My middle son, who put the DOHC in the 99GT, had an unfortunate timing chain tensioner failure. Cloyes setup for the motor was over $300 and you would expect it to last a long time. Anyway, as a result the cylinder head and valves are damaged. On a college kid budget he decided it would have to sit for a while. In the meantime he was driving our 07 and racking up the miles. My father-in-law passed away over a year ago and my mother-in-law got tired of driving the P71 Crown Vic so I offered to give her whatever a dealer offered her as a trade in. I went up to Chicago and got it a couple weeks ago. She had hit a light pole in a parking lot and banged up the passenger front pretty good, it needed a tire and a wiper arm. I got a tire and wiper arm and drove it 500 miles back home. It developed a missfire which turned out to be a coil pack. Anyway, did some work on it and gave it to my son so we could get our 07 back. He loves it!
