My New Project Car

[ColoradoSkiCountry]

Picked her up from Heath, Ohio this past week and drove her back to Denver. She's in good shape mechanically and on the outside, however the inside was more or less trashed thanks to a lazy fire department person. I've already removed the decals (except the lower reflective stripe) lightbar, and internal equipment. I also pulled out the carpet which was trashed and will eventually replace with the "rubber" floor that most departments used. This makes my 4th Crown Vic and my 3rd Police Interceptor.

 

1996 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor 76,000 miles. Former Heath Ohio Fire Department Chief's car. I'll be driving her for a few months once I sell my D-Max until I get me a new (used) Sierra

Hey Ryan, I love your new police interceptor hot rod!!! You'll have a blast with that! It looks like it's in good shape too. I've always wanted one of those.

[KMGZ400]

ive always wanted one of those only to make people get out of my way

[ColoradoSkiCountry]

it was looking sharp and good until I took the decals and lightbar off She looks naked now

[KMGZ400]

i would have left the lightbar on... put your own decals on... something cool.. make up your own fire department haha

Did you keep the siren?

[ColoradoSkiCountry]

That was the first thing I removed. (Old Federal Signal control box but it still works well) the speaker/horn is still mounted somewhere underneath. Having spent a few years with a Sheriff's Office, and having had a string of impersonators here in Colorado, I'm not going to risk anything. The department I got the car from requested that I remove the red lenses for the lightbar and they would keep them so I ordered a yellow lens kit and put her on before I drove back to Colorado. The lightbar works awesome, and I've had expierence with the Whelen strobe systems so I may have use for the bar again someday on a future truck.

Not too shabby. I'm an hour or so from Heath (well, whenever I live back home)

[KMGZ400]

yeah maybe when you find your GMT800 you should put a backrack on there and mount that siren on there that would be sweet
