I love how these former cop cars are now driven by hooligans who drift around and do burnouts on the street...

especially when they have the interceptor v8, oh my god. CURSE YOU FUEL ECONOMY!! to clarify, interceptor is more economical than most V8's so you can dick around for longer.
Iron Griffon there's no difference between the civilian V8 and interceptor v8. it actually get worse MPG because of the 3.55 gears instead of 2.73 or 3.27
TheSamplebridge Only difference in civilian vs interceptor is the brakes are beefier it changes gears slightly quicker,and the suspension is somewhat better,but you're pretty much right on that tho.lol
Also there are power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and oil coolers. But there is no "cop chip" like many people believe.
Imagine a Crown Vic getting pulled over by a Crown Vic.
NorthAmerican Auto Happened to me plenty of times 😂😂😂
NorthAmerican Auto Yeah when I first got it I had no plates so yeah, lots of Crown Vics Pulled me over
100st like
I've gotten pulled over by my town's local Impala and an unmarked State Patrol FPIU. No Crown Vic yet surprisingly.
NorthAmerican Auto it happened to me in central Illinois

900$ for a Rear wheel drive car with a V8? KOWALSKI, ANALYSIS
"We've done it!" *JDM cars are no more!*
Honestly speaking, it depends on where you live, in my country (Eastern Europe) the price is relatively higher (5k $) compared to the price in the video
@Fmono • 38 years ago • Updated I know, I'm just complaining :D
Sometimes they need working on but run as beaters unless ya luck out they do make great dailys.
It appears to be a reliable rear-wheel drive V8 4 door car with an impressive suspension and body on frame construction Skipper.
When my dad first moved to the US, he became a Chicago cab driver. Back then, the cab companies would buy retired police cars and convert them into taxi cabs. If they survived 3-5 years as a taxi, they would auction them off for dirt cheap prices to the drivers. That's how my dad bought our first family car, a 1984 chevy caprice. That car was an absolute beast... and we drove it past 370,000 miles with nothing more than routine maintenance... they certainly don't make cars like that anymore
Jermain Jones
They DO make cars like that, just that they're called Hondas and Toyotas nowadays.
Dab God My Accord just hit 265k without any major issues
+Dab God my 2001 Camry has 400,000 miles with original engine and transmission.
+Dab God other cars hit a million miles also. Everything else besides a fleet car isn't 'trash'.
"Authoritative land yachts" is probably the best description of the crown vic i can think of
They have muscle but heavy, they are cheap cars that are tough though and classics now and great daily drivers.I like em.
"How did they get so few horsepower from such a big engine?"
- Jeremy Clarkson
Lancer lol my old 1981 truck has a 318 LA V8 with even less hp
I have a solid black P71 with a few mods under the hood there not as slow as you think! And if you get adeal on one and put a couple grand in them it will last a Hell of a lot longer then the new cars of today, FACT.
Especially true with the '79-'91 models with their 5.0/5.8L Windsor V8s.
Less hp per cylinder is a good recipe for reliability
the best part is,they did manage to get more hp,a lot that apparently a one:1 uses it
A friend of mine just left his in an intersection, went shopping, got McD's, and when he came back it was still there.
That's hot.
rÆkt I used to be a dick and park across 3 spaces with the windows down and still running, and not even worry about it
Thug life
AKS Do you want people to key your car? Because this is how you get people to key your car.
Well I mean they look like cop cars, so they'd prolly get keyed no matter how great the parking lol

mclightning88 i wanna say lol but i fucking hate how people drive like pussies around cops don't even do the damn sped limit grow some balls & drive pass em if your not dirty you have no problems
You can get one, check craigs list or go to police auctions or taxi compaies retieng em, they are cheap to buy.
see...im like that,... 99% of the time if im driving im smoking marijuana.. I dont live in a state where it's legal for recreational purposes... ive been questioned by cops twice for the damn smell... i slow down with purpose,..
Bought an interceptor earlier this year. First car I’ve ever bought on my own and I absolutely love it!

Yes, the first thing I thought was The Blues Brothers.

And cop motor
Just get a licence plate that says "NOT COP"
thats what mines says
it still doesn't work
LOL trey,u should make videos on daily living with your car
FastCarsNoRules220 there is a dude in Ontario Canada with that I think on his crown Vic
That's exactly what an undercover cop would say
check the IG _camefromdetroit. my youtube sucks
"Car's got a lot of pickup."
"It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say...?
"Fix the cigarette lighter."
Yeah Blues Brothers :D
logandarklighter I came here for this comment. Thanks for making my day.
"regular gas" what, catalytic converters run on regular gas
Regular as in it has lead in it.
We've been using Unleaded fuel for so long now that it has become the new "regular"
Taraniis yeah I did think of leaded but it haven't been "regular" for many many years
I have a 2000 Grand Marque and that thing is also like a tank. People ask me if I want to upgrade it and get something newer. I’m always like nope, I love this tank. It too has a trunk big enough to put people in as I have done it to sneak my friends out of school, and inside it’s like a couch on wheels. It’s the most comfortable car ever, you can even sleep in it. It’s like who needs a tent when I can just tour the state in my car pull off and sleep wherever I want. When I do upgrade I’m going to need a Suburban or something if that nature.
I have the same car as many of the unmarked police in my country... when I park it on the side of the road I leave it at a 30*, 40* angle. It's hilarious watching the speed limit being respected in a area where people usually do twice the speed limit (the fines are really low here).
Youre out here saving lives for free.
I get police discount when I drive through chick fil a with mine😂
Lol, at least your wallet isn't as dead as before.
stollin valur
Nermket you illiterate fuck
are you gonna cry? u sad bro????
Nermket why would I be?
It's a good first car. It's incredibly reinforced and very safe. But be careful, if your at fault in a two car accident, you still need to pay for the other persons car, which will probably be destroyed completely by a train like this.
Now matter which model of Crown Victoria, people will think you're a cop. Even the top luxury model Vics.

I was gonna say lmao

It was also produced in Canada
@@TheBoredDude1000 All of the late Vics are, especially the ones for US Police.
@@dcarbs2979 Yep I know. They were making them a few hours from where I live
All you have to do is speed up on people. They usually change lanes either to see if you're following them, or because they want you to go away. I know. I did it in a black Dodge Charger I was test driving for my job. For me the highway parted like the sea. That was a fun day.
80%AshamedOfYou that's gotta be the best feeling in the world lol
Spectacular66 I'm not gonna lie. That power went to my head. Haha
RavenPrecept at least in europe people supposed to keep the left lane clear, speed limit or not. Or move da fuck over if someone wants to go faster. It's none of your business if someone wants to go faster, his wife might be giving birth on the back seat or just bleeding. Not the best thing to do, I know, but you are not the one to decide or judge.
I'd get some interior lights and truly fuck with people😂😂
80%AshamedOfYou ohhhhh that is why everyone moves out of my way when I am going down the highway. 😂
So nobody is gonna talk about that 900$ price tag... when cars are cheaper than phones smh
Well the car he brought might of still has puke/shit stains in the back seat. Which does bring resale value of a car down quite alot. Because most people who get arrested and thrown in the backseat puke/shit/piss in the backseats alot. So yeahhhhhhh.....
Most of the back is plastic, you just get a hose and soap and rinse the car down
Well you're buying a car from the bottom of the barrel. if you were to do that with a phone (not a galaxy S8, that's a bently) you'd pay maybe 40 bucks. And that's new.
All the cop cars here in Germany are 2019 Mercedes 😭
We have 2017 BMW's here in nrw
Lol we got lambo
Denis S Norge gang
Im sorry.
If you are bored of this car give it to us
Cheaper than iphone X
I had one one time and when I broke the transmission seal due to accidental abuse, stopped in a small town gas station and got on the cb to ask about a mechanic.The clerk saw the car and asked if I was a cop,I said NO.When i exited the store I was surrounded by real cops and they gave me the third degree,searched my car and asked me why I had a cop car with all the accessories.I told them I bought it that way and they said I was lying.They eventually let me go but damn they weren't happy about it.
Idk how anyone can look at a crown Vick and say "that's the car I want" but for $900 I can't really argue the value
Last of the low slung, simple looking sedans. Doesn't have all these crazy body lines and isn't trying to look super aggressive like every modern car.
I love the looks because of how simple they are while still having class and little style flairs here and there like the little duck tail on the trunk.
Aye. Too many *GRR ANGRY HEADLIGHTS* these days.
Buy one cheap, get a salvage Town Car, and swap interiors and suspension if it's not damaged. Now you have a luxury car and a beater for about 6 grand.
"If you live anywhere in America you know the fear associated with seeing one of these 'authoritated' land yachts floating down the road" shows cop car in Ontario, CANADA.
You do realize Canada is part of America, right?
@@jakekaywell5972 In the USA, Ford Explorers, Chevy Tahoes, and Dodge Chargers are more common as police cars than the Crown Vic. There's still in service Crown Victorias left. It's not uncommon to see a police Chevy Tahoe in Texas because the 9C1 Tahoes are manufactured in North Texas and Texans love trucks even though they don't need one. Canada is not part of America but it's still in North America.
@@atx-cvpi_99 pretty much the same cop cars are present in Canada as in the USA. The car markets between the two nations are nearly identical, so it makes sense for the police in the two countries to use almost all the same cars (mostly Explorers and Chargers, with the occasional older Crown Victorias and Impalas, at least in Montreal)
There might be a reason for that. The US police cars (Crown Vics) are all built in Ontario. After the retail market died around 2005, it was a massive tax deduction for fleets to buy them from Canada instead of USA. They are literally the same car.
U forgot how tough and reliable the body on frame makes it
this video just makes me want to have an old cop car
I own a p73 crown vic. Police car..fleet vehicle.
I owned two. A well used and abused 1998 city unit that smelled of puke, and a 2001 unit from a small town that was lovingly cared for. AMA.
Have you experienced the "They think you are a cop" effect as well?
// DdariQ // I had the rolling road block effect when my car had a temp tag in the window
// DdariQ // I was once hailed, thinking I was a taxi. Many times I would be stuck behind someone going 55 in a 55 in the left lane... more often in my white '98. The red '01 got less attention.
***** Never. Tried to join the Air Force but had health problems. Same with the National Guard. Got into the automotive business instead.
CJ DASHCAM Yeah definetely thought a different color would make it obvious that you are not a cop. But that taxi accident hahaha. You had a cage between the seats too? Removed?
I have owned 6 of them and the oldest one was a 1991 Ltd 5.0 CVPI and I loved very one of them. I love the feeling of everything about these cars.
in Saudi Arabia people fear this car
Really

Well shot, well written and well edited... great future in news/magazine video stories.
I had the best time in my crown vic. Smoked weed on the highways, everyone moves out of the way, no overly aggressive drivers tailgating, drove it two solid years without spending a dime on maintenance( 120000 kilometers with no oil changes. Bought mine for 800 Canadian. Then it died. I sold as scrap for 250. So yeah, basically paid 550 dollars for a car that I stomped all over for two years. I'd do it again.
Driving through laneways was always fun at night, scaring teens smoking pot.
Joshua Stien douche bag. you financially poor low class citizen.
+thomas heny lol
You drove 120000kms in two years?... wow. That's an average of 5000 a month. 1200 a week... if you had been doing oil changes, it would have cost you a small fortune.
Can you still buy these if so, how?
This was actually more entertaining then I expected! It would be funny as hell to own one
Its not to funny as it is badass, the whole them driving 5miles seeing this was funny at first but it gets old
You don't want body roll? Put bigger anti-roll bars on it. Cheap, easy fix. You want the trans to shift better? Stall converter, shift kit and a computer retune. And you might want to remember that 4000lbs is what pretty much every other car on the road weighs, give or take two to four hundred.
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
Can the rear doors be opened from the inside?
Haha, I hope they don't. I'll lock my friends up and take them for a terror cruise.
Never heard of child lock ? Most car have chid lock.
Simon Lusignan Laplante Never been in the back of a police car? You can't get out from the inside. That's why I asked the question.
Saddle Sore yeah just like when you open the back door of a csr and put child lock to the " on " position
On the police cars the rear handles are not connected. You have to reconnect them if you want them to work.
How to upset the most amount of people for the least money! Drive an ex cop car like a hooligan!
thedownshiftchannel nah there cool cars unless ur a dumbass who impersonates police
Well that’s another car I’ll add to the list of first cars I’m looking for.
When you're roaring down the middle of the street everyone sees you in their mirrors and traffic opens up for you. Flicker the brights xD
Actually, some states it's legal, as long as you don't use them illegally.
ignasviplol1 >>> When he said flicker the brights, he obviously meant the damn high beam headlights. Where the hell did you get police lights out of anything the man said?
What is it with people shitting themselves at anything that even resembles a cop car. It's almost dangerous they'll spike the brakes right in front of you...and nobody is doing more than 5mph over...come on peeps get it together.

I drive a 99 crown vic lx everyday. Put a P71 computer in it and I've never had so much fun messing with people on the road. On the highway if i turn my headlights on everyone thinks im a cop. I've even had multiple BMW"s get out of the left lane and let me pass. They even used their turn signals.
One thing left out is gas mileage which is 18 city to 25 highway. So it's compared to a minivan/standard SUV...but keep in mind it IS a heavy car. After owning one for a year and a half, she definitely is a GOOD CAR. Repairs are cheap, parts are everywhere and it will last you a while when you take care of them.
If you want more luxury you can get a mercury grand marquis that is basically just a higher trim level of the Vic
don't forget the rugged suspension made for jumping curbs, too.
I've been pulled over in my Crown Vic a couple times, the cops usually love talking about the car. But maybe its cause im white.
Did they ticket you though?
Elijah L It's not because your lacking meloniod, it's just pity for stupidity.
WTF I've got an 01 Crown Vic been running 15-20 over the speed limit and the Illinois State Troopers don't look twice.
ILLINOIS TROOPERS?! Wtf?! They always pull me over for doing 5 over or even less. Probably because I'm a Cardinals fan though...
You drive a Crown Vic?
Several years ago, I bought an ex highway patrol rig. It was a 79 mercury with a 428. It could make it look like you were smiling even when you weren't. On a long drive, it felt like you were driving your recliner. If traffic got heavy and wouldn't move over, I could release the whip antenna from the rain gutter and talk into my fist. Clear road ahead. I drove through a small town doing about twice the limit. Two Leo's were standing beside the road talking. My pucker factor ratcheted up until they waved at me.
I own my former Sheriffs car, its a 1996 Bronco. Whens the last time anyones seen a LE Bronco eh? Also I put a Whelen 9M with a Full LED setup, including takedowns, alleys, rear highmount center brake light, and selectable amber, or Red/Blue cruise lights. It also has a cattlegaurd, one 6", and one 4" Chrome unity spotlight, reflective striping, in blue 'course, front and rear wig-wags, and a 200w Whelen PA/siren with 2 Federal Dynamax speakers. The Bronco has a 95% LED conversion done, excluding the ABS, Battery, and Airbag indicator lights due to the LED strobing on the ABS all the time, and the others constantly being on. It has XLT options, cassette deck, paneled doors, power windows, tachometer, powersteering, bucket seats(not a bench), large center console, manual tcase with the E40D, mounted to the 5.8L with no Rev limiter. Not sure why that is, but I dont care. I also have 33" mud tires on 15x10 rims, and a set of 30x9.5 pursuit tires on ford 15x7 stamped rims. It goes so fast that speedometer waves at me when I go over 89mph. Idont actually know how fast cause my spedo only does 89, Its annoying.
It's edging on 6 years now since the last Crown Victoria was built, and they are pretty much all but relegated here in NJ to construction zone babysitting - That is, if any are still in a departments fleet. Besides the occasional state police vehicle, these are all but out of service now here, and probably the same can be said elsewhere in Canada and the U.S... So if anyone really thinks any one of these they see are driven by a police officer from 2017 onward, they need a reality check. These will be classic cars. They were THE LAST body on frame passenger car produced, with a 4.6l v8 and solid rear end, the kind of thing you only find on a pickup truck or SUV these days.
I've owned two of them which have been my 'daily's' for the better part of 10 years now that I've had a licence. With just some minimal mechanical knowledge and enough curiosity coupled with ownership of some screwdrivers and a ratchet set, anyone can mess around with these cars. There is not fear in working on them, because the paint isn't perfect and there is plenty of space under the hood without bumping into any fragile wiring or electronics.
Gas mileage? No. cheap? Yes. I'd rather buy a car for around 2k and tinker with it here and there, getting meh gas mileage, then pay hundreds of dollars every month for some Bluetooth connected, backup camera, electronic dipstick, piece of crap. The struts and rear shocks are the same found on the defunct Ford Econoline Van for goodness sakes. Give me the Ford any day. It's the closest thing to owning a pickup truck, only it has the general shape of a car.
And yeah, the floors plastic, and it has holes cut in it, and the roof probably has holes cut in it too that were filled with caulking glue... maybe they leak a little. And the older examples have no tach, and the odometer is analog... and the white ones have paint problems, and the wheels get premature surface rust, and there's interior rattle sounds... panels which don't line up, you take the spotlights out and cover the holes up and there's wind noise, the door panels have little or no sound insulation and your passengers always think someones door is cracked open. And the transmission is 'slow', and the ignition coils are temperamental, second gear is shitty, and the head unit is affectionately called 'Play Skool Radio' by my friends, the backseat also affectionately known as 'School Bus Seat'... I don't have to care, I can be rough with it and not worry about it. I can watch a soccer mom fling her door open and bang into my car, while I'm sitting in it and we can both stare at each other for a moment and I'll flash a disappointed smile and not do anything about it. I won't cry if it rains and the windows are left open. I won't be sad if someone rear ends me and there is a scuff on the 80 dollar, 1 piece, plastic bumper cover. Doors dented in, and I buy another at a junkyard for $42.00 and swap it out in half an hour. All the front lamps can be bought for 70 bucks on eBay when I inevitably lose traction again and slide off a highway entrance ramp at 10mph into a old tree stump and break a corner-lamp.
And these are just some more reasons I love this car.
Replying to your first paragraph just 3 weeks ago I saw a RCMP crown Vic in downtown Ottawa
couldn't agree more.
Lots of police departments still operate Crown Vics
Most of the police departments in western and central MA still have fleets made up primarily of crown vics
Kansas City Missouri has several crown vics still in operation. Mostly what you'll see driving through.
Buy an Intercertor and do the Chris Fix's interceptor project.
yes
I was thinking about that too!
and after all that the guy sold it and wasnt even a cop
Donald Tavares it's a federal crime to have a car that is impersonating a police car...
Michaelc136 Everyone knows after watching the movie "Let's be cops" 😁😁😁
2:03 this vid was taken where I live lol
Where is it? Looks familliar to me
I have the 9C1 impalla, still has a spot light and the push bar on it. It feels nice that most will move out of ur way sine they don't want you tail gating them.
I Own a Crown Vic police Interceptor as well, and I can confirm that all of this is true. While lacking in many fields,
This is the most reliable car I have had. And yes, people will drive so slow and make faces when they find out you arent a cop.
GenuinelyJake it's totally worth it like a friend of mine owns one but it's all black so it looks like an undercover. Back when he first got it in high school we'd ride around and fuck with people and go to under ground car meets and they'd be so pissed off
I got a cop car. It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
Also, in the second blues brothers movie (that terrible one) there is actually a scene with a tiny bedroom in the back of a Crown vic cop car
spacegarnaal don't forget your brother threw out the cigarette lighter.
We got lots and lots of #CVPI still n service here n South Florida mainly the Broward county area
I have driven crown vics as taxicabs. You have just reignited my love for the guise of authority.
Great video, I honestly wasn't expecting such a comprehensive review.

only there was a clip of the crown vic drifting on an on ramp in the video
when you realize you got a budget drift car
Bought my 2006 P71 in May 2018, it's the 9th vehicle I've ever owned... to this day, it's still the best one.
I love my P71, it is cheap, safe, reliable and fun to drive. The gas mileage is actually pretty incredible for it's size and weight. The steering is good and it is surprisingly nimble.
Crown Vic.... a legend in its own right. Still love them.
Black people own old cop cars, they want to feel nostalgic lol
***** But it's true
The Weeaboo is strong in you.
they want to feel how its like to be in the front of a vic lol
corny
LOL I lost it...
I just bought a town car and I love it, only $2000 and it has the Ridgidity and reliability of the crown Vic while having a lot more creature comforts
I had a 1980 two toned(brown & burgundy) caprice classic unmarked. Just like Dan Aykroyd said, cop shocks, cop brakes, cop acceleration. Oh yeah, oversized radiator, transmission fluid radiator, back up gas tank, gun rack in the trunk, 2 batteries, 2 bulletholes and countless cigarette burns! I bought that car in 1991, w/ out a doubt the best car I ever owned.
mine is a 1998 got 339k + miles and still going strong
crown vic 4ever
SolidSnake hell yeah that is sick i got a 2009 crown and it only gots 190k on it, hell of miles left i can dump on it
the horse at 1:36 lol.
haha
+1 horsepower

My dad used to have a non cop-spec '01 Crown Vic that was supposedly pretty rare. He drove it with the utmost care and for the entire time he owned it, it was pristine. A few dents here and there, and a gouged rear bumper, but aside from that he kept it spotless.
....Right up until some bitch in a Camry plowed into the back of it at 50mph because she wouldn't look up from her phone.
that sucks man.
Had a 94 9c1 Caprice Sheriffs car. Thing was a beast. I miss it....
One time I was high(weed) in the parking lot at night and someone drove this close to the car I was in. My friend who was more high than me.. Literally freaked the Fuck out. He literally said, "OK boys we're fucked, try to calm down cause we're going to be arrested" . He sat there literally saying I'm never doing this again. I was also freaked but eventually I realized... OK if that was a cop why didn't he just arrest us then and there. Why did he like drive away. Since the "cop" drove away. We laughed then when we were sober went home lol... Fun and scary night.
lol
Unnatural09 damn that sounds so similar lol same shit happened to us
Unnatural09 damn that sounds so similar lol same shit happened to us
driftspeed lol I hate it when people drive these cars.
Unnatural09 I like how at the end of the comment you said when we were sober we drove home.... Your were sober were ya? LOL.
All i heard was 4.6 liter v8 rwd with a lsd :)
Too bad you didnt hear the 2 tons of weight :)
weight reduction bro
WillyWanker and the snail 4-speed automatic transmission...
The Crown Victoria Police Interceptor will be my first car.
I want u to answer my comment when u first upload Ur Video. Im looking forward to seeing ur crown vic. I subbed.
Can confirm being able to live in it. I lived in a Grand Marquis (same car, just plushier) for a couple years. Holds all your belongings, full set of shop tools, and still has tons of room to sleep in the back seat. The trunk is best described as 'cavernous' and the thing is a bonafide land yacht to the extreme.
I only get 2 more years with my crown Vic before I have to move to a Taurus SHO police intercepter but I'm gonna try to buy my crown Vic at the auction
Donald Trump 2K16 cops get the SHO trim? That's awesome
Only the ecoboost motor, which is pretty rare, most departments just go with the standard V6.
ShockAndAwe417 I thought the SHO has a turbo V6
ShockAndAwe417 most of the time it's the 3.7 V6 out of the mustang or the 3.5 twin turbo either way there supposed to make my job a lot easier
Lenivy Gamer yeah my city always buys all the newest cars as soon as they're available. We have nothing but new Taurus', explorers and Tahoe's.
There a UA-cam video of someone from Canada did a restomod on a 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis. It has a frame off of an 07 Crown Vic with upgraded brakes, rear axle, and suspension, Mercury Marauder wheels, LED lighting, Mercury Marauder carpeting, S197 Mustang seats, a 96 Mercury Grand Marquis dash, and a 5.4L DOHC 32V V8 out of a Lincoln Navigator with 03 Cobra cylinder heads, 96-98 Cobra camshafts, an Aussie Boss 290 Intake manifold and stock Marauder air intake along with a Fox body mustang's 80mm throttle body along with long tube headers and free flowing dual exhaust. The horsepower total was 341 HP and 351 Ibs of torque and man it sounds like a beast. I mean when you start it up roars to life so wonderfully it just want to make you smile.
Just love the engine sound of it!!
my mom has an old crown vic police interceptor that she got for 1800 bucks. one of my personal favorite cars and also one the comfiest too. She was also able to fit 55 inch tv in the back with no issues so yeah its pretty for groceries
The Dodge Charger is the new Crown Vic
SGKatrox not really the explorer!
So is the Taurus
SGKatrox lmao yuuuup next they gone start putting 26's on them to
ummmmm... not really....
the new Crown Vic is the Taurus
CUPS
I traded my Merc marauder in a few years ago. I miss it ever day. Long live the panther platform!
A classic.
@@tmr8193 a classic car aint gargage gtfo outa here.
I used to loathe the sight and idea of Crown Vics, but somehow in recent years, I've actually thought about wanting to buy one of these things used and attempt to fix it up and make something nice out of it, if that's even possible. The six cup holder bit had me sold; I'd be making runs to Taco Bell like it was goin' out of style!!
I've owned a P71 for nearly 6 years and I have not once been mistaken for a cop. The trick is to get one that doesn't LOOK like a cop car. Mine doesn't have a push bar or spotlight, and it's a different color than the cop cars in my area.
I fucking miss mine. When it rained I used to throw on some eurobeat (Initial D music) and just slide sideways around every highway offramp I could find.
STICH666 You have to be joking!
Yeah right.😒
Ironic how a cop car can be an illegal drift car

@Fmono • 38 years ago • Updated So? Many people have more authority than other people...
A black or deep blue crown victoria makes people upset haha
Felipe Hagai lol mine still had a white roof and black color around it, i was tailgating this one guy than i went around him and his face was funny, he was scared shitless
@@kyleornelas3259 LMAO
Dont forget silver.... , ive seen UC rolling Maroon as well as rootbeer brown.
I have an 03 LX. I like the fact that it get's about the same gas mileage(on hwy) as my 06 Taurus (bought new in 2006). The starter, alternator and AC pump all died in the first 100k. The Vic at 275k is now asking for electrical module replacement. Up to now only regular maintenance. I feel I should hoard a few for parts lol.
The Ford Crown Victoria is a excellent police car and a good yellow taxi cab.
Coming soon: BMW 2002 "X2" - can't wait to see that!
It's so freaking good! I think you'll like the explosion at the end ;)
That came unexpected! Keep up the good work, I've been watching this channel for years now! :)
As someone who drives a Marquis, I wish I had the cupholders of the P71...
The Marquis has two.
Up front.
Car seats six.
Has two outlets, one between the cup holders, one under the passenger side dash.
But still only two cup holders....
One of the most beautiful cars ever made. So simple, but reliable with presence and personality. The fact that has almost nothing inside makes it even more interesting to me.
