Stumbled across this article. A lot here could be adapted for use on a Country Squire or Colony Park.... I haven't read everything yet. Main deal is the '85 2-door body has a frame from an '07 Crown Vic, the instrument panel from the same Crown Vic, console and floor shift from a CV Sport, and a 4.6 mod motor from the owner's existing '03 (? - not sure of this) Crown Vic, + turbocharger. He will be yanking the 4.6 soon for a DOHC 5.4, normally aspirated.

Video from the build thread. Almost done... Guy even did the painting himself..... Car show pic: Lots more 'finished' pics on page 30 of the build thread.
WOW, I am sooooo dig'n this!!. Have to say at first the marauder wheels looked wrong but going through the build they grew on me. Only 2 pet peeves I could come up with and the first can be taken care of in a minute with a razor blade, the road kill sticker on the windows and get a hood ornament. Beautiful build, hands down to the builder/owner, what a awesome drivers seat to be behind in a REAL car.....
Just as unusual to find a 2-door also. Umpteen years trying to find one, preferably with a 351W, for Dad. No success.
