Want to see something different? Here's my 70 Fairlane 500.
It's a work in progress. The 'air' above the front tire has been fixed, now it's tucked a bit. The pic was taken the day the tires were mounted.

Pic from the rear. I have a pic of the interior somewhere.
As for the color? I don't know. I bought it this way. Closest color match I could find flipping through the paint chip books where I used to work was a newer corvette blue, but it still wasn't a match. It needs some touch-up on just about every panel, as every panel has some kind of 'issue' such as a scratch, chip or ding.
Plans for the future include rear discs, adapting the watts linkage from a newer crown vic on to the rear (maybe the whole 8.8), possible front cradle swap from a Mk VIII (since I have one sitting in the back yard) to get r&p and some newer suspension bits. Haven't measured the crown vic cradle, but I think it's close too. Sticking with the 351C while putting a 4R70W behind it with adapted electronics from a v6 mustang.
Interior changes will be limited to a new steering wheel and shifter along with a new headliner. Front seats are out of a newer bonneville with the original rear seat upholstered to match.
