Ford Crown Victoria

The seats are awesome heavy duty cloth but it may already be worn out. They have a plastic backer in the backs so you don't get shanked. Largely they are base cars. With a higher output engine, 3.27 gears standard, oil and transmission coolers. Heavy duty brakes and suspension. That's it. Everything else is an option. The bullet proof doors, lsd differential, 3.55 rear. They are options not standard.

Just get a civilian model. Cop cars are terrible if you aren't prepared to replace the transmission immediately.

>>17335586
Other than possibly being required to replace the transmission, I wanted a P71 because it was built as a cop car. I plan on obtaining a laptop mount to have one next to me when I drive, and it already has a protective grill in front of the radiator. Just paint it black and tint the windows nicely and you have yourself an intimidating yet reliable car.

I don't post on /o/ often, so I might sound like a complete faggot.

Lots on here shit on them. I had one, it was great and fun, didn't have a single issue for 2.5 years. Make sure to get it really cheap and keep in mind what you put into it, because they have bad resale value.

>>17335654
If I wanted to become a cop, I would have done it already. I just want a car so I can modify it to be more than just a car and make it cool as fuck. Anyone with a hint of intelligence knows how to tell if a car is an undercover cop car, the red, white, and blue lights, the extremely good condition of the exterior, etc.

Yes, there are nuances in the design that make them stick out, however
>the red white and blue lights
Are not mounted externally and are often mounted on the back window shelf or from the ceiling, not visible when the back window is tinted
>extremely good condition of the exterior
Are you implying citizens don't take care of their model CV? You're fucking autistic and retarded

Glad to see someone else who gets it, OP. There is a section of people who browse this board who intentionally speed and break the law and get frustrated every single time they're nearly caught - like running up on a parked highway patrol car doing 20 over. If anyone contributes to this in any way, they lash out at them emotionally over the internet especially on this board.

They respond by either mocking the user in an attempt to shame them out of a good purchase or actively demonizing them and calling them wannabe cops. If you think this, you should fuck off you low conscientousness faggot. Follow the rules.

Any car that can be bought running for under $1,000 and the interior restored for less than $50 from the local JY is a win in my book.

Here is an example of an FHP Crown Vic - things to look for for highway patrol cars is usually carpet, upgraded radio, small push bar or wire pushbar (I think it's a PB200 on this one, PB100 for wire one? Not sure).

Only one person has come into this thread with persecutory delusions about autists larping as police and it's you. You're not thinking at all. Read the posts you fucking retard. We're discussing the cars because we like them. Most of the people here are conscientious (orderly) so we're comfortable with following rules. You seem to have an issue with anyone who looks like they could punish you for breaking them. Not sure why you'd even draw the conclusion between those two but it's not my job to deconstruct your probably abusive childhood, now stop posting please

>>17335750
The car in particular I am looking at already has a bull bar and a hole for a spotlight which I am going to utilize, though I would admit it would be quite humorous to have the cage and bars, I might even consider putting some simple sirens on it.

Your assuming that I want an old car because I want to pretend to be a cop, when in reality I simply desire a well built car for a cheap price that was rated five stars in a head on collision test and four stars on a side collision test. They are built to last a long time, hence why they were used by police officers before they were auctioned.

I said it would be funny if I decided to put in the cage, which I am not because it serves no purpose to me. I work on laptops and would love to have an old thinkpad/toughbook next to me while driving with satellite internet. The bull bat was left on the car as the police department took it off, and a searchlight can prove to be extremely useful as it can be moved in any direction.

I could hook up the laptop to the cars electronics and control each little mechanism or values within the engine, I could have a GPS on it, I could host a small radio station on the move with some antennas mounted on the car, etc.

It is either going to be the laptop or a phone.

Are you implying a laptop wouldn't be an even bigger distraction than a phone? Fuck off you know anyone looking in the vehicle and seeing a clearly visible laptop will cause most people to draw the conclusion that you're a cop

Absolutely.
>Fuck off you know anyone looking in the vehicle and seeing a clearly visible laptop will cause most people to draw the conclusion that you're a cop
They drew that conclusion, but any retired cop will quickly know I am not a cop. Besides, people rarely know what cars are undercover and which ones aren't. Being good Americans and driving the proper speed limit not only can save your life, but will save the lives of others and should require a cop to keep you straight.

>>17335938
Let me get this straight, we're the autists for owning a particular car that you don't like the implications of owning but you're the one that has full license to go into a thread populated by people you despise, call them names and try to persuade them out of purchasing a car and insulting them?

Im pretty glad these posts come up everyday now. I like coming in and seeing the autists cry about cop cars.

>>17335639
Surprisingly Ford's AODE and 4r70e transmission aren't bad at all. PD's will have changed the trans fluid frequently along with all P71's being equipped with trans and oil coolers.

>>17336010
I'd honestly like that desu.
I want to own a panther body, I might get a town car but I don't know for the next few months

>>17335639
>I wanted a P71 because it was built as a cop car.
It's built just like a normal Crown Victoria with some extra stuff (External fluid coolers) to handle sitting at idle all day and then redlining for 10 minutes. All that shit about IT'S GOT THE COP CHIP, BRO, IT COULD OUTRUN A FERRARI? It's horseshit, the only things making a P71 faster than a normal Crown Vic is shorter rear end gears and dual exhaust which were both available as an option on the normal cars anyway.

> I plan on obtaining a laptop mount to have one next to me when I drive
Is that so you can keep up with your gay porn subscriptions while driving, or is it so your boyfriend can record you jerking off with one hand to your imaginary sense of authority as you caress the column shift with the other?

>>17335668
>If I wanted to become a cop, I would have done it already.
But you realized you might actually have to do things and instead you want people to just drive 10mph under the limit when you're around.

>I just want a car so I can modify it to be more than just a car and make it cool as fuck.
It will never be more than just a car. That is literally the one thing the Panther platform was designed to be- a car. It's a big box that carries you from A to B. If you tell a three year old to draw a car, this is what they'll draw. The only people who think P71s are cool as fuck are dindus and degenerates, and I say that as someone who has a massive boner for land-barges otherwise.

> the red, white, and blue lights,
The color of which are completely dependent on local jurisdiction equipment and which are often mounted internally, not to mention how many areas don't even use Crown Vics anymore.

>>17335692
>shame them out of a good purchase or actively demonizing them and calling them wannabe cops.

They were used by police officers for a long time because since the discontinuation of GM's 9C1 Caprice, they were the only full size, body on frame car with a manufacturer police package still in production.
