Get your facts straight!Not all were equipped with high-end V8's . . . . .Also, Wikipedia is not the most reliable source of information . . .

No these were definitely considered luxury cars by the manufacturer, and built for a safe smooth ride at high speed. The Mustang is a muscle car-the Crown Vic, even the police version is definitely no muscle car.

Hi,I'll have to say a Luxury car.Mac

Neither. There were some Crown Victorias equipped with a special police package, which included among other things 351 motors and upgraded suspensions, but to call any Crown Victoria a muscle car is to grossly overrate it. They were absolutely not all equipped as police interceptors. In fact, the majority of them were equipped as overweight, underpowered, gas-guzzling mushy-riding overrated full-size sedans, many of them with a weak 302 that was choked with smog devices and burdened with a hybrid 2-barrel half-carburetor-half-fuel injector. Even the 5.0 Mustangs from the 80s got decent fuel injection. Some Crown Victorias were upgraded with lots of power accessories, but to call them luxury cars is again overstating them. If you wanted something from the Ford Motor Company that was luxurious, you could step up to Lincoln, which ironically was built on the same rehashed Panther chassis. On the flip side, my 1985 Crown Victoria lasted 250,000 miles and 20 years before the engine lost oil pressure and died.
