    Would you pull this car over?

    This isn't my car, but I have an opportunity to pick up a very clean low mileage (50k) crown vic that needs body minor work. (I work in the Collision Industry) I never really planned to get one, after the test drive I realized it was a lot more comfortable and pulled a little harder than I was expecting. Not fast by any means but it moved and handled well for being as big and heavy as it is!




    There are NO spotlights, no light bar, no cage and doesn't have any decals on it at all.

    The car DOES have a pushbar, steelies with chrome center, antenna for 2m ham radio and legal tint (none on front two windows)

    Would this be legal to use as a horn? Only having this tone and no others.



    Thank you for your time guys, stay safe out there!

    I have spent more time and miles in a Crown Vic than I ever do in my personal vehicle!

        I really liked it, it was very comfy and I keep thinking about how cold the ac was. I know those cars do well when they trade paint with other cars, Im going to take a break from Hondas and acuras. Time to try something different as a commuter!

        One very minor complaint is how far away the radio is! Wow it must be a good 2 from the steering wheel. The trunk is a giant cavern, and would make trips to the range a little easier. Plus my dogs would really enjoy having room in the back seat.

        I'm just tossing the idea around, I'm also considering a caddy or a Buick. I want something comfortable to commute in. I won't be modifying or changing anything on whatever car I get.

          My company Crown Vic I am driving now has 127,000 miles. It still drives very well.

            50k isn't **** for a CV. How much is it going for?

                It would make a great Bluesmobile. If it's priced right and you don't care about crummy mileage, go for it.

                    Is it matte black like it looks in the picture? I'd drive the hell out of it.

                          Paint it yellow........ Put some beads cover seats on it, and call it a day..

                          What year is it? get a 03+ They have the new intake and rack n' pinion. 05 is the first year they used digital throttle. Honestly can't go wrong with a 04 or 05.


                          I think 06 is the first year they introduced ballistic lining in the doors. So if you find a 06 you get luckly!
