It sucks that this has to even be said.
Hi Scotty, does roof heat insulation work for heat rejection? I heard that it also helps in sound deadening. Does it really trap moisture?
Tim from the Philippines :)
I'm really getting worked up about not getting notifications when you're on Scotty ! I'm getting notifications after the fact !!! ( By the way ) love that Rodent Repellant ) made my day ! I need to carry some with me in the back of my Van !
You need to replace Donald Trump ! 😍
What's wrong with his voice? Try listening to old recordings of NYC Mayor Laguardia circa 1930s, or the real Gen. Patton. Now if you want to talk about regional accents, that's a different thing.
I honestly thought that paint was stock and you're telling me it's all Walmart rattlecans.... very impressed.
Now I own a white one myself and need to respray lol
Ford "Performance White" is basically the same quality as Walmart rattlecans. (i have an 08 police interceptor). almost every one i see on the road has paint peeling and chipping in the same places. i dont know why. if i had to guess, its that they use less overcoat (if any at all) to make it easier to remove the police decals before they get sent to auction. the end result is a sort of semi-gloss white that isnt hard to reproduce on a budget.
@Tesco worker Lewis he's right tho
*driving to walmart to buy fridge white*
@1:37 you can see the overspray on the rubber seal, but except for the details, it looks great
Impressive job with rattlecan! That takes some skill.
I can tell he's proud of his car, and good on him for it. It's a pretty cool ride.
True,, he should be, I miss mine, left it in Bahrain when I moved here to channel Islands, I wish someway I can get a good deal to bring her here, the shipping was crazy expensive (6k USD) though there are no import duties here
@@7346908 it's sold or not?
I'm surprised it has rear cloth upholstery.
Primarily here in Pennsylvania they either have vinyl upholstery or the hardshell rear seat cover due to bodily fluids.
@@roya.cathcartjr.5042 I have a cloth back seat in my 2009 P71. It was a former supervisor unit.
@@bluv6430 Supervisor, Chiefs Duty and Watch Officers here in my area of Pennsylvania have cloth upholstered seats and no partician between the front and rear seats as they don't transport subjects in custody.
Now the majority of radio units have hard shell enclosed covers over the rear seats to eliminate seems and crevices that subjects in custody may try to hide contraband in.
I was a police officer and in spite of pat downs some contraband can be missed especially in underwear and body cavities, the subjects who have been arrested before become wise and hide their hidden items they don't want found on them down between the bench and seat back and unless you sweep inside the seats after every transport you don't know which subjects had it in their possession at the end of your shift.
Plus if they vomit or urinate the fluids can't get under the seats with the enclosure covering it.
He could make a fortune painting cars with spray cans.
Hell he should open his own paint and body shop with those skills! Call it "The RattleCan Special paint and body"😂 I know I'd definitely go get my Vic done up by him haha
I'm not a car guy. I have no idea why UA-cam recommended this to me. But this guy's enthusiasm is unbelievably contagious. I'm so amped for these mods.
Its so neat to see my car on this channel.
As a fellow Vic owner, (2008 ex-Hertz rental), I understand your attachment to the car. But I'm sitting here in Canada looking out the window at mine wishing I could put some fine wheels on it - only - my next task is to dig out and mount my snow tires. Sigh....
@@Alex_Mitchell I thought about keeping my steelies for that reason.
The tribute to your grandpa is awesome!! Beautiful car too...I have friends that live in TN...near Dollywood...beautiful up there..
What kind of gas mileage do you get
The paint job looks great, hard to believe it was spray paint considering how well it came out! A great job done on the P71, have been thinking about getting a P71 myself a really understated car, and a great tribute to your grandpa!
Spray paint?? Really?? This guy should post video on how to spray paint your car
you are right, dang, it looked like it was done with a spray gun in a booth, imagine if this guy worked in a body shop?
Johnny Lee you mean "spway paint"?
pugsforever banned lol
2K or 2 pack paint. With built in hardening catalyst.
BPAesthetics 😂
Everyone’s talking about the paint job and y’all ignore how clean my man’s engine is. Beautiful.
I love this guy's voice and accent. He sounds like an always happy dude.
Gween
He sounds like he shoots people like game. No disrespect to the man. But pop culture has for ever made a stereotype about deep southerners. After Deliverance, I'm taking no chances.
Smirkish Tuscadero taking no chances with southerners?? THATS very close minded lol
His voice is better the those Indian accent
Sounds like an oklahoman too me they always have these cars
I love that he honors his grandpa by having his picture with what looks like an article about him . Every time he retrieves or stores his book bag he see's Grandpa...so incredibly sweet & warms my heart. Good job on the car and good luck with school too!
It is likely his gramps obituary......
That’s probably the best spray-paint job I’ve ever seen
Half way through this video and I still can't get over his spray paint job. Awesome job my dude!
Really? Walmart spray paint? That's wild
While it looks good now, I imagine it'll fade quicker than a quality automotive paint. Looks at least from video, that it was prepped well and there isn't much dust on it.
It looks better than I would have expected but yeah you can already see it wearing on the rear by the bottom corners of the rear window. Getting a car painted properly is expensive for a reason.
@@SonicOrbStudios This is how it looks 1.5years after spray painting it.
Yeah, he's absolute mad lad.
@@bruceschneier6283 It didnt fade i over sanded as it was my first time wetsanding.
God bless him for honoring his Grandpa. Beautiful, brother!
Crown vic, marquis, town car, are the best V8 cars ford ever came up with in my opinion, and im a chevy guy!!
Isaac Sanchez MARK 8!
@JUST CALL ME WEBB must not know too many people. I know too many that love them.
+JUST CALL ME WEBB Town Cars were made on the same chassis as the Vic and Marquis. The only differences were trim and some slight interior detail.
@JUST CALL ME WEBB im a GM guy ive just owned 2 lincoln town cars theyre awesome
+JUST CALL ME WEBB I get it, and personally all of their new line up is a load of trash except for the exploder and the f150, but a crown vic or a town car could easily hit 500k miles if taken care of. They're just good, bulletproof, and cheap cars.
He has put much love into this ride. He should be proud.
Love this car. And love this mans respect for his grandfather.
I laughed a little when I saw his grandpappy's photo but then realized I'd probably have done the same thing. It's really sweet
Agreed. 100%. I wish that I still had a grandfather around today, I've lost both, and miss them to pieces. They were both WWII fighting badasses, and the most incredible human beings that I have ever met. They've passed on both their manners, respect, and work ethic onto myself, and in doing so, to my own son, even though they never had the chance to meet him. History is more valuable than gold, and family history is priceless.
@@jmatt781 Then he is still around today.
Cool that he has his Grandpa's car and a picture of him in the trunk.
I got my grandpa's Grand Marquis, think I ought a do some improvements to it too.
Dude, I never knew a Crown Victoria could look so good. A+ dude, paint is especially good considering it's just from Wal-Mart, no shame. I love it
My 2009 Vic is white too and just starting to get some peel spots, dammit!
As close as you can get to the Marauder without having to spend all the money. Beautiful Vic!
Vic been there done that. once I finally drove a Marauder it was worth the extra money and its performance was definitely white and more noticeable than the Crown slow revving 2 valve
His spray can paint job looks better than most professional paint jobs. He did an excellent job.
Better not call Maaco! or Miracle whip!
one thing i dont like is a lie. Bro u go let him paint your car and let the world see it
@@truegrizzlesfan2292 Dude I would gladly let him paint my car, you can't see how good that paint job looks? It looks like he did that with a real paint booth. You can't appreciate somebody else's talent?
I was just about to say the same thing
Seems like a nice guy, with the photo of his grandfather in the trunk. I’d love one of these as a fun car.
We had one a few years ago, we had a lot of fun with it, we made it into a updated Mayberry squad car even drove it to Mt Airy, and stayed at the Mayberry motor Inn. The only problem I had with it was how pokey people would drive when I came up behind them.
Dude, this guy loves his car. I can get behind that. I'm happy about how happy he is. Great job man.
He sound like Wade from GTA V
Bro you'll get banned
Dude thats messed up
dudddddeee thats exactly what i was thinking
lmao right you got me fucked up with that ahahaha
More like the nerd with glasses from robot chicken
ford was stupid to stop these....they are practically indestructible
That is why they stopped making them, cheezy cars mean more profit.
everything in the golden age of vehicles (late 80s, 90s, some early 2000s) was engineered to last a long time
today, everything is made to make the manufacture a return profit. by whatever means necessary aka cost cutting of mass production.
a google user yea.
That's why! No planned obsolescence there!!
They stopped making them because they were turds lucky if they had 200 ponies The new Taurus blows it away with awd over 400 ponies.
Dude you did an EXCELLENT job! Thanks for setting the tone Scotty.
i love the message on the roof! FREEDOM ISN'T FREE! NICE JOB WITH SPRAY CANS .CLEAN CAR.
Best car ever made. Reliable, fast and smooth on the interstate. You can run 80-120 mph all day long on the interstate. Also very easy to maintain.
Ahhh im a die hard chevy fan best there is..but these were some great cars i have thu up most respect for the maurader but if you do a little research caprice was one of the best "police" cars ever.... Just my two cents
@@aaronmeredith5243 you're right- the 5.7 9c1 is probably one of the most sought after fleet cars of the modern era.
Those impalas? No. ...
Chevy could have done better by keeping the caprices and impalas full size rwd sedans. There's something to be said about a car with a steel frame.
Now. If Toyota would put those 356ci engines it has in the trucks in a camry, id be all over it!
@@SGobuck Amen preach it brotha
And that's after it has been run as a cop car for about 7 years.
yup
I have a 2002 Grand Marquis LS. Best car that I've ever owned, and its barely broken in with 110,000 miles. The nice part is no car payments.
Im looking for one
I'm a big fan of the panther platform. But NOTHING beats no payments and a reliable ride.
yeah, but you drive a grand marquis, lol. I drive a 2014 car, that I paid off lol. No car payments because I work hard..
@@drummergeorge9642 You probably also have less liquid assets. Paying off a new car every few years is the best way to stay broke. It's always the people that care the most about what other people think that have the least money.
Cars are not a good investment they devalue immediately as you leave the lot. The best way to build wealth is to buy cars only as you need them and keep them running as long as possible.
That way you can keep that car note payment in your bank account or your savings. The guy with the small Mercedes and the big head is the guy with the tiny bank account.
@@manrightchea Yes, I bought it new when I was 18! Ouch. I learned not to buy new cars, and my next whip will be a 2015 Seinna LE CPO! B)
Don’t listen to the haters buddy great job great car 👍
I love my p71 Vic. I bought it on eBay. It’s a retired Los Angeles FBI car. 91,000 miles. It’s just a baby! Proper maintenance and it will last 500,000 miles. Mine is dark blue. Looks like you would think a fed car would
SAP package?
I DIG this car! It looks great and seems like it would be a fun car to drive. I like how he paid homage to his grandpa. Nice touch. Well done!
Please do not make fun of his voice .. I don't think any of you will shoot a clip like this if you have the same voice .. He is brave and I respect it .. I liked the car man
He is from Tennessee. That is the great thing about this country. Different dialects.
Ohh come on.....IT LOW HANGING FRUIT!...*sigh* fine, I won't
Ahmad Ali - as of the time of this comment, you are the only one who has brought that up. Staying quiet would have made your point better than making this comment did.
well. I did get a kick out of the large clunk it has.
I like it. If you ever travel to southern WV, western VA, or east TN it sounds normal to me. If you go south of that, people actually sound less "southern" than they do in that area. (I live about 4 hours north of beckley, WV. No southern accents here, travel south 4 hours and it's as southern as you'll ever hear).
That region is just about the friendliest place you'll ever find, from there over to nashville. You come from the north, and wonder if people ask you how your day is going (people you've never met before), what's the catch? What do they want out of me? Someone strikes up a conversation like that north of the Mason Dixon line, they're usually going to ask you if you can spare some money for them in the next sentence.
clean car! great to see people take pride in their cars
W
That is the best freaking rattle-can paint job I have EVER seen! This kid has talent.
Jack's not shy about his unique inflection; he's got a great sense of humor and his channel is worth subscribing to. As a matter of fact, he did a video showing how to get the ashtray out of those Vics; I was searching UA-cam for that content and that's how I found him. Bing bang, ashtray is finally out! Thank you, and I wish continued success upon Jack and his YT channel.

Unoriginal comment
Igor Blyat he spams the same comment in every Scotty video lol
I wouldn't recommend that too much. Sometimes they could blow up if left stock and not built.
Best review I've seen on a crown vic police interceptor. Paint job looks awesome, thanks for sharing!
Love it! I miss my crown vic. Just had to sell it a month ago after it suffered from a lot of rust and the rear left axle snapped. Great video bud!
This has got to be the cleanest looking, best maintained Crown Vic I’ve seen.
My favorite car in this series yet. I've always had a soft spot for proper body on chassis, rear wheel drive V8s. Building up your gramps's car just makes it that much cooler.
"Just kidding, nothin' in that box" made me laugh out loud 😂
I love and respect this car. Nicely done! I wish I had the balls to do all that work you did. Your dad is so proud of his car and you.
Crown Vics work better when you don't take care of them.
WikiTool lol It's because they get so darn pissed!
WikiTool They thrive with neglect
So cool. Love the car, this guy is really proud of the car and it shows. Plus he knows allot about it. Scotty you've got a great channel here.
I could watch and listen to this guy talk about his car, or anything else he is compassionate about, for hours. Sounds like a genuine dude.
The mods are absolutely amazing! So much detail. I love the display he added. Center console looks neat 😎
That decal at the top made me so happy, normal people usually can’t do decals or designs well and this was a amazing job!
He did an incredible job working on that car. It was left to him, from his grandfather, who also probably had an incredibly huge love for him as well. The fact that he has the whole car so well kept, and kept as a labor of love, as well as the photo of his grandpa, and his grandpa's truck kept in the trunk door, is absolutely fantastic. It's a labor of love, as a tribute, from someone he loves. That's what being a family is all about. He's also going to college, living life, reaching for his dreams... that's a good guy right there. I've also heard that those P-71's are a lot of fun to play around with, and you can get a ton of horsepower, performance, and fun, out of those easy to work on, 4.6 V8's in that big, open engine compartment. Right on! I really enjoyed this episode!
That is a great rattle can paintjob! Did you use a clear coat? I noticed how the water was beading up on the paint like it had been waxed. Awesome ride!
@@alexsbikesandmotors stfu
After painting, you do a quick buff and wax. That will make things look better
@@Mark_Chandler believe me it is possible. I did that before. Not the easiest way but achievable...
@@alexsbikesandmotors Not cool
probably used spray can clear coat on top
So much effort and passion into this car I mean even the spray paint job is amazing, did you see those rims? This guy truly loves his car and treats it like a car should be treated. Honoring his grandpa was rly cool too just a cool touch 👍👍
HOLY COW! THIS KID IS A GENIUS WITH A RATTLE CAN. IMAGINE IF HE HAD A PROPER SHOP TO WORK WITH. I AM IMPRESSED.
What this guy can do with a can of spray paint is unbelievable. That is one awesome paint job! Kudos for respecting and taking your grandfather with you everywhere. I'm sure he would be very proud of you .
The Crown Vic is literally indestructible! The engine is bulletproof. If you can snag a p71 police interceptor, you've got yourself a great car!
Crown vics are straight v8s
@@theshield1613 yessir
Not fuel efficient but solid and fast. Overall a great buy though ;)
@@johnrickard8512 for sure!
Plastic intake manifold will fail. Electronic controls for heat vent ect tend to go bad resulting in no heat or AC. To fix, whole DB has to be removed. Constant failure of individual ignition coils going to each cylinder. Rides nice though.
It’s very sweet that you keep your Grandpa’s picture in the car. Newer cars that rely on touch/electrical-tech systems are fantastic until they give you trouble. I’m not looking to impress anyone. I just appreciate a solid built vehicle that uses mechanical controls and has a lot of room under the hood. Most of these newer cars make it nearly impossible to replace simple consumable parts like belts and such. I think they just want to discourage you from doing the work yourself so you bring it in and pay out the wazoo for labor. I really like this Crown Vic. I’m
keeping my eye out for the interceptor variant for sure.
That's a sweet crown vic. Personally don't like the color white on cars but that's great work with just spray cans. Impressive.
Love those cars, resr wheel drive, sedan big trunk. Comfortable. Add a turbo or superchaeger and you will have a sleeper not to be reckoned with. Good ol V8 power. Excellent work on the Vic.
Very cool. Thank you for sharing your car with us. I wish that Ford still made these.
That car was made for so many years, with only minor changes that they had it pretty much figured out. Easy to work on, cheap parts, reliability, comfort and not a bad looking car. The move to SUVs and trucks with almost all cars going FWD doomed the old panther. Sad.
Its a great car and i dont think it could ever be created.
If they did, I would have bought one.
Haven't heard that accent since I left Memphis in 1971 going to school at Millington Navel Air. Brought back memories there.
Awesome review! Nice job man. Please do more reviews. I’d definitely tune in. Very thorough.
Just want to say mate that your a real stand up guy. G'day from across the pond.
I’m not here to make fun of his voice, I’m here to admire a sweet build. Can’t believe that the paint job is a spray can job. Looks good. Love the American flag with the diff colors on the colors. That car is sweet.
Thomas Cowell the colors represent the police (Blue) and fire department (red). I have that on my car too.
SonnyGTA lol I know what they mean. Have a few flags for my local responders as I am a firefighter :)

That was one of the BEST personal car features I ever seen on here Scotty; Good Job Jack!
Nobody will ever steal the radio out of that car.
@@Jerry__S I'm sure they are, but nobody would expect a nice stereo in a Crown Vic.
@@Jerry__S Well that makes sense then.
Good old crown vic....can do a trans on this in under 3 hours.....cheap available parts..easy too work on...last practically forever.
I live in my and a lot of people talk like that. Lawyers, doctors, cops , every mental capacity doesn't mean he has a problem. Anyone that can pull off a paint job like that with spray paint has some serious talent and heart
love what you did, and I even like your voice, honest and sincere sounding. The pic in the trunk made me tear up. Great Job man
It's amazing to see the different things people love. The care, and love this person has put into that car is amazing.
2004 P71 owner here, mine is keepin the steelies and I'm gonna repaint it black. I love it because it's just a great car. You can't get a trunk that will fit a city and a half, a V8, RWD, and 4 doors anywhere else anymore, at least not nearly as affordable.
God bless your grandpa, dude. Good job! Thanks to Scotty for the great video.
Dude is so happy with that car, it made me happy...
That's a good paint job with can's 👍👌
WAY better than I could have done with spray cans. You can tell this young fella has the patience of a saint.
Thanks and yes It took forever. 55 hours of hand sanding to be exact
@@JNGLifestyle I painted an old truck that way, The key is to wait for days with no wind. It took many many hours of applying light coats and wet sanding/buffing. It turned out 8/10. I bet I spent 200 hours doing bodywork/masking/painting/buffing but no one could tell I did that in my driveway.
@@JNGLifestyle i refinish furniture for the last 40 years hear by chicago and i have painted cars with cans but man i was impressed with your skill at using just a spray can, awesome dude, cheers......!
@@JNGLifestyle you know, it is gonna get hot in that trunk in the sun so maybe get a glass and wood frame, 8x10, and walmart has some nice ones in real oak wood for only 4 bucks, i buy them all the time to save old photos of my mom and dad, and put the framed photo of your grandpa on the back seat or something and that way you could take it out at whim to show someone, but that trunk, the jokes go........ a real mob car, you can put a lot of bodies in that trunk.....as i have heard that about this car and that trunk.....!
I have a half brother from Louisiana I finally got to meet in person when my dad died that has that exact same voice. I can relate, so don't make fun of this guy's voice, please.
thebestofall007 so his accent is a Louisiana accent?
@@jamesgretsch4894 The person in this video is from Tennessee, as per the license plate, but both states can have similar accents. I've been through both states.
Not an accent....Rhotacism (speech impediment)
@@jokerbobcatfish7981 My half brother does have a speech impediment, from what I recall. That's why he is so quiet and another reason not to make fun of this guy.
@@jokerbobcatfish7981 There's an accent, too.
I had one just like this but I had 15 inch kicker speakers n a 3500 watt amp, my system use to shake houses no lie 💯 that was my baby 🖤
his voice sounds pretty normal to me but im from the deep south so im use to the heavy accents sweet build though the ford 4.6 is bullet proof
Little Nicky was from the deep south also.
nocturnalmayhem BULLET RESISTANT NOT BULLET PROOF IF IT WAS BULLET PROOF NO ROUND EVEN A TANK ROUND COULDNT GO THROUGH IT
@@fusioncreator7172 hahaha good one
Fusion Creator “Bullet proof” in automotive slang means that basically the engine and or transmission has been perfected or nearly perfected by design or modding. He didn’t mean that the engine was actually resistant against bullets of any type.
@@fusioncreator7172 you don't understand the meaning of bullet proof in this instance. It's about the engine buddy.
Hey Scotty could you do a video on how to properly paint a car?
I thought spray paint from an average store was flimsy but this guy seems to have found some quality paint.
EDIT: I’ve seen other paint fix videos on this channel but I’d be curious to know for example if you have to strip the original paint before repainting, painting techniques, do you need primers and wax, best types or brands of paint for car painting.
LOVE THE FLAG!!!!!! I'm generally an import guy but Crown Vics, Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Cars are virtually bulletproof and indestructible!
Nice Crown Vic dude! I just bought an 04 Crown Vic P71. I did some research and it seems that a lot of people think the 04 is the quickest and most reliable. Mine was professionally lowered 1.5 inches and has a brand new front end (tie rods, ball joints, etc). The most amazing thing about this are is the handling. It handles better than my 98 Lincoln Mark Viii or 05 hemi Dodge Magnum did. The off the line grunt is good too. If you give it too much gas it will roast the tires. It has lots of passenger and trunk room and the seats are real comfortable. I love this freaking car.
Awesome ride and is love to know how you got a spray can paint job to look that deep! Great job buddy!
This makes me miss my LTD...... excellent job sir!
I think the fuel pump shutoff is actually a reset button. I may be wrong, but I think in case of a wreck, the fuel pump will shut off and you have to push the fuel pump shutoff button to reset it and start the fuel pump working again.
You can also trip it yourself to cut fuel pressure if you're working on the motor. Like replacing injectors or switching that damn plastic intake.
I also agree.
It is a inertia switch. It is engineered to shut off in the event of sudden shock. eg; a collision. It shuts off the fuel flow.
Agreed. My truck has one of these. It’s up under the passenger side dash. In case of a collision (a violent shock) it shuts the fuel off so the engine doesn’t keep running and to prevent a fire.
Yes, and one thing that's cool is if you have an alarm installed, some have an optional normally closed relay switch that will go "open" when the alarm activates. I placed that NC switch in line with that inertia switch so that if my car was stolen (and alarm activated), it would just go a block or so since the fuel pump would be shut off and the thief would end up stalled. I figure it was easier than doing an ignition cut-off.
"Battery the size of a small Honda motor" great sense of humor!
love the panther platfrom Ford. I bought a 01 grand marquis with 85k miles for 2500 dollars from a little old lady. Car had been maintained by an independant shop who were into building race ready mustangs. The car is so smooth and gets 24 mpg hiway at 70 mph. I changed the plugs, belt, idle tension pulley and 1 tie rod end since I owned it and car now has 125k miles. Starts in 25 below zero with rear wheel drive and traction control. What a sweet cruiser. BTW...the guy in video did an awesome job painting his car with rattle cans. Most people wont even attempt to work on their own rides. Keep posting great videos Scotty Kilmer. Much respect for a guy who rides Triumph bikes. I have owned half a dozen in my life. My first was a 71 750 tiger I bought when I was 18 years old in 1980.
"The battery the size of a small Honda motor." That's funny. Probably true though.
It's not my Honda's motor is rather large and thats fine cuz it's a 4 banger that out runs supercharged V8s
I just bought a 2011 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor one of the best cars I've ever bought
I literally just bought 1 two days ago 😎🔥😎 2011 is great year
How much do they cost? And how do you find the auction?
How many miles and how many you recommend it to have if we were to buy one ?
You have to be very careful picking the car. These cars are driven all day long day after day under the worst type of driving conditions. (stop and go city traffic) They are driven hard. Unless you are ready to do the transmission like this guy did, and possibly an engine rebuild, you are in for a lot of expensive problems. They don't get rid of "good" police cars, they get rid of the ones that have too much wrong to justify the cost of repair.
Hahaa. While that would be good for tax payers, most services "retire" a car after a set number of miles or years in service. Regardless of condition. I've been in public service 12 years. I'd say depending on city/state you live in. 75% of these cars last years after service. Thus the reason most of them end up as taxis.
Not all of them get used as patrol cars. A lot sit near the courthouse and seldom get driven. Some end up as detective cars. Some have street appearance packages and aren't blacked out with spotlights on the door pillars.
You do have to watch those composite intake manifolds, but for the most part these things are figuratively bullet proof
Wrong. They get rid of all of them.
But some are definitely better than others
glasslinger they beat on them yes, but they maintain them well.
They get rid of them based on the budget allocated to the car for repairs and maintenance, if it's a 75,000 budget then for example the car can get a new transmission and new engine the year before, and be at 74,500 budget and now it needs a new radiator which would push it over the 75,000 allocated budget, and the repair would be rejected, and the cop car need to be sold immediately, say it was at 74,800 of the budget used, and it needed a new right front tire, that would push the limit of the budget for the car, causing it the need to be sold, because if the cop car was continued to be used and the tire blows out , then the city can be liable for death and damage if the cop car hits someone, because they didn't maintain the tire, and the paperwork says you must maintain the vehicle but not exceed the budget, would matter nothing that you had put a new engine and transmission theweek before, theyd sell it anyways, trust me, I'm correct
Nice crown Vic I recently drove my grandpa's Crown Vic from Ohio to Georgia. I thought I was going to hate driving it but I ended up really liking it. They're really nice comy cars for long road trips.
I've been watching your videos for two days now, I can't stop
thanks for the support!
Pretty good paint job!
Amazing!
He sounds just fine to me. Keep up with the good work
That is nice care, he did real good job at painting it and adding extras.

Sure it isn't. Cops take care that you are going to pay for it.

@potato taco 209 Bruh do you even meme?
You're vids are a great source man, keep the work up!!
I like Crown Vics, good material to build on. It's the best car for a full frame with rear wheel drive and rack and pinion steering.
Every time I see one on Craigslist for sale with no title I buy it for peanuts. I only keep the frame, suspension, and drivetrain.
What do you do with them then, John? Custom projects, I assume? Classic car bodies?
is this dude a graffiti artist? that spray paint job is better than id ever do with normal car paint
Now he can run moonshine in out of the hills.

Hell nah 😂
My 2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor uses the same battery as my 1995 Ford F150 Eddie Bauer
Ummm so?
@@leonspringsboystv2025 Bc of backwards compatibility.
@@blazemachine2257 I'm just saying that's like stating " my TV remote uses the same batteries as my flashlight. " there's only a couple handfuls of battery types in vehicles.
Those rims are so handsome. I like your tastes. I also like the center console and the aftermarket radio setup. Congrats on owning one of the last of the V8 Interceptors! Your gramps would be proud dude! Who needs an SN-95 if you could easily get 2 more doors for way cheaper and with practically the same motor, just tuned for police use and cruising, eh? God bless ya!
