 2.5" exh
Bbk 78mm throttle body
Detroit trutrac diff
Sounds like an awesome car! How do you like the 5.4??
@@TeamRocketGarage the 5.4 is just a better overall experience even with just a stock 5.4 2v
Not being picky but this car had 1st place cause it had 5 stars for every crash scenario they tested. 1st sedan to do that.
True it was really good in a crash.. but the side impact was the reason the model stopped production. :( I love the vics!
@@TeamRocketGarage It got 5 stars across the board. Side, front, rear, quartering away and 1 more I can't think of. There's a reason why law enforcement chose them for decades.
2003 Mercury Grand Marquis LSE
awesome car, the LSE is fully loaded right?
I got a 05 grand marquis with 265xxx a 04 cv lx sport with 84xxx and a 95 town car with 98xxx
Just got a '98 MGM, 110k miles owned by the same family for 20+ years. Had an '87 Town Car years ago really wanted that ride again. Really liking it but a little apprehensive about the 4.6l intake problem.....gonna take it as it comes.
yeah, they're good cars! the 4.6 isnt all bad, people just loved the 5.0 so much that they look over the 4.6.. but really, the 5.0 in the 87 towncar was 140-150hp, and the engine in your GMQ is like 215 at least? would take a lot of money to bridge that gap alone you know.
@@TeamRocketGarage Yeah, I'm gonna take the repairs as they come, it's a really nice car, only had it
@@mer58lin doesn't that make you feel amazing? Like you have a car so nice that people try to buy it?
@@TeamRocketGarage Its humbling to be sure I made a really good choice.
I have a 2007 marquis GS. I Found a set of mesh wheels but the front calipers a to big. What can I do to get more power without breaking the bank
2004 mercury grand marquis ls
awesome car! LS means fully loaded babyyyy
@@TeamRocketGarage I just replaced the rear shock absorbers with some Monroe shock absorbers with the Police Package. The difference is almost unbelievable.
@@jacksdulaney thats awesome! I might get those for my towncar!
@TeamRocketGarage they take out at least 90% of the bounce. Not bad for $117.
Is my 2000 grand marquis a panther platform ?
I'm thinking about some new wheels, 19"-8.5 +30
W/ 255/40 tires !
not sure yet.
Yep! That's a panther!
For a 19x8.5 on a 2000 you'll want closer to a 0 offset, because the axle is narrower on the 79-02 than the 03+
Here's a visualizer as well that shows how that wheel will fit so you can measure on your car.

The Town Car was briefly available in 1980 as a coupe.
ohhhh good point! Very hard to find!
I own 99 grand marquis and 07 vic
Awesome! Which do you like more?
My 99 the 07 has more power but to electrical for me
@paulstriplin6384 haha I get that. I miss the simple cars.
I have a 68 impala series here. 0 electronics. Didn't even have a stereo or passenger mirror.
@@TeamRocketGarage yes I love the simple car's
You forgot the firing order when listing the difference in the ho and non ho 5.0. The firing order gave the ho its torque and unique sound.
Good point!
This cars are jeepers creepers or chuck norris on wheels because of the reliability 😅😅
Also saw a video of someone swapping the 4.6 to a 5.4 2 valve is that also possible
It is possible.
it is a bolt in affair. However, the 5 4 has a lower redline due to a longer stroke. If you run it on a 4.6 tune, you'll explode the engine
@@TeamRocketGarage OK so it’s a bolt on, but need to tune the 5.4 be perfect for the crown, VICS, and the Mercury specially, with the gear ratio that the normal cars come with
I got the 03 Marauder. Unfortunately, at times it comes with all the weird passive-aggressive hating from some of those modified Crown Victoria owners. Always some Denny's cook from the Midwest with the P71 he got $2000.
Lolllll. They think they're elite status cause they have the "cop chip"
That said, they all have redeeming factors... the marauder just has the most 😆
@@TeamRocketGarage Lol. I can't say I've ever heard of a marauder guy say that. However, what I can say is that your p71 Denny's cook has the expectation of a cop chip because he's the one buying a cop car and is struggling to squeeze what he can out of that two valve.
I had to do a double look at your profile pic lol
@@CaptainCJ97 lol they are wild
Easy fix…. Stop eating at Denny’s
wanna buy an 89 towncar in mint condition
Where is it? Price?
@@TeamRocketGarage missouri look my channel towncar exhaust been grandmas in a garage since 89 im about to put a brand new transmission in it once it arrives shes clean inside and out
@@TeamRocketGarage hard to put price on her there is only 2 blimeshes on the car
@@TeamRocketGarage got a 69 442 cutlass id trade
