Just HOW MANY Crown Victorias are ACTUALLY LEFT?? the Answer Might Shock You

MYTH: there were millions and millions of crown victorias made from 1998-2011
the truth is there was only a few hundred thousand Police Interceptors made and that number is astonishingly LOW in 2022
the more vics cleetus mcfarland destroys, the more value my personal collection gains

[@deanster3435]

I think the reason why they're mainly gone is because most of the excess that was for sale for the last few years has been taken and they're getting to that age where a lot of them will be scrapped or parted. A lot of the older ones that are pre-2003 are starting to hit junkyards en masse and within the next ten years or so you'll start seeing the majority of last gen vics go away too due mostly to age and pile up of issues related to said age. Sad to say this but I don't think there'll ever be another durable, reliable body-on-frame sedan in the future since most of those would-be customers have moved on to the more utilitarian full-size pickup.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

Of course insurance companies are doing this, it's hard to keep ripping people off when there are still reliable, long lasting cars on the road. Manufacturers are the same way.

She saw a panther get totaled out for less then $2000 worth of damage cause the insurance valued the specific car as a $1500 car. She never heard anything about part scarcity though.

Yo, can't believe that CVs are getting scarce. Future owner here dude. I remember the time when I watched Die Hard 4, Bruce Willis whipping that FBI Police CVPI and used it to destroy a chopper. Race to Witch Mountain as well, 2000 CVPI as a taxi. Then, I also remember the CV taxis were colored Tiffany Blue during the 2018 Tiffany Paper Flowers campaign. Turns out they're not the P70/P7A long-wheelbase ones, they're actually retired P71s with Appleton spotlights on them (I like that actually, Caprice 9C1/CVPI taxis with Appleton spotlights). I wonder where they came from, probably DC Metro PD, NJSP, or Philly PD because NYPD doesn't use Appleton spotlights on their cars. Also, those P71 tiff blue cabs aren't actually blue, since the blue part is actually poorly plastered vinyl wrap. Even the black rear faschia had to be covered with vinyl wrap. Then, I wanted to share this; the Tiffany & Co. Believe in Dreams campaign (kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3zVoqKje5V7lac). Directed by Francis Lawrence (the guy known for I Am Legend, another movie with tons of abandoned CV taxis, both P72 and P70, and the Hunger Games films) and starring Elle Fanning (my favorite actress, known for Princess Aurora in the Maleficent films with Angie Jolie), that music video is full of CVs, and all of them lack the Ford badge in the rear, even the Police Interceptor badge as well. Those cars are probably fleet P72s since most of them don't have spotlight holes on the front doors, or maybe spotlight-less P71s. Unlike those used in NYC, the CVs in the video are actually painted in Tiffany Blue. I like that, a cute color on a tough car used by the toughest cops in the U.S. I would love to see a 1994-96 Caprice 9C1 in that color. And to add up to my nightmares, what about a Tiffany Blue-colored 2003-05 CV LX with CVPI front seat, cut in half, with flowers on the engine bay, seen here: elle-fanning.net/images/displayimage.php?album=1625&pid=80818#top_display_media.

People can say that's too much or whatever, but that's what they are worth to me. And honestly I don't think $20k could buy me a suitable replacement vehicle that does everything the P71/B does.

I’ll upload a video on how I’ve rigged mine but it’s really easy. Recommend a tune afterwards tho. I’ve had absolutely no problems going on 1 year now, no overheating or weird engine noises. The car just loves that un-diluted fuel

Me being 17 and buying my first car and it being a 1998 crown Vic makes me feel good and makes me wanna cherish it until the wheels fall out off

While every action movie in the last 25 years does have it's obligatory Crown Vic explosion, it's not really accurate to say Hollywood has ended 100k of them. The figure is realistically more like

[@jegges6341]

I wonder how many Caprice's are left. Would be interesting to know too

[@rickhunter6513]

Those are true unicorn cars. The 9c1s were only out for three years before Chevy killed them in 1996. Still can find plenty of Impala SS’s but police 9c1 have been beaten and rusted to oblivion. I’d kill to find a relatively clean one.

[@heishongwong2458]

Have 2 95s caprices

I have a 1995 crown vic it only has 83,000 miles it only had one owner before me 🤷‍♀️

[@BrandonWagner93]

I have 2 panthers in my collection. A white 2010 CVPI the came from Sylvania Township Police in Ohio with 103k on the clock and 9k idle hours I got for $2,500 roughly, and a black 2011 CVPI I got from Paulding County Sheriff's Office in Ohio with 135k on it and about 2700 hours on it for $1,900 roughly. Doing my best to take care of them both.

Mr. Random I have a question. I currently run the Ford Motorcraft “synthetic blend” motor oil. What is your opinion on the full synthetic oil same brand? Would you recommend running full synthetic? Thanks for your thoughts and I love your content. I immediately did the “bumper tuck” after watching your video. I was so happy with the results. Thank you -Gary

[@MrRandomReviews]

i use the synthetic blend on all my vics full synthetic wont hurt anything. im just oldschool abd prefer the synth blend especially for the higher mileage cars👍

[@mettetal]

@@MrRandomReviews thanks for the reply 👍🏼

[@thedudeabides3058]

I have an black 04 LX Sport 143k(i bought brand new)...white 09 P71 40k(325 idle hrs)...black 09 LX 53k...black 03 MGM Ultimate 35k....so glad I started collecting a little while ago...thanks for your research and having this channel!

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I bought a used Ford Crown Vic LX Sport with 165000mi 🚗. 2005. It has a 4.6L V8, P74. I had a few minor changes: tires, new Die Hard car battery. I like the P74 but it's old. Will need $ for AC work, door lock(drivers), LCM 💡.

[@thedudeabides3058]

@@DavidLLambertmobile nice....I had to put in new ac condenser twice cause it's in a bad spot that gets water ect...I think some of the parts aren't too expensive if u can find a cheaper mechanic to install ....I think the LCM is an ongoing recall item...dealership should be able to do it...I bought one and installed myself...its above the gas pedal with three bolts if I remember and a harness clip...then I submitted for a reimbursement from Ford..u have a moon roof on yours?

[@fahadflower880]

The 2012 models are not only in the UAE. Most of that model year cars are here in Saudi Arabia. In fact, the last 2012 Crown Vic that was ever made was shipped to Saudi

[@ronniewofford8310]

I own a 2000 Crown Victoria Special Edition. It is Harvest gold. Has "Special Edition" stitched in the leather seats front and rear as well as all 4 floor mats, "Special Edition" badge on the trunk lid and an emblem on each fender. I have seen only two. Mine and one other here in Central Texas. Mr Random Review, What say you about my and other 2000 Special Editions?

[@preppertrucker5736]

I have a 2010 crown Vic police interceptor with 129,000 miles and it still runs pretty good 👍

[@furiousdriving]

There are 76 showing up in the UK!

Proud 2010 P7B owner right here!

[@mercedes-amgforlife3237]

Me too. Have 212k on the clock. It's like my baby.

[@daneneedoba8930]

In Canada I rarely see one come up in a 300km radius, when I got the chance to pick up a 2011 P7B for $3500 I asked almost no questions and jumped on it. My hopes is to share it at meets in relatively stock condition, give it some WOT every now and again but mainly let it live out its life. 187,000km 8200 idle hours, it's tired and i hope it will keep running for a few more years. I'll put an engine and trans in it if I have too

[@danielmcqueen1024]

I, like you have saved an own 3 Crown Victoria's, a 2004 LX Sport, very rare, an 05'LX... bothe in sweet condition, and a 2010 P7B also at 168k is in great shape... Also have saved up for restore is my 1971 Galaxie500, Mom's old car, a 71' LTD and a 71' LTD Brougham, all 3 are 2 door hardtops and complete cars! I live in the desert southwest... nothing freaking rusts :) Heck, even my Vick timing chain covers look new, no axidation at all :)

[@capricetony]

I have a 2009 CVPI with the SAP, 3.55’s , bench seat, rug, cruise and CD player. 120k and 395hrs, great shape, runs like new. Not sure of it’s worth, I bought it in 2017 for 6k.

[@raedvalenzuela5085]

Well, Panther cars will never be suffering any shortages. There so many parts floating around it’s not even funny. However I think your bud specifically is about the P71 so I will still not be worried about it. Awesome vid 🤘

[@mikaelthauland9223]

Apparently a sheriff in America is going to have Ford make them custom electric crown vics for the sheriff

[@jammeralexander9312]

I have six P71/P7B. I used them for my security company. All are still running strong and all were maintained with OEM parts. Last year we were forced to switch to the 2017+ Explorers PIU due to lack of OEM parts. After 20 years of using the P71’s they are all out of service and sitting in the parking lot. I ended up with a 20’ x 8’ storage full of P71 parts and a bunch of body parts.

[@jbvilla82]

Damn such a shame. No OEM parts for a crown Vic? I guess there goes those old Vics. So I presume you bought the old Vic’s?

[@aleksazivkovic789]

Too bad that I am born in 2005 and that I don't have opportunity to buy Crown Vics here in Serbia. Wish I could visit states someday and buy one example as a classic. It's to sad to see that they will be extinct in just a few years😥😭😭😫

[@MementoVita]

3:22 I can already tell them the best doggos😂

[@weedsville6318]

I'll give it a like because I like this channel but in all honesty as I'm sitting in my crown Vic having a stogie and a bowl of good old cali green I really can't help but feel a little sad knowing that not too many of these cars left my girls running right though so I'm not complaining 😃

[@jordanjoestar-turniptruck]

My ex destroyed my old car, so I decided to gift myself with a car I could baby. I got a 98 CV with 81k miles. $4500 which I can't tell if that's great or terrible in the context of this market, but it was either that or something like an 04 Jetta with 141k miles for $7500. Also I got it from a boat shop of all places and I think they were just looking to clear their non-boat inventory. It's a civilian model with a single exhaust, but I kind of like it that way. I like to drive on the gentle side so no need for Marty tunes or probably even sway bars. Just upgrading some old parts like moving to ceramic breaks and putting on some lips for some paint protection. Definitely needs paint work too as it's chipped all over, but it lived in WA most of its life so there's little more than a couple spots of surface rust to clean out. I want my little boy to drive it when he grows up--if I trust him enough.

[@joeybaez1745]

I have an 02 and a 2011 vic ,love them both ,very very reliable ,both are p71 police cars..👍

[@firecop7912]

These cars need to better taken care of.. I knew the numbers were getting lower but didn't think we were that low.

[@cameronfinch1694]

I bought my 07 p71 with 125k for 1500 bucks back in January an has been the best car I’ve ever owned . She gets abused but she also gets love when it’s asked . Crazy to think of the numbers being that low , I have 5 people in my area with p71s .
