Like a Christmas Miracle, please enjoy this multi-fold glorious gift.
Christmas Gremlin X
First, of course is that it is a Gremlin. Next up is the festive and seasonal color. Finally, the greatest gift of all: a delightful, and previously unheard of spin on our raison d’etre. Dear friends, this auto was not ran when parked, no. It was…
“Parked running.”
Merry Christmas from Ran When Parked.
Awww yea! 1986 Ford Crown Vic…
Bodyman Special
PRO
Smogged and registrd
PRO
Only 38k miles from the one original owner
CON
Probably too old a model to evoke fear in the rearview mirror as I roll up behind younger drivers. I mean, isn’t that part of the fun of driving a Crown Victoria? Seeing cars ahead of you on the highway peel off, knowing they’re thinking, “DANG! Law enforcement approaches!”
PRO
“Like new condition…”
CON
“…before being ditched!”
In general “ditched” is not part of the positive lexicon one associates with advertising, is it?

Who doesn’t love a Two Grand Two? Sure there were some bad years in there, but let’s face it: they’re cute. Charming. And in some cases, non-operating.
"Non-Op" may be correct; Avoiding saying Ran When Parked?
There is still a fee to keep the Non-Op status with the ol’ DMV. And, in those eighteen (18!) prevailing years, there wasn’t a kid [now of voting age] who could have benefited from driving this looker?
