Senor PuffPuff Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Today I'm going to check out some local P71 Crown Vics, so this might very well be my last weekend driving a w-body. Although the w-body platform is familiar to me, the problems with them and cost of parts as well as being FWD have pretty much driven me away. So, I'm going with what I wanted originally - a P71. It's a 2007 with 177k on it, but really that's nothing for a P71. I hope to eventually swap a 5 or 6-speed manny into it, but that likely won't start until next summer. Here's some pics - Decals are going to be removed, other than that it's as-is. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDgwWDY0MA==/z/gJMAAOxy3zNSl8NI/$_20.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDgwWDY0MA==/z/MJQAAMXQWzNSl8NW/$_20.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDgwWDY0MA==/z/gtIAAOxy3zNSl8Nw/$_20.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDgwWDY0MA==/z/Ph8AAOxyzi9Sl8N7/$_20.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutlass350 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 If it's a small enough auction with no professional buyers, you may get a car for a good price. However, in Conn and Mass (USA), I've always found that former police cars go for way too much money. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor PuffPuff Posted December 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Yup, I bought it - the stickers are already gone, but the spotlight is still there (LED spotlight to boot), still has the strobes in the headlights and tail lights too! Not to mention the hard plastic rear seat... All for $3k. The paint is rough, but the chassis and body are in really good condition for a P71, and the paint I can do myself. All it needs to safety is one rear tire. For some reason it has 3 brand new tires but one nearly-bald one which confuses me but oh well I can't wait to drive this badboy home SIDEWAYS!

Senor PuffPuff Posted December 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Also, the interior is pretty rough since all the police equipment was ripped out and there's wires sticking out under the dash and the headliner wasn't put back on properly but the wires can be shoved back under the dash after I cap them and the headliner seems like it could just snap back in fairly easily.

1988PhantomFE3 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Are you going to keep the strobes in the lights? Did the flasher unit/control come with it? I need a set up[ for our pace car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
