Here's how the auction process, buying and pickup process works when buying at a government surplus auction.

Awesome buy. Just FYI the reinforced bars visible in the trunk are part of the exclusive reinforced suspension system on PIS AND PIU. Basically, two sets of crossed reinforced bars allow for you to take a hit from behind up to 70mph. Testing this prolly wasn't fun tho.

Great Taurus Chris, remember what i said keep on the lookout for any little coolant leaks when pulling out of the driveways. Especially if it has the original water pump. Hope all goes great 👍
@CJDiecast3 жыл бұрын
I miss the days when Crown Vics were king of the police force. There's something about that car that I truly admire over anything else. The Tahoes, Chargers, Taurus' and Explorers just don't compare to the old school, robust, body-on-frame Crown Victoria. However, I still see a couple of Vics put-putting around here and there, typically used as Volunteer Sheriffs or sometimes still as patrol vehicles. My Police Department fully retired them but the Sheriff's Office still has a couple going strong. That makes me happy.

Great video as always. Looks like you got a winner for that car. I agree with you to not bid on auctions that require a winner's fee nor to deal with those that require a daily storage fee because unless you are a dealer with a truck to pick them up, you may or may not be able to get the vehicle on time. I am most envious of that 60 day plate though!
@Foxonian3 жыл бұрын
Good buy! Always wondered how these Taurus police cars were. Our local force has a few of these that are unmarked that they use as detective cars. But, with the Taurus now out of production, they are starting to replace them with unmarked Explorers for the detectives in addition to their regular marked Explorers.

When you pulled that part out of the glovebox (at 2:40), it looked like a seatbeat cover for the female side of the buckle - possibly for the driver seat - looked like there was duct tape on that one.

9:20 - the 6R80 transmission has great gear ratios and probably makes it even "faster" than the HP would suggest compared to the poorly geared Crown Vic
@bobbybandz919410 ай бұрын
There's just a HUUGE gap between the two powerbands,it's way more then gearing. You're talking substantially more hp and tq and over a much wider rpm range...the Crown Vic is the patrol car Top Gear mocked for getting gapped by stock Honda Odysseys..no joke. I trained in a VC, was a good donut turning machine,but couldn't get out of its own way. FPIS just moves out; but the 6F55 trans is nice.

I was coming through Utah and came over a small hill on the highway and the UHP was waiting there. He was in a Crown Vic. I was doing 90, before they changed the speed limits. He came to my passenger window and looked around the interior and said he missed his Mustang. He couldn't have a 1994 version because of the passenger airbag, as it would blow his computer back at him in a crash.
