Thank you for watching! Best of luck in your search for your Crown Vic, they're getting tougher to find but if you're patient you can find a deal.

Great news hearing/seeing that you got you’re crown vic!

Yeah they all do that... Since I've had this car I've gotten used to the noise and I've even heard other Panther Platform cars doing it on the street lol

Same for me with my '04, used it for 3 years on a 100 mile round trip commute running it up to now 236k, now its mostly stays at home parked but for an occasional short trip or quick run within 100 miles. Will keep it until it cant be fixed.

@@richardkluesek4301 mine is up to 239K, I don't drive it like I used to, I mostly drive my Corolla now only because gas is through the roof, similar to you I only use it as my highway cruiser at the moment, I Haven't driven it in 3 weeks, when I do hop back in it it's gonna seem like such a big boat

How much do u pay for gas?

@@doglover4495 right now 50+ to fill up

@@richardkluesek4301 i rolled my 98 300k...just change the oil ever 3 to 3.5k...and the transmission every 30k (and i mean 30k)...be nice to them..and they will carry you until they cant carry no more.

Use a similar paint color

@Jamesh1011 yea someone keyed the absolute shit out of the drivers side doors 2 big x's in the doors and then wrote "goof" on the hood of the car and it being the smokey grey "ghost car" color i cant even get the exact color from ford

I cant find my color either, its the weirdest light baby blue kinda color, 2008

@@coyotecrews3498 mine has the inside back door panels taken out, i have not a clue why, also the inside of the trunk is bare

You can check out how it looks (and what I paid for it) in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fcWSnrNlm87Hh6c.html Thanks for watching!

What do U mean by that

My OD cancel button works fine, I don't mind gliding through town anyway. And thanks for the tip but I don't think its my hood latch, that was one of the very few parts I had to replace on the car so its got a brand new OEM hood latch that's less than six months old. It sounds like its coming from the driver's door area.

The reason why the Panther platform retired was because in 2012, the stability controls came and unfortunately the Ford couldn't get that put on, plus it was already outdated by then.

Well I bought mine at auction so there was a lot of luck involved for me because I couldn't inspect the car before I bought it. If you can inspect it before hand, check the transmission fluid using a white paper towel or napkin. The closer it is to bright red, the better. The more brown it is, the more likely the transmission has serious issues due to lack of maintenance. On the test drive get the car warmed up and give it heavy throttle and make sure it accelerates strongly and doesn't slip. The good news with the Crown Victoria is that if it does need a new transmission it's not expensive to put it in (as far as transmissions go). You should be able to get a rebuilt one put in for about a grand. It's the same transmission they used in the F-150 so it's common as dirt.

I'm not sure exactly what torque converter is in the P7B, but I know that the 2009-2011 Crown Vics use a different transmission fluid (Mercon LV) than the 2008 and earlier models (Mercon V), so it might be a different torque converter in the later models.

you Supercharge dat shit you could Rock like a Hurricane, people always under estimate it so as to not look bad, then secretly fall in love with it peace y'all

@@000274400 Cletus Mc Farland events showcased and wrecked many CvPIs. But in fairness he made 'em famous and demoed the potential. And Security training outfits destroyed far more many cars.

The highest number I've seen on mine with the 3.55 rear is 23 MPG highway, and a previous CVPI I rented a couple years ago did do 25 MPG on my fuel economy loop, and I think it had the 3.27 rear end, so yes if you drive conservatively you can get 25 MPG out of a 3.27. I can only imagine that cost was a factor for various police departments skipping the limited slip diff

The police interceptors had a different engine control unit, and they all came standard with dual exhaust which was optional on the civilian models, and the exhaust was what Ford called “low restriction exhaust” which means the resonators were removed which makes it louder

I don't live in Irvine, but there's lots of old Crown Vics out there

Contact the service department at your local Ford dealer and give them your VIN number so they can check to see if the recall for the steering column applies to your car. If it does they will fix it for free.

cars thank you very much . I will do that. as soon as possible thanks again

You're welcome!

I'd like to put Flowmaster 40's on mine. Straight pipe is probably too loud for me, I'm getting old :(

@@CarDietrich I can assure you that was extremely loud!

I believe it. I'll bet your neighbors loved it! lolol

Yes it was free, and if your Crown Vic has the open recall they will do it for you too. If you search “check recall status NHTSA” you can find a website where you can type in your VIN to see if any recalls are open on your car.

@CarDietrich thanks I appreciate you explaining. I just bought mine. Gotta have a little work done. But we drove it 200 miles home it seems like the engine and trans are good. The problems are stupid shit like the ignition switch is hard to turn and the odometer light is real dim, ac and heat don't seem to be working neither. But the thing drove fine

129mph with the 3.55s. You can get more top speed with the 3.55s but you will need to get some performance parts added(swapped) in the rear differential and take it to a tuner shop to bypass the ecu that limits the speed(gears).

@@1nsurgent ok good deal, because most forums say that the 3.55 P71 can only hit 119mph 🤔🤷🏿‍♂️

@@krownvikkhris3004 If you are getting 119mph with 3.55s something wrong then. Ford did a test with the 3.55s and got top speed of 129mph, not sure if it was on a long track or airport though.

@@1nsurgent yes that's what I was thinking, because I can hit 140-142mph with my 3.27s

@@krownvikkhris3004 mine won’t go over 120

Lol... I assure you it can't outrun muh Crown Vic!

I did get 27 mpg out of it once hypermiling

They didn't have one with a smaller engine?

Your comment made me chuckle, since I've had my own bad experience with these cars. A lot of people praise this platform as the end-all be-all car ever made. Yes, they're decent cars, but they were made at a time when American car companies were producing pure garbage. Anything and everything can go wrong. I bought a 2005 Lincoln Town Car last January with 104k miles and the transmission went out half a year later. Yes these cars are neat and can be head turners, but you still need to proceed with caution.

Yep, my 2008 P71’s transmission just gave up the ghost at 91,000. Just had it rebuilt. Despite that train wreck of a repair, car has been really solid.
