Thks. Helped me. Taught me what to look for. I have a local car dealer who claims all his cars are admin. I've never bought from him just on a "wariness" gene.

love the the tapped bolts... dont hate em. Thats history. imagine all the excited high school kids whos passed it down ready to show off to their friends. all the memories passed down from one single car part.

Do you still own the P71?

Now both are no longer in production

I live in a major city where we do still have some of these running g the streets both patrol cars and admin cars.

Been checking your channel for like half an hour and I love it. Keep up with the awesome content bro, hopefully I´ll get mine pretty soon. 🙏🙏

I got a 2013 I'll sell u for 7500

Would this work on a Grand Marquis?

Will this work in a 09 Grand Marquis?

What kind of zip ties do you use? The force pulling on that shaft is immense. My zip ties stretched and failed immediately. And they were beefy.

Yes would like more cop car videos!

May I have your business inquiry email address?

Love your channel! May I have your business inquiry email address?

Great info man. Looking at Pathers on Craigslist and this vital in NY.

How many idle hours on it?

How many idle hours did it have when you got it and how much does it have now

The link is not working !

What would be considered high idle hours? Is 3800 on a 2017 high?

I didn’t need to do any look into my Vic because when the light hits it just right I can see the ghost writing from the city police department. The duel spot lights was another give away 😂

Were you able to do this yourself? Looking to do the same setup on my p71 but I wasn’t sure if I’d need a lift.

I used to work for a large city government fleet, about a thousand cars, and from time to time old worn out vehicles went to auto auctions. This included hundreds of Ford Crown Victoria cars used by the police department. Part of my job was removing/salvaging the police equipment out of them before they went to auction, which meant I drove them all, and I got a real good look at their condition pre-auction - and I can tell you that not one of these cars were "babied"! Invariably the police cars showed signs of major wear. These cars were heavily worn, and mostly worn out, since they were driven by people who literally could not care less about them, which meant they'd been abused, because the drivers did plenty of things you'd never do to a car you actually owned. A milion cold starts, hours and hours of I would not spend more than $1,000 for any of these cars, especially since I knew that anybody who bought one of these was going to be throwing money at them big-time. And consider this, that odometer reading did not represent their true condition, since police cars spend a whole lot of time just idling. Any mechanic will tell you, idling a car causes the most engine wear of all. So take the odometer reading, then double it. That's probably the true amount of wear that car actually has.

Hey man, thanks a bunch for the great info. I have to replace the one on my vic and I'm having a difficult time trying to decide which way to go. I'll keep searching. Thanks again and God bless you 👍🙏

Just an unrelated FYI, I owned two V8 AWD Chargers ('10, '13), and a V8 AWD 300 ('13). All non police, BTW. All were great. Biggest difference between basically, is the 300 was much quieter, and has much less NVH. Miss them all, and really regret selling the 300. My one complaint is that the Charger interiors were cheap. Oh, 2009 is when they went to VVT and the power jumped to 370. Before that, you don't even need to know the HP.

Notice the Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires. I installed a set of those on my Grand Marquis and it doubled in value. Also, they get good traction in the rain and snow. GREAT VIDEO!

Also look for signs of repaint. Bumper covers can hide more damage underneath. Its not always a sign of a bad car but keep in mind, finding new bumper covers right now is a pain. In fact, any parts that are body or trim pieces are near impossible to find unless you have a cache of parts. Last parts car I gutted was an 05 SAP and I knew the history of it. It was 3000 bucks, back in 14. Normally for a car that was shamed in the rear (with bend frame) would be a no go. I knew the cop that was assigned to the car. I called him up, and he told me, the car was smashed in the front prior, and had all brand new parts put on, just for a week later the car to be rear ended by a police Tahoe that a perp stole. So, the back was smashed, but everything front of the firewall was so new, it still had the Ford stickers. I mean, springs, IFS, brackets, lights, bumper (though the morons drilled the plate bracket crooked). I still have most of those parts and fro a few others to keep my fleet of Panthers going. Good video, very good points. Im just glad that finally Crown Vics are more or less gone as police cars. I used to be a cop, but just loved these cars. The whackers (is that a thing anymore?) caused so much heat. I got pulled over so many times just because of a guy impersonating, and my car matched the description. It was always just easier to show him my badge and move on, But if I wasnt, it would be such a hassle. My daily is a Grand Marquis now, which is the best under the radar car ever. Nobody bothers you lol. Granda ma can do 100mph right in front of a trooper and nothing. Plus theyre cheaper than the other Panthers, and mine drives like its brand new.

I love panther cars. First one i drove was a silver 01 CV LX. The interceptors are super cool and its nice to see you keep one in good condition. Most of them are pretty tired by now as they had a hard service life and then people that bought them cheap skipped out on service and treated them like race cars. They often have an asking price higher than a same year and mile Town Car or Grand Marquis too! Just bought a rust free Florida 2005 Town Car for 5,000. My Town Car will never see road salt as i have another car to use as the daily.

Check the hours the engine has run, sometimes more important than the miles driven. Great video.

There is upper plenum gasket it just don't use a gasket. The 96-98 CV has a gasket similar to style to lower intake gaskets

I would just assume that the car is completely worn out. :)

The Taxi Inspector would stop by to certify a new Cab at my Cab Co.and always drove the same unmarked Crown Vic that stayed in mint condition for years one day he showed up in a new Taurus and he said they took his beloved Crown Vic away @ 120,000 miles and said he wishes he could get it back. We don't live near the Rust Belt and well made cars last indefinitely here.

Real men run bald all season tires on their Vic!

Beautiful pursuit man! I have 18 awd pursuit did great in its first western ny winter. No Problems except for one evap code

Hey I also live in western New York with a awd pursuit I got in November of 2023.

During the BLM protests, my city exhausted all of their Explorers as quite a few were destroyed or deployed elsewhere. They pulled out all these rusty and peeling paint crown vics and had them all over the police headquarters along with tactical units. I used to drive by the lot where they had been parked for probably ten years. Very bizarre.

Also where can you order the recall kit?

Hey man can I email you a video or what happened to mine? I think it’s exactly what you’re talking about. My mechanic just ordered me a junk yard steering column assembly but I may just try the zip tie trick.

I have the same car. Does yours clunk when slowing down to a stop when putting brakes on? It doesnt do it when cold out but on warmer days, 40 plus, it does. Im in NH.

Seal those roof holes quick, leaks and rust BAD. PUT push in plugs or screws with Motor HOME caulikng in them, proflex is best

Alot of cities and counties give used ones to other departments like building inspectors.

where can i find one for my 03 crown vic?
