the crown vic is a car that says "i'm not affaird to keep on living" and i have nothing but respect for that

Up in the northern states where they spray salt on the roads to clear the snow and ice, cars can rust. Therefore, after driving in snow, you should spray the underbody of your car to wash out the salt to prevent it from rusting

There are Crown Victoria's with over 640 Thousand miles and still running.

My first job I worked at a car dealer. We had this really old 75ish year old skinny guy who was always in a really bad mood, very cranky guy. He would smoke a crap ton of cigarettes, and I remember he drove a white Crown Victoria just like in this video. The cup holders were filled to the point of overflow with cigarette butts, he would ash them in the plastic directly. Man sure loved his 70s country music though, would listen to it in his car and at his desk, sometimes quietly singing Johnny Cash. Truly a man suited for his late 90s Crown Victoria

My dad leased a white 1995 Crown Vic just like this one. I remember him complaining that he could never rush anywhere because people kept thinking he was a cop and would do the exact speed limit until he could get around them.

My Dad had a 1994 Crown Vic. It was at about 70,000. It drove like new. I loved it. I had a 1987 VW Jetta that refused to die, like this Crown Vic. It died in the high 270,000s. My hat is off to the epic Crown Vic in this video. In terms of history. Reliability was crap in the late 1970s to the early 1990s for American cars. Fortunately, my cars in the 1980s were mostly from the 1970s. Japanese cars were putting us to shame. In the early 1990s, US Auto makers managed to make some wonderful solid "modern" versions of classic cars. The Panter platform Fords with the V8s, the 3.8 liter GM V6 Buicks are great examples of solid American automotive excellence that will run forever and take a lot of abuse. Those Ford Panther fleet cars were amazing. They will definitely go down as one of the best platform of automobiles ever produced. Thanks for understanding how special the car you were driving was. Great job

I’ve been driving a 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis LS for the past two years. Bought it for $800 from an elderly couple at church. It has bad paint peel and makes a lot of funny noises, but it keeps on going.

The oil burn is likely the valve seals; those years were known for that.

I had a 92 Crown Vic LX with the aero grille that only the first ones had. Loved it. This was before my KZfaq career 😉

I'm Michael's friend he lended the car to. I ended up daily driving that thing for quite sometime after I got my license. I had it sitting for about 4 months and we slapped a battery in it and she ran beautifully. I literally couldn't bring myself to crush it so I gave it back for 20$ believe it or not I actually caved in the trunk because of me being an idiot and Michael beat it out with a sledgehammer. It's so strange seeing my first car on KZfaq but it's good to see someone appreciate it as much as I did..... despite letting her sit and the trunk booboo.

Reminds me of my 1996 Lincoln Town Car I bought 10 years ago for $500 with 200k on it. I went on to put another 150k on it. I gave it to my dad and bought a 08 Crown Vic. Now the town car has 380k on it. I told my dad if he ever gets tired of it I'll gladly take it back.

God that was poetic. This car truly is a symbol of better times and a big middle finger to the trash masquerading as vehicles roaming the streets these days….

I have a 2001 Crown Victoria base with 282k miles and it is still a great running car. I live in NC so thankfully there is no rust. Not even surface rust. The frame and underneath are still painted from the factory. Great cars.

My first car was a '94 Grand Marquis. 250,000 miles was where the odometer quit working, but the car kept going. Original drivetrain, never let me down.

By the end of the 90s, my dad bought a green on green 96 LX at the dealer when the Corsica started to fall apart and gave the 92 Royale to my mom. The Olds was even more softer & comfortable pretty nice interior for a GM FWD, but the Crown Vic was just more solid all around. Back in HS, my then GF got mad when I mentioned that Crown Vic had more room and was way more comfortable than her newer year Crown Vic, though hers was a Police Intercepter.

20 Dollars for this beauty was the deal of my life. 😮

feels lucky i have a 2007 MGM GS with only 65k on it rn....gonna have it foreverrrr

FYI- That radio is capable of picking up AM stereo. Yes, AM stereo (it was a thing, look it up).

Amazing cars. 360,000 miles is 570,000 KMs. Wow.

This may be one of the few videos online picturing someone without inminent legal problems talking from the rear seat of a crownvic. I really enjoy your reviews, great work!

The red interior is more 70's then 90's, but still very few cars offer it today so a great plus.

love the headliner flapping in the wind it's mesmerizing imagine that 4.6 in a ranger.

Funny how Ford decided not to make a wagon for this full-size generation of sedans but GM made did with the Caprice, Roadmaster, and Custom Cruiser.

Nearly 600,000km on it. Wow. Doesn't surprise me though haha. Reminds me of my 1997 Buick Century Ltd.

That red interior is terrific!! 🤩

Pretty popular car here in Russia. Few hundreds of those were imported for police/militia use in 1992-1993.

My 84 Crown Vic only has 60,000 miles. I've had it about a year it never wanted to idle. Finally the other day I found out it had a MAP sensor and it was bad. I replaced it with a $12 used part from a truck off eBay and it runs so perfect and so quiet now you wouldn't know it was running.

My current daily driver is an '09 Grand Marquis. I had a '76 Brougham and an '87 Colony Park. I also had an '85 Vicki for a winter beater for years. All 3 had close to 300K when they gave up the ghost. The Vicki's frame went because of the salt here in upstate NY. Panther platforms rule!

Just goes to show that rust is the only weak spot on a Panther. The powertrain is almost unkillable. This car lived a long life and it'll be sad to see another aero Panther go as they're getting rare. Unfortunately, that's what happens when you live where it snows. I wonder how bad the underside and frame look. Still, for it to still be holding together after 30 years and double the miles of a normal car is impressive. There's something cool about owning a car that you've known since the day you were born.

Holy crap idk how you managed to come across the worst condition yet living Crown Vic but you did it!

I have the big sister to the Crown Victoria, I have a 98 Econoline with 372,000 miles and the 5.4 Triton runs like the day she was built. I've had her over 7 years and never will sell her

252k miles on my 06 CVPI. Dead dependable. There are CVs with a million miles on same engine.

4.6 V8 is the Tits! Panther Body 4 Life 👑

I'm kinda suprised that the interior held up so well.

Would love to see the undercarriage and see how the frame is holding up.

My 2006 2.3 Ranger has 389,320 miles. All original, it runs great but burns a qt of oil every 1000 miles or so

Wow! Over 300,000 miles for a petrol engine is incredible,as well as an original AUTO gearbox having done that much mileage!! 😳😳 Even rustier than an old Pennsylvania car! 🤣🤣 I've had a 1989 Ford Orion(a saloon/sedan Escort) a 1993 Vauxhall Cavalier,& 2 Ford Mondeos (a 2007 & a 2012), that had done over 300k,but they were all diesel engined manuals. All Ford engines,built in Dagenham,England,except the Cavalier, which didn't have a GM engine, The diesel models of that gen had Izusu engines,unlike the petrols, which had Vauxhall engines.

Love the hot moms bumper sticker 😂😂

There were 1992-2011 Panther Vics that were New York taxis that literally ran non-stop, only shut off to get gas and for maintenance. If they weren’t getting gas or being worked on the engine was running and driving 24/7/365.

People will drive epic cars and then say "god i hope it dies so i can replace it" Why not sell it to someone who actually wants it

I like the interior color choices on classic cars. Now I only see beige or brown at best.

Looks like the motor will out live the body that it's in.😊

I live in Minnesota, but I sure am glad my car is made of Aluminum and stainless steel. I did pay for an undercoat seal to ensure no rust too, and I try to wash my car weekly in the winter.

I own a 92 Crown Victoria LX and Makes a Cadillac look like a Yugo 😂

Love videos like this. Not trying to start an argument in the comments section but for some reason Toyota fanboys think only their vehicles last forever but the Crown Victoria and first Gen ranger prove otherwise.

Gotta love these stickers

Crazy to me to see so much rust on something so new. We have rust where I live but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it on a car as new as the 90’s.

Those Panther Platform cars are built like tanks. They just dont know when to quit

Same engine as my 1998 F-150. Well over 200K miles and runs like a watch. It's still my go-to for long distance road trips.

Nice! I have 2 vics over 200k, love them!! My wagon gets a Lotta love from me to keep the rust bandits at bay 🔥🔪🔥

Even though it might be a little rusty, this Crown Victoria is way cleaner and appears to be cared for more than the ultra rare 1995 Eldorado convertible that was recently reviewed.

In todays episode Zack reviews rust with a crown vic attached to it. 😅

Great review Zack! When at PYP junk yards I always check the odometer on cars that I think are interesting and love to find super high mileage ones. Very cool to see this car still going down the road after 360k. Any luck yet finding and reviewing the Chicago Cutlass?

Those cars are fantastic. I love the crown vics

This is my favorite generation of the vic hands down. I love the taillights. I had the chance at buying a cheap, clean low mileage one of these in seafoam green with a blue interior and I foolishly passed it up. I'll gladly give up my 5 speed Yaris for a clean aeronose vic.

Love those seats. I have an 06 Town Car and would trade the leather for this type of cloth. Love the snow tires on the back. Mine has those too in Cleveland.

Aside from needing some restoration. Definitely a nice older Crown Victoria. I have the same thing but 6 years older than it. Panther cars are the best.

I have a 2004crown Vic with 440000 miles on it still runs great.i drive it 200 miles a day for work.i love it..

I've owned a '93 Gran Marquis, a '08 Gran Marquis and I'm buying a '92 Crown Vic soon. I really like the looks of '92 - '97 Panther Body Styles. One reason is because they offer 15' wheels. I'm going to place General RT45 ROWL tires and bumping them from 215 - 225/70/15s. It'll be my Poor Man's Marauder.

Sometimes I think everyone watching this channel owns a crown Vic or grab marq

One of the most reliable cars ever made, absolutely bulletproof.

good stuff- cheers from germany ps very wholesome channel!

It seems like a great contestant for a body swap, take all of the guts and interior and put it in a new rust-free body because it would have been a hassle to replace all of that rust.

Impressive. Last generation of true American cars.

Awh this video is fantastic. I hope one day you could please review my two J body Pontiac Coupes!!

It’s like a couch 🛋️ on wheels 🛞 You won’t find any Crown Victoria from 1995 in this good of shape 🚘🚖

10w30 will help some with oil burn. Lubeguard in transmission will help shifts.

I have one just like this in Norway. Same color and same year. 😎

A comment on the end- you say American cars today don’t go the distance like this one, which is true but not a comparable trade. Body on Fram V8 American vehicles still do go the distance. This is a Cush truck without a bed more than a car. ~ 1993 Lincoln Town Car Owner

For me This car Feels like home

Im here for the BFB test.

Best reviewer

Those 4.6Ls weren’t even the good ones yet. They really started getting better in 03 and especially 06 and 08

That’s my best friends car! Fucking love the Vic, took it to and from work a few times. Hell yeah.

Those era Vic's had frame fot issues so if the body looks like this i can't imagine what the actual structure of the car looks like

As long as parts are still readily available, it'll keep going for a while longer. Damn you rust!

I have a 06 mercury grand marquis with 180k on it and still going strong.

Born to run.. Nice car.... Very attractive interior..

In my state that car would not have passed inspection unless you did major body work on those fenders.

Hooray!

Awesome video 🤙

Cool, I always liked these.😀

First time viewer. You do a great job!

This is a beautiful story I love It!

I still have a 2005 Grand Marquis LSE with 22,000 miles on it.I had it ziebarted,but I have never drove it during the winter.I have an old ranger that I use for that.I think that Ford screwed up when they stopped producing the panther platform.

Burgundy velour, FTW!

$20? That's the second lowest price i've heard for a car sale. I once traded a guy an ice cream bar of f the ice cream truck for an 89 Hyundai excel with no title ythat I illegally drove for 2 months before the engine blew up and I left it on the side of the parkway

I fuckin hate it and hate the fact that Americans have moved on from these type of cars to more cheaper and less reliable cars

Zach hasn't been this enthusiastic in awhile. From a crown vic. Go figure.

Easiest way to spot a car from 80's or 90's is when it has a whorehouse red interior.

Amazing

best ford ever built

Wow the car still going down the road but the exterior tho 😅

You can hide the rust a little by getting those chrome fender trims. Did it on my Town Car and it looks good from far, but far from good

The Best American Cars ever Built. Amen. !!!!

Ive had my 05' p71 for 4 years now, I've only ever had the torque converter and fuel pump go out simeoteniously. It's a real piece of shit, the drive side front window is the only one that still works, power steering and ac doesn't work. Everything else though is bang on I love it so much 161k so far originally got it at 147k

Wow a red interior

2 videos in and I already like you better than Doug DeMuro.

nice i love crown vics

I have a 97 vic and the damn serpentine belt snapped due to my negligence. Got it towed to a shop and now it seems ok but the coolant gauge isn't going up to the middle anymore.
