I just bought a 2000 P71 CV that was owned by the Chula Vista Police Dept. back in CA. Then it got owned by a taxi driver. He only had it for a month then resold it. I would have love that the taxi guy wouldn't put all the taxi decals on... but... that's OK.

I got it on a great price 790 dollars, yes seven hundred and ninety dollars. Real bargain considering all that it has. It has 2 power supply 750 watts on the back for electronics and whatnot. It has all the components for buttons on the doors and all has the center console with the command console of buttons to work a lot of lights and all. It has the laptop mount still in place, special lights for ID check or making reports at night. It has a kevlar wall between the rear passenger and driver... and just drove all a tough 180k miles on it.

It runs like a kitten. You can approach by stealth on this big car or get by speed runs great. With a top speed of 145 MPH this car handles great. It has very good mileage, it's giving me 20/25 MPG either city or highway.

I love this car. It is black with all black tint factory windows so no hassle by the cops. It does have 4 antennas on the trunk and two LED light amber on the back windows. LOL. A real nice car for someone that works at a fire department. I might get my LT promotion sooner LOL.

The standard Crown Victoria (in California) tops out at a computer governed 107 MPH, and the P-71 Interceptor is certified at 131. Was yours modified or supercharged?
