Crown Vic!

[Jarlaxle]

Bought it today: 2011 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. It's kind of a rare bird: a loaded car with heated mirrors, CD player, power pedals, power seat, & cruise, but WITHOUT the SAP. It also never had a lightbar or pushbar, so the roof and bumper have no holes. It even came with summer (Eagle RS-A, in trunk) and winter (Eagle Ultra Grip, on car) tires.

It has 118,000 miles, was retired from the Carroll County (NH) Sherriff Dept. about 3 weeks ago...it was a deputy's personal car. (They switched the entire fleet to Explorers.)

To-do list: figure out the rear door handles, replace the (removed) ticket light, and have it oiled.

(Actually, the first "to-do" is getting it tagged.)

Sounds like a pretty sweet ride. One down side is repair bills, they can get spendy on a limited edition engine...

Did you buy it at an auction? I assume it is a 4.6. What is the HP rating in this car?

Cops call people who have those whackers and wannabes and will be watching you sport around town.

Not at all...it has the same engine as any other CV. Police version has better handling, a HD electrical system, a different interior (no carpet, no console), and a bunch of durability stuff-transmission cooler, power steering cooler, silicone hoses, bigger cooling fan. Oddly, the police Vic DOES use a different oil filter.

Yes, 4.6 SOHC, like all 1992+ Vics. IIRC, it's 240HP.

Stupid statement.

I am going to miss the Crown Vics. I really am. Sharp cruiser with plenty of room, and hugs the corners well.

Why is Ford going to stop making a good thing?

Already did, dude: last Vic was built in 2011, and the plant (St. Thomas Assembly) is currently being demolished.
