Need to Know info! Please Read!Just to inform those who may not know The P71 model code was not used until 1993!All models under 1993 used P72 which stand for fleet model all police and taxis where P72's! But only the police models had the high output V. and Certified 140mph speedometer. Yes, the 1992 is the newer body style but it is still a P72 with the police package option. All Police and taxi shared the P72 code up until 1993. There are police models with 5.0's and 5.8's! Thank youad all terms before bidding!
This car is excellent for those that want a vehicle that is gaining popularity with the collectors…..keep in mind that Ford killed off the Crown Victoria line so these cars in excellent condition will become scarce especially the already hard to find Police Models.

On Aug-31-26 at 20:22:17 PDT, seller added the following information:
Is the mileage accurate? Car has a 5 digit odometer reading 49,753, per history report last reported mileage was 77,624 (10/31/1997) based on that and its current condition I am assuming its actual mileage is 149,753. I do believe this is accurate. Even that is low mileage for a police car this old. The car has been in collector hands most its after service life from what I was told by previous owner who I bought it from. Actual mileage is unknown, and vehicle is exempt from mileage reporting due to age. Does mileage really matter on a car like this anyway? It’s an old police car I expect high mileage. Anyone would just be happy to find it this complete and in this condition! If your worried about mileage, I would suggest finding grandma’s LX driven only on Sundays. This car is being driven on short runs and test drives so mileage will go up.
On Aug-31-26 at 20:24:46 PDT, seller added the following information:
Can you find a spare wheel and tire for it? Yes I plan on including one if I can find one prior to pick up. I will let buyer/winner know.
On Aug-31-26 at 20:30:37 PDT, seller added the following information:
I plan on having it picked up by transporter, will it drive on and off truck? does the parking brake hold and is there anything in the trunk? Yes, the car will drive on and off the truck. Yes the parking brake works and holds. Transmission in park holds too. Only thingh in trunk will be a spare tire and wheel if I find one by pick up time.
