2008 Ford Crown Victoria P71 SAP

[Miami-Dade]

When are you heading up this way?

First week in October and leave December 1. I stay in Secaucus N.J but I am all over NYC and North on I-95.

Will shoot you a PM in October with my number and we will set up a day working with your schedule.

The cat-back exhaust showed up yesterday when I was at work so I texted my mechanic today and he can get the car in tomorrow so if all goes well by tomorrow night the exhaust will be installed.

Yay!

Went ahead and ordered a pair of Motorcraft steering wheel switches so I can get the volume buttons for the radio working and move the cruise control over to the other side I picked up the correct harness a few weeks back, might replace the actual steering wheel too since it needs to be pulled to route the harness. My wheel isn’t in terrible shape just the top portion is no longer textured it’s smooth from use I missed out on two NOS wheels Ford no longer sells the black ones new they still sell other colors, or maybe a near mint used one will pop up.

The cat-back is on what an ordeal that was. So apparently Stainless Works tried the fitment of the cat-back on various 03-11 cars and none of them had the fire suppression setup well where those tanks mount underneath the exhaust wouldn’t clear there since it’s bigger then stock so they ended up having to remove the FSS and in order to do that you need to drop the rear end could have cut it out but I’m hoping I might find a buyer for the complete system. So it’s on there now I’ll post pics of the exhaust setup latter on here’s the FSS that was removed took some weight off the car tho each tank is 80ish pounds I kinda wish I could have kept it but this exhaust setup was worth it, if it doesn’t sell I’ll just keep it incase I ever sell the car.

Weird looking!

It definitely is, was like a $3,500 option from Ford back in the day but I wanna say CSP paid 2k per car maybe because literally every Vic they bought had it.

Here’s the pics of the exhaust, I definitely like the look of it and it sounds great, it’s pretty tame at idle you can tell it isn’t the factory setup but it isn’t really loud, sounds great under WOT. I’ll get vids at some point. The front and rear bumper are on the list to possibly be replaced at some point they do have some wear from it’s past CSP life but I kinda like the wear on them.

Florida HP used Marauders?

Florida HP used Marauders?

All unmarked. They had about 8 or 10 of them. They caught a ton of motorists speeding out on I-95 and I-75. Saw most of them in my neck of the woods. All had 5% percent tint all around. They were kept spotless. They were donated. They never mentioned who donated them. I wish I bought one of them when they were retired. The FHP takes good care of their vehicles.

Those were pretty badass back in the day it’s a cool story to read about, and ya it kinda does sound like a Marauder

And I wanna say iirc they were sold off with less then 100k miles

Actually it was 75k miles here’s an article about them.

Very interesting article. Thanks for posting the link. Whoever bought one is pretty lucky. Reminds me of the B4c police Camaros from Texas and Florida.
