I would like to do a Flowmaster FX cat back, delete the mufflers, keep the resonators and put 4 inch exhaust tip straight out the back. Not too loud not too quiet, either. She only has 126,100 miles on it. Just broke in. I need to join a Panther Platform Owner's Club. There's 10 other Panther Platform Cars in the town I live in.

I used to work for a previously enjoyed used car dealer that bought a 03 f250 4x4 from the auction and wanted me to check it out for him. after looking under the hood it was well maintained and serviced with records! It started right up and sounded like a new truck the bed of the truck looked like it had loose boulders rolling around in it but he was hard up for anything at the time. I asked him if he ever looks at the odometers on any of these before buying because this one showing 449.000 miles on it. After he filled his diaper he had me take it up on the hill. It ran and drove great! If you look closely you can tell if anything has been changed and nothing.. All original drivetrain! 5.4 auto too. I realize we are talking about cars but I thought it would be something else to throw in the mix. I converted the truck into a plow rig and ran it thru knee deep snow one winter and he eventually sold the truck for a lot more than he paid for it. The buyers did not even question the mileage at all.

Ford should never have stopped making the panther platform. The plant in St Thomas Ontario where they were made is completely gone now, and I believe the land has been sold. What a shame. Just change the oil every 3,500 miles and the transmission and diff oil every 50,000 miles, and it will last for easily over 500,000.

These cars are built like a tank. But they won’t necessarily run forever like Scotty says. I am on my third crown Victoria, these cars have a known flaw in the top manifold that was made with a thin aluminum and plastic portion that tends to easily blow. Should have stayed as all aluminum. Anyways there was a suit against Ford and for a number of years they were being replaced. Of course that ended about a year before mine blew, a number of years back. Anyways my current 2003 started leaking coolant from the manifold seal where it meets the engine block, after sitting for about two years ( in doors garage). But this car was totally babied. And 88,000 miles is quite low for a 2003 in the year 2022. And like I said very babied and easily driven. Repair will be about $1500 when you include the engine flush and new coolant for about $180. Anyways. I still like them a lot. Good luck with yours.

It's sad, when young people buy well-maintained cars from older people. I'm also speaking for myself. I've ruined more than my share. I apply brake fluid to rubber parts. It supposedly softens them up again. I drive unibody cars (nothing else is available here, anymore). I simply don't drive them in winter, as soon as they start throwing salt. Often enough, you don't even need to replace the entire alternator, when only the internal regulator crapps out

I have an '04 with 190k on it. It still runs great, but New England winter salt has taken its toll. Parts of the frame are rusted, and body panels are rusting from the inside. Last year I bought an '07 with only 26k on it. It's been garaged and regularly washed and has almost no underside decay.

Every Ford/Lincoln/Mercury product I've ever had, I did nothing but work on them. I bought a 1975 Mercury Cougar XR7 right off the showroom floor. It had a 12/12 warranty. With 13K miles on it I had to put another tranny in it. It came from the factory with a C-4 transmission behind a 351 Cleveland engine. My 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL, with a 390 engine got 10 mpg, no matter how you drive. I was always working on the brakes. The best one I had was a 1965 Mustang.

I own a 2006 Merc GM w/105K miles on it. I am the 2nd owner and have for 9 years. Bought with 28K miles on it. I keep it maintained. Runs like a swiss watch...BUT it failed my VA state inspection due to a seatbelt light showing some kind of failure. It has been in the body shop for 3 months and they can't find the needed replacement piece as, they say, these cars have mostly been crushed by now or the piece I need has already been scavenged. So I have a dream car, with absolutely no problem running, and I can't use it because it won't pass VA state inspection.
