Roadrunner Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 1) It looks like my city will stick with the Crown Vic instead of move to the Charger (assuming the Dodge is not BOF) :hyper: 2) I wonder if most jurisdictions have similar modificiation requirements. Scroll down 5 pages and check out the local requirements for cop car vehicle suppliers in my city: http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/procure/html/ifb_rfps/083040.doc I loved the "Radio delete -- no exceptions" I don't know, random. Figured I would share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparcEE Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Actually I found "Scotch lock electrical connectors are not acceptable to connect wiring." even more funny...wonder what kind of wiring they have received in the past?

RichardJensen Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I liked how all the stuff to make the rear doors operational was to be tagged and included in a bag in the trunk. I wonder if that's the voice of past experience there--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's the voice of past experience there--- Don't know about the USA but FoA and FoE have had child lock switches for decades on rear doors. Thers a little switch next to the door lock that's inaccessible when the door is shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had those since at least 85. My 85 GM had them so who knows how much longer they have been avalible. Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJensen Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 For when they sell the car off at the end of it's service life. I know. I just got a humorous mental image of a garage rep being instructed to fit out the patrol car for auction, taking the door panel off, and then realizing that he was missing a lot of parts, and cutting loose with a few of his favorite profanities.

630land Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 A big DUH, the LX Mopars are NOT BOF! Some assume simply because they are RWD. THe old beloved Mopar cop cars were all unibody! Shocking, I know to some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang_Marty Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I love this.... "All vehicles keyed alike. (Key code 1294X)" Anyone want a slightly used police crusier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnFan Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 We've had those for quite a while too. Problem is a clever suspect could trip that switch while being inserted into the car-- Wait a sec, the stupid cops use the child lock to stop me from opening the door? Dammit. Next time I am caught for "Drifting" I am breaking fucking free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P71_CrownVic Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Panthers Rule Baby No they don't. We have been told repeatedly by the yes-crew cheerleaders, who are always right mind-you, the the Panthers suck and only make Ford look bad.

fredCanex Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 anybody know about the new alternators on the '08 crown vic interceptors? I hear they are high output. Does ford give a guarantee on that part and for how long? A concerned rebuilder Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rscalzo Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 All the CV/PI I've ever bought for patrol duty never had the door equipment in the trunk, only the door guards. The dealer must take them out before delivery.. Ford Fleet has tons of information on the conversion into a patrol unit. The supply templates to install equipment in the passenger compartment and the trunk area for safe operation. Their list of options is also impressive. You just have to know where to look for them.
