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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@jasonroman8031]

@@dailynshubby That was something, such a tease

[@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

[@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.

[@looneytunez9087]

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

[@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.

[@Msardinas86]

Leave it alone

[@bradleypollack5658]

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

[@erikrenner]

That would be a perfect Uber or Lyft car.

[@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

[@F6HemiCharger]

“Not the Police” for the decals.

[@wvbonbonqueen]

What a great idea for a Decal. Love it.

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 😉

[@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:)

[@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!

[@Jackie_channnnnn]

Yes straight pipe 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@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.

Another great idea for a decal.

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

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 :)

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

[@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.

[@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

[@nurseelliott4256]

NO leave it keep the exhaust the way it is

[@quentinc1275]

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

[@cameronschluchtner]

Make it a copart mobile. "Salvage Patrol"

[@degeneratewinners]

This police car looks like a beast.

[@ignitehemi3364]

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

[@JWReesefam]

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

[@marcusgs12345]

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

[@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.

[@MyJarrus]

the police car is perfect if you have a dog it can chill at the back and cleaning will be easy as well

[@wiilli7685]

Hellllll Yeah! STRAIGHT PIPES.! Let’s hear it roar.....But keep it a PoPo Patrol. Can’t wait to hear it blow everyone away. Ooooooh baby..👍👍👍👍

[@mennoboon8037]

Looks good even like this as it is👍

[@briantracy1324]

Don't remove the cats or mufflers... you won't gain any power unless you retune the car and it will get unwanted attention. Paint it Gray , add discreet flag decals ...

[@pinball541]

I think all black, with the decals ghosted.

[@Jjay-tw1yy]

Yes! Lock my kids in the bad seat!

[@quintingrillenberger9130]

"PoPo Squad" sorry if spelling is off

[@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!

[@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...

[@jerrymccoy3611]

I have a 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and I have it straight piped no cats no Muffler ran all the way to the back and it sounds amazing and it has its own unique sound might be just my opinion but it definitely sounds good I think you should definitely straight pipe it Randy it would definitely have a unique sound my opinion that sounds really good.

[@jpvanheerden2859]

Liked and shared with out watching hehehehe love your channel

[@joekingrey1423]

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

[@billiardball9650]

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!!

[@joelstrauss7200]

My crown vic's exhaust is done the way you're talking about and it sounds awesome I say do it

[@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.

[@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!

[@ludwigalvarezhouseofgroove7116]

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

[@cool74pickup98]

I’m not an expert but a rule of thumb I use is if the windows can role down role them down, it will save you a bunch of money if for some reason the door falls

[@iliaslamari7315]

Good job *Sheriff Refills!*

[@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.

[@dgclassic5591]

Straight pipe 👍

[@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.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

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

[@_.ZEKI.TSX._]

I think you should keep the p71 completely stock, and make it into a private security vehicle and add some white, amber lights on the front window visor, some corner strobe lights, grill and rear traffic directional bar, some tints and resell it at some point to some one who works as a private security officer, love these p71.

[@davidrivera414]

Nice job Randy with the refresh of your police intercepter the gaps are good

[@dustinwilson1981]

Coming together. Looking good from this galaxy anyway.

[@maxzee1739]

Keep the exhaust factory and here's why... You're kinda wanting people to think its a real cop car and if they hear a super loud exhaust that will instantly give it away. Also, a super loud car will be more likely to upset neighbors that on the fence about you. Good content!
