Biggest thing with these is that they’re tough. They weren’t fast even new, they were designed to be able to take a beating and keep going. These were heavy duty cars.
Agreed, bring these beasts back and give them the 5.0 and 10 speed. Hell make an Ecoboost model, too. These things would sell like hot cakes if they were brought back with some nice powerplant options.
Many departments have lots of restrictions on pursuits so that wasn't really a thing with them. The main thing was they could sit in 95-degree heat idling for hours with no issue, and the A/C on keeping the officer cool. Or parked at a crash scene for hours idling with the lights flashing. Most arrestees sat sideways in the back with their knees pointed at the door. Nice car.
I have one of these, also in black, but w/o the push bumper. Had it for over 10 years now. The car is getting old, (2010 model), and the rust is starting to crop up around the wheel wells in back and a little around the rocker panels, but it still looks pretty decent. It has 189.000 miles on it.
Mine still had the decals and everything on it when I bought it for $2500 Left the police equipment in, changed the lightbar lenses to clear instead of blue so they're legal though, covered up the decals with paint until I can afford a full repaint The department unfortunately didn't equip the cars with pushbars or spotlights so I'm gonna be looking for the pushbar to mount on it and gonna spend a bit to get the wiring fixed, much to the dismay of anyone riding in the backseat I've decided to leave the cage in as well
You are spot on about being dangerous at high speeds. I was driving back from Vegas in my 2011 a few weeks ago and was looking for something in my glove box when I realized I was heading pretty fast toward a car in the other lane so turned the wheel and almost lost it. Thank god the tires were hot. The funny thing is I had JUST got brand new rear tires a week prior. Never messing around on the freeway again lol.
Great video I own the same cruiser as yours I love the Vic and retired Leo Crown Vic is a battleship best car I ever drove on the job the new chargers are fast but not as heavy duty front ends on chargers are no good and explorers have recalls again for engine fires. We in the law enforcement community want the Vic back!! It’s the two way radio and helicopters hard to get away besides we don’t chase no body up north too many law suits and liability Vic is King
Thanks for the support !! I appreciate it a lot. And that’s what’s up man . Even the interceptors aren’t as powerful. The 4.6 liter is a reliable engine but not as powerful as these modern day engines
Sounds like some maintenance issues. My 2000 CVPI was sluggish at one time. New fuel filter, pvc valve, plugs and coil packs, then it was back to snapping my neck upon acceleration.
Such a dope video! You deserve a lot of subscribers, funny you bought that for $2k I just bought one yesterday for $2k all black. Nowhere as clean as yours. How do you repaint your parts? Maaco?
@@jpb1231000 that big body Lincoln! And yea my guy definitely get one . They’re reasonable on Amazon for a couple hundred brand new and they bolt straight to the frame
I had a NICE cadillac DTS but 1/3 Mile from my House Bullwinkle Da Moose hit my CADDY!!! I know a push bar'd look funny on a TC but it'd look better than Bullwinkle's ASS PRINT!!!
I sent my cluster to The Gage Pro on ebay for the odometer by Knoxville. A lifetime warranty on the odometer display for $ 65. They did a great job and had it back in a week. If you were close to Nashville I could do the work. Please don't put some stupid looking big rims on it. My 07 is up to 144K and my 11 147K.
I have one and you can see dents all over behind the rear door from peoples belt buckles when they got searched . I put a 3 inch lift kit on it and put 245/60R18 wheels on it and can get full steer . Its awesome , definately not as pretty as yours tho
People take the body off these cars and put 60s trucks on the frame , then you got a modernish truck . They are great cars in the city , they are so solid , so they are heavy and not really worth the weight to power cost of making it fast . Its a mad max mobile for sure , with a hilarious aftermarket
9:50 i dont know man , my car with the regular set up would fly around corners . I never really do high speed driving tho so not sure . Its the best bang for your buck tho , and parts are crazy cheap , 8 $ huge air filters ?
10:23 Looks like your posi traction clutch is burnt out , new clutch is like 200 - 300$ . The Diff tag (on one of the diff bolts) lets you know if it has posi , i would be surprised if it didnt , you got a nice looking car . If your tires are old they lose alot of grip , im thinking after 4 - 5 years you cant expect them to bite into the road like a new tire . One of the coolest things about these cars is how quiet they can be . they got the overkill exhaust system , an if you put soft tires on it , it gets really quiet
10:36 My car is like 16 - 17 years old now , i have had it for 8 and the only thing i had to repair for years was the 40$ blower fan motor for the heater . It doesnt owe me anything so in the last year i been fixing it up , its the ultimate daily driver and great work vehicle with that huge trunk
Hort Damn! Another GA BOY!!! What county or AREA? I'm in Madison CO near Comer! There used to be so many Vics in Jackson and Banks counties it was UNBELIEVABLE....

@@jpb1231000 yessir , down here in the city of Atlanta man. And yea man these cars are phasing out a lot more as the years go on. Trying to keep it in good shape. Thanks for the sub man !
Why does my car turn off when I get to a stop \ or make any turn ,also when I run my ac it turns off too Then gives a hard time starting the check engine lights up on dash board
I got a 2011. I went to Georgia to get it but it had an Alabama title. The weird thing I'm from Alabama. It's fast real fast. If yours ain't fast, it's because they retuned the car it drives like a mustang
What you need to understand is these are not quarter mile drag cars they are built tough and they can maintain 140 mph literally until they run out of fuel. Don't ever underestimate a P71 interceptor.
I wanted to ask how long you’ve had your vic for? I also noticed when you were doing a burnout only one wheel was spinning, does your differential not lock and spin both tires?

Before Ford's axing of the Crown Vic Ford built as many as they possibly could. I would buy one
There’s a guy on TH-cam that lives in upstate New York that owns a lot of them, I call him the King of Crown Vics.
Used to have a 1989 LX model before my father stolen it (not lying). I miss the Crown Victoria. It is indeed legendary in the police force.
@@LITTLE1994 niceee! We’ll not the stolen part but yea man! Definitely a legend
