Crown Victoria P71

Post by DarkSpork »

I just helped my friend pick up his P71, it is pretty damn quick. I normally don't like Ford's but its a pretty cool car. Two 19 year olds in the front of a cop car (that isn't stolen) must have been an interesting sight for others.

I'm looking for a cheery 9C1 myself ('95-'96).

I'm also a fan of the P71. I think it's amazing what gearing, and engine control can do to "granny car." The only downside is like 13MPG.I call it factory tuned hot-rod. And true old school by today's standards.I once saw two (new) P71 sitting at a dealer lot because of a cancel order. Too bad I was not in the market for one. The only way the dealer can sell new P71 to the public is to title them and sell as used.That's the only way I would like a P71. I would not want a reconditioned one which someone already (removed) or threw up back there.

Nice! I would love driving that to work. All the slow people on the the interstate would see that in their rear view and get out of my way. I wouldn't like paying for the gas, though.

He got a deal on it because its still painted black and white, it has a push bar and a spotlight. People drive really safely around him for some reason...As for the person who asked for a picture I have one on my phone but unfortunately don't have one elsewhere, imagine a black and white Crown Victoria with a spotlight, push bar, and North Dakota plates.
