    New Car Soon

    Well, looks like im going to part out my truck and scrap the rest. The price to repair is about the same as the car my friend just offered me. Guess ill be getting the car ive always wanted and have been trying to buy since i could drive. 1997 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor. Has 100,000 miles and runs beautifully for only $800. I wonder how scrapping will be in this thing... What do you guys think?

    Put a cage back into it and stack the scrap up to the roof. Mike

    I know those things can tow pretty well. A buddy of mine in college had an 01 interceptor and hooked up a trailer every summer for moving back and forth. He took it to the drag strip too a few times hahaha. Get a hitch and a trailer and you will do just fine.

    I was going to say, strip the back seat out of it; you will have more space to haul heavy scrap.

    We have a '99 PI (police interceptor) White. Thing rides like a dream 154K miles, 5.4 V8, 25MPG. Wife wanted to sell it, I wouldn't let her. To me it's worth way more than what we could get for it. I've always wanted to put a light bar on top, and paint the doors black, but wife says no. Should be a good vehicle for you. Enjoy!

    Ah yes, the push bar. Push bar, light bar, paint doors, spotlight, sit on side of road,...Priceless entertainment.

    When I had mine people were always "brake checking" me when I'd come up behind them on the interstate. Even tho it was 6-8 years old. Found out later it was the same color as the chiefs unmarked,,,,
