I have a 1998 Crown Victoria LX, with a 4.6 V8 . An it was a police car because it didn't have ABS sensors on the steering knuckles on the front hubs and it has 4 wheel disc brake all the way around.
11'P7B retired detective car outta Missouri, got her down here in Texas , she's a Absolute BEAST, About to upgrade all 8 coils and plugs , new fuel filter, new air filter ,Xenon lights and Flowmaster Super 10s😎.... BEAST Edit: all new shocks and struts all the way around....I want this baby tough as NAILS 😎
2011 p7b thats a sweet i bet that thing rides nice... Do you have the flex fuel right? Man you have many new parts on that... That my should be running RIGHT!..
@@bstfordchannel923 Yes sir flex fuel , doing the suspension all the way around and ignition coils in next week....I can't wait to see how she runs with the new coils 😎, already got new plugs in her
I have a 2010 CVPI and It runs almost perfect, you can take it offroad over curbs and anywhere you want that is realistic. The only problem that I have noticed is when refueling the vehicle the gas pump clicks off even though the car is not full.
Owner of a 2005 CVPI with a 137K miles and yes, its the first ever throttle by wire but its very simple and for its age, very responsive! I enjoy this car alot. Its comfortable, it's a sweet ride, spacious, easy to fix and simple to maintain.
I got you down for those years Trigga ... Man thats 99 ( enegine ) was crazy I wish you drove one.. Its was built different.. i like the same years as you 07-08 i have drove the newer ones ONLY a 2011 cab and that seem faster than my 08... I forgot to mention that..
GREETINGS Locdog 08 is great i have one this thing makes my life so much easier... i bought the thing for $200 bucks and i just puzzle the thing together very shocked how I did it, but the car is amazing.. I will have to say this is the best car ever built in the present times Locodog
IMO any year 04 & up in the SAP mode is the champion. so fucking dope driving a civilian crown vic with all the police upgrades. my car has the velour bench seats, carpet, the dome light & the fire extinguisher. the mix of police goodies with no other police markings is fire!
Thats what its all about the best of both worlds! You ride how you like to ride... Thats the important part Josh... Thank you for sharing this bro thank you
Hey my friend, my '05 has been very good. 'course I had to get the tranny rebuilt. I put aftermarket sway bar bushings, the neoprene ones. That made a big difference in handling. Also changed the rear end lube and put a new 5/16 fuel line vent tube. I change the oil every 3000 miles and have had no issues with this car. Had 79000 miles when I got it. Today it has 144178 and running strong. Thanks for all your info. I always look for your videos because I know I will learn something Everytime. Thanks again.
glad to hear it serves you well ... I have to do the same thing to mind and paint ( the daily Vic ) its really trash now , but i will rebuild it back slow
Can you help me please? I had the engine replaced in my 2000 Vic. The replacement engine has the oil filler cap on the passenger side where as my 2000 engine has the cap on the driver side. How can i know the year of the replacement? The worthless shop that installed it was no help.
some engines where Windsors and others where Romeo.. windsors / Canada have 13 and 14 valve cover bolts and the oil filler on passenger side.. count the valve cover bolts. 11 should have been on the other motor Romeo / Michigan
I have an 03 marauder and now I have an 04 grand marquis so I gotta say I like the 03 and up panthers the most. I been reading up on the 4r70w and Ford made a lot of improvements to it over the years. I know what’s inside the 04 trans now but curious what’s in the marauder trans?Chilly up here in Saskatchewan too but I got a garage heater now so I got no excuses. Time to get out there and get at it.
yerah man keep that heater on and keep the mind focus on the price... you have gem on your hands i want one of those myself.. a lot of 03 guys out there that did dig this year..... its chilly here then it rained, ahhhh man the cold just set in rough Canadian Marauder
@@bstfordchannel923 my neighbor has a black marauder sitting since i moved in (about 2 yrs back) i need to get my ass over there and ask what he wants for it or whats going on. its clean too! if its too much for me ill send u where its at since were both central
05 and i love it. havent gone over 120 mph. i think the 96-- 97 were the fastest. my 96 would get up to 140 easy.i didnt want to go faster. i also ran out of road.- i just passed on a 99. it looked pretty beat up. not somthing would want to go fast in. yah i know we were talking about 98 and up.
lmao 1999s all are rusty around the front fenders and such.. I want the 96-97 in a Merc those look so much better than the Crowns to me in those styles.... I figure 05 are good to, but many people never say much about them
I bought a new 2001 CV and had 540,000 miles and running perfect before a drunk driver hit me in the rear. I really thought I would get 1 million miles on that baby. And yes it was a taxi running 24/7. My 2008 has 321,000 right now. I can't seem to get the drivers side valve cover off. Any suggestions?? Do I have to take the brake booster off? I hope not.
the brake booster may have to come out... some body said that they did it with out taking it off (never seen this ) Man you almost got a Millly out of the car. such a shame for that happened bombhead i am very happy you are here ..oh wow your 08 has 300k taht is amazing and wild at the same time you can do it bro you can do it lol... should document that... what is leaking.. i fixed a valve cover leak with out taking it off... mine was leaking though the bolt holes... i just took bolt and the rubber out also.. then clean with break clean and then fill hole with silcone for a day ( thats the key ) and then start it let it idle to help cure the silicone
I had a 2000 P71 and loved it. Wish I had kept it. According to a video I watched by Mr Random that particular year model was particularly dangerous and responsible for many deadly car crashes due to some recalls they had. But that car would absolutely haul @$$! Ofcourse it had the 3.55 gear with the limited slip. That's why I want to rehear my Mercury. Speaking of, I cannot seem to find anyone who can do a dyno-tune on it. Kind of aggravating.
oh thanks Norman for that dude ( means a lot! ) i just shoot from the hip with the videos.. I have down for the 03 GM.. I like the rag top on those vs the Lincoln Tc..
'04 Civilian Vic obtained '09 with 97K, now has 161K, all original. '10 Civilian MGM obtained '18 with 67K, now has 75K, all original. I like the way the 4R70W tranny, and mechanical throttle body shifts, and drives over my '10. I like how my '10 sits about 1.5" higher than my '04. The suspension feels a lot stiffer, and more stable. When I'm cruising on the highway with the cruise control, I forget about the electronic throttle body. I like the digital speedometer, and dash on my '10. I really want a Town Car L.
Since you you had all these panther YOU can make a very cool video on the difference and the RIDE feel on these cars.. I had vics only and Lincoln no Mercs so have very detailed insight on this matter ... Now the TownCar night and F n day brother sweet sweet ride brother they really tweak the goodness into the Lincoln
Oh yeah my '10 MGM has more sound deadening material in the door panels, and under the parcel shelf in the trunk. It makes the interior noise levels very quiet, especially when going over bumps, and rough roads. lol. I already made a video comparing my two panthers. You can see it here; - ruclips.net/video/nMqVcs9y9fw/видео.html - But it's very poorly made, and it sucks.I should probably delete it.
@@PanzerPlatform just wated the video very detailed brother good job.. Your in Cali? you have great weather i would be showing those panthers off on a daily ( full figure view ) of the cars.. We are intrusive people lmao
@@bstfordchannel923 I have a vivid memory of my uncles old one as a kid and I was like damn, I want that so bad. Its the last of a breed man. Only issue I have is electrical, blown fuses left and right, so I just tossed in higher fuses and it worked. Electrical is all logic, which I lack, haha. Only goes out with the hazards.
I've got a gem I own a 99 p71 that came with a 3.55 locker it's now converted into a complete mercury marauder with 4.10 rear gears and but when I first bought it it had the npi 4.6 in it and it ran hard I tuned it and got rid of the top speed limiter and hit 140 with ease. Then the engine blew and I had the opportunity of getting my hands on a 2004 PI head 4.6 and swapped it in and the things ran even harder with that engine and npi pcm I was keeping up with stock marauders in the 1/4 mile so there's your answer to swapping in the PI 4.6 into a 99 p71
MY MAN you did what i wanted to do.... THANK YOU FOR THIS info wow... You really do not understand how much this info means to me personally lmao.. I can sleep not... Now i do have to figure the swap ( $hit ) i do have to do it lol .. This comment is what i was looking for my god.. F N AMAZING 02lsev8 i am in kmy seat floored
I have an 04, overall been a pretty reliable car. Have had issues though. The diff seal went bad along with wheel bearings and u joints. One of the rotors was also warped. Im pretty sure my alternator is also on the way out. Other than that and it needing 2 new rocker panels its been mint. Oh and a small oil leak. Its a love hate relationship at this point. lol
thats a given on what you spoke on Wootzor09 those are typical things that go wrong with the cars.. The car still makes you feel good inside despite the issue.. 04 is a GREAT year for the vics
its funny soe cars just ride better or was taken care of better maybe... my 08 is beat it needs so much , but i have plan for it ( staying stock ) but i may have to change the crank
You have one? I am trying to make a road warrior type of Vic ( for the road ) not off road as it should.. I would like to see ytour ride Recession Rodders on facebook
Had a 01 bout 10 years had to replace engine and trans and rear diff not sure what year i got with those but could chirp tires in second easy. Thanks 4 info
I own a 04 LX Sport and a DBW 08 CVPI. Agree, the 04 has much better throttle response and action. I added the 70mm truck throttle body and police snorkel to open up the intake. It still looks stock so passes state smog inspection. DBW is not bad but switching cars shows big difference.
comfort mercs and Lincoln 05-up Crown vic patrol cars 1999- spunky 03 04 07 07 for me, but 06-2011 to be really real it depends on what it was used for prior if city ( no good ) hwy patrol ( very good )
I would have to go for quickest suspension. Seems that is the foundation of a great auto. HA HA, see the Mav is still holding it's place out of the weather. Vic is getting more attention right now but that temp will be dropping. Go Mav!
lmao GO Maverick, I have more parts coming in for it... the Vic needs to be moved so i am trying to complete the hot side then drop it on the grown then finish the cold side when car is on the ground.,, The Maverick will go outside for a few then go back in later... Thats the plan in my head
My 2009 P71 is a joy to drive. Acceleration is good (not great starting out) tops out around 135mph. Rides like new, handles tight as it should. Would like to put a posi track rear end in it or some sort of locker. Any suggestions?
I got a 01 grand marquis gs. Was my gma car for over 20 years I just acquired it from her will. 120k original miles. The factory air bags had been replaced with coil springs. I don’t know a lot about these cars besides basic stuff but it does have factory dual exhaust with h pipe and I can see they use tons of restriction, I’m thinking about getting rid of second set of cats and mufflers and start from there. I wanna go the marauder route with it.
This is a great plan... It will be a very solid one... atre you going 4v or just the Marauder look? either way it will be sweet to see brother.... I hope you video this
thank you forn the sub Shay King.. warning this is a BROKE channel things are done very slow around here lol.. thank you for the sub bro...it means a lot trust me... what type of car you are driving? and what is your dream car? let me know
Chris is right 03 was the change, then they made slighter change again but in height later, but same frame.. They differ with cabs cause they are longer and Lincoln -L is a longer wheel base also
@@87fubar i doubt they are bolt matching but probably close enough for the right mechanic......but not me i.d.k. The channel owner is savvy like that tho he will reply i bet
I have had a 01 P71 for 6 years I like the cable throttle body and analog odometer. This car is built like a tank . I was playing Dukes and hit a curb at 40 mph bent all l 4 steel rims . put new rims on and it was not even out of alinement. . Try that with any other car LOL , They are so easy to work on DIY car last of it's kind and lots of spare parts at pick a part...
I have an 06 but it is a late year build. This thing runs harder than my 92 and my 04. It is a retired State Patrol completely unmarked with the chrome package and silver hubcaps.Just gotta find the right Vic for what ya want it for. It gets at its best 30 MPG on the highway at 65 MPH. Find the history of your Vic and you will get the best ones. BTW I love your vids brother! Always new info.
I have to say the state cars run hard 9 they broken in right ) unlike the city patrol cars... maybe thats it, but i had a city 199 and that ran hard also...It really differs but i love that you guys rep your cars in this way.. you had some rides there jj hardie
@@bstfordchannel923 Yes sir I have . I guess we just get lucky sometimes.LOL. Had this one for 5 years....still runs out pretty dang good. And yeah I think State cars get better treatment being they are out on the highway.
@@jjhardie4101 agreed thats why you have gem brother a great car to start off with.. i need a state car.. all of mine have been Patrol cars.. around the corner , park, idles , chase , hit a curb, stop, slam into park, chase again.
What good bro? Been a while. I have an 07 and i hate it. It has the weird grinding/hissing sound when i accelerate but it's intermittent. Not sure of it's the transmission or something else. I heard the 09s and up are much better. Might be the move come tax season.
well does this noise happen when you drive it or when it idles and you can rev it and hear the noise... 1st it may be your rear axle bearings going bad or trans ( very typical )...
yeah i really think its the rear the seals leak slow and then it grinds and such... 3 out panthers had a real sel leak or rear leak ( mainly ) the newrs ones not the 1999
I had an 04 bout 3 yrs ago an now i have an 06. Its just something about that 04 dat i fell in love with but i have yet 2 loose a street race in my stock 06 against any other crown vic. Idk its real hard to choose
Partial to 07 only because that’s what I got. Battery drains fast so using trickle charger every night. Got it zip tied under hood for quick hook up out of grill. Actually have 3 of my cars like that. Pretty sure when police stripped it out they left a bare power wire somewhere. Just can’t find it.
yeah you have to look some of my cars where drawing power sometimes its the alt bad.. power goes to the alt it may be arcing slightly ( maybe )... I like the 07 to, but mainly the 08 1999
Need your expertise I’m looking in to 2011 crown Vic LX the vin# has BP7 dual exhaust with 100,000 miles and a 2008 crown Vic vin # p71 with 60,000 miles What’s better???
The lx is more of the rare it depends on the price and you end result... The lx is more classy so if you like that vibe well go with that... also have to factor in the price also... which on cost and which one cost less
I own three of them. My 2008 Lx runs fine 136 000 miles already. The only thing that I see now is a small leak coming from the intake manifold and the only other thing that bothers me is that they sit kind of low in the rear. I am going to try to install those spring extenders with the small bolts to raise up the cars.
Funny you said the 99 ran hard cus I drove a99 marquis that did as well. I’ve had an 09- and a 11 vic. Both the same in quality and performance. My current 11 has been good. As for my favorite years I’d prefer to have a mint condition 2004 But really I’m not too picky. Because I was under 18 in 2011 so I feel like they all were cars of my youth. I haven’t checked out a 98-99 vic. So I’m not sure on the vibe on those
1999 vic runs i have no clue ( and how ) really but they did... the 06 Lincoln ran harder than the Crown vic ( go figure ? ) I like the 2004 also... I have some cool plans coming up for my vics and such. Glad to here that the 09 and 2011 vic where the same... This is great info Va,,, I have some plans for this vic i am Turboing .. I just have to stay focus on the car and see it all the way through.. I may get a new set of wheels maybe..
The 1999 non pi motors felt slow because they had the lowest hp figure but where all the nonpi parts were perfected in that year was the torque figure. My 99 towncar started life with only 215hp but almost 300lb/ft of torque which was what made them feel right. You were right about the advanced timing. The lincolns used that which also limited them to high octane fuel They're not fast, they're torque hulks for what they were
I will have to side with everything you said RYAN very strange that a tune will wake a car up so much that is different..I like the 1999 towncar ( i had one to ) they are very good cars ahh man I like that year
Hey man, what do you think about the older square body style Fords? I've started seeing a lot of videos of those with suped up 351s in them. You don't see them around here but they interest me.
Had a 91 CVPI with a 5.0, was a USPS Police mail truck escort and then a safety patrol car for a school bus company. Good solid car, gave it away to a nephew going away to college when I got my 04.
for me the best one is the 04 because it has none of the issues that the 98-03 cars have but it has the cable throttle body so it's better for tuning. I also think that 08-11 were the next best because they were essentially the same car and they had ironed out all the other issues. My 08 Crown vic is an incredible machine and I love that thing from top to bottom it is the perfect daily for me. I'm still learning more about it but I can't think of another car I'd rather have at this point in time.
2011 because I don’t think you can go wrong with the very last ones. By then Ford had made it perfect and knew it was the famous final scene. Why not go out on top? And besides, if you’re going to get one of these, why not aim for the newest one?
true what you are speaking ( you can aim on top ) but you may have disgruntle employees that may say f it ( thats how they roll ) in the states.. They made these in Canada so the employees are a lot nicer lmao.. A lot of people have different spins on what years ( are the best ) and what they can do and FEEL.. Many guys can not afford the 2011 they are still at 4k and up...even though 4k aint no money ( many guys ) that buy vics are on a budget thus why they want the best for less B3burner... I do agree on what you are saying though it makes sense ..
I do like my 03 quite alot. I will immediately change a drive by wire system. Hate it. My wife had a 05 explorer. The drive by wire system failed and the car drove into the back of the car infront of it. P.O.S. NO DRIVE BY WIRE!!!
thats what i scared about the drive by wire system ( the what ifs ) the cable if it snaps well it aint that bad ( in theory ) as long as your wife is ok thats what matters William , f dat drive by wire dude...I have down for the 03 brother..
I have a retired police car it's a 04 I was planning on making a lowrider out of it but I keep hearing the aluminum sub frame will fold in and wire wheels won't fit I need to know is there any Lincoln or different model that I can replace the aluminum parts with without any serious hassles or problems and what I can do to be able to put some wires on it I can't find any info on this can you help
what type of low ride ( real dancing one ) or just hitting switches... click this ( channel and ask him the lowrider questions on a panther ) Fuzzy ruclips.net/channel/UCqfEfll2MWRqM251l_6tpcw tell him I set ya..
@@robblowe8525 yes they are the same BUT they seem a bit longer ( I can be wrong ) I have to check the wheel bases from model to model... It would stupid of Ford to change the length .. I am almost sure its the same
I have a 2010 interseptor E-85 this bitch will fly came stock with 40 pound injectors A-1 tune cast iron block bigger cams and valves j- mode shift kit shifts from second to third at 83 mph handles like a sports car. Had to put good year ice tires on rear to get some traction. 235/55/17
I have a 2011 and often feel like it's in the wrong gear. Maybe it's the drive by wire or just needs a Marty tune but I'm going to find a nice 2004 to test drive. Also my 2011 is giving off a hum coming from the rear in the mornings maybe axle bearings are bad?
yup axle bearing is going its typical Burmesebeef... I i have 2 2004 panthers i really do like them.. yes you may need a tune.. My car takes off slow at times like its in 2nd or something very odd... You are not alone bro
I have an 07 and had an 08. Love them both. Just dropped a new transmission in the 07. The 08 donated it lol. I've got two videos up if want to fall asleep 😂🤣 a third coming soon
i had a 10 gm, 07 p71, now a 10 p7b. gm had 60k mi smoothest motor ever. the 07 felt thinner, tighter and smaller, more agile, but had 195k mi and the trans slipped in 2nd. the 2010 has now 130k and feels much bigger wider and boatier than the 07 no clue why. runs strong but sounds kinda tired at idle even after tune up. personally like the 2010 for the window and lock buttons lmao.
I've had them all and I've had fun with them but I am selling all my crown Victoria's and going back to classic cars I am tired of driving a car that that promotes police even thou u can change them I just enjoy classic cars that's my flavor tomarow someone is coming for my 06
oh wow you had them all ? never knew that 1 bob? you know more than the average Crown vic owner which are the best suited ( in your eyes )... I want to do the classics also.. these why my tail was wagging for the rusty a$$ Torino. I felt that way ( promoting police ) by buying a crown vic, but a lot police wave ( WAVE ) like I am on the job.. Its a different feel vs when I drove a Bmw with gold chains all on my neck ( no job ) lol ... a very different feeling Bob semi-safer when rolling around through towns that ( does really ) ahhhh accept the aesthetics of person thats driving said vic.. So what are you planes as far as a classic car ( types ) and such that you are eyeing up Bob
I am on my second 07 and see a marked difference in performance between the 2. One has better off the line acceleration and braking and handling than the other. Comparisons are difficult because for the CVPI, we are all driving a used vehicle. For me, one car had high idle hours and was heavily worn with less highway mileage compared to a much lower idle hours car but higher mileage. And we must acknowledge, some of these cars were totally abused by the police. Very few cream puffs out there today but these items make comparisons difficult. I always watch your videos, you do a great job. 👍
thank you for the info and the support.. you make a GREAT POINT on the miles and the usage of said Crown Vc or Vics in question.. Ity does make it hard to gauge which one is the best, but you get a collective amount of info you can come close to which on is better vs another ( in some cases ).. This was a great spin to the subject Greg k
My parents had a used 1998 crown vic and used it hard! The suspension completely broke after a while so It made it so that every time it would hit a small bump it would bottom out on one point or another🤣 also since it was a heavier car if you turned sharply and hit a pothole ,even at parking lot speeds, the ball joint would go. Still, it was an all around great car as it took all the abuse my family threw at it with minimal repairs and still ran well. Only thing that took it out was getting T-Boned at a traffic light😆
Great story Julia sorry about the t bone at traffic light I hope the family was ok from that, but it was a great story UNTIL the crash... i really thank you for sharing
For what its worth my own CVPI is an '04 I got in '07 with 85k and as of this post its my daily runner with 226k, major issue expensively corrected was a corroded rack 'n pinion and steering shaft from service with a Department in the snowy northeast where roads are salted and I was there until 2013. Like the car and will keep driving it and fixing it until the wheels fall off and the mechanics cant do anything with it anymore.
@@bstfordchannel923 Got started with collecting cop cars from a late Uncle who drove in with a '74 ISP Monaco bluesbrothersmobile for a visit and had to fly back home in a hurry to take care of emergency business. Left the car with me in my care as a gift. Later he bought a 'lot' of 76-78 Furies from the state auction and gave every nephew a car. After that I sought out Dodges and Furies of 80s vintages on my own and then got into the CVPIs aftr the 90s. Always keep a cop car in the line up alongside the suvs. A pickup will be next.
I like Trigga Ville choices, my 04' Vick is a nice ride but the 2011, built in 2010 NM State P71 is freaking way faster and quicker off the line :) Besides, any well taken care of Panther is a great ride!
I agree with his also , but that 1999 though lool.. i want a 2011 i really do cause those are the last of the last.. Panthers are a sweet underrated ride

that 199 is a Mean one, all you need ( if its a police version ) is swap in heads with that tune man that care would react.. Cause its lighter than the 03-up
I've heard that the 2003 gets 18 city and 26 highway! Which is crazy! 2008 and up is a really good deal because they use the E 85 high-octane corn oil gas. The 2003 I like because it looks like a Mercury marauder with a stick shift
You car matters bro,, we just have thing for the 1st model year cars normal are not the best. They normally get it right further down the road with the years.. so you car is a sweet ride bro
I've been looking for a year to find something different than a police car in a crown Vic and something newer than my 01 I had for 9 years and sold last March then I came across this 06 Black crown Vic Lx sport with a sunroof believe it or not I couldn't figure out why did Ben had an d third digit turns out unfinished vehicle means had a sunroof I don't know how many they made all together with the sunroof or how many of the 757 and 2006 they made with sunroofs but I've heard that there weren't many so if you really want one keep looking somebody's bound to have one thanks for listening
Got 4 of them 1999is a bad b**ch runs hard topend. 2004 def.the fastest and go 130mph easily 2007 good but not fast 2009 best ride but not fast enough.lol Winner for me👉 2004'👈✌
oh wow this was detailed, so the 1999 does ( run harder ) and 2004 is the fastest and 07 is good , but not fast i will say the 2011 taxi crown was faster or quicker than the 08 police car i have which is odd af..I got you downfor 04 crown vic... that means what i am saying kinda true somehwhat
I have a 1998 Crown Victoria LX, with a 4.6 V8 . An it was a police car because it didn't have ABS sensors on the steering knuckles on the front hubs and it has 4 wheel disc brake all the way around.

@@bstfordchannel923 Yes sir flex fuel , doing the suspension all the way around and ignition coils in next week....I can't wait to see how she runs with the new coils 😎, already got new plugs in her
I’m looking at a 2011 P7B and I was wondering if the power and performance is comparable to the other model years? Thanks!
@@bstfordchannel923 k
I have an 08 and yeah I can see how cops prefer it. Suspension is tight, and the tune is on point for pursuit
yeah the 08 is a GOOD runner for sure bro!
I have a 2010 CVPI and It runs almost perfect, you can take it offroad over curbs and anywhere you want that is realistic. The only problem that I have noticed is when refueling the vehicle the gas pump clicks off even though the car is not full.
thats a vent tube mine does this every now and again also... You are are RIGHT about the vics they are sweet
I have an 07 interceptor and love it. Have had it for over a year and not one single issue yet
You have a sweet Gem there Eddie... Just keep doing what you are doing to the car and it should last!
Owner of a 2005 CVPI with a 137K miles and yes, its the first ever throttle by wire but its very simple and for its age, very responsive! I enjoy this car alot. Its comfortable, it's a sweet ride, spacious, easy to fix and simple to maintain.
100% on all accounts bro! .. The last of the last that people can work on and customize or just leave plain and just drive
for me 06-2011, i'll buy and drive any crown vic ,mercury grand marquis, or town car from 92-2011
I got you down for those years Trigga ... Man thats 99 ( enegine ) was crazy I wish you drove one.. Its was built different.. i like the same years as you 07-08 i have drove the newer ones ONLY a 2011 cab and that seem faster than my 08... I forgot to mention that..
@@bstfordchannel923 man, you bought to make me go find a 1999 crown vic 'lol'
Listen bro you guys have me buying cars lol ... The 1999 is not fast BUT it rolls out seems faster than my 04 no lie
Got a’92 T. Car. Damn thing will last forever!!

GREETINGS Locdog 08 is great i have one this thing makes my life so much easier... i bought the thing for $200 bucks and i just puzzle the thing together very shocked how I did it, but the car is amazing.. I will have to say this is the best car ever built in the present times Locodog

lmao yeah its like that brother Locdog cause of where you at and the car...
IMO any year 04 & up in the SAP mode is the champion. so fucking dope driving a civilian crown vic with all the police upgrades. my car has the velour bench seats, carpet, the dome light & the fire extinguisher. the mix of police goodies with no other police markings is fire!
Thats what its all about the best of both worlds! You ride how you like to ride... Thats the important part Josh... Thank you for sharing this bro thank you
I have had a 1998 crown 👑 for 5 years and I think it's the best out of all the vics
so many did like the 98... i like the 99 I had also... deep down it all depends on the car and owner connection
I did hundreds of 92 and 93 police conversions on these P71's. Light bars, sirens, prisoner screens. Fun job.
Gary you are the cause i do not hink i ca sit don and do this at all
Hey my friend, my '05 has been very good. 'course I had to get the tranny rebuilt. I put aftermarket sway bar bushings, the neoprene ones. That made a big difference in handling. Also changed the rear end lube and put a new 5/16 fuel line vent tube. I change the oil every 3000 miles and have had no issues with this car. Had 79000 miles when I got it. Today it has 144178 and running strong. Thanks for all your info. I always look for your videos because I know I will learn something Everytime. Thanks again.
glad to hear it serves you well ... I have to do the same thing to mind and paint ( the daily Vic ) its really trash now , but i will rebuild it back slow
2001 CVPI here, transmission rebuilt before it was retired. Got it for $750. Runs super good
dats what i am talking about GETTING CARS on the LOW lol I love that... And it rides good you can not beat that Ofc Reece
My Mercury marauder 2003 love it but some trouble and my P71 2011 run like new ! Love your chanel im from Canada
hey what is up there Painmaker138 what is wrong with your Marauder how I wish to have on of those. The p71 are solid and simple they can not be beat
Can you help me please? I had the engine replaced in my 2000 Vic. The replacement engine has the oil filler cap on the passenger side where as my 2000 engine has the cap on the driver side. How can i know the year of the replacement? The worthless shop that installed it was no help.
some engines where Windsors and others where Romeo.. windsors / Canada have 13 and 14 valve cover bolts and the oil filler on passenger side.. count the valve cover bolts. 11 should have been on the other motor Romeo / Michigan
I have an 03 marauder and now I have an 04 grand marquis so I gotta say I like the 03 and up panthers the most. I been reading up on the 4r70w and Ford made a lot of improvements to it over the years. I know what’s inside the 04 trans now but curious what’s in the marauder trans?Chilly up here in Saskatchewan too but I got a garage heater now so I got no excuses. Time to get out there and get at it.
yerah man keep that heater on and keep the mind focus on the price... you have gem on your hands i want one of those myself.. a lot of 03 guys out there that did dig this year..... its chilly here then it rained, ahhhh man the cold just set in rough Canadian Marauder

Yes 2008 I have high octane interceptor two tone blue and white about to paint black
I wanted mine pro painted, maybe one day
05 and i love it. havent gone over 120 mph. i think the 96-- 97 were the fastest. my 96 would get up to 140 easy.i didnt want to go faster. i also ran out of road.- i just passed on a 99. it looked pretty beat up. not somthing would want to go fast in. yah i know we were talking about 98 and up.

I bought a new 2001 CV and had 540,000 miles and running perfect before a drunk driver hit me in the rear. I really thought I would get 1 million miles on that baby. And yes it was a taxi running 24/7. My 2008 has 321,000 right now. I can't seem to get the drivers side valve cover off. Any suggestions?? Do I have to take the brake booster off? I hope not.
the brake booster may have to come out... some body said that they did it with out taking it off (never seen this ) Man you almost got a Millly out of the car. such a shame for that happened bombhead i am very happy you are here ..oh wow your 08 has 300k taht is amazing and wild at the same time you can do it bro you can do it lol... should document that... what is leaking.. i fixed a valve cover leak with out taking it off... mine was leaking though the bolt holes... i just took bolt and the rubber out also.. then clean with break clean and then fill hole with silcone for a day ( thats the key ) and then start it let it idle to help cure the silicone
WOooooowwwww that is awesome. I got a 2008 Lx 131,000 miles I am starting to have a leak from the intake manifold.
Damn 540,000 , I just pick up an 01
With 123,000 . Got to keep mine cherry
I had a 2000 P71 and loved it. Wish I had kept it. According to a video I watched by Mr Random that particular year model was particularly dangerous and responsible for many deadly car crashes due to some recalls they had. But that car would absolutely haul @$$! Ofcourse it had the 3.55 gear with the limited slip. That's why I want to rehear my Mercury.
Speaking of, I cannot seem to find anyone who can do a dyno-tune on it. Kind of aggravating.
I heard some thing about those also,,, somebody should be able dyno that or tune that..you guys all had traction loc I never had aVic ith one lol

That was a real pleasure to watch. 2003 GM silver/black ragtop.
oh thanks Norman for that dude ( means a lot! ) i just shoot from the hip with the videos.. I have down for the 03 GM.. I like the rag top on those vs the Lincoln Tc..
@@bstfordchannel923 Yes. the Lincoln is too bubble-top for the ragtop.
The Merc really does look like a convertible. It squares the car off in back.
'04 Civilian Vic obtained '09 with 97K, now has 161K, all original.
'10 Civilian MGM obtained '18 with 67K, now has 75K, all original.
I like the way the 4R70W tranny, and mechanical throttle body shifts, and drives over my '10.
I like how my '10 sits about 1.5" higher than my '04. The suspension feels a lot stiffer, and more stable. When I'm cruising on the highway with the cruise control, I forget about the electronic throttle body.
I like the digital speedometer, and dash on my '10.
I really want a Town Car L.
Since you you had all these panther YOU can make a very cool video on the difference and the RIDE feel on these cars.. I had vics only and Lincoln no Mercs so have very detailed insight on this matter ...
Now the TownCar night and F n day brother sweet sweet ride brother they really tweak the goodness into the Lincoln
Oh yeah my '10 MGM has more sound deadening material in the door panels, and under the parcel shelf in the trunk. It makes the interior noise levels very quiet, especially when going over bumps, and rough roads.

I've got a gem I own a 99 p71 that came with a 3.55 locker it's now converted into a complete mercury marauder with 4.10 rear gears and but when I first bought it it had the npi 4.6 in it and it ran hard I tuned it and got rid of the top speed limiter and hit 140 with ease. Then the engine blew and I had the opportunity of getting my hands on a 2004 PI head 4.6 and swapped it in and the things ran even harder with that engine and npi pcm I was keeping up with stock marauders in the 1/4 mile so there's your answer to swapping in the PI 4.6 into a 99 p71
MY MAN you did what i wanted to do.... THANK YOU FOR THIS info wow... You really do not understand how much this info means to me personally lmao.. I can sleep not... Now i do have to figure the swap ( $hit ) i do have to do it lol .. This comment is what i was looking for my god.. F N AMAZING 02lsev8 i am in kmy seat floored

I have an 04, overall been a pretty reliable car. Have had issues though. The diff seal went bad along with wheel bearings and u joints. One of the rotors was also warped. Im pretty sure my alternator is also on the way out. Other than that and it needing 2 new rocker panels its been mint. Oh and a small oil leak. Its a love hate relationship at this point. lol
I feel that lol especially when it needs coils and plugs on top of NY rust eating my 06.

great videos..I have 02 MGM LSE (3.27s)..w a Marty Tune it always seems to be up for fun. Built almost like the PIs
Me personally I’ve owned 3 vics a 00,03,04 and I aim for these years because I absolutely hate drive by wire
church i dislike drive by wire also, but its alllllll the crazy with these auto makers... good year of vics you have
I own a 04 LX Sport and a DBW 08 CVPI. Agree, the 04 has much better throttle response and action. I added the 70mm truck throttle body and police snorkel to open up the intake. It still looks stock so passes state smog inspection. DBW is not bad but switching cars shows big difference.
I have an 09 P71. Only other Crown Vic I can compare it to is my 02 LX Sport. Both totally different cars compared to handling.
Which ones better ?
@@TheJustinmclaughlin As for comfort. The LX Sport.
oh yaeh they are night and day on those two cars you have oned WAY different lol... I bet you like the 02 in some weird way..

I will have to agree with ya forgot Lx
I would have to go for quickest suspension. Seems that is the foundation of a great auto. HA HA, see the Mav is still holding it's place out of the weather. Vic is getting more attention right now but that temp will be dropping. Go Mav!
lmao GO Maverick, I have more parts coming in for it... the Vic needs to be moved so i am trying to complete the hot side then drop it on the grown then finish the cold side when car is on the ground.,, The Maverick will go outside for a few then go back in later... Thats the plan in my head
My 2009 P71 is a joy to drive. Acceleration is good (not great starting out) tops out around 135mph. Rides like new, handles tight as it should. Would like to put a posi track rear end in it or some sort of locker. Any suggestions?

do the frames interchange from 98 to 11
No...somewhere like 2003 the frame was changed a bit for suspension geometry...i think
Chris is right 03 was the change, then they made slighter change again but in height later, but same frame.. They differ with cabs cause they are longer and Lincoln -L is a longer wheel base also
i was thinking something like will a 98 body fit say 09 frame

I have had a 01 P71 for 6 years I like the cable throttle body and analog odometer. This car is built like a tank . I was playing Dukes and hit a curb at 40 mph bent all l 4 steel rims . put new rims on and it was not even out of alinement. . Try that with any other car LOL , They are so easy to work on DIY car last of it's kind and lots of spare parts at pick a part...
Very true to have these cars is very easy and very durable as you know lol.... Parts all over the place and the car can run... Its a solid platform
I have an 06 but it is a late year build. This thing runs harder than my 92 and my 04. It is a retired State Patrol completely unmarked with the chrome package and silver hubcaps.Just gotta find the right Vic for what ya want it for. It gets at its best 30 MPG on the highway at 65 MPH. Find the history of your Vic and you will get the best ones. BTW I love your vids brother! Always new info.
I have to say the state cars run hard 9 they broken in right ) unlike the city patrol cars... maybe thats it, but i had a city 199 and that ran hard also...It really differs but i love that you guys rep your cars in this way.. you had some rides there jj hardie

What good bro? Been a while. I have an 07 and i hate it. It has the weird grinding/hissing sound when i accelerate but it's intermittent. Not sure of it's the transmission or something else. I heard the 09s and up are much better. Might be the move come tax season.
well does this noise happen when you drive it or when it idles and you can rev it and hear the noise... 1st it may be your rear axle bearings going bad or trans ( very typical )...
you like the 09 joints i dig them also very sad to hear you do not like your 07 dude
My 07 does that it's more when you hit the gas sounds to me like some police stuff lol but yea definitely the rear end or something
yeah i really think its the rear the seals leak slow and then it grinds and such... 3 out panthers had a real sel leak or rear leak ( mainly ) the newrs ones not the 1999
I had an 04 bout 3 yrs ago an now i have an 06. Its just something about that 04 dat i fell in love with but i have yet 2 loose a street race in my stock 06 against any other crown vic. Idk its real hard to choose
Cars have that thing with them... that the cars are the same , but with 1 car you have a connection and thats what I go for in a car
Partial to 07 only because that’s what I got. Battery drains fast so using trickle charger every night. Got it zip tied under hood for quick hook up out of grill. Actually have 3 of my cars like that. Pretty sure when police stripped it out they left a bare power wire somewhere. Just can’t find it.
yeah you have to look some of my cars where drawing power sometimes its the alt bad.. power goes to the alt it may be arcing slightly ( maybe )... I like the 07 to, but mainly the 08 1999
Need your expertise I’m looking in to 2011 crown Vic LX the vin# has BP7 dual exhaust with 100,000 miles and a 2008 crown Vic vin # p71 with 60,000 miles
What’s better???
The lx is more of the rare it depends on the price and you end result... The lx is more classy so if you like that vibe well go with that... also have to factor in the price also... which on cost and which one cost less
I own three of them. My 2008 Lx runs fine 136 000 miles already. The only thing that I see now is a small leak coming from the intake manifold and the only other thing that bothers me is that they sit kind of low in the rear. I am going to try to install those spring extenders with the small bolts to raise up the cars.
Funny you said the 99 ran hard cus I drove a99 marquis that did as well. I’ve had an 09- and a 11 vic. Both the same in quality and performance. My current 11 has been good. As for my favorite years I’d prefer to have a mint condition 2004 But really I’m not too picky. Because I was under 18 in 2011 so I feel like they all were cars of my youth. I haven’t checked out a 98-99 vic. So I’m not sure on the vibe on those
1999 vic runs i have no clue ( and how ) really but they did... the 06 Lincoln ran harder than the Crown vic ( go figure ? ) I like the 2004 also... I have some cool plans coming up for my vics and such. Glad to here that the 09 and 2011 vic where the same... This is great info Va,,, I have some plans for this vic i am Turboing .. I just have to stay focus on the car and see it all the way through.. I may get a new set of wheels maybe..
The 1999 non pi motors felt slow because they had the lowest hp figure but where all the nonpi parts were perfected in that year was the torque figure.
My 99 towncar started life with only 215hp but almost 300lb/ft of torque which was what made them feel right.
You were right about the advanced timing. The lincolns used that which also limited them to high octane fuel
They're not fast, they're torque hulks for what they were
I will have to side with everything you said RYAN very strange that a tune will wake a car up so much that is different..I like the 1999 towncar ( i had one to ) they are very good cars ahh man I like that year
Hey man, what do you think about the older square body style Fords? I've started seeing a lot of videos of those with suped up 351s in them. You don't see them around here but they interest me.
I am with those 100% i have been looking for so many different type of Fords ( but for the right price ) I really do like them to
Had a 91 CVPI with a 5.0, was a USPS Police mail truck escort and then a safety patrol car for a school bus company. Good solid car, gave it away to a nephew going away to college when I got my 04.
for me the best one is the 04 because it has none of the issues that the 98-03 cars have but it has the cable throttle body so it's better for tuning. I also think that 08-11 were the next best because they were essentially the same car and they had ironed out all the other issues. My 08 Crown vic is an incredible machine and I love that thing from top to bottom it is the perfect daily for me. I'm still learning more about it but I can't think of another car I'd rather have at this point in time.

@@robblowe8525 yes they are the same BUT they seem a bit longer ( I can be wrong ) I have to check the wheel bases from model to model... It would stupid of Ford to change the length .. I am almost sure its the same
I have a 2010 interseptor E-85 this bitch will fly came stock with 40 pound injectors A-1 tune cast iron block bigger cams and valves j- mode shift kit shifts from second to third at 83 mph handles like a sports car. Had to put good year ice tires on rear to get some traction. 235/55/17
I have a 2011 and often feel like it's in the wrong gear. Maybe it's the drive by wire or just needs a Marty tune but I'm going to find a nice 2004 to test drive. Also my 2011 is giving off a hum coming from the rear in the mornings maybe axle bearings are bad?
yup axle bearing is going its typical Burmesebeef... I i have 2 2004 panthers i really do like them.. yes you may need a tune.. My car takes off slow at times like its in 2nd or something very odd... You are not alone bro
@@bstfordchannel923 keep up the good work on the channel, it is very informative yet entertaining
I have an 07 and had an 08. Love them both. Just dropped a new transmission in the 07. The 08 donated it lol. I've got two videos up if want to fall asleep 😂🤣 a third coming soon
cool brother cool i just subbed and watched video keep posting and i am here to support
@@bstfordchannel923 wow man thanks!!!!! I appreciate that!
i had a 10 gm, 07 p71, now a 10 p7b. gm had 60k mi smoothest motor ever. the 07 felt thinner, tighter and smaller, more agile, but had 195k mi and the trans slipped in 2nd. the 2010 has now 130k and feels much bigger wider and boatier than the 07 no clue why. runs strong but sounds kinda tired at idle even after tune up. personally like the 2010 for the window and lock buttons lmao.
you got a great ride thwre brother .... thank you for sharing this story ( in detail )
Any car with the 4r70w trans, definitely the most reliable out of all the transmissions used in the panthers
Liked and subscribed
thank you for the sub bro.... I am on facebook also facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091269607258 you can post your car on our page brother
I've had them all and I've had fun with them but I am selling all my crown Victoria's and going back to classic cars I am tired of driving a car that that promotes police even thou u can change them I just enjoy classic cars that's my flavor tomarow someone is coming for my 06
oh wow you had them all ? never knew that 1 bob? you know more than the average Crown vic owner which are the best suited ( in your eyes )... I want to do the classics also.. these why my tail was wagging for the rusty a$$ Torino.
I felt that way ( promoting police ) by buying a crown vic, but a lot police wave ( WAVE ) like I am on the job.. Its a different feel vs when I drove a Bmw with gold chains all on my neck ( no job ) lol ... a very different feeling Bob semi-safer when rolling around through towns that ( does really ) ahhhh accept the aesthetics of person thats driving said vic.. So what are you planes as far as a classic car ( types ) and such that you are eyeing up Bob
Happy Motoring whatever you prefer the most !
I am on my second 07 and see a marked difference in performance between the 2. One has better off the line acceleration and braking and handling than the other.
Comparisons are difficult because for the CVPI, we are all driving a used vehicle. For me, one car had high idle hours and was heavily worn with less highway mileage compared to a much lower idle hours car but higher mileage. And we must acknowledge, some of these cars were totally abused by the police. Very few cream puffs out there today but these items make comparisons difficult.
I always watch your videos, you do a great job. 👍
thank you for the info and the support.. you make a GREAT POINT on the miles and the usage of said Crown Vc or Vics in question.. Ity does make it hard to gauge which one is the best, but you get a collective amount of info you can come close to which on is better vs another ( in some cases ).. This was a great spin to the subject Greg k
I'm currently looking at a 05 lx sport...what you think?
My parents had a used 1998 crown vic and used it hard! The suspension completely broke after a while so It made it so that every time it would hit a small bump it would bottom out on one point or another🤣 also since it was a heavier car if you turned sharply and hit a pothole ,even at parking lot speeds, the ball joint would go. Still, it was an all around great car as it took all the abuse my family threw at it with minimal repairs and still ran well. Only thing that took it out was getting T-Boned at a traffic light😆
Great story Julia sorry about the t bone at traffic light I hope the family was ok from that, but it was a great story UNTIL the crash... i really thank you for sharing
For what its worth my own CVPI is an '04 I got in '07 with 85k and as of this post its my daily runner with 226k, major issue expensively corrected was a corroded rack 'n pinion and steering shaft from service with a Department in the snowy northeast where roads are salted and I was there until 2013. Like the car and will keep driving it and fixing it until the wheels fall off and the mechanics cant do anything with it anymore.
thats how you roll you still save money with the car doing what you do. I really love there cars
@@bstfordchannel923 Got started with collecting cop cars from a late Uncle who drove in with a '74 ISP Monaco bluesbrothersmobile for a visit and had to fly back home in a hurry to take care of emergency business. Left the car with me in my care as a gift. Later he bought a 'lot' of 76-78 Furies from the state auction and gave every nephew a car. After that I sought out Dodges and Furies of 80s vintages on my own and then got into the CVPIs aftr the 90s. Always keep a cop car in the line up alongside the suvs. A pickup will be next.
2001 all the way!👌👌
I GOT YOU DOWN FOR THE 2001 lol Domincano
I see NJ tags ? :-) My fav patrol car was my 06. She was a beast !!!!!!
Got me ultra clean '99 Vic (non P.I.)
I am in NJ i love my 99 i had but had to upgrade tp 04 and 08... Where are you from bro?
I like Trigga Ville choices, my 04' Vick is a nice ride but the 2011, built in 2010 NM State P71 is freaking way faster and quicker off the line :) Besides, any well taken care of Panther is a great ride!
I agree with his also , but that 1999 though lool.. i want a 2011 i really do cause those are the last of the last.. Panthers are a sweet underrated ride
@@bstfordchannel923 My 2011 Panther is a daily driver... love the reliability and ease of maintenance! Still miss my old daily driver, 1971 Galaxie500.... Do have plans to put it back on the road but it'll run $10K to $15k to do it right... As a bad a$$ monster sleeper :)!
I want a 2011 version , but I would like to see what i can get my hands on.. I have to really get close with this yard ( where the Torino is ) he has the hook up for the newer stuff COYOTES I need to really buy stuff from him BIG STUFF.. He has a old school yard thats wayyyyyyy down the lower end of Jersey where he has the Galaxie and such..I just have to buy a few things ( and be steady )
@@bstfordchannel923 Bro, there's a yard north of Gallup, New Mexico that is chuck full of 1960's and 70's all Fords! Cars, Trucks and mostly rust free! There's another yard in Las Vegas, NM with tons of trucks... and dozens of High Boys :) I'm sure there's a rust free Torino out here somewhere!
@@danielmcqueen1024 dude man I have to get out more and get a trailer... I really need to... Sucks I am not cross country mobile at the moment.. when the channel grows I will be

oh wow thank you for that man i am about to do a chevy video on the chevy cars i like form old school to present time... I roll with Ford but there are some chevys that have to be rep and also dodge to... thank you for this comment brother Lt1
I second this comment
BST Ford Channel no problem keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thank you bro you guys help me a lot
I’m thinking about selling my 2010 P7B . Black with police equipment. Just under 200,000 miles. North Texas
I drive an 09 SAP and its a beast! I love it 🤟
My 2000 is the shit I’ve had it 9 years and only recently replaced the transmission
Judy you have a GREAT ride!... Just keep that car running!
All the Panthers cars are all good but undoubtedly the 2011Crown Vic...I have 2011 LX P74 E.. a true interceptor no markings no badges beautiful car, chirps the snow tires in second gear on dry ground
Does it mean that I fucked up i have a 09
Nah mike you have a great car ( Vic Nerds ) like me just think certain years are better than others ( some are fact ) but not edged in stone
I have a 07 Merc and a 03 police Vic,love them both,03 seems quicker.
iwhat is crazy my 06 Lincoln towncar seem faster that my 2008 Police car..
I got a ‘99 love it tbh
that 199 is a Mean one, all you need ( if its a police version ) is swap in heads with that tune man that care would react.. Cause its lighter than the 03-up
2007 P71
I will put you down on the next 2 videos
I have a 2009
right on bro!
I've heard that the 2003 gets 18 city and 26 highway! Which is crazy! 2008 and up is a really good deal because they use the E 85 high-octane corn oil gas. The 2003 I like because it looks like a Mercury marauder with a stick shift
I have a 2005 crown vic with full police package with 95,000 miles on it
Those are sweet the rarest police Vic!
My 98 isn’t trash my baby never let me down
You car matters bro,, we just have thing for the 1st model year cars normal are not the best. They normally get it right further down the road with the years.. so you car is a sweet ride bro
Have a 2008 with SAP. Fools a lot of people.
I know thats so crazy people still have that ( fear of the car ) even when the car is out of service in most police departments ..
2011 was a great year for the Crown Victoria, as all the prior year issues had been resolved-(In Theory)
Right! I will have to agree just the cost for the car is little up there
I love my Black 06 Sport
the sport is sweet i need 1
I've been looking for a year to find something different than a police car in a crown Vic and something newer than my 01 I had for 9 years and sold last March then I came across this 06 Black crown Vic Lx sport with a sunroof believe it or not I couldn't figure out why did Ben had an d third digit turns out unfinished vehicle means had a sunroof I don't know how many they made all together with the sunroof or how many of the 757 and 2006 they made with sunroofs but I've heard that there weren't many so if you really want one keep looking somebody's bound to have one thanks for listening
@@gregoryparisi440 you pick a winner Parisi i like that version . The car is so slick as it , it gives you a real sport feel on those... Great score!
@@bstfordchannel923 sometimes you just get lucky
I have a 2009 crown vic p71 i hit 150mph with no problem.
right on may guys do the best car hands down that you can buy right now for 2k and run over a Honda
Yes sir 👍 love your channel
The Last year or so was probably the best. I think they had better rear ends
i can side with that , but many will say different which is always odd

Got 4 of them 1999is a bad b**ch runs hard topend. 2004 def.the fastest and go 130mph easily
2007 good but not fast 2009 best ride but not fast enough.lol Winner for me👉 2004'👈✌
oh wow this was detailed, so the 1999 does ( run harder ) and 2004 is the fastest and 07 is good , but not fast i will say the 2011 taxi crown was faster or quicker than the 08 police car i have which is odd af..I got you downfor 04 crown vic... that means what i am saying kinda true somehwhat
My 07 run like a champ
right on bro... glad to hear she still running
I have a 98 civilian base with 79000 miles
