    ya a maurader would be cool but im not intrested in buying any "collectable" modern 4 door muscle cars :rolleyes:

    i think riding around looking like the police would be alot funner :D

    i think the cop motor was built to about the same spec as a 2v mustang GT, about 240hp. its no rocket but im sure she'll scoot just fine for a DD

    That would be fun to drive around and watch people step on their brakes all the time thinking it's a cop. Though they are quickly replacing the old Crown Vic's around here with new FWD Impalas. And state troopers are getting Chargers now.

    I heard a rumor that Ford is still making crown vicky's but only for the government.

    If you get it, be sure to add a front push bar and a tall CB antenna...

    You know, for the full "cop" affect (y)

    yes they are making them but they are not only for the government but they are for fleet sales only

    https://www.fleet.ford.com/showroom/2008fleetshowroom/2008-crownvictoria.asp

    the funny part is the Grand Marquis and the Town Car are considered a mainstream vehicles still

    Buy it, it as built in the same place as Mavericks, that alone would do it for me. If not you could always turn it into a taxi cab and make extra money at night.

    Tony, that is what i'm hoping to get someday. Well... something simular. I want it with the perp seats and the divider tho. Check out "Interceptor" or "Police Interceptor" on ebay. Good prices on some. I am hoping to land one with all th gadgets if possible, they are available. Gotta have the spot lights!
    Here...

    I see one that is only $2400, but it's on the other side of the states from you, and me for that matter. The black stripe is kinda ugly too...
