East Coast Classics i have one this exact same year and color except mine was never put in service(currently at 75K mi) and i have carpet instead of the rubber.the previous owner(who bought it new in 2008) added clear strobes,an amber light bar on the back lid,a bull bar and a police scanner

East Coast Classics I do Like to have Crown V. but it is imposible in Europe - Bosnia and Hercegovina. Now I dive Ford Mondeo Mk3 wagon

Sir!! I just subscribed to your channel I'm moving to the Dallas Fort worth texas area do u have any suggestions on to as me finding a crown vic Craigslist Auctions?

I *love* Crown Vics!!! _They were the _*_F-15s_*_ of the Highways and Byways!!!!!_

I was looking to buy one of these vehicles I like you I love your review what year Crown Vic is this so I'll know what to look for thanks...

Mr. Butterworth I just don’t know why ford would do such a thing to discontinue the Crown Vic’s for some stupid Taurus.

You bet Mr. Butterworth ! Bare bones badass ! ....302. ? ...or 4.7 ..?

Mr. Butterworth SAY THAT AGAIN

@Joseph Smith not sitting upright, I haven't.

@@nicksoloroblox6865 - Ford discontinued the Crown Vic for one basic reason, "Fuel Economy." Actually, they got pretty good gas mileage for what they are, at least the civilian versions did, but still, they got nowhere near what cars like the Taurus gets.

What about the Mercury version? The Grand Marquis?

@Joseph Murray Mercury also closed down on 2011

So did the ranger and it's been reintroduced I have feeling crown vic will as well.

@@fordnut4914 Sorry to break it to you. But no. Ford is canceling every car they are making by 2020. The last Taurus rolled off in February. They stopped making the Focus last year. Every car but the Mustang will stop being produced. They will just make SUVs, trucks, and Crossovers.

EPA regulations and issues with comfort(?) is what led to these disappearing

ford ended sedan production.. cant bring it back now

Nice cars but the gas mileage is probably too low.

@@randystegemann9990 Actually the cruisers we had got fair mpg. Early 90's one I had got 19 mpg. The later models seemed to do rather well also, not 25 to 30 but good. Some of the 4.6 liters here had problems running lean. Burning internal engine parts.

@@kentuckywindage222 I don't think that's too bad, but it probably brings down the average mpg of their cars too much when the government wants carmakers to increase the average mpg of all their cars.

Hahahaha

I bought a COMMERCIAL STANDARD 2011 Crown Vic with 33,500 miles----Leather etc in Black from Hertz-Rentals ----for a dirt cheap price------I have NO complaints at all-------The x-cop ones have very high mileage; of course--------The damn thing will outlast me......Hertz would sell them off when they are 2 years old------

Bought a 2011 from the Adjutant General's CA National Guard Office in Sacramento-----Leather etc and all the bells and whistles; including premium rims-----Black in color------ 33.000 miles------law-enforcement type--Special premium; interior Special order everything etc......package .........I used to work for the 2-star General-------He knew that I was looking around for a CV and he gave me an inside trak on how to purchase his ........The CA AG got a new CV every two years-----Right time---Right place.........One in a million shot----I still have it and it is perfect.........The AG had 2 of these Special Order CV's------

The push bar should take care of that.

@Crap - driving under the speed limit is usually not necessary though.

The sound of the engine is like the sound you would expect in car with 400hp.

That whir in first gear just can't be beat.

They were also available with Kevlar inner door panels to lessen the effect of bullets.

There are no truer words spoken! Driving these Vic's has been a whole lot of fun. Probably the most fun extra car I've ever had! Thanks for watching and for your comment too. -Chris

I bought a 2005 p71 recently and I absolutely love it. Tough, reliable, and really gets up and goes. I also love the sound of those doors. Excellent vehicle way undervalued. Thanks for this video.

agreed. i got my 2008 with 128,000 and figured id send it off to the scrap yard after a year. im at 200,000 2 years later and have not replaced a single part. i plan on keeping it until it starts costing me money to fix, but i see no sign of that happending any time soon.

Jason, great to hear from ya. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching my little videos over the past year and one-half. I really do appreciate you watching and participating. I also hope you continue to enjoy what I do and and if you have anything you'd like to see in the future, please let me know. -Chris

You're welcome. Keep up the good work. :)

lovely?are you a man or woman?

I just got one crown vic. A 2009. I love it.

I see a lot of elderly people driving the Fords and the Mercury version of the police intercepter.

😁🤘🇺🇸

Is it a gas guzzler?

Brandon lol . Let’s not talk about that :)

@@abdelhammami9003 oh so helpful hahaha

@@redbridge889 Define gas guzzler. For what it is I think it gets pretty decent fuel mileage and I always average over 20 miles per gallon

As a Ford Truck driver I delivered hundreds of loads of parts to that plant and I remember watching the new cars being rolled out to the parking lot and the teams of technicians from many different police forces from across North America checking out the new Crown Vics. It was great !

Gary, thanks so much! I enjoy your channel and I've seen your sub count double over the past few months. Congrats. And... thanks for checking out my video. I really appreciate you commenting. -Chris

I try to watch as many videos as I can from others and show my support, especially when the video is as good as this one.

You're kind and thank you again. Keep your videos coming! -Chris

keep yours coming too!

Both y'all keep the videos coming. Top two Vic guys out there.

Wow! Now that's an involved swap. The clutch pedal mounting and linkage alone would be a royal pain.

Tom Swinburn not bad actually. It’s a clutch cable, and the pedal is custom made, direct bolt in.

Ken m: They really must be black for the full sinister effect the video mentioned they have on other drivers. I noticed that the best effect is missing - the Police Interceptor badge that they have on the left rear. Is that illegal for a civilian to have? Please respond.

its legal, its a factory badge for the model, most people and other officers will tell you its fine, however some might disagree.

Hey man, thanks so much for checking out my video and it's super cool that you found an '09 Vic. And $2400 is a real nice price too as long as it all checks out good too. If you're on Facebook, there's a group called "Crown Victoria P71". Something like 26K members and lots of folks willing to help and give guidance on whatever may come up.

Rallock I live in nys and might be selling mine too 😉 it’s not the same color or year but it’s pretty nice! It’s a 2004, with only 117k and was originally from Virginia so there is no rust on the body at all!!

Love the blue color.

The Captain is the car still available

Did you end up buying it ?

Thanks for sharing and thanks for checking out my video too. These Vic's are gems and you're right about being spacious and I especially like how they ride. Firm but not stiff and they handle well for their size too. Thanks again! -Chris

Hey man, thanks so much for your kind words on my video. I really appreciate it. And yea, I've got another CV video planned for next week as I'm planning to be at a surplus auction here. There's plenty of Vic's there to choose from. Fingers Cross! -Chris

Thanks man for checking out my Crown Vic video. Love these cars and love your comment too! -Chris

From a professional driver of 13 years I murmured that myself " let's see if he makes a clean 3 point turn" and I was surprised! He used every bit of space fully and made a clean 3 point turn!

Hey man, thanks so much for checking out my Crown Vic video. I enjoyed making that one and so glad you liked it. It was fun to do a different kind of car review and list out those little subjective and intrinsic things that I like about the car. Thanks again! -Chris

While my current vehicular choice tends to be biased towards European vehicles, my current pride and joy is a 1990 Jetta GLI Wolfsburg Edition. My Mom bought the car brand new in 1990 and it’s a weird car....in 1990 VW never imported the Jetta GLI to Canada....we got the Jetta GTX. Our GLI is equipped with all the standard GLI features (sunroof, trip computer, power seats, power mirrors, power windows, central locking, Recaro sport seating, ski sack and spoiler). Under the hood, the car has a 1.8L Digifant II 4 cylinder powerplant and automatic transmission....features that VW never offered officially. I am in the process of restoring the car...I’ve built a new engine based on the 2.0L ABA used in later models of the Golf and Jetta. A specialized cam, higher flowing cylinder head, high flow injectors and a few other tweaks have taken this engine to producing 165 horsepower at the crank. It’s a unique car and even better that it’s been in the family since Day 1. Even better was that when I got the birth certificate from VW in Germany, it was built on my birthday....May 14.

Wow man, great story with the VW. Super cool about the build date too and that it's been in the family it's whole life. Thanks for sharing that!

East Coast Classics I’ll send you some pictures...I like that generation of Jetta since it looks like the box it was shipped from Germany in. They are really the last generation of simple, straightforward watercooled VW. I also have a ‘68 Beetle hat I bought from the original owner. It was only driven for 7 years before being put into storage. It has 53k miles on it and is complete...,the engine is a a seized boat anchor but for a car that spent its life in Canada, it’s solid as a rock. It even had the original sales brochure in the glovebox!

How many miles does it have now?

Hey, that makes two of us that likes the sound the doors make when they are closed. I can even hear and appreciate it while watching Live PD and Cops too. So unique and distinctive! -Chris

Me too ‼️ ‼️

Me too! Its an 04. Soon after I bought it I found the reason it was sold the damn intake failed. I'm 65 years old worked on cars all my life and it looked very daunting but I took it on anyway. I would work on it for about 3 hours each day as thats all my back could take cause its all hanging over the fenders and after 4 days got it done. I bought the Ford Racing manifold. Holy shit what a difference it made. It made a shitty running car into a perfect running car with balls. Pulls really hard now. Runs perfect. I have owned 2 Vics and one GMQ. Love this platform. After you sort it out it is a perfect running car.

Ditto. 2005 64457 miles

Love your comment and thanks so much for sharing that. I'm thrilled that you saw my video and you found yourself a Vic too. -Chris

Hey man, thanks and I'm glad there's someone else out there that finds it strangely satisfying about the sound of these doors closing. It's something I even noticed on Cops and Live PD too. That sound is so unique. -Chris

East Coast Classics Ive had 15 of them I tried to tear them up they are indestructible I like the way the starter sounds to

Thanks for the comment and yea, these are the best kept secret around. I wanna keep it on the Down Low but shout it out at the same time. What State did your '08 come from? -Chris

Hey Chris, mine came from my home state of Massachusetts. It's a little crusty underneath, but not bad. I bought it 1.5 years ago with 62k on it.

Brotha, I think you got yourself a smokin great deal!

Thanks so much for your comment and for checking out my Crown Vic video. Appreciate that! -Chris

Hey Pat, thanks. You know, the differences between the CV and CVPI is a constant question and there's a bunch of misnomers. I think that might have to be a future video idea. And yea, Spongebob jumped in at just that moment. I was however trying to merge onto the highway so exceeding 55 MPH was needed. Looking forward to your next truck update. -Chris

Both are great, the CVPI is much better though. I have owned and drove both.

I have a 2010 CVPI and let me tell you one thing up front they are not very fast if that's what you want you arent going to like the Crown vic they are very heavy and very slow but they do make cool V8 noises and you can drift them on the right street surfaces....gravel ,dirt, wet street sleet snow or icy road...LOL!

Specs read top end on the 4.6 Police Interceptor is 129. I never had one that would exceed 125. They are however dependable.

WTF

Matthew Bergin yes. I had a 98 with the handling and performance package- unbelievable performance 😁

Could you get a Crown Vic imported to you from the U.S.? If so, could you get it registered to drive on the street?

Thanks for the comment on my Vic video and I'm betting your car is white! It seems that white paint doesn't stick around long.

The back seat is still a HAZMAT-only zone...

Thanks for checking out my Crown Vic video. Glad you found it and thanks for the comment too. I appreciate it! -Chris

Do you where the pants or does she.?

Well call it a family sedan.

@@fordnut4914 My wife wears the pants. I wear the trousers. Ah, er, uh -- "where" -- Spell much !??

You're awesome! Yea, be sure to get yourself another Vic soon. I'm started to feel that Crown Vic sales, at least at auctions, have peaked and the number of good cars are starting to diminish. Thanks for your comment! -Chris

Chomar hi

I’ve owned two, 98 and 03. I would really like a 2011 so I can have the last model year made. I love these! And they can be cleaned out with a hose.

Thanks for your comment and thanks for checking out my video. This blue is called Sonic Pearl and it's one of my favorite car colors. Strangely, I just got the car wrapped so that beautiful blue is covered up now. -Chris

I special-ordered my '07 Crown Vic LX with every option --- except the adjustable foot pedals. As I recall it took several months to be delivered because of a strike by the Canadian railroad. I love the car, which is garaged and has only 10,700 miles.

There was a time those cars were everywhere but finding a good one today is nearly impossible. Any chance you've got some video of her that you could share? -Chris

East Coast Classics There is just something bad ass about the M body cop cars. Even more official looking than the Vics....I feel anyway. But yes..It's really difficult to find one that is in acceptable condition. Often used in fleet use, they were pretty much used up and thrown away.

Yeah, they were great cars but the Chevy 9C1 would stomp it in the quarter mile and the top end wasn't even close.

@@hudsonhawk0016 agreed, 9C1 was the best......until it snowed. Then it tried to kill you 😂

Check out CHP auctions in Torrance, CA. and Wild Rose Motors in Anaheim, CA. if you are going to Ca or the Souhwest. Wild Rose recondition & sells Crown Vics & CVPI's. I would buy a Natural Gas version if I could get a dual fuel conversion kit. I have family in TN but live in SoCal and NG is very hard to find in the rural parts of the interstate.
