Ford Taurus Police Interceptor Auction WIN!

[@computerdeals]

I love watching you checking out the cars at the auction!

[@hullinger]

So glad you like them and I should have another auction video posted for this Friday.

[@jeremy3998]

I only discovered your channel not too long ago. You are really genuine and I like your content. I like that you tell things as they are with no drama that other channels like to do. I love seeing all the auction cars you look at and the ones that you buy.

[@ts-xp2xn]

Awesome buy. Just FYI the reinforced bars visible in the trunk are part of the exclusive reinforced suspension system on PIS AND PIU. Basically, two sets of crossed reinforced bars allow for you to take a hit from behind up to 70mph. Testing this prolly wasn't fun tho.

[@CJDiecast]

I miss the days when Crown Vics were king of the police force. There's something about that car that I truly admire over anything else. The Tahoes, Chargers, Taurus' and Explorers just don't compare to the old school, robust, body-on-frame Crown Victoria. However, I still see a couple of Vics put-putting around here and there, typically used as Volunteer Sheriffs or sometimes still as patrol vehicles. My Police Department fully retired them but the Sheriff's Office still has a couple going strong. That makes me happy.

[@richardkafka5625]

Looks like a good buy! And that is a very accommodating auction! Not many like that.

[@hullinger]

I totally agree with ya! I like this auction, a lot. So many other auctions are jerky with their rules but this one keeps me coming back.

[@SCARYFALCON2]

Great Taurus Chris, remember what i said keep on the lookout for any little coolant leaks when pulling out of the driveways. Especially if it has the original water pump. Hope all goes great 👍

[@smkynbandt1]

Great buy. Stupid question. You said at the beginning of the video that it didn’t have the keys or title but you picked it up with keys and I assume the title. Did they find them prior to your pick up or did you have them made prior to pick up?

[@WJHandyDad]

Great video as always. Looks like you got a winner for that car. I agree with you to not bid on auctions that require a winner's fee nor to deal with those that require a daily storage fee because unless you are a dealer with a truck to pick them up, you may or may not be able to get the vehicle on time. I am most envious of that 60 day plate though!

[@berniesoprano6980]

Love watching your vids and the purchases you make. It's interesting to see what you will find next to add to your collection! Keep em coming.

[@donemanlove4931]

Thanks for sharing I'm out here at Tucson Arizona and just found where GSA takes all their vehicles to for the southwest region it's here in Tucson I'll have to do a video and share it with you love your car man

[@hullinger]

Cool man about the Tucson auction. I'd love to see what kinda cars are out there and love to see a video.

[@SconnieKayaker]

I am SO GLAD that you bought that Ford Taurus. While watching the last video I kept saying to myself "Man what a great vehicle, I hope he gets it"! Then you did and I was like "HELLLL YEAHHHHH!!!" Lol.

[@hullinger]

Right on man. I'm pretty stoked about this Taurus. It was risky for sure, but it seemed to turn out good. Kinda makes up for the turds I took a chance on in the past.

[@Foxonian]

Good buy! Always wondered how these Taurus police cars were. Our local force has a few of these that are unmarked that they use as detective cars. But, with the Taurus now out of production, they are starting to replace them with unmarked Explorers for the detectives in addition to their regular marked Explorers.

[@XX-166]

Provide links to those other auctions places so that we can be as fortunate as you are to get such great pick ups.

[@crazy-horsecrazyhorse8543]

Yes, Chris please give a us a “How To Video” of where when and how to buy at these Delaware Auction House’s…Please. Now where are these Auction Houses links please. ✌️BTW, yes I too am a long time subscriber to your channel, you are appreciated. Thanks again Chris, Peace Crazyhorse.

[@WJHandyDad]

9:20 - the 6R80 transmission has great gear ratios and probably makes it even "faster" than the HP would suggest compared to the poorly geared Crown Vic

[@bobbybandz9194]

There's just a HUUGE gap between the two powerbands,it's way more then gearing. You're talking substantially more hp and tq and over a much wider rpm range...the Crown Vic is the patrol car Top Gear mocked for getting gapped by stock Honda Odysseys..no joke. I trained in a VC, was a good donut turning machine,but couldn't get out of its own way. FPIS just moves out; but the 6F55 trans is nice.

[@Stjepan-vu5ug]

You and Flying wheals are the Best and honest Chanel. Please contiune same waye. Good look in future.

[@hullinger]

Thanks man and I appreciate that! It's funny cause I follow Craig too at Flying Wheels.

Looks good bro glad the chance you took worked out

[@hullinger]

Appreciate it man and thanks for that. It was a risky buy and yeah, it worked out this time. Kinda makes up for some of the other risks I took and flopped!

[@09tahoeppv]

@@hullinger yea it be like that when you rolling the dice you could either win or crap out

[@apb1236]

Really dig the clean lines and blacked out cop wheels on that Taurus. Wouldn’t mind having that as a spare car

[@DorianHellas]

im so jealous that you finally got one ! cant wait to see what you do with it!

[@hullinger]

You're awesome man, and it's your fault I bought this since you're the one that turned me onto these cars! Damn you Dorian!

[@DorianHellas]

@@hullinger haha, i was hoping to get one before you, but now that you got one and its a super clean silver fox, im even more jealous and motivated to get one!

[@kmorton54]

What do you of the Taurus compared to a Crown Vic. Which one do you prefer? Another great video. Thanks

[@khuhhhhhhhhh]

Semestre like a great deal. Looking forward to the detailing video.

[@dannyj7618]

I got 2013 Interceptor Utility with 3.7L v6. and It leaves a lot to be desired. I get very poor MPG - 7.5mpg-9.5mpg. Plus is I can run E85 because of FlexFuel. I really LOVE the 3.5L Ecoboost engines - Its same ones that are in Raptors. And with $500 tune - you can boost PSI pass 500hp. Very nice engines.

[@bobbybandz9194]

Just got a 15 FPIS Ecoboost for 5k with 100k and 2k idle hours,I feel like I did pretty good on it? New tires brakes and a litany of sensors etc etc also has the ballistic armor upgrade lol def quick!

[@dannyj7618]

Yes thats a good deal, And i LOVE the 3.5L ecoboost engines, my main problem with them is, even though they are reliable, the water pump is run by timing chain - which is a shit design. 99% of engines, water pumps are powered by serpentine belt. @@bobbybandz9194

[@TheCopCar]

When you pulled that part out of the glovebox (at 2:40), it looked like a seatbeat cover for the female side of the buckle - possibly for the driver seat - looked like there was duct tape on that one. Either way, what a great car! You always do such a great job with these auction videos and that auction house is really nice - very accommodating - what a great place to make auction buys from.

[@joescalise4653]

Looks like you got a great deal. Nice car. Enjoy watching you videos.

[@frankm8533]

Love that newer Taurus style. Actually been looking at some but only thing holding be back is the insurance

[@RustyZipper]

Pick up is a big issue as most schools or municipalities are Mon - Fri 9-4. Tough to arrange if you work a normal job.

Two quick questions. Were the rear door locks and windows operational when you got the car? What all was entailed in your immediate maintenance. Nice car.

[@johnnysmile01]

Very nice Chris that Taurus is nice i like that car looks solid congrats 😉nice vídeo, oh forgot that action place really deserves more visits in future times?

Thanks 👍 man and I really like the look of this Taurus, especially with those steel wheels and blacked out trim. And yeah, this auction is a pretty nice place to buy from.

[@tommorgan1291]

Really like your presentations! Thank you

[@TommyBHere]

Any words of wisdom on buying these Taurus PPV's? I have heard nothing but bad reviews about them and the Explorers, but I'm not brimming over with compliments on the Chevy or Dodge products either.

[@DougsCars]

I will be very intrigued to see what happens with this one...picking up my first Panther today btw!

[@hullinger]

Aww wow man, cool about your first Panther. I hope you like the experience. They are so simple and basic, no-frills, but that's what's so endearing about them too. Hope you enjoy it!

@@hullinger It’ll make for good content for sure, and that’s always part of what we do here 🤣

[@z71ne1]

Another great video! I just noticed that the ending music sounds luke the Fawlty Towers music!🤣

[@steveqiu1098]

To be honest, 8.5k engine hours is really on the high side. Meaning the car is basically doing stop-and-go driving. change the timing chain of these engines to prevent future problems.

[@leekissel6151]

I love your videos ! cant wait for new ones ,keep up the good work !

And thanks for the video

Hey there Ted. I don't recall if I responded earlier to your Mustang GT emails but man, what a car. I love it and I love the condition it's in too. Really an awesome find and it's gonna be amazing to get back on the road again. Super cool and I hope you share more with updated on your progress.

I like the column mounted shifter. I’m surprised about the ride quality. There is a Taurus where I work at and it rides really well.

[@hullinger]

I like that column shifter too. And the ride quality turned out to be pretty decent. Firm but not harsh. It seemed that dirt road I was on was a mess to drive on and even bounced the camera around.

[@SlavGuns]

Interesting. Mine drives really well.

[@B0xlife1]

@@hullinger LOL! Especially since it was outside the fence!! Oh and auctions like that, what you described , being so user friendly,no fees, easy to work with,etc are definitely a dying breed. I must say ,hearing that some still exist is a breath of fresh air!! That’s for sure.enjoy the Taurus, I had no idea that Na v6 was pushing 300hp too be honest!

Nice car. Last taurus I had had 20k total and 14.5k idle. It was a bucket I had to do a ton of work to

[@JoseDiaz-xc9xs]

great car. just hope you enjoy it and sell it before it needs a drivetrain out waterpump replacement. ford should abandon timing chain waterpumps

[@hullinger]

I hear ya man. I've read and heard a lot about that water pump and the hassle and cost.

Nice buy. Body looks like its in great shape. I see that car on the street and I'm slowing down...the blacked out trim and wheels scream "law enforcement." (I'll also move out of the left lane if you're behind me...lol)

[@hullinger]

Haha, I know exactly what you mean. I'm finding with I drive this Taurus I either get folks that move out of the way or slow way, way down and go too slow. Cell phones drop out of their hands and both hands go on the steering wheel. Kinda makes me chuckle a little.

Copart charges $40.00 per day for storage is you don't pick your purchases up on time. Crazy, I know.

[@hullinger]

Jeesh man, $40 per day is a back breaker! And just today I was sitting in the passenger seat wondering about the air bag too. There is a light on the dash that says the passenger air bag is on/off but I just don't see where it would be in the dash.

[@mexicanspec]

@@hullinger I think they had to do that on the police model for the computers they have. In late 1993 I bought the first 1994 Mustang GT Convertible that came on the lot. I was coming through Utah and came over a small hill on the highway and the UHP was waiting there. He was in a Crown Vic. I was doing 90, before they changed the speed limits. He came to my passenger window and looked around the interior and said he missed his Mustang. He couldn't have a 1994 version because of the passenger airbag, as it would blow his computer back at him in a crash.
