Anyway, I was cruising on that road…

I couldn’t think of one until I got a call on Thursday morning from my brother asking why I hadn’t posted this FHP Pursuit In Training Crown Vic I spotted at his shop awhile back.

    Now, this olelongrooffan has, until this point in time, been a Mystery Car virgin so I thought I would jump in with both feet. I spotted this car at a show a couple years ago and it is an original image of mine. Good luck over on google images. But I’ll bet my fellow Hoons…
