This is freaking awesome! I had been wondering about its fate and I am glad it is gonna continue to roam the plains in search of insane weather! You guys are lucky to have the great old tornado tank!
Yeah I would buy (tiv1) if Sean Casey Would sale it!!! Yeah it will better in your hands gabriel q then Sean. He has no respect for ( tiv 1) Sean gives too much credit to (tiv2) Sean Casey better get use to it if he likes it or not (tiv1) is the world's first Tornado Intercept vehicle not (tiv2)! And why does he call (Tiv2) the Tornado Intercept vehicle it's not the Tornado Intercept vehicle he keeps on forgetting (Tiv1) one is the Tornado Intercept vehicle!!(tiv2) is the second Tornado Intercept vehicle not the first! And what the hell is wrong with Sean Casey he won't put (tiv1) in a museum if he's not going to do that sell it!
So did Sean do any performance upgrades to the TIVs engine because that particular year 7.3 had a few things choking it back like the mechanical fuel pump and the tiny turbo. If the TIV was built on a 7.3 super duty chassis a lot of that stuff wouldn't be an issue.
Lack of maintenance is the biggest failure point. Not changing oils or brake services. The low ground clearance means u need a pit to service it regularly
Sean made a second film, but TIV2 was retired in 2013. From what I heard, TIV1 kept breaking down, and it just clunked so much that they just left it on a kansas farm somewhere... all good things must come to an end.
@@starprimusgaming83 I found this Twitter post: facebook.com/AStormofPassion/posts/tiv-1-being-rescued-for-the-new-owner-robert-gilstrap-and-will-join-tiv-2-where-/147709270075016/ from this year (2020) that said that TIV1 will be taken from its' current place at said farm and be given to someone named "Robert Gilstrap", who I DON'T think also owns TIV2 despite what the post says, according to Wikipedia TIV2 is now owned by storm chaser Ryan Shepard. Still, it does seem as though TIV1 hasn't been forgotten and will most likely be restored, and maybe even put back into service.
For those of ya who may be confused this was posted in 2012 this probably happened months before Sean abandoned it on that farm* rn it is in some garage waiting to be fixed……(2023) status*
Don't know. Man I wish he told me. He said the motor blew and it was like the 3rd motor he put in the thing so he just left it there and called it good.
C.T. Productions The Dominator 3 and TIV both have Ford Superduty chassis. If TIV 1 is still in decent shape considering the 100s of intercepts and rust, they pretty much are both safe.
The TIV1 was my childhood and I would kill to drive it.
mee to xd
Same😊
we all would
Yeah
3:45 little did we know...
This video was made literally 6 months before the romney obama elections. That seems like yesterday holy shit.

you gotta love the good ole 7.3 powerstroke diesel this thing has.
i like it like that :)
Yep got to love that 7.3 L Powerstroke V8 with 400 horsepower in that armored 14000 lb tank
@@xx_ironman77_xx1 lol a 7.3 stock has 215 or 250 deoending on the year
@@robertellion1873 ye Maybe what's how many miles a vehicle has on it probably makes that horsepower right now
At least NOW I know what happened to TIV1.
I hope he gives it a few upgrades & some TLC...
...that machine is going to an important part of American history in the very near future..

It was left there to rust when ti v 2 took its place
Tiv is currently in private hands of a guy who plans to chase with it again he hasn’t posted any updates in a while about it though
what i saw is hes removed all the windows and he plans on painting it black and removing the spikes
I like TIV 1. It's the first of its kind. And it's a Ford too. I do own a 95 F150. So go TIV 1
tiv 2 is a dodge ram 3500 with cummins in it
actually its a 1997 450 because its a diesl stick

MrNotorius5500 Don't know but Casey claimed it makes 400 horsepower.
I heard something about it the original motor throwing a rod, so I guess that's why sean abandonded it.
It was built on an F450

I would pay a lot for that car
And now he is the new owner of TIV2...lol
So, did you buy the TIV 1? Or is Sean still chasing and maybe using it for a second vehicle for a second film?

@@jmstudios457 TIV 2 was retired in 2017 and sold lol, TIV 1 had blown its third engine so they ditched it where it was then sold to someone

you guys should take both tivs out on a storm chase at the same time you can a twister better and film more
and upgrade tiv 1 to make it alot more better
Awsome
How many miles are on TIV 1 as of this vid?
i want the TIV
Isn't TIV 1 abandoned on a farm in Kansas now?
Sean Pinder wait it is?
Or so I hear. I spoke to Sean Casey himself and asked about it.
Not anymore, he raffled it off recently, and someone else owns it now for the cost of storage.
@@jestertech3790 do you know when or where
@@starprimusgaming83 I know, search up: A tour of TIV 1, somebody has it from the farm because it was a scavenger hunt event and Sean put out clues.
Is this the actually it?!
epic
What was that second music?
Where is this located now?
Kansas farm
sold so someone else, it was taken off a farm
What happended to it?
I have been wondering for years.
I spoke to Sean Casey himself. He said it's abandoned at some farm in Kansas.
(With a devious look on my face I say) What farm?
Don't know. Man I wish he told me. He said the motor blew and it was like the 3rd motor he put in the thing so he just left it there and called it good.
Chevyblock 550 wow, I kinda want to find her and take her inside one more tornado
If I gave u a Vehicle to work on I wouldn't want u driving around in it, I would want it to be worked on...
driving it is part of the diagnosis process.
and he was driving it to colorado from cali.
That thing hauls ass for 14,000 pounds
yo send it to me
Im pretty sure the TIV 1 would fly away...
Well it would stand a better chance than any of Reed Timers Vehicles.
Jack J Sorry, but the Dominator 3 is superior.
Not to mention TIV1 is a 8-ton piece of junk now.
