My Ford Taurus interceptor 2014 has a back up camera , cruise control , side mirror sensors other features too much to list I only paid 8k with 54k miles
Mine is the same car, but has none of these features lol
@grm0x4q12 u could tho you just have the base model. You would have to get the fully loaded one.
Polecat also got me into retired interceptors and was my inspiration for getting my 2010 CVPI.
Hey let's play cops and robbers
I recently purchased a 2017 Ford Taurus se for $9,000 out the door with 106,000 no issues absolutely love it
I Paid $6500 for my 2014 3.7 L V6 AWD White Taurus Interceptor. It had 135k miles but all highway miles as it was a former Pennsylvania State Police car and PA is a huge state. You will get good and bad attention with it. Good is that you will feel safer driving it since everyone stops for you at Stop signs or even give you right of way when it's theirs or u won't get cut off or they will let you merge in and out of traffic without issue. Bad is if you drive thru a shady area you get looks from people who are guilty of something or up to no good.
I just started the ball rolling today on possibly my first police interceptor. White 2010 Ford Crown Victoria with 61,000 miles. Origionally a southern car. No rust. Cruise control. Single spot light and Setina Push Bar.
unmarked cvpi I’m going to look at my first cvpi tonight
Yes I love ❤️ the push bar
Buy a cop car for X amount and go to a scrap yard and get the upgrades for about $200 to $800. Still cheaper. I bought a 2003 cvpi for $600(cad) and upgraded it for $400(cad). It had 138,893km on it. Civilian model of same year and about the same mileage at the time was minimum $2500(cad).
If you bought a cop car why would you go to the junkyard and upgrade it? When its already upgraded?
Jay Byrd, interior is what I was after. I put cruise in and a console with leather seats. I also found an am/fm/cassette/CD player and factory amp with sub and external 12 pack player that was factory from a Lincoln. I had fun modding my Vic. Plus I even changed the grille to a chrome one. I beat more mustangs, vettes, chargers, challengers and camaros than I did before I changed the grille. IF you cannot have fun with a Vic, then let the real men have fun.
Cabcabs1218 why in the world would you put am fm cassett player or 8 track player or cd player for crying out lol! But if it floats your boat cool!
But i agree with the leather seats though it just seems you have to be lucky to find some in good condition like free from weather defects because ive been looking myself for seats but most are trashed from the junkyards i have available from were im from
*I bet even after this video,* someone is still going to call *the regular Crown Victoria a p71,*
then they'll say *it's all the same,* as I cry a little bit inside
Right? My civillian model was a p74 and i believe the lwb taxi car is p70
Such a beauty, I own a Chevy impala police interceptor thinking about picking this up
MosTechHelp Im thinking about making this my next car.
I own this same color car 2014 3.7 L V6 AWD but with a Setina push bar. It drives and looks great. You'll love it. Don't get the twin turbo 3.5 because it will guzzle gas and we have those in my Dept.
doesn't the 3.5 v6 ecoboost taurus with AWD get 16 city 25 highway?
Beware of steering rack replacement ptu failure and water pump failure. Ive had two of these three problems
I just got 2014 Taurus police interceptor last will for $2300 with 140000 miles on it at auction. No issues, no engine light. Everything was well kept. Took it in for inspection and everything was good according to the mechanic. Just did oil change and bought brand new tires. Went to junk yard and brought rear seats and rear door panels for $65. Best investment ever... Engine is so powerful.
The cop Taurus can take 75mph impact if lucky urs doors have bullet proof doors
Do you really want to be rear ended at 75 mph ?
75 mph head-on collision ?
Your delusional Sir
Shortly after beginning this video, I fell into a trance and didn't hear anything you rambled on and on about.
You remind me of my wife.
I agree. He needs to find a cohesive thought and stick with it.
@@zone03 I think you meant "coherent"
Awwwww
@@stephenryder1995google the word cohesive.
I purchased 5 police impalas...love how they drive and hug the road but prepare to always having transmission issues. My research shows that its common problem with impalas
I prefer basic features......you have less to fix when they break.
I just bought this car! 2015 3.7 liter. Love it! I need a center console and the back doors dont open from the inside but I'll fix it up. So much power!
3.5? Dont think they make a 3.7
@@vinnyschuld7565 2015 they did. Pretty much the same motor out of the mustang
2 years ago, I bought a 2017 3.7 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. Only had 2 drivers during Police service. I've never had any problems.
How many miles?
Only 5000 idle hours, that’s a lot of idle time. I had a 08 P71 street appearance edition and it had 1500 idle hours to 90,000 miles. What nobody ever tells you that idle on hot summer days that hard on the car.
Chris Bergquist ... why police package included super duty cooling and special cooling fans.
And it’s a lot better than -10 degrees cold starts , remember 90% of engine wear occurs on cold starts
@@chadrafferty8345 your delusional
idling is engine wear
Start up is engine wear
Running is engine wear
Accelerating is engine wear
Your logic is engine wear 😂😂
Are you sure that’s idle hours and not total engine hours? I understand that PISs display both. 5000 total engine hours for around 88k miles would sound about right. Makes it around 18 mph average driving speed or a neighborhood patrol unit, most likely.
I could afford a civilian model but I really like the look of interceptors so o got a Taurus and Explorer and very happy with both
They are for just about every reason and they come with a idling timer. Ima get one. I found a place with some sweet 6L Caprices.
civ versions of both look like grandfather vehicles.
I know it's been many moons but these interceptors are actually specd at 300hp 3.7 whereas the civilization SHO model specs at 365 eco twin turbo with a 3.5
I wouldn't say they're better but like the civilian versions they have their pros and cons. Considering that you spend most of the time inside your car and not outside looking at it so I really like a nice, comfortable interior. These PI versions interiors leave a lot to be desired as they pretty much lack everything. How about you take all the money you saved and buy a wrecked Taurus SHO from copart and put the SHO interior in your PI version?
I hate coming outside with neighbors sneaking around my windows nervously looking at my odometer and I wave 👋 only to see them walk away
I enjoy the taurus sho interior alot more but that's personal preference, and alot of the cop upgrades were incorporated into the sho if I remember right
the PIS Carries More when it comes down to Robustness and frame stiffness due to box steel crash beams across the rear floorpan and Heavier duty suspension components and a steel skid pan unserneath the vehicle lending to even more structural rigidity
the SHO with perf pack has all the PI forged internals.....and can easily have100 more HP with tune. but also heated cooled massaging seats lol.
I knew as soon as i heard polecats intro on one of your vids i found someone who knew about gta rp.
My dream car is a black Crown Vic with push bar and spotlight now I am a volunteer fireman in my hometown and in my state it is legal for a volunteer firefighter to use a blue light however if I do get a Black Crown Vic I'm not 100% sure it be such a good idea to use my blue light what do you think I should do?
It depends on your state.
Where did you get your center console? I just bought a 2014
You will get a push bar for the Taurus right?
The only reason why an Ex-Cop car would never really be in my market is mainly the fact that i know that most cops don’t baby them, its like a rental if it breaks so what its not out of your pocket, other then the potential abuse these vehicles can suffer pretty much everything else is a bonus to me
After 2 hours of looking at the fuse box and I realized there's one that just says generator
Like you I sold my 2010 OPP Crown Vic with 140000km and got a 2013 RCMP 3.5L Ford Police Interceptor Sedan with 60000km but I really miss my Vic.
so when they decommission these police cars they still keep the bullet-resistant glass or exchange it for Civi Glass
The glass is the same no matter what model you choose whether it's civilian or a police model. Not all pursuit rated cars have bulletproof door panels.
They only remove police gear, equipment, GPS trackers, weapons & they do not come with any special windshields & not guaranteed to have bullet proof doors. They might have special glass / plastic for rear doors only
That Taurus interceptor is sweet looking dude. I heard they have a high output 3.7L 24V DOHC engine which is the upgraded version of what my 2010 Fusion Sport has and essentially the same as the new Mustangs. But I bet this is even more powerful due to NO speed governor.
new vs new, a police version of any vehicle is stronger and better performing. used vs used, stay far away from police vehicles. Thats like buying a car from a teenager. Its been run VERY hard, and it doesnt matter how much maintenance you do it still has far more wear&tear than a regular vehicle.
i was dumb enough to buy a p71 on 2 different occasions, never again lol. I have no problem working on a car myself, i can rebuild engines and swap out any parts needed on a car, but i get tired of doing it every damn week on these fords. Not hating on ford specifically, most ex-police vehicles will nickel&dime you to death
You right specially on cars with a considerable amount of miles also itt depends the officer who drove the car many of them drive nice but others doesn't care .. you need to inspect and drive the car for at least 30 or 40 minutes to notice any noise etc etc
Finally found a good video on the interceptor. Thank you! All the other ones were just dudes that bought em and had no idea about them.
See I like my vic, but I wanted something bigger so I bought a 2011 Tahoe SSV. Which means sadly I can’t keep my vic due to the lack of room in my driveway.......
Damn, you paid 10K cash? Shit, I need whatever job you've got, lol.
Did you look into forscan? You can do cool shit like toggle the dark mode, add remote start etc
So I'm part of the civilian taurus club with the SHO and I won't say the price I got it for cuz it will hurt some feelings. Let's just say it was a steal(Peter griffin voice🤣). But no seriously guys I'm going to buy a PI taurus as well just not sure which one yet but you are definently a bad influence cuz now I want it even more now. But just a tip for a lot of you PI owners. If you want it to have a lot of the interior shit swapped for the low, go to your local pick-n-pull but you have to get there as soon as the car comes in to your local one. They get stripped down quickly. But for example I stripped down a 2013 limited and took the speedometer, dvd/cd receiver, and touch screen monitor. Could've took the whole console all the way down to the cup holders if I wanted to. I resell them but it's a way to get cheap shit for taurus.
Spent less than 200 on all that and I had a side mirror as well(heated) as well as some trim peices for my personal car which they let me have for free
From the side angles I can see the holes in the grill
Steven Curiel yea that was from the pushbar, which eventually I will buy and put back on
I may be wrong but the engine bay, in this car, does look a bit different from the civilian version.
They are built better than the others and the lights can be used for delivering food at night via GrubHub or DoorDash LOL. You can get the mechanical parts for the civilian models but the engines are the same which is sad becasue of the issues with the 3.5 and 3.7 liter. Many well equipped police stations have the funds to keep these serviced more than a civilian version. It really forces Ford to build there cars better the Fusion and the Taurus are police cars in my location. I owned a white Civilian Fusion with dark tent....many people confused it for a police car and would slow down.
I worked for the parks dept in my town and the police car's always had routine maintenance because they were emergency vehicle's and yes they got beat on
I like both but in the end it prefer the civilian. Not as beat up and mostly FWD as I don't wanna deal with ptu issues in awd. It's 288hp 3.5 has similar 0-60
I realize this was a few years back but for that price you should've bought the TT Ecoboost. Much higher performance.
One downside however, they are harder to sell once you own one. You are correct on all the other stuff though
There is a rare model of the interceptor's that cops use, the Taurus SHO.. 3.5L direct-injected Twin-turbo, Eco-boost V6 producing 365 hp at 5500 rpm and 350 lb⋅ft of torque at 1500-5250 rpm...... Only seen a couple in my area
And they have a ton of issues. Most police departments have the 3.7 V6.
Hey notorious cvpi, I recently got my first interceptor, a 07 p71 mainly because of your videos and a few others... I was wondering what phone mount you use in your interceptor sedan (Taurus) cause I'm having trouble finding one that'll work well. Thanks for the help!!!!
That P71 Life got it on eBay, it’s a IPad Mini cupholder mount made by ChargerCity
I have a police interceptor 2013 it very fast and good that’s the best car event
The only difficult thing I need for him is the center console
I just bought and I am looking forward to driving it
Am saving for one now, can’t wait!
Maintenance. Enough said.
Or the dealer made it look good to sell quickly....but yeah it was totally papered all of its life
Hey man, I enjoy your channel and I agree with your opinion too regarding why a PI is better than a civilian model. Keep it up and keep those vid's coming! -Chris
Did you plan on getting tint
Deandre Lucas yes very soon
Would just get a SHO over the interceptor
i just picked up a 2013 ford ex police utility police suv white i love the truck
I bought mine back in Nov and have yet to get it a center console... where did you get yours pls and thank you and what is the model number for it, Thanks in Advance
You sound just like my older brother. It would be great if you did a point by point of the specs like trans oil cooler which is tow pac on civil. And what realy makes PI better, mine is 14'. I call it ATTITUDE.
What do you suggest for a center console?
Great video! may I ask where did you get your armrest and hows the fitment? Thanks
Where did you get that center console? looks great.
5000 idle hours!!! That's about 300,000 miles of engine wear alone.
Monster RAM that's about 165K idle hours. Ford goes by 33 miles for one hour
Idle hours are not as bad as in previous older models , the computer takes that into consideration when triggering the “Change oil light”. 3K miles with a lot of idle time , 10K with no idle highway use.
There's no hard calculation for idle hours to mileage, mostly because there are way too many variables to get an accurate estimate. You can find anywhere from 1:10 past 1:60 and yes, Ford estimates about 1:33, however; I figured on the high side since it was a police cruiser that has obviously seen plenty of street time. Either way, this is an enormous amount of extra engine wear. Even with your 165k estimate, add in the 64K actual mileage and you've got nearly 230,000 on an engine designed for a domestic passenger car, not severe duty. It doesn't matter that the computer considers idle time into when it illuminates the "change oil" light. That is doing nothing to prevent the normal wear on the rotating mechanisms. 5,000 hours x 1,000 RPM at idle and you have an engine with 300,000,000 more revolutions of wear on the cam, crank, rings, bearings, cylinder bore, etc, etc.
But hey, don't let me stop you guys from spending your money buying beat service vehicles.
Monster RAM .... This car is just getting broken In ,
Monster RAM I mean, I've heard these Tarus's along with most modern fords are pretty reliable. 230k in simulated wear is certainly a lot, but perhaps not the end of the vehicles life.
What year model? I have a 2013
Love ya! I’m thinking of getting a cvpi. What should I look for at auction?
At least with the PIS you can effectively get a SHO Taurus for a third of the price and I’d wager it weighs less as well, making it faster. Sounds like a bargain to me.
not to mention the 3.5TT + laptop is 100 HP and 100 TQ more than the 3.7. mine has heated and cooled seats and if you get the perf pack you get all the PI forged internals etc. One is a lux sport sedan, one is a state financed work truck,
@@RayoAtra well the TT is already 60 and 70 over the 3.7, so if you're only getting 40 and 30 out of a tune, I'd be getting my money back. 5 Star Tuning took a 2015 SHO from 315/331 on 93 to 418/488 on 93 with a tune, different intake, and cat-back exhaust. The tune for the 3.5 alone does about 20-25 each over stock and reconfigures the curves and throttle.
Do idle hours matter as much on these as the crown vics looking at one with 8585 total hours
Aren’t they just stripped down sho?
Dg life 16 in short words, yea pretty much
That's ATTITUDE CHECK!
I'm looking at buying a 2013 explorer interceptor. Any advice since I'm new at an ex cop car
can you pull people over?
I'm gonna be honest, entry-level trim vehicles are worthless. I buy the highest trim I can get. I honestly think retired cop cars should be recycled. I've heard of douche bags buying these to be douche bags. I've seen people on YT say they get flipped off by people because they slowed down thinking they were cops. My gf and I could have picked a retired tahoe but decided to go with a badass sierra denali. We have an explorer too, but don't want bare bones and tears everywhere. I respect you're opinion, but I actually use my cameras and heated/cooled seats.
So... it's cheaper. That's it?
My interest/massive respect of law enforcement started because of Polecat! #CatPack
NinjaSquirrel 97 I couldn’t find his channel....can you advise further?
Ozzy Tapanes search polecat324
Sam M. It’s a gaming channel?
Ozzy Tapanes he owns a lot of retired police cars and plays on a role play sever called DOJRP
Sam M. Not my cupa tea
I love the interceptor's, I own a 03 crown Vic LX, still good. Got it cheaper then the interceptor's i seen around. and it was maintained as fuck. Owned by and older guy. Paint staring to peal but i think im going to paint it black
i am relentlessly getting told to stay away from a Crown Vic all together, but specifically the police versions, they kick the shit out of them, your constantly going to be getting it fixed, its going to be more money to fix than its worth, and the biggest thing my mom keeps saying, "no girl is going to want to get in a "Blues Brothers car". i wanted to say, i'm getting a CVPI not a 1974 Dodge Monico.....
Erika_itsumi Do what you want. I'll put it this way, crown vics are the best 1-3 grand cars on the planet. If you're budget is like 5-10k +, there are better options, maybe not more reliable options, but more luxurious and stylish options. Crown vics are heavily abused often, but they're some of the most reliable cars ever made, so they can take alot of abuse without breaking. But you need to keep in mind , at the end of the day, these are vehicles with probably well over 100k on them. Any vehicle with that many miles is likely to start having issues relatively soon. My grandma's perfectly mantained camry for example blew up at 87k, her prius at 63k and my uncles Tacoma at 18k blew it's engine. What's the pattern here? Those were all well mantained cars from a relatively reliable brand, but that doesn't guarantee reliablity, so you need to be careful. A crown vic is actually a great way to tell if the person you're in a relationship/friendship is worth staying around. Think about it, if you're partner or friend is making a big deal over your car, they probably aren't worth keeping around, so you'll be able to know who's worth keeping around and who isn't lol, plus, the blues brothers is one of the best movies ever made lol, so that's a plus, gives you something to joke about. But if you really want a reliable, yet more upscale yet somewhat affordable car, look into a lincoln town car from like the early 2000s. They're based off the same platform, so they, in theory, would have the same reliability benefits as a crown vic, but they aren't used and abused as cop cars, and they're obviously more luxurious, yet, I'd bet you could find one for like 3-5k.
The p71 crown vics have been known to go 200-300k + miles. You see all the taxi cabs are mostly retired police crown vics, one of the more reliable and easy to maintain cars ever
Dude, you are tongue tied and keep talking in circles.
It has a twin turbo v6 in the taurus
I agree with what u said completely....keep up with the vids ...love it. Dude, face reveal some day?
How did you fix the Bluetooth issue ?
How do you find the visibility?
Clone TV good all around
Tauruses have awful visibility
Also the officer who had it didn’t matter. They were work cars, they have been abused and they have been with more than one cop and most cops don’t care about them. They’re just a tool
Can you put an after market radio in these?
Yes you can.
👍💖 I love your ford taurus police interceptor sedan
You from Rhode Island
SHO Owners: 👀
Is that the turbo v6 awd model?
No it's a 3.7
Got mine for 4.5k
bro i lost your channel i thought i been subscribed i thought you stopped your videos now to come back and see you have another interceptor!? congrats ! glad i found my fellow police interceptor admirer! btw i have crown vic all black with steelies and the looks i get is everyone breaking their necks, even these wanna be thugs looking at my car. On the other note i do get compliments and alot of conversations spark up. I have to meet you and just talk n talk about our admiration for these cars because i would also always take these than the civilian models! lol
0:00 is the song from Fernanfloo’s rap?
#CVC4Ever
This was so painful to watch you keep stuttering and triping over your own words
Polecat?
5000 idle hours is about 150000 miles
Mine has 12;000 hours drives like new
Where is Wheatley!!!???
They cheaper cause think how cops drive! The car has been pushed trust me
Don't forget those models are also bulletproofed in the door panels 😎
Also, got my 2015 police interceptor after watching your channel. Got an awesome price..it only has one spotlight but it did come with the Setina push bar. Did you get yours installed yet?
Ahhhhh SIMPLY NO not always true
Tremenda maquina
Okay, cheaper. Got it. Jesus.
Cool Car :)
