Rebuilding the $1250 Copart Salvage 09 Ford Crown Vic Police Car in 1 Video!

[@bstfordchannel923]

I want to say thank you so much for choosing my video.. Two subscribers told me about this video and REALLY wanted to say thank you dude.. I feel honored and may think of it as nothing, but it really put a smile on my face and my sons.. Thank you so much you have very good subscribers on your channel and I became one ( a subscriber ) just now.

[@Ltdeathsquid]

As for exhaust, I've got just a pair of Flowmaster super 40's on and it really wakes up the sound of the car. Plenty enough for the driver and anyone nearby to notice but not overbearing with drone. Quiets right down when you're just cruising.

[@tomislavlulic9330]

Tornado sirens in back round Randy: "Just ignore that guys...back to fender" 😂😂

[@charlesashlock6025]

We don't have them here

[@dailynshubby]

Sounds like Ontario today with the nuclear power plant blowing up and then 5 mins later it's all good false alarm

[@tony_25or6to4]

Grew up in Illinois. They would test the tornado warning siren every week at 10:00am on Tuesdays.

[@CarringtonHollister]

Tomislav Lulic ours sounds so faint

[@jasonroman8031]

@@dailynshubby That was something, such a tease

[@TheProjectHelpDesk]

Actually, being able to cage the kids in the back seat on a long trip might be a good selling point!

[@gregisdivorced]

Like It Or Not mine still has the cage. I swapped out the back seat. Kids love 💕 getting dropped off at school @autoauctionrebuilds.

[@bennybop5387]

@@gregisdivorced lol your kids must b bad ass👏 in a good way...

[@MelodyOo]

Leave the exhaust the way it is. that's just my personal opinion, everyone straight pipes any modded car it's kinda getting old.

[@looneytunez9087]

Randy,I have a 97 vic,I had the mufflers and resonators deleted,sounds great and not overly loud.

[@midnightgambler3718]

Leave all 4 cats, toss some magna flows on it, remove the resonator and call it even. Str8 pipes are obnoxious on a *stock* mod motor

[@real_apmoney]

Midnight Gambler it’s not gonna sound right leaving all 4 cats on that’s why a lot of people take at least 2 off

[@dalehovland3283]

Your neighbors wont like straight pipe exhaust

[@gregoryschminkey9477]

I. Agree

[@killaz123456789100]

Your right stock motors sound like struggling garbage when straight piped haha

[@EZ4U2Say11]

I don’t think he cares about neighbors I mean look how nasty that driveway is and a bunch of direlect peices of shit everywhere

[@bradleypollack5658]

Most people's kids are mean as hell! That backseat gets them ready for the future!!😂

[@bigbellyrebuilds2778]

I like how Austin took good care of the doors and fender by resting them on his foot great job Austin.

[@ThatAirsoftguy16]

My toe hurt the next day though, worth it though

[@pinball541]

Randy, as far as the exaust goes. I say leave it stock, but leave the car #75. That is the number she always has been. Thanks for reviewing the Mariner last week, i appreciate it. Hello from Phoenix Arizona.

[@HolyBaconLord]

Mines is straight piped, honestly sounds like crap lol at this point i regret doing it and wish i kept the stock exhaust. I took stealth mode for granted.

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

ANOTHER reason why love your channel, man. What you said about karma. You again proved to me that I was right subscribin' to you -- definitely 1 of the coolest automotive channels on KZbin. BTW this is my 2nd account/channel - I'm the dude from Dallas who won the Ridge Wallet (which, by the way, I can't recommend enough).

[@danielmcqueen1024]

Hey Randy, You did a good job on swapping out the Fender and doors! The Panther body gaps are always a little odd so no biggie. I got 2 Vickys' an 04' LX Sport and a 2011 P71 NM State Police which is my daily driver. On the exhaust, Like to see just the rear resonators cut off first to see how that sounds:)

[@quentinc1275]

See where the exhaust bolts together before the mufflers in the middle right where you had the camera pointed? Unbolt the exhaust there and have some fun for a while and see how you like it.

[@erikrenner]

That would be a perfect Uber or Lyft car.

[@SilverJ56]

Austin is a great guy! The gaps look good!

[@ThatAirsoftguy16]

Thank you!

[@Msardinas86]

Leave it alone

[@jeffb3535]

Awesome Randy!! I love Crown Vic’s I have an ‘88. Just throw a block party and volunteer some neighborhood watch time with the police car and all will be good in the hood 😉

[@AnimeEDM]

anyone else just want 'auto auction refills' on the side of the vic?

[@wvbonbonqueen]

Another great idea for a decal.

[@pinball541]

I like "Auro Auction Restorations" better myself. Hello from Phoenix Arizona!

[@treykashflow6183]

Your best bet may be. cut off the Mufflers after the H pipe and remove the Mufflers as well as all the exhaust pipe behind em. you may have to cut twice due to the rear end. That muffler delete won't have too bad a drone and actually is mellow at idle but when you need to hear it it's available at throttle. good compromise between stock and deleting the cats it's a happy medium. Some decent weight reduction if that matters .

[@treykashflow6183]

Even better its an easy do it yourself just need reciprocating saw and blade for metal and boom

[@christinacasillas2673]

Video on a Sunday??? Yayyyyy!!!!!

[@dongrace6404]

I just want that car you have back here in Bristol UK. Great vid as usual Randy! It reminded me of when I bought a 5yr old 'disposed of' ex-cop Vauxhall Omega (£500) in similar fashion 20 years ago here in the UK. Mine was a little battered and bare also...but wow did that thing shift. The engine had been 'Blueprinted', was tuned to perfection and didn't miss a beat! I remember trying it out for performance on a quiet SPECIAL early Sunday morning trip out to a cop-safe 7 mile section of the M5 Motorway nearby me. When I got to the section...I checked around and hit the floor with my boot. I could not believe it when I looked at the clock after what seemed a few seconds! I was doing just over 145mph and still climbing in no time at all! Needless to say, I had some great times in that car. After I let it go.....and by then believing the Vauxhall Omega was the best thing since sliced bread. I later foolishly bought two of them one after the other...believing the first one was just a duffer. How wrong was I???? The Vauxhall Omega produced for the public domain was the biggest, most unreliable, thirstiest and gutless piece of ** you could ever wish to buy!!! I want that one you have there Randy!!!

[@jeffreydexter1043]

I watched the whole thing already, great video Randy! Good job on the car, slapped a like on it.

[@martinez392]

So glad to see you fixing up these old panther platform cars! I have a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis and I love driving it! They are amazing cars!

[@F6HemiCharger]

“Not the Police” for the decals.

[@wvbonbonqueen]

What a great idea for a Decal. Love it.

[@joshuaripley7968]

Yes

[@F6HemiCharger]

NOT THE in small letters, POLICE in large letters like it has now.

It would make a great Uber or Lyft car 🤣 lol!

[@rgbigdog]

Only if you pick up short people.

[@ProducerLare]

Randy, just chop off those 2 rear resonators; leave all the cats... straight pipe it from there back.... you won’t get any check engine lights that way. I had a CVPI & did that... it was _pleeeenty_ loud!!

[@daniely30]

Perfect place for mother in law that backseat

[@danielmcqueen1024]

And the Wife! Seriously I had to take the Wife town yesterday in my P71 and nag, nag nag the whole time! But I do love her... Bless Her Heart :)

[@quentinc1275]

Also I reccomend you do it all black or all white it's much easier to sell that way

[@marcusgs12345]

I'd leave the exhaust as it is :) Great transformation there!

[@taylormartin90]

I used to be a cab driver who was an owner operator, the P71's were tough to strip down when I junked them. It took and a buddy 14 hours to take one down to a frame. I have had one of mine straight piped with the primaries intact and it sounded mean as hell. I would straight pipe it.

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

I bet this guy's neighbors love him! And by that I meant the guy with the oil stained driveway. And I wrote this before you made the comment in the video towards the end.

[@dynamodbld4814]

Randy,Do a catback exhaust with glass packs or turbo mufflers. Straight pipes will cause a loud rumble inside the cabin that is terrible at mid speeds.

[@Jackie_channnnnn]

Yes straight pipe 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@comfortablynumb5582]

Seeing you work on those cars in front of your house remind me of the good old days in the 80s and 90s when I used to do the same at my parents house cars in the yard cars in the neighbors yard cars up and down both streets around me I don’t think the neighbors like me too much

[@ignitehemi3364]

A straight pipe in my opinion would hurt the resale value.

[@ericfrowein5160]

[@bradbozarth1822]

“Auto auction resurrection’s” on the side of it

Nice job on the Police car Randy, a new coat of paint and through pipes and she will be just right!

[@dynamodbld4814]

Randy, TK's Car Giveaway; I like your idea in past video's to donate a car to a Veteran's Organization. I do not need a car, but in my area is a Veteran's Food Bank. Our Vets deserve help for they and their families have sacrificed for our Freedom. As for your Shop, go ahead and opt for a 40 x 60, 3 bay shop. You will be way ahead if you do.

[@Lloydexpress]

I love Crown vic. I had a 2006 LX version an it was great. I hope you bought the Lincoln, that was beautiful.

[@brianbybee2562]

Leave the exhaust alone

[@Georgenwc]

You need to swap over from the old doors the tinted windows that should tie it down properly! Keep Going man you are doing a great Job!

Leave that seat and cage who ever told you will have a hard time saleing it BS people want those things all the time. Need to put NOT POPO

Looks good even like this as it is👍

It's Great to see you with a smile on you face here's hoping your as healthy as your currently sounding and all is going well for you. You deserve a turn of Luck

[@daniely30]

Lets move on to the back door. Thats what she said

[@JWReesefam]

Leave the exhaust with the cats. If you want to take the large resonators off for something else, that is fine.

[@ASH.......................1976]

The jag is an XJS 😊

The fender seem like a bear brother. You guys are putting in work!

[@stephenhorbatiuk2811]

Randy: is Austin your new employee or does he work for free? Cheers

[@mexicanspec]

I once bought an ex cop car from Bountiful Utah. In Utah the police departments are required to get their cars safety inspected and registered just like any other car. The car was a 1990 Caprice. That car sold me on ex cop cars. It cornered like it was on rails. I loved it. I ended up selling it in Nevada to a retired Utah Highway Patrolman. He loved the car for his daily driver.

[@SamVance]

You really need some tripods so you aren’t holding the camera all day.

[@solidzane]

It'd make it easier to show him actually working on the cars. Part of the problem is that he uses a GoPro, which is super light-weight... And even photographers don't particularly like lugging around a heavy tripod. So most likely he'd be putting a super light camera on a super light tripod and then the wind knocks it over... 🤷🏻‍♂️... There are, of course, ways to weight it down. Just more to carry to and fro...

[@braddallas7606]

I’m really liking the white doors and hood look. Panda themed car sick

This police car looks like a beast.

[@quintingrillenberger9130]

"PoPo Squad" sorry if spelling is off

[@kevindoxey]

Get the chrome wheel covers from that other crown victoria for your cop car ALSO, check your brake lights! If your having trouble putting it in reverse you MAY need a new brake light switch on your brake pedal.

[@billiardball9650]

put CHIPS up the side hah i loved that programme when younger

[@joekingrey1423]

My vote on exhaust....free flowing pipes with flowmaster mufflers.

[@johnb.7979]

Wouldn’t that cage and fiberglass seat be perfect for hauling rug rats around? 🤔

[@Jddvs]

Did you notice how happy Randy seems behind the wheel of the cop car? It’s like putting on a Superman suit !😀

[@justinwalker615]

And that backseat has so much ” Bad Luck “ rubbed all over it I don’t think you want any of that close to you while dealing with cars is in the future

[@tankman-ku5zc]

very good job on the rebuild. looks so much better with the new panels.

[@ericr7162]

1:20 it’s an XJS

[@danwiegelman3443]

Randy straight pipe that exhaust that will sound sick as hell . Bad ass Troll machine.

[@TheCopCar]

Looks good, not sure if you noticed... but you have different door moldings on the rear doors. To match the car get the newer (non-rounded) molding for the replacement door.

[@ludwigalvarezhouseofgroove7116]

I love those Crown Vics, nice find and nice job on the rebuild. Leave the front cats and straight pipe the rest.

[@nightryder16]

Steering wheel locking is a common problem my 06 did it. It's the solenoid inside the steering wheel. It tends to take longer in the winter due to it taking the solenoid to build up enough heat to engage the releasing mechanism.

[@brian5o]

I'm loving this one, Randy! For the decals, I'd say, if you're planning on keeping the car, have your logo printed in vinyl and have it say Auto Auction Rebuilds Troll Patrol for the doors and have a decal made of your KZbin address made for the rear window or trunklid. I think you're gap issue for the hood might actually be do to the top of the fender and not the hood itself, especially if the side that you didn't take apart is good. I'd say loosen the top fender bolts a bit and use a prying tool to open up the gaps. I love the wheels on this car but I noticed that the one on your passenger side rear had a pretty big bend in it. That other parts car appeared to have some very nice wheels. You might want to consider picking those up, too. By the way, definitely update the exhaust. I don't know about straight pipes but maybe remove one set of the cats and throw some Flowmasters or Magnaflows on it.

[@UberManTampa]

Nothing better than the roar of a crown vic

[@aeyb701]

I like the stock exhaust sound. 63000 miles, hardly broken in.

[@dcpoolsvc]

I’ve had about five of these things and they are a lot of fun and truly tough cars. I at first thought I’d like to hear the straight pipe, but really just getting rid of the resonators and putting a good muffler might be the better option as others have said. Making it too loud would take away from it. Making me want another!

[@wvbonbonqueen]

Great video, looks like a pro did the work. Good Job!!!

[@evanmelton3315]

Great job Randy! Love the channel.

Hey Randy straight pipe it . Great videos bud. Iam a fan thank you for all the videos

[@johnulrich5572]

Hey Randy, go to Harbor Freight and buy some furniture pads and keep them in the truck so they're always available. Sure saved me som headaches. Also tiedowns. No straight pipes! Respect your neighbors.

[@russ2714]

You are already testing the good nature of your neighbors, do NOT subject them to straight pipes! Yes to removing the big mufflers for some nice sounding aftermarket units though.

Have you heard my Corvette and Camaro?? They LOVE them.
