Crown Vic Auction Win and Pickup Day!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- With a sense of nostalgia, I just bought what might be the last great Crown Vic left at the surplus auction. Whether you call it chocolate pudding, brown puke or just medium brown metallic like Ford does, this 2008 Police Interceptor represents a time when the Ford Crown Victoria was king of the police cars.
I have a 2003 Crown Victoria Police interceptor that needs a transmission, everything else is good. I has the biggest engine which is fine, lights on the grill, police console in between front seats and wires in the floor. I have had a lot of things fixed on it. I want to sell it to someone that loves it, so if anyone is interested let me know, I live in Cleveland TN
I just pinned your comment to the top of the list so others will see it easier.
How much do you want for it?
Best year Crown Victoria transmission is in 2006 to 2011 ( 4R75E). Any year downward of that (2005-4-3-2) the transmission 4r70w is a weak piece of garbage dating back to first year 1981 production A.o.d......
What are you asking for it?
@@carreviewsandmore5581 what do you think is a good price?
Often times at auctions people will remove wires / unplug engine things so warning lights come on and the prices will be cheaper. They win the auction than plug it back in.
Those losers usually don't bid enough to buy it. 😉Craziest I ever saw was a spark plug completely missing out of a newer Explorer. Coil was back in place so when you started it up it had a completely open hole. My brother bough it site unseen, new plug and it was as good as new. Nicest Explorer I have ever seen to boot.
Your dad is a hoot, !!! Love his character, nice crown Vic , all your videos are very entertaining!
Thanks so much!
His dad doesn't give a fuck. lol
Typical auction Shenanigans : unplugging stuff so buyers lose interest and move on or writing on windows saying defective/no start/ need transmission....
Love the Crown Vic. One of Fords most durable cars.
That car may outlast some new stuff sold today.
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
Dad is awesome! So glad you get to kick it with him
You should include your dad on more of your videos. Love his character 🤣
Great video as usual and dad is a legend haha, i wish i had that kind of dad/son relationship
going through that water at speed coulda been a disaster you got really lucky...
Dude, I wasn't too happy about blasting through the water but luckily everything turned out fine. I figured also these cars were built for handling a little roughness. But, that water was pretty nasty and I think I need to wash down the underside just in case!
@@hullinger Well it worked out for you so that's good
Great video! Dad's a wild man! LOL Very unique color. Looks like a win.
Hey my friend. Thanks for the comment and for checking out the Crown Vic video today!
Possible AC compressor failure clutch failure. Puts a drag on the belt. Check it out before you put on a new belt.
You got the crown Vic again. Hope you keep it for good, and can’t wait to see what you do with this one.
Hey Man! Nice to have you back and thanks for checking out the Crown Vic video today too!
Probably got too much water splashed up on the engine and caused that belt to slip, hence the burnt smell and smoking.
Love that you and your dad share the same passion for cars! Cheers!
Remind me to never let your father drive one of my cars
for sure 🙄
Glad new to the fleet. Your dad seems happy great content 🎉
Congrats, man. Take care of the former cop car!
Did your dad used to be a stuntman? 😂
Notice , Chris didn't get angry at his father - Good Father -Son Relationship ..
Thanks my man and thanks for checking out the video today too!
Beautiful Car I would love to own it
Geez, Pops has a lead foot. Ole' fashioned wheel man at the helm....
Yeah, dad likes to beat on those auction cars when I first get them. He learned that from the times we go to Capital Auto Auction where you get to test drive the car first finalizing the sale. Not so sure about blasting through the water though.
@@hullinger Precious part of the day is the fact that you spend time with your dad and do things with him in his spry years. As far as the car, definitely a sweet piece.. Many happy miles Chris. !!!!
I totally felt when you said ”oh alright” after asking how it felt when he initially accelerated .. totally expecting an answer on how the unit felt lol
Hey Chris, nice to see such a great relationship with your Dad! That car looks like a keeper. (Also looks like you and your Dad go to the same barber) ;-)
Chris where have you been ??? When will we see a video about this chocolate crown Vic ??
Thank you sir always, always love your videos keep them going!
looks like you got a good vic low idle hours and miles also , the thing in trunk was a siren loud speaker
Haha great video, Chris! Your dad is crazy, but funny 😂👍🏻
Great video - I hope he paid for that repair if something ended up going wrong lol. Dude was driving like a maniac
How about a Chris and Dad road trip? Might get some great footage.
Your dad is hilarious, I love that you have a great relationship with him!
my father had a 97 crown vic he had it until the front axle broke
i know when i had my 2000 crown vic i would keep spare coils they would go out without warning. loved the car and got rid of it at 300k miles and still running good. front ends were weak
He knew he was driving a truck basically so no need to slow down for a puddle lol
Love that you bought another one! Can’t wait to see another video of it. Currently have an ‘03 and my gem. Trying to fix the minor issues it have! Entertaining videos and your dad amazing!
Sent you an email, hope to hear from you soon about that ppv Tahoe.
Cant wait to see her clean up! Definitely miss the vic content from you man.
So cool to see your dad is a leadfoot daredevil like my pop was, lol. Great car and a great day with your dad, doesn't get much better than that. Best of luck with the new ride.
Your dad is hilarious 😂
Congrats on another P71 win!
I love the crown victorias with unique colors. Very beautiful
The old Mid-Del Autoparts junkyard in Smyrna. Used to be a thousand parts cars in that lot.
Love the crown Victoria.
Chris, does your dad driving have anything to do with not making it back with an auction car? Man, he's dangerous! ;o)
Have to find the weakest link somehow
Vids with you and your Dad are always good, seems he hasn't lost the "boy racer" with age. Tidy looking motor, especially with cloth tear seats
Your Dad must have been a NASCAR driver !
Your dad getting squirrely in the CV has me laughing in the office. Got my co-workers looking at me like what the hell is going on over there. Cool Vic!
I bought a medium brown 2007 P71 at the Dallas County Sheriffs auction a couple of years ago. I love it. My paint is not as nice as yours as it has taken a beating from the Texas sun. I don't have any rust or corrosion from salt though and the A/C works great. I put the small hub caps on mine also. The brown looks pretty nice all cleaned up. These cars are getting harder and harder to find in good condition. If anyone has been sitting on the fence about buying one, the time is now!
I’ve never seen a brown one before his Auction bid video. Not a bad color when clean
it's so amazing that you get a license plate and title right there. I have to have them towed or illegally drive them, then illegally drive them to get inspected, then get registered waiting in a long line
She's a unique color, can't beat those Panther cars.
Hey man and thanks!
I THOUGHT YOU SOLD YOUR MB
your Dad is a trip
I LIKE THE COLOR.
My 2003 is that same brown color, I have seen very few brown ones in person, and they were all admin cars. Mine was an admin car, no cage or spotlight, I bought it off an auction site for $1300 in 2016 and nothing was wrong with it. Bought it site unseen too.
I remember doing pursuit driving classes with the "old" Crown Victoria. Very sturdy & stable car that held its own.
Welcome to Brown Victoria ownership. Do the Grand Marquis door panel and dash trim swap for maximum brown goodness.
Don't know if you are interested or not, but I had the Ford stickers insets made for the full wheel covers. I noticed your
was missing. These are made with Scotch Lite and don't come off. Professionally made here at a police car
make ready shop. Let me know and I can send you my information.
If you are not familiar, you can find a picture under "police full wheel cover Crown Victoria police interceptor"
A buddy and I have bought a boat load of Crown Vic's from Colorado Highway Patrol. We drove many back to
central Texas, 1000 miles. Never had a one leave us sitting along side the road. Some had the check engine light
on, no big deal. You"re right, the a/c probably just needs a top off. I don't know what you paid for it, but I think you
made a good deal. I currently have three, one 2011 Travis Co sheriff's office, 2007 Texas Alcoholic Bev. Commission,
and 2011 Texas Dept. of Public Safety Sgt's car. Love them all.
I miss my 02crown vic police interceptor, fun car regardless of if it can beat a vette.
The old man drives like a wild man! LOL!
My grandfather drove 15 mph over everywhere. His reasoning was no young cop would ticket an old man with a short lifespan 🤣
not bad.
A deoendable, reliable, coomfortable, powerful large sedan w/o any of the new expensive gizmos. Used to be used not just for just about every law endorcement in the country as well as NYC taxis. I you purchase one, plan on spending some $$$$ totally worth putting some money on such a great vehicle. 8 cilinder, rearwheel drive, with T/C should get aloow you to drive in slippery roads as long as it isn't deep snow.
I wanted to buy a Crown Victoria Police Interceptor like this or equipped seeing this makes me wish I had one 😂 but I still have my Impala 9c1 so at least I get a 0-60 advantage over a Crown Vic lol
Maybe you shouldn't have been pounding it
Yeah, I'm thinking your right.
make sure your blend door actuator is working. I recently picked up a 11 grand marquis with 48K miles on it and the blend door actuaor quit working one day. Not an easy fix but doable if you're patient. I had it changed at a taxi shop near me.
AC is most likely a hole in the accumulator. Easy enough fix.
How much does an 08 like this go for now? i bought an 08 w/110k and 1300 id hrs back in 17 for 4400 and i still love it!
I remember reading a popular mechanics article back in the day where they tested the police Interceptor vs the civilian crown vic. The standard crown vic was actually faster. Never understood why people gravitate to the "police" models...
For some of us, it's about that 'base' look. For me, I prefer the GMs more & the police equipment is beefier than standard civilian stuff(at least the rear drive ones).
Where have you Been .....been witing months to find out about this crown vic and more updates on your life and your channel
Interesting color and I like it. Thanks for sharing.
I have 2 P71's. Love them. Solid cars!!!
Aye y'all go look back 3mintues into the video he finds a scale in the back my boy got a old trapper car 😂😂
Your dad drives like an old man who is loosing his senses. Why would you drive like that with a car you just bought through the water like that? You are taking it easy by taking the back roads but abuse the car?
Chris, are you publishing any new videos about the root beer Crown Victoria???
The A/C compressor issue on my 2008 ended up being a bad relay - $10 fix.
This video made me emotional because of that beautiful classic body on frame land-yacht😢
Congratulations Man, its a great buy.
Thanks, as always and I appreciate you!
Never seen a vic in that color and you're dad was having a blast
Don't let your dad drive! Speeding thru water is not smart.
Dad was acting like he might've eaten one of those mushrooms!
HOPE YOU ARE OK NO VIDEO ROM YOU IN MANY MONTHS HOPING YOU ARE STILL COMING BACK
Lead dad likes it.
Dad slow down or your going in the back seat. LOL
So whatever happened to this Crown Victoria?
Wish you would put out more videos. I enjoy them very much.
You can't beat the Crown Victoria I have an 08 with 180,000 miles and it has plenty of pep. Good luck with your new to you Crown Victoria 👑 👍 😊
Thanks my friend and thanks for watching too!
How much was that Vic ? That was one of the cleanest ones that I've ever seen !!!
That speaker in the trunk is worth about$250 on eb$y
Here’s another text message in case you missed the notification on the first one 😅
Hey buddy good to see you like that vic good luck
Great video! I wish they made these instead of EVs.
Pops funny. He seems like a great man❤
congrats on the purchase your dad is funny
Will we ever get an update video on this car?
Rare Color Combo! Nice Find! 👍
You said you paid a lot of money for it, how much is a lot? 6k, 7k, 8? What are you looking to get for it? You know you re going to sell it no matter how much you love it.
I forget, Watch his last video he explained it.
It does sound like it needs oil
That's a rod knock not a belt
Honestly days like this where you pick up a clean older vehicle is far better than picking up a brand new car that you know will lost 30% of it's value the second you hop behind the wheel of it.
Dad has all the answers.
Love the last Ford v8 sedan
Wow, What an awesome crown VIC. I love it and I envy you, lol. Which auction did you buy this car from? What is the address? I truly hope the car runs great with no problems for you. Your Dad seems like a great guy. Thanks for posting your videos. Stay well & safe guys.
Nice job on the car! Your dad is a wild man. Is this a keeper? Might not find another this clean.
