As long as we're showing off cars...

[DavidsAwesome]

Just picked this one up a little over a week ago.

The holes pictured that are covered in duct tape were plugged yesterday, I'll have new pics up of that shortly. I'm gonna pick up the spot lights on ebay, get it painted all black, paint the rims, install a new radio, aaaand a couple other things I haven't thought of yet.

It's an 01 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. 80,000 miles, 4.6L v8.

Is it even legal to own? You should totally install some lights on the top :lol:

In the US it's legal to own decommissioned police cars. Light bars would not be legal if they had the same pattern/colors as the lights in his jurisdiction.

Decommissioned police cars are known as "welfare cars" around here.

Well, after you see the work I'm putting into it, you won't think so. I have at least $2,000 planned for this car.

Welfare cars? :eek3:

I'd love that car and I agree with getting some lights added to the top lol.

If you were going to go black with the car and were wanting to put some lights on it to show off I wouldn't do it with lights on the top. Get something like this instead

Naturally make sure if you were to use something like that it is only on private property and such

Many decommissioned police cars aren't sold around here, but given to people on welfare who need a car to get to their jobs, or drive their kids around. Not entirely sure how the program works, or if they have to pay anything for them, all I know is them's welfare cars.

I need to go to Indiana then... cuz these cars are nice.

Damn! Around here most of the decommissioned cruisers become taxis. The ones that taxi companies don't buy are auctioned off really cheap.

You don't need a tach unless you're doing some kind of racing and need to stay within your powerband ... I drove a 4sp 1995 Jeep Cherokee without a tach for almost 2 years.

It might be a private welfare agency that's buying them up, I'm not sure. That'd make more sense, actually. But they're still welfare cars.
