whats your favorite retired cop car? 1. crown vic 2. charger 3. 90s caprice 9c1 4. Taurus fpis 5. Ls1 Caprice 9c1 6. explorer fpiu 7. tahoe ppv

I got into them because they were cheap and reliable - best bang for the buck - safe - cheap and easy to fix. Thanks to KZfaq channels like ours, the prices have shot up due to demand.

I just recently baught a 2015 ex-state trooper Dodge Charger, RWD hemi, at 21 years old it’s more than I could ever ask for, I thank the Lord Jesus for it 🙏

1 = Crown Vic all day, everyday I’m on my second Crown Vic P7B

Just bought a 2013 ford explorer interceptor 3 days ago, I love power and if I need, it has just that. Today though I and a cop locked eyes, he and I slowed down (as I was leaving the store he was entering) gave me the most dirtiest look I could receive. On the other hand, I'm not getting cut off, people give way and more caution is being used on the road. Today I've learned about reinforced chassis and tracking of police driver movements(thanks to this video), I'm not wanting extra lights or anything but it's nice to know that I was in the right by buying this vehicle. I paid $9,500 for it.

If I was a dad, I would make sure my kids had a cop car just for the safety alone.

Love your videos Mr. Random, my first car was a 1983 Crown Vic. I also had a 90 Crown Vic LX and a 2004 police interceptor that I wish I kept.

I love the Crown Vic's because they were the last body on frame, V8, RWD powered car you could get. They are durable as hell too. I can do without the push bars and spotlights, and light bars. Tint the windows, and do performance mods to it (most of the Modular 4.6L Mustang stuff will work) like a supercharger, higher stall converter, rear gears, and you have a 4 door muscle car that people will get out of the way for. It's also big, comfy, and roomy. They are great road trip cars. Huge trunk for luggage or stereo equipment.

I bought over 20 used cop cars over the years. My favorite were 2 1971 Plymouth Fury III with 440 cu in. engine, posi-traction rear ends. Speed odometers went up to 160 but I only hit 130mps for about 2 miles on Rt. 95 north to Washington, D. C.

2005 P71 owner here at 271,722 miles and still kicking strong!

Couldn't have said it better myself man. Crown vic for life

I love my crown vic p71. Greetings from germany.

Bought a 2016 FPIU the same day this video was posted. Was retired two weeks ago. Handles like a dream. Crown Vic is still my favorite but these FPIUs are cool too.

This was a cool video! Thanks for featuring my truck man I was wondering in the beginning then I saw it and was pleasantly surprised lol...btw...we might be bringing home a Taurus interceptor sedan this weekend...might! Shhh 🤫

On my fourth cruiser so far.

Took the words right out of my mouth! Awesome video man I love it!

I guess too many people have seen your videos because prices of the crown vics are crazy now! But still keep up the good work, I love your videos!

I knew I was going to have to have a P71 Vic after I built a Zombie Outbreak Response Team unit out of an 89 suburban! I had to have a K 9 unit and after getting all the parts like , push bar , window bars console and green and white lights, I plastered it with Zombie Outbreak Response Team decals and K-9 unit decals as well! Luckily I live in and area of Michigan where most people are into that kind of customizing!

I wanted one ever since I was a kid. I'm 22, so I remember when people started buying P71's. I just bought my first one, 2010 with 97k on it and a fully operational siren pack.

I worked at Papa Johns as a Driver for about a year exiting high school, and the Roof Topper had a telemetry system almost as sophisticated as the telemetry system used in PPV’s. Needless to say I outperformed on the Telemetry chart lol😂😉

I was going to buy a Ford Explorer interceptor utility to add to my car inventory but been doing homework on them for the past couple months & they have WAY too many issues. I trust my crown vic more when it comes to reliability.

Still on my first crown vic did the conversion tryna get a lincoln or a mustang now maybe a charger

Love the Barricade reference on the former cruiser, with that said the first cruisers to receive the safety upgrades were the cruisers of the 1960s and 1970s including the Ford Fairlane, the Dodge Plymouth Pontiac, AMC, Chevy and Oldsmobile cruisers of the 1960s and 1970s, they also had increased fuel capacity in addition to the suspension and engine power

i freaken loved this video man, Cop Vic FTMFW Bro!! Obviously my fav is the Almighty P71!! Mine made it just over 80k, my baby..

Just bought myself an '07 Vic that doesn't have a few of things said but I love it so far. Smooth ride and just looks good. Only thing I hate is all that gas.

When videos of the last meet started rolling and you started talking about whackers I was 100%sure you were gonna single out my car (slicktop with blue lights) 🤣🤣🤣

01 P71 outside idling Right now loved this video

I got a rattling noise coming from under my passenger side valve cover. But I think I figured it out. I hope I did. 1999 Crown Victoria LX

I have a 2014 Taurus interceptor, I love it, safety was the main reason. We bought it right before the baby was born.

My parents owned a 82 Grand Fury at night ppl would pull over a lot because the front lights where like a Diplomat Police cruisers. Yeah I had to play with being a kid. So now Im learning about the Explorer Police Utility for a new suv Im getting excited. Im thinking this is just what I need.

I got a 2014 charger with the push bars and spotlights, they took everything else, however they take out the back seat and center console when put in service, and I was lucky they held onto them and gave them to me with the car. I got a less than 10 year old car, in great condition, 120k miles, for 2k. I view that entire thing as a win.

I got my 06 still equipped with all Lights and siren still installed. Complete K9 cage as well. The lights are deck, visor, and mirror as well as wig wags in front and back. I gave the radio to my local pd when I was showing them my car. My idea is to keep it as complete as possible so I’m not adding anything more than it came with except maybe a CB so I can use the PA again which is mounted to the push bar. I’m no whacker, I couldn’t be, nor would I want to be, a police officer. They have the toughest job especially in today’s world. Still have and love my 09 as well but it’s not got anything more than a spot light on it. Nor will it ever. Love these cars.

Hi Sir. Great Job! I have a question: is the title clean?

great vid bro! those mustang billet wheels went on the vic without spacers or mods?

Honest advice guys should I stick to my LED headlights or go back to halogen? Led Is definitely better for safety but I do miss having people freak out in front of me. Anyone else on the same boat?

There are 2 dealers that only sell former cop cars within a 30 mile area where I live and they are always selling their vehicles. A few of their customers are retired cops. But a lot of their customers want a good reliable vehicle that they aren't paying an arm and a leg for. Most of the vehicles that I'm told have documentation on them re: their history of service. I don't own one but I can understand the interest in them.

i love my 2011 cvpi with lights and sirens dressed up as a zombie response unit i love driving it every day

I used to drive one in highschool I loved that crown Victoria funny thing is top speed is 130 on those. Mine was an 06 crown Vic police interceptor

I just saw a nice looking solid black Chevy Tahoe police truck with the spotlight for sale right down the road from my place and would have loved to have been able to get it to match my VIC. Didn’t even stop to check it out though but curious on what they are worth.

I just purchased me a 2012 3.7L Dodge Charger retired police detective car. I love it !! Yes it’s a V6, and that’s what I wanted to add to my rental car fleet due to better engine durability than the V8 . I may experiment with getting a V8 next time.

Being a Mustang driver, I hate it when people drive cars that look like cops. They slow down traffic consistently and the drivers usually think they are gods, so will get on everyone's ass when they are driving properly.

Is good to buy a explorer 2015 with 220.000 miles ? The said have the good mantenice

HA! Im gonna put a crown vic engine in my 2002 mustang gt tomorrow.

I want it for my job but I'd only put security lights on it yellow white (blue and yellow and is allowed in my state).

Just picked myself up a 2013 PPV texas car woth 93k miles 2 weeks ago.. except they sold it with all the red and blues still installed and operating

Amazing

In Florida they were cheap as hell and you knew it was kept well maintained and data logs and that engine just a Beast a lot of ideal time vs mileage driven and beat up. The police auctions were the spot.

Never had a desire to play po po for real , smh. But I love my 01 Panther Lincoln....same goodies apply lol.

Can you send me anything you don't need for my first crown Vic to hook it up like your please sir.. I have a 2002 p71 it's piped out and I have a 55 inch White LED bar embedded inside the bottom of the bumper where the open space is

Lookie there ya did 8 minutes easy and no singing proud of ya

I owned 5 ford P71s one of the best cars for sure.

I'm hoping to get a second Crown Vic tomorrow

My favorite retired cop car is a 2005 ford crown vic p71.

I've always wanted a retired car. Whats the best way to go about finding n getting one?

Im def gonna to get one now :)

So iam 15 I own a 2015 ford tarsus yes it’s a civilian version but I want to swap the grill swap the rims get tint and one day iama go to a house party and sit there so people think oh shit it’s the cops would that be illegal also should I save up for a muarada

If you're worried about getting a cop car that's been abused, find a former detectives, or admin model.

Made an investment. Got a 2013 decommissioned tahoe. I plan on reinstalling a few lights to patrol my properties, but I would never impersonate law enforcement. That's a hefty, never ending fine. On your wallet and your birth name. Yeesh.

Hello from England

A spotlight and push bar are out of place on a Corvette, Lamborgini, or Lotus. But not on a Crown Vic or pick up.

Ahhhhhhh trust me, Police absolutely DO abuse the hell out of their squad cars, and typically fleet maintenance is subpar.

Lol my boss tried to talk me into removing my trunk antenna that's basically super glued and bolted on by snipping it off🤣 Let me think that fora nope!!

Would make a good security vehicle

Facts truth video

Next on the list 80s and 70s bigger the better

I had an FBI issue Buick Roadmaster Limited. Beautiful car.

Not me entering card details to have more gimmicky items such as a comms radio shipped to my house bc i own an old cop interceptor decked out as a ghostbuster

I believe the Crown Vic all the way, my second favourite will be the Charger.

Well.. as for cops abusing their patrol cars, that is sort of justifiable. Depending on the department, different equipment is used for every patrol car. Most, if not all patrol cars have dash cameras but that's not to say that the obd II monitoring system is. And yes, with some departments the vehicle's daily usage is recorded and filed. But that may be completely different for the sheriff's office down the road.. don't quote me on it but majority of cops don't abuse their vehicles. I would think that the speed shown on the gps installed in their units is enough of a deterrent to not jack up the police vehicles but I could be wrong. Also, I should mention that they may not be abused, but all cop cars that make traffic stops sit and idle for many hours in the day, reducing the engine life dramatically. That's why the mds system in the 5.7 Hemi police chargers fail, because they idle for a long period of time. Same with the cylinder deactivation in chevy Tahoes, Impalas, and Caprice vehicles.

They are abused tho. They idle for more time than they are on the road... also? Do you let that ditch get in the way of catching that serial killer... noooo you do not. You jump the ditch if you tear up the entire suspension? who cares. the mechanics will replace it all. My 2014 sold for $36k I have every service record they spent at least that amount on replacing parts on on a monthly or even weekly basis... oh my Charger has 14.5 inch rotors and Hellcats duidnt... As the song goes "Now daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge "Johnson County Sheriff" painted on the side Just shot a coat of primer, then he looked inside Well, him and my uncle tore that engine down I still remember that rumblin' sound

I got a crown Vic 2005

I bought a Lincoln Town Car and its vic under all that glare

One thing iv noticed more is the ppl that dont like the police. Having things thrown at your vehicle and ppl flipping you off and cussing at you. It "was" a safe family vehicle for my 2 girls but now I'm reconsidering. I absolutely love it but iv almost been put in situations where iv had to protect my property..sometimes with my girls in the vehicle. 2011 chevy tahoe ppv.🤷‍♂️

👍

Think I have owned like 4? over the decades? Life long hot rodder here,. I know heavy duty parts and what they cost. Also... raising a family we had to have one 'nice car' for the little woman and rug rats while I was off making money. First was a 58 chevy with 348 tri power... this was not a good car. I learned that city driven only cars kinda sucke. next was a 82 Impala. In the HP drought of those years this thing was actually fast! 220 Hp About ike a crown vic.This was my work car but the little woman loved it.. so much that she got 3 tickets for speeding in one month I ran this thing for about 5 years spending pretty much nothing on it. It always felt taut and capable. So like all good/bad/questionable things my marriage ended. This meant the 5.0 mustang convert went to with ... you know... Anything that was not seriously worthless. My 65 El CAMINO was no bueno pretty much. a Ford dealer ran an add in the sunday paper claiming to have a dozen or so Mustang policed pursuit cars. I did still own a credit card so off I went. Daughter in tow. They were all 5.0 5speeds with just under 100k on em. They were all 'coupes' rare. They had roll up windows! The Mustang that left me was a 5.0 5 speed. It had 2.08 or some such rear end. It would go faster in 4th than fifth. The cop one had .373 gears and it was not really done at 140 mph This was one cop car where everything was different and better. Had 180k+ on it when I sold it. Next was a Crown Vic. kinda boring but Handled good and could keep up with traffic. Drove it for 5 years or so.. 8? till I got something else and just gave the car to my brother.. he still drives it. Soooo now. A 2014 Charger R/T I love this car. 100k when I bought it. About as utilitarian as the get these days. Fun and comfortable car. One thing I have known for half a century. Cop car.... tires... are... cheap... They are not the right sizes for civilian versions. Any tiny defect meant the cops just tossed em, What you are getting is a V/r speed rated tire for like 180 MPH for 90-100 bucks with no appreciable wear. I just paid over $160 for a KIA (you heard me right) tire for my girl friends car. it is probly speed rated at 60 mph Anyway.. Like my LS converted C10 Chevy truck? everyone I know including my grand daughter has an excuse for why they want to drive these throwbacks. Or 'need' to borrow' According to my Dakota digital gauges I just turned a 5.1 0-60 time in the truck. Think I could do better. but I seen scat packs (will not hook up) that at their very best with stock tires will not beat a 5.2 But as they say......our mileage may vary.

On your property it’s fine to use the spotlights, right?

How would telemetric disprove that cops abuse their cars though? It’s simply a data capture device. The department would have to care about the data, which they don’t. I assure you, no cop is getting yelled at for his MPG last shift or his heavy braking. I’ve never once heard of a department looking at an officers acceleration and braking habits. Even if they did, cops would still need to naturally accelerate and brake harder and more often than the average driver. So the point is moot. I don’t think people are saying “used and abused” in a nefarious way when describing cop cars so there’s no reason to get defensive and pretend they’re not abused. It’s just a fact that police duty is tough on vehicles. They’re constantly under wide open throttle, heavy braking, idling for thousands of hours, they hop curbs, slam into suspects during pursuits, etc. That’s all just part of police work. So to call it a “myth” is a little dumbfounding.

Hei bro this is my 2021 project in TJ mx 2004 crown vic.

Finally somebody explains it for the people who do not understand me lol

Love the vid but never buy a nypd owned vehicle.l impala or explorer 😭😭😭😭

How do I get retired cop cars ?

It would be awesome to have a retired cop car that looks nothing like a cop car. Under the radar.

I own a 2010 p7b

You forget to mention its addicting to own one

I'm not coming against the guys wanting a legit ride, they're great cars. Some... epic. To set the record straight tho: it's true no one pulls over or gives the right of way to a Delorean (no they definitely do that to cars with cred), but absolutely no one respects an "out of service for so long it probably pulled over my granny" crown vic with a push bar and a decal that's just close enough to "replicate," trying to boss traffic or own the interstate. If you get a Delorean... You'll get less crap on the road and people will actually like you.

You forgot about the patty wagon Chevy astro or and the ford Econoline e150 van Long live all the cars Crown victoria p71/p7b Crown victoria Ltd Caprice 9c1 Dodge charger Dodge diplomat Camaro Mustang Dodge polara Dodge Monaco/blues Brothers

As a present and forever mustang owner, thanks for standing up for us

How can you finance a cop car?

My question is do the police pull you over for having a cop car and will you get a ticket for it

Sopéeme nice

7:00 Agree to disagree
