I don’t care what anyone says. The p71 is the greatest car ever made. Period. They are just jealous with their overpriced wussy cars. The Crown Victoria rules.
100% Agreed i own a 2005 CVPI P71
Pat Smat me too lol
Hydra Jackson awesome
Amen i love my 2011 cvpi
My next car will probably be another crown vic
I’ve owned my 2005 p71 for 4 years now and have no regrets.
Reliable and inexpensive to maintain. It has now 160k miles and am now looking for another one for backup.
I drive it like the old man I am and the wife also likes it.
The paint is the only negative on it which was a typical issue.
I have a used P74 black ⚫️ Crown Victoria LX Sport sedan. The vehicle was "re painted" about 4yr ago. Cheap shop. It's a 2005 & in Florida so the ☀️, humidity tear into it.
When buying a crown vic that is being represented as a PI if you have any doubt just reference the VIN #. It will tell you depending on the year of the car if its a P71 or P72
Rick David >>> Or a P7B if it was made from 2010 to 2011.
I own a white 2001 ford crown victoria p71, actually this is my second bought one, I used to have a 1999 model that I bought first back in 2016, I ended up selling the 1999 ford crown victoria p71 for $500 last year but I kept my 2001, great driving automobiles😊❤👍
Very nice video but there are difference between the 4.6 in the mustang and vic. One for example in 2005+ the mustang was 3v the vic remained 2v
Cactus Rider vic had mustang heads
What is the point of speeding on a wet public roadway?
The P71-hated by criminals and shady people,Loved by everyone else!
This car - is my dream. Realy! I'l buy it in future!
Да-машин и правда неплохой, катаю его тут во Флориде второй машиной. Но вот по зиме/снегу/льду лучше что-то из кваттро присмотреть
Replace all the factory rubber frame and suspension bushings with polyurethane. ADCO sway bars and bushings. ADTR.net has many other great parts. Full engine, brake, steering tuneup. Just this stuff alone will make the Vic handle 100% better and last another 20 years.
I would black out that chrome, nice car bro.
very good vid dude
Love mine 97 crown vic fast car an its nice wen people move over to lol
130 top speed not 140
Depends on the rear end (3.27 or 3.55). I can't remember which was which, but one was limited to 129 and the other was 139. It's all about the harmonics of the driveshaft. The different rear gear changes the speed those harmonics are reached.
they're slow
Your slower
Great for what they were. Modern OHC V8. Body on frame. End of an era.
fun fact, the Kevlar doors are an optional feature from 2006-2011. Not many departments paid for it. Mine is a 2001 outfitted with Kevlar after market by my county. My SAP was an investigator car used by the sheriff's office for 14 years. I've never driven a more wonderful car.
I'd add that not all P71/CVs are worth the $. I'd avoid a K9 🐕 type model. The stains & smells are bad. 👎 I plan to buy a 1998 CV PI series that I think had the SAP style. The owner explained that the PI sedan was a MI detective car, leather seats. No cage or roof holes. 👍
Wow that is definitely a fun fact!
You'll be all set to drive in Cartel Country in Mexico? I haven't seen a shoot out yet, but my dentist in Nogales has a bullet hole in his window - maybe he was a little too rough pulling an tooth?
The Marauder is the performance version of the Grand Marquis not the Crown Victoria
I own a 2008 P71 interceptor Titanium gray color and I love it to death! Its the best car I've ever owned.
Cops always wave hi at me, and people in public love to stare as I driver pass them,lol. Its a reliable, fast cheap car to fix. I plan to driver this P71 to the ground.
Pierre DePeralta I have an 08' P71 as well! Lol & I experience the exact same shit on the daily! 😂
Got the same one Bro.. Blak on Blak.. Enjy!!
You should upload a video of your Nice car
Never met a cop who didn't love my P71. If you buy a beat ass one and whack it out, yeah, they'll pull you over and waste your time. But keep it clean and simple, they're always happy to talk about it.
Just bought a 09 crown vic p71 same color as yours. Like new on the inside. So far I love it
Im in highschool and have close to no knowledge about cars, but from the videos I have seen and going on ebay I think crown victoria is the move
Did you get one?
@@dogge929 Im now in their situation lol. Looking at a P71 with some lights as a volly FF
@@Thatyoungbasic take the damn lights off or you will be harassed. I don't care what people say, but some people will view you badly if you don't.
my 2003 had the light control module go out. It was $500 to repair. quite to my surprise, Ford sent me a check a few months later to cover the full cost.
My 2005 Ford CV P74 with 180000mi had the rear LCM cut out. 💡 the repairs-labor 🔧 were about $1200.00.
Police interceptor 💕💞💕💞
My dream Car... 😍
I'll add one other thing, and then I'll shut up: Why my sudden comments on an almost two year old video? Because you can add me to the long list of people who have added their names to the proud ownership of these wonderful cars.
Monday, July 22, 2019: Got a 2011 Ford CV P7B PI; from Sacramento, CA. Black, steelies, no spots, no push bar-- though I plan to change the latter to a yes in the next week or so.
Born on date: Fri, August 19, 2011 (Car built 27 days before the last Vic was built on Thu, Sept. 15, 2011).
I own a 2011 Crown Vic Police, and I use it for a Taxi-Cab. It had 157,000 km when I bought it, and now reads 300,000 km. Overall it has been a good and reliable car for that purpose.
I bought a 2009 police interceptor as well and it's been nothing but fun for the 6 or 7 months I've owned it.
Got one
Are you still driving it? I may get one because while it has less premium features I love the simplicity and reliability that this offers.
Still got it no issues
I’m going to buy a very clean 2009 cvpi with 44K miles.
deathraydave did you get the car?
It didnt work out
Christian Langford I got a 2009 SAP with 80K miles, 3400 idle hours. The police department I got it from spent 2300$ repainting the sides. Got it for $3900 everything
Reggie overdose if you have Instagram it’s @whiteout_cvpi leave me a comment if you stop by
Thank you for your informed history of the CVPI. Your elucidation was appreciated as well as your excellent audio & oration. It is a welcome relief from listening to people who mumble, interject "ums" & Ahs" , & basically speak as though English was their 4th language. WELL DONE !!
Just finally got one. A 2011, the last year for these wicked cars. Loved this and thank you. Just subbed.
for the Crown Vic Police Interceptors there was a package called Street Appearance Package... not Special Appearance Package... the Crown Victorias was first introduced in the mid 50's as a 2 door but in 78 or 78 Ford brought them back as a sedan until 2011...
That is what I mean to to say. Thank you for the corrections
the first crown victoria was a version of the ford fairlane a two door coupe. The new crown vic is related more with the Ford LTD.
Ford didn't use the Crown Victoria name on the LTD until the redesigned down sized 1979 model. It was then called the LTD Crown Victoria. At some point in the mid-80's, the LTD name was dropped. I want to say with the 1986 model year, but am not certain.
Street appearance package, not special appearance. I drive one myself, but I've never seen one with a push bumper and center caps. Kinda takes away from the unmarked look
Shenandoah Medic I would love to find a push bar for my 07 MGM!
Shenandoah Medic A push bar is the most attractive thing to ever exist.
@@shelliecarlson7015 I used a security company CV-PI model. Be leery of front push bars. 😏 the front add ons can screw up the sensors-air bag systems. The Ford alert-noise would always crank up due to the front LE type push bar.
Yeah, the cow catcher is a definite giveaway. But I don't think this was a stealth cruiser. I'm quite sure it was the perk ride for a shift commander or chief. Look at the pristine seats and the tan interior. Police cars always seem to have black interiors.
Agreed. What's the point of being unmarked with the aforementioned extras?
Drink a shot everytime you here "None The Less". None the less, awesome review :)
Actually that platform was first rolled out in 98' i owned a 00' interceptor for a few years and it was always dependable and wouldn't leave me stranded. It might not have had the 250+hp as the 04 and up have but it definitely had way more than enough balls when you hit the gas
BEST family owned vehicle ever made...for under $4k you can get an incredible ride...let the kids bounce around, go on vacation and let the wife over pack (no problem trunk is massive) ...get the roll bar and external lights and people will get out of your way the entire trip! Find a detective model with lower idle hours...
Gorgeous car, interesting video... although a couple points have me somewhat confused.
At 0:54 you say the Police Interceptor was introduced in 1999. I have a '98 Vic and all my documentation says it's one of those... from the P71 on the V.I.N. plate, to the words "Police Interceptor" printed on both the title & my insurance cards.
2nd: at about 5:44 you mentioned something about body on frame design of the police interceptor. I'm pretty sure all Vics were made that way. Something of a legacy design from the first LTD Vics of the 1970's. Plus, it would've been too expensive for Ford to redesign the civilian Vic into a Unibody type car. I can't imagine the logistical nightmare of needing 2 factories to build such different versions of one car.
Your correct on both points. I have a 98 p71 that is the interceptor. The panther platform which includes the victoria grand marquis and lincoln town car are all full frame on body.
That ending was fucking hilarious 😂 beautiful car, beautiful job! 😍
The light control module is a recall for the crown vic from the 03 to 05. If you take it to a ford dealer ship they will fix it for FREE!!
Tyson Cacy mine was fixed last year under the recall. It’s a 2003.
Only problem is that when Ford replaces the LCM under the recall, they just install a new LCM that is just the same. They didn't make any updates/fixes. So it will fail after a similar amount of time.
Your incorrect. SAP is Street Appearance Pkg
Where can I find/install the radio you have?
With Ford stopping the Crown Victoria, it is the whole Chevy Caprice situation from the 90s again.
And sure enough the surplus Explorers are decent, but definitely not the same
I got a 2004 crown vic p71 for 1000 is a BEAST !!
Love p71s . It’s basically a blank canvas you can customize. It will look sexy as a off road, hot rod, or show car! So many possibilities. And it has a v8!
Pro Tip(2005 P74 Crown Vic); get higher end all season, higher end tires. Rain ☔️, sleet, snow can be issues. Better tires help maintain safety, smooth quiet ride.
Not true. Ballistic pkg was on OPTION and extremely RARE
In 2001 I bought a brand new all black CVPI. Don't know the full details why it didn't go to the police dept with all the other CVPI's they had parked in the back lot at the time but all the Ford dealer could tell me was the dealership received one car too many. The police dept received all the new CVPI's under their contract and couldn't take the extra one so the dealer was left with one extra car and they offer it for sale hoping someone would buy it. I happened to be in the market for my first brand new Crown Vic, never thinking I would be able to buy a brand spanking new CVPI so I was ready to buy and was more than happy to take it off their hands. It had the nicer interior like the top brass tends to drive so it wasn't just a bare-bones police car. I drove that car about 7 years before trading it on a beautiful top-end Grand Marquis but that CVPI was THE best car I've ever owned and never had a single problem with it apart from periodically replacing tires, brakes, belts, oil, filters, wiper blades, etc... basically all the things that eventually wear out on their own. That car was a one-time deal and I was happy it all came together the way it did.
That package you were speaking of (that it was before he put the police looking rims and push bar) is actually called the
'Civilian Appearance Package'
It normally consists of full coverage yet conservative hubcaps,a chrome grill and exterior trim,no spotlights,pushbar,or externally visible lights,markings,or antennas.
Also that car nor will any of the cars after 2003 could ever go over 125 to 130 mph unless they were reprogrammed for US Marshal Service and some Military use where transcontinental(regularly traveling the distances of several states or cross county).
+/-
Note too, the Taurus & Explorer POLICE packages that replaced the P71 CVPI, did good with the 3.7L V6 but not the EcoBoost 3.5L V6 option. The newer models however, ALL had water pump failures, and transmission issues at around 40,000 miles, especially the EcoBoost units that shredded the transmissions. Not a great idea, as also the turbos on the EcoBoost engines could also be prone to failure.
Ford SHOULD bring the Crown Victoria back with a stronger transmission and rearend setup from a Mustang using the Coyote 5.OL V8 as a standard engine, and the 3.3L V6 as the optional. STILL the best patrol cars EVER built in the past 30 years.
I used a Ford Taurus PI, 2014 as a security patrol car, 🚓. 2022. The vehicle was DX, out of order often. The car was "cramped", hard to get in, out of with duty gear. Ford didn't keep the Taurus PI series long.
Cheap muscle and a great family car.
03 and 04 cvpi's top out at 130 mph all 05 and newer cvpi's top out at 119 120 mph. I guarantee you. Have you ever did a top speed run in yours?
5.7L Hemi I was about to say, its generally accepted in the community that the top speed is 125mph on average among all the models, not what it says on the dash, which is what I think he's going off of. It takes a lot to move this boat past 115 though lol
The 2006-2011 Police Interceptors are equipped standard with an open 3.27:1 rear axle (Axle code Z5), with a trac loc 3.27:1 rear axle (Axle Code X5) optional, and are electronically limited to 140 mph (225 km/h) due to critical driveline speed limitations (The weight of the vehicle with law-enforcement equipment on-board makes it highly unlikely the vehicle could ever reach this figure). An optional 3.55:1 trac loc rear axle ratio with 120 mph speed limiter was also available (Axle code C6). Pre-2006 Police Interceptors equipped with the 3.27:1 rear axle ratio were generally limited to approximately 128 mph (206 km/h)
Cactus Sensai Doug nice so it all just depends on what gears you have in yours. 140mph is a nice top speed for a crown Vic...
I have a 2011cvpi and did 130mph no problem I know it can go faster but I ran out of road.
My 2010 dose 140
Actually the 4.6 was offered in the crown Victoria before the mustang it was introduced in 93 or 94 I believe
and it only two valve
The aero redesign was introduced in 1992. There was another redesign for the 2003 model that switched to a rack and pinion steering and stiffer frame, making 03 and later more desirable. But even without those changes the Crown Vic has been a good solid car worth buying IMHO. I had an 86 CVPI 5.8L, a 92 civ and now drive the very best of the Ford Panther platform evolution, an 04 Marauder with a Vortech supercharger and a few other performance mods. I will never sell it.
I bought a 2006 Crown-Vic P-71 last Nov. I love everything about the car.......EXCEPT!........People driving on the road don't generally "get out of the way" when You pull up behind Them......NO!......They start S L O W I N G D O W N!!.......which pisses-me-off to the highest of "PISSTIVITY"!!!!
Built right here in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada.
you understand it was made in Canada only to avoid tax tarrifs right? It was a genius idea by ford to keep the cost so low as it was a fleet vehicle. Because of Nafta car companies got huge tax breaks for making vehicles in both Mexico and Canada.
@@kenm2709 You do know they were made in Canada long before NAFTA even existed? A number of "U.S." cars were built and are continuing to be built in Canada.
@@fabio40 for the same reason i just pointed out, so what are you getting at? nafta didnt end, its still cheaper to manufacture in canada then it is in the us for this exact reason
@@kenm2709 What am I getting at? What are YOU getting at? I just mentioned they were built just down the road from me and you have to turn it in to some sort of trade issue. I don't care why they were built here. The point was they were.
Canada sucks ball sack
Why does it look like he's got an old school green screen lol
is that Claude from GTA?
Lol
This is mostly word salad. You told us nothing.
Thransmission: 4R70W
Rear diff: 8.8 inch
Engine: 4.6l V-8, 3 valve P.I.
Speed limited to around 125 mph because the tailshaft bushing would walk out due to lack of enough lube.
I have wanted one since I was a Ford drivetrain tech. I finally picked up a MGM, stripper. Actually two. I have an 07 and my wife has an 06. Her's has the bells and whistles.
Such a fun car, and I actually look forward to driving again. We are into both cars, around $2400.
Is this a real p71? I noticed there is no dual exhaust...
This specific car was not a P71 as the sergeant who originally owned it ordered it for his own use
My 2006 Crown Vic came without interior controls for the rear doors or windows. Where can I buy those parts?
Are you referring to the door switches? I have a pair for sale
@@garagedenali Yes. How much for the switches? I also need the door actuating hardware connecting the interior rear door handles to their latches. There's no risk of suspects escaping now :)
Send me an email at garagedenali@gmail.com and we can talk about shipping
Absolutely great review! Learned a lot of what I needed to know, thank you
Ignore the people who claim "maintenance free." Folks, these are machines like any other, so they have some design flaws and they need routine (fluids, thermostat, water pump, brakes, etc.) and some extreme maintenance, such as one big issue is the poorly designed manifold and intake areas that are prone to coolant leaking which can quickly destroy the engine if ignored.
I love my Vickys, I have a 2004 LX and just got the last 2011 State Interceptor for only $4500! The best highway car on the road. And did you notice the dual exhaust rumble in the video :)
my aunt had a 20,000$ CD come due in 1994 and she went out and bought a new crown vic,..when i first saw it it looked like a stripper to me.she tells me it was supposed to be a detectives car but the deal fell through and she somehow got the car !! i looked it over, 4.6 v8,dual exhaust, big sway bars front and rear,posi trac,,civilian gauges,tires, hub caps,bench seat,it ran and drove like a regular 4 dr sedan,trans went out at 5K, after that was fixed she never had a problem..stayed in our family f 20 years,great driver, 180K,sold it f 400$, running just fine except the AC..me i have had f 20 yrs a 1977 Pontiac Police Enforcer,(400 4bbl)i drive it in the summer,and run into all these CV's,the smart drivers know better than to rev their engines at me,, the other dummies get beat by 4-5 car lenghts, my car is stock except f richer secondary carb jets..
$3000-$8000? Dude you got ripped off
I’m on my second one. I have an 07 which I’m going pass on to my son. I just got a 2011 with just 2000 miles!
Haven't seen a P71 in Police use for almost five years, anyone getting worried about one of these in their rear view has been living under a rock
Man, I really don't want to get rid of my Firebird, but If I do... Straight into one of these, I go.
CVPI! RULES!
Wow, you can spin the wheels on wet pavement...I mean wheel (singular) as they did not have posi traction. Pretty slow cars actually. How do I know? I have driven at least 10-12 of these things for many, many miles in all weather conditions. Also, bad gas mileage...17mpg if you are lucky. Painful drivers seat. Other than that, a very solid car and is my choice if some a-hole slamming into me is in the cards.
Those unmarked cars are only for revenue gathering. You could stop people from breaking the law by just using more marked cars.
Thank You So Much For This Video! My LCM On My 2004 CVPI Has Been Acting Up For Months And Due To Your Video I Found Out There's A Recall To Fix The Problem. Not Only Am I Getting It Fixed Next Week, But You Saved Me Nearly $200.
thanks for the technical review and historical perspective... there's so much stigma surrounding this vehicle that's its hard to sort through the bullshit just as a true motorhead
if i have one bit of criticism... it would have been nice to go through any model changes over the decade range this review is for... i want to have one of these when i get extra garage space... but i dont want to get stuck with a hunk of junk, there so many of them, i need an in depth buyers guide
not a sporty driving car he says.... I drive my 2011 on the Tail of the dragon and have a blast!
Love my car, but they are not that cheap to buy and maintain.
Like manifolds and vent door .
Slowest car basically except for a slow 4 cylinder old Japan made car.
Peter Brady ?
Blah bla blah same shit everyone knows... my 08 is running like a top
It looked perfect. Till I saw the chrome rear facial, put a black facial on that baby and shes good to go ^^
Hopefully these cars are still around at a good price when I’m older
They should be, many were made and you'll just have to be sure you find one that hasn't been beaten too much
Garage Denali o
Handsome guy, (no homo) enjoy the P71.
Why did it have to be said?
@phuck ewe so i shouldn't cum if the hand is wrapped around my rock hard throbbing shaft? I find that extremely difficult
This was the best Police Interceptor vid I've watched. Thank you.
The last badass car ever made in America...PERIOD. I hate the way new cars are made.
The Crown Vic was introduced in 1955 as the Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria. It ended up disappearing from the line in the 1960s and lowkey was tagging itself onto the Ford LTD until 1981 when the car was brought back out of retirement. In 1992, Ford made the Crown Vic THE car made for police use and didnt really hit the streets until 1993. Unfortunately the car was discontinued in 2011.
As a proud owner of 2005 CVPI, this is a greatly made video!
I just bought a 2010 police interceptor. I LOVE IT! Mine is a sheriff's car. I picked mine up for 1500 dollars. It has 100100 miles on it. It's a champ.
From where u bought?
@@jayj5185 an old man that lives down the street. He got it from an auction.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the ballistic door panels only come in the 2010 and 2011 versions.
BountyAgent X P71 versions only, NOT civilian
BountyAgent X correct. And they were a $2,000+ option that most departments did NOT get. So having that option is rare.
Wrong. 2008 p71 and I have Kevlar door panels
Every body is an expert on these cars.... let's compare a car designed 20 years ago to a 2018 cop car blah blah
Really enjoyed discovering your video. Your knowledge of these great cars is impressive and your presentation is ENTIRELY smooth and professional without umms, uhhs, or other distractions. I've subscribed to your channel. That black PI with the bars up front is one mean looking machine. I'd definitely have either one of these or the dark titanium. And the lines are such a great combination of lithe and muscular with genuine Detroit Iron guts and grunt.
The Charcoal Gray/Medium Titanium is one of my favorite colors for this car
my 2003 has 318,000 miles on it, great video.
Most used CVPIs were mostly used for drive-throughs at Dunkin Donuts & Krispy Kreme
The introduction looks nice it looks like it could work for a commercial to promote the Grand Marquis
The Taurus sucks compared to the Crown Vic.
121 is the top speed
I heard 129
that wasnt even a real police interceptor because the real ones dont say crown vic on them anywhere except for the manual but the white interceptor badge on it should be where it says crown vic, and a good majority of crown vic interceptors don't have chrome on them except for the center caps and around the windows
The SAP P71s had Police Interceptor badge replaced with the civilian spec Crown Victoria badge (that might have been optional). You can buy the Police Interceptor badges online which is what happened here. Someone bought it and stuck it on above the civ badge.
2004 models make the same HP as the 2005-2011.
IF you are looking for a reliable and durable car for a relatively low price.....you can't beat the Crown Victoria :D
140K solid driver.....
The Marauder project was intended to offer a Mercury Police package.
The Marauder, among other features, has a modified F250 transmission.
Ford, failing to interest various agencies in the higher priced Mercury platform, redoubled marketing efforts to the performance segment.
With typical Lincoln- Mercury thinking during the early 2000's being quick to jettison models other than Town Cars and basic Grand Marquis', within a 5 year window, the Cougar, Continental, Mark7, Blackwood, Sable and the Marauder were discontinued, some models only being offered for 3 model years.
Once Ford killed the CV and the GMQ in 2011, Mercury's time was over. To that end, one level of the Lincoln Town Car was no longer offered to private buyers, reserved only for fleet use.
Ford no longer wants to be in the car business beyond the Mustang but, like the Volkswagen Type 1, likely could have continued CV production in Mexico specifically for it's most successful market, Police and Taxi sales.
Ask any cop wedged into a Taurus( also,now discontinued), Ford or Chevy SUV, Charger, Impala what he or she misses in a vehicle EVERY ONE I've ever talked to says they miss their CV and that whatever they're driving now is not as good as the big Ford sedans.
One cop I know had a choice of
A. a brand new Charger, or
B. Stay in a 200K miles CV with a modest pay increase.
He chose the CV. Not because of the money. It was all about the car.
He has since retired.
He still misses that car ...............
Not many departments have these but a lot of inner city places use them because they're so indestructible
The Crown Victoria is a great all around vehicle. The current Vic that I drive is number 8 for me. Nice review but unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation here.
My baby has 241,000 and gets up to 100 in a snap! Bought her for $1800 5 years ago and dam Oreo's rule. Best car i have ever owned hands down.
It's nice to see young men (well I assume the author of the video is younger than me?-- maybe a millennial maybe younger?... I can't really tell... it's not that important) who appreciate traditional RWD body on frame large American sedans; and not just the 70+ year old set that remembers these in the 50's and 60's.
Though I have seen an interesting trend as of late: Older people in their 70's embracing the Toyota Prius, Nissan Leaf, and Chevy Spark... while it's the younger folk finding solace in the larger cars of yesteryear. What an ironic flipping of the boat (so to speak)… but I'm happy to see it, and I'll take it for what it is. In a world where 20 and 30-something city hipsters cast an angry glare at older cars that are "wrecking the planet" (those are their words... not mine); it is refreshing to see other youngsters taking the opposite stand.
Good! We need people like that... and lots of them where we can find them. I salute you.
Was 1997 ->>> 1998 the change cusp where the Crown Vic went from the elongated horizontal taillights, to the cat ear taillights? I like the cat ear look much better. And the grille better too.
Only bad thing is that the intake manifold cracks on CVPI’s and are expensive to repair. Unfortunately they were made of plastic. Other than that they are a beast. Owner 2005 CVPI 197,000 on her.
92" to 2011' you misrepresent the fact's.i have a 97' police intercept er.
Robert Vincent noice
i currently have a nice impala but i would like to buy one of these crown vics for my next car after watching your video. sounds like a high quality car. whats the gas mileage it gets?
I thought your info was ok. There's still a lot of the "Cop Cars" info you're lacking. For instance, certain year and following it had certain things about them. Cluster, manual throttle, shocks, kevlar doors, trauma plate for both driver and passenger, just to name a few. Also crown vics been around since the 50's and of course, the Ford LTD. You're sound so you would know anything about that. Yes, there was the Mercury Marauder with 300 or so horse power, P71, P72 and the B version those were 250 horse power and the Crown Victoria Lx Sport was 239 horse power which very similar from the Marauder for it does have the center console floor shifter. However, the Crown Vic Lx would not have it for it must be the Sport package with the spoiler, leather seat along with other goodies. Until then...
Too bad we're seeing no new Crown Vic's, I see a lot of Police using SUV's more now. You probably could soup your Crown Vic up some, maybe a belt-driven supercharger. I had a former police interceptor, a 1970 Ford Custom 500 police interceptor with a 428 cobra jet engine, this car was used in Maine then in the 70's.
I love it but I am not sure I want people to think I am a cop. They may have unrealistic expectations of me.
Who cares what other people think. Get one if you like it
People see how you’re dressed, they’ll know you’re not. I drive mine in a pair of crappy sweatpants, a teeshirt, and a baseball cap on backwards- clearly no one is fooled in any way shape or form.
