.... And the Grand Prix. I'm very happy about both. Nice job, Randy. By the way, I was the first owner of my 1988 Mustang LX 5.0 SSP after it was decommissioned and found a shotgun shell under the rear seat of it. I was pretty excited about my find, too.
About the rivits on the doors! You drill out the rivits and use nuts, lock washers and bolts in place of the rivits. I did the same on my towncar. Very simple to do yourself.
When I worked in London Ontario, the rail line to the St Thomas assembly plant ran behind the shop. Two trainloads a day of cop cars and yellow taxicabs!
Make sure to check in the back window under the the pop up covers used for car seat restraint, sometimes illegal things are hidden, be careful sometimes sharp objects are hidden. Keep up the good work
when you talked about taking pictures so you knew how to put it back together is good advice for anyone. when i rebuilt my cleveland in my aussie fairlane i took as many photos as i could and it helps a lot if you dont normally work on that particular item or if its pulled apart for months like mine was
As far as the ammunition is concerned... 223 is the caliber of the round, more than likely used in an AR-15. Speer is the manufacturer and 17 is the year is was produced (2017). The chrome colored ones are nickel plated. The ones with the weird tip are blanks meant to simulate fire for training
It's always cool to see stuff from my hometown in Ilion NY. My uncle Mike has worked for Remington for 23 years so far. Great company to work for. Plus he lives across the street so he has no commute lol
Maintenance A and B refer to the "maintenance schedule". If you look somewhere in the owner's manual (usually in the back or on a separate maintenance paperwork) you will see what Ford (or whichever manufacturer) says should be checked at different times or mileage respectively. For example, maintenance A might say "check air filter, fluids, rotate tires, replace wipers, check brakes". Maintenance B will occur at a different date and mileage and say "replace cabin air filter, check belts, change fuel filter, adjust parking brake" etc.
The padding in the trunk is sound deadener between trunk and backseat. Also keep dust down. Module/gizmo is the fuel pump driver module. Looks like some item was stuffed between backseat backrest and the padding - something black. That’s a pretty neat car with good service. Enjoy it!
Hey Cleetus2 McFarland new channel is setting up a Crown Vic race at the new Freedom Factory should try to enter would be fun watching you try to run 100 miles in the police car. On Pay for view would be cool to watch.
Randy,.223 ammo is for AR15-M16 or M3 assault rifle. Very popular with Police Departments. Take them to your local gun range or police department and they can dispose them.
I agree, that was pretty low-brow. Granted, I'm sure Tim did things that upset Randy and understandably so but like he said I think in his last video, some things should be kept within the family. And if Tim is drinking to the point of having accidents in the bed, and this comes from someone who probably drinks way too much myself but is nowhere near that level, he is someone who really needs help, not ridicule. If anything, ridiculing someone like that will likely just make things worse.
Hi Randy, In the back of the trunk there was what looked like a black folder, also check around the roof lining of the back window and any little crevices of the parcel shelf etc because criminals will hide drugs, knives etc so they don't get caught with them, if you are stopped and anything found you will get arrested and booked for anything found in the car, keep up the great content and stay safe out there 👍🏻
Glad to read that the crimped end bullets are blanks and not dum-dums. I am clueless about guns and ammo but heard about dum-dum bullets that tear a big hole in what they hit.
A is for Annual service and B is for Bi annual. The rounds are AR-15 rounds, crimped end are blanks for ceremonies. The sharps container can be disposed of at any hospital, doctors office, police department, fire department etc.
Kind of scary how careless Law enforcement is with peoples personal info like that.Why would they just leave stuff like that in a vehicle going to auction, or at all really?
I can understand copies of the tickets, as there are, I think three copies in the book, but the fingerprint card was a shock to see that in an auction car. Why would the officer have had it in the first place?
Yep blanks. BTW blanks are sometimes used by the LEO as a form of crowd control ... scares the sh..t out of a crowd. Also they can be used as a propellent charge for a end of barrel mounted launcher for a canister of things like smoke, tear gas ... etc.
@@johnpalmer5131 Never heard of that being used for crowd control. Seems like a great way to get someone trampled . Many injuries come from people running from gunshots or a blast in a crowd.
A service is basic oil change , B service is oil change , wheels pulled and rotated if required and visual brake inspection, C service is oil change , all wheels pulled and brakes pads/shoes replaced , tune up .
I'd take a ride down to Altus when you get done and I bet you can get all the service records! It also might be a good idea to give them the license plate back. Being a small town
I like the police car side with the black doors. Paint the other doors, the trunk and the hood black, you could do it yourself, just remove them from the car before painting. That way you have a pretty standard two tone civilian car (I like stealthy). You could then change the wheels to civvie "mags" or more stealthy ones. On the other hand, keeping the police steelies is like giving a hint about what you're really driving.
The gold tip bullets I’m pretty sure are 223 Remington or 5.56 nato which is what an AR15 shoots. most cops carry one the strange looking bullets are blanks probably
Lincoln and Pontiac Spotted 👀👀👀👀. (A) Service is a basic oil change. (B) service is all oil and fuel Filter changes as well as tire(s) rotation or replacement as well as Brakes ECT...
I think that the Crown Vic Police Interceptors will in the future become the next Mustang SSP- very prized collectibles. I just checked Wikipedia and the last model year of the Crown Vic Interceptor was 2011 which surprised me, I though that they were build much later than that. If there are any left in service, they have to be approaching their department's replacement age/mileage by now if they are still in service. Granted, they've built a hell of a lot more of the Crown Vic Police Interceptors than they did Mustang SSPs and for a longer period of time. That also means more people saw them more often than the Mustangs. Also, more officers used them and I have to think that that will be the biggest driver of the collector's market- law enforcement officers that depended on their old Vics in the line of duty. I'm guessing the 2nd greatest collectors of the cars are people who once rode in the back of them but now want to ride in the front. :) There was a reason that departments and officers loved those cars. They were trusty, damn near bullet-proof. They were dependable and easy to maintain. They were extremely over-built like all of the panther cars were (here's looking at you upcoming surprise Town Car). I bought my 1988 Mustang SSP at auction freshly decommissioned from the Florida Highway Patrol, ~65,000 miles, a bad 2nd gear synchro which I think that the FHP installed into all of their trooper Mustangs (nothin' a little double-clutching couldn't remedy) and 5 brand new Goodyear Eagles including a full-sized spare on a matching to the car 10-hole wheel back in about July 1993. I only got one lost bullet, a shotgun shell that I found under the rear seat so you did better than me in the lost ammunition department. :) The car was fast as hell, still had plenty of life left in it and it cost me about $3200.00 back then. It was worth every penny!!! I just saw a 90k+ mile restored one sell on Bring a Trailer for $14k+ painted in the original livery and with the light bar, spotlight and antennas still present. bringatrailer.com/listing/1992-ford-mustang-lx-5-0-3/ I think that the Crown Vic Interceptors were loved WAY more than any other modern police vehicle on the road today. Because of that, I believe that one day, these will be very collectible with a good strong market of people looking to get their hands on one. I love that you're keeping this one as original as you can, Randy. I think originality is the key to these cars. Whatever you do, don't remove the spotlight! I didn't on mine, I just painted the rest of the car back solid black, left the spotlight on and had fun with it. You should've seen the faces that people made when I went to street racing spots in it, they thought I was an undercover. LOL!!! Then, I'd run with them. I am loving this Vic project, Randy. Keep up the great work!!!!
I personally would probably shred any of those documents with somebody's personal information on them (or at least tear those parts off and shred those sections).
@@KingDavidtheRed1 maybe technically no issue, but to protect people's personal information, just to be on the safe side I'd say go ahead and shred 'em. Not because you have to by law (maybe) but because it's the right thing to do.
Just watched this video today, must have missed it yesterday. I just seen the video of trying to bringing that ponticker home and waitin for the video on the "stinkin Lincoln" ;)
Looks like Altus Police surplus auction department needs training on cleanout of vehicles... The crimped looking cartridges are blank rounds used for funerals or training...
WHY IS THERE tickets, citations, fingerprint cards and other PRIVACY ACT information so carelessly left behind, so they can fall into the hands of private citizens??
Perhaps get a hold of the police dept down there and arrange a meetup with the chief and show the car all fixed up. Then all the other things can be returned so that they can be taken care of.
Ammo is for a M4 or AR15. They had a carbine in the car. You can toss the sharps container in the trash if its empty. If not tape it up with strong tape (duct tape) & you can toss it in your trash. If you ever try a NIK kit the key is to use the smallest amount of the suspected drug you can. A tiny amount. They're accurate.
I work at Honda but A service for us is a oil and filter change and B service is a brake inspection/servicing along with an oil and filter change. Not sure if they use the same codes but that's what I think
Nice video Randy. Very informative. Why not get rid of the cage and the back seat and convert to a regular car? It still has the better rear gears and better cooling for radiator and power steering coolant. This thing can be supercharged pretty easily.
Those are some Remington shotgun, bullets and an assortment of explosive bullets. By the looks of it those are live rounds. You should take those to a gun store and have them emptied of the powder inside. By the way I love all your projects and clips.
The padding behind the backseat could be a breathing to keep the inside back cool it might be one underneath where you sit as well mine had them. But mine was gray are silver in color.
Hey Randy you can take that needle disposal container to any pharmacy, hospital, police dept., paramedic depot or fire dept and the will properly dispose of it for you.
Dude what a mess they left that car in... I got my New Mexico State 2011 P71 and it was detailed and with the back seat! Mine must have been a Commander's car because it never had a partition installed and the interior is stupid clean :) I'm now turning into a Marauder clone :)
The rifle rounds are AR15 .225 caliber. The chrome ones (live rounds) are steel cases and the others (blanks) are brass. The handbooks are your typical tyranny training courses...lol. What I love the MOST about my Copart cars are digging through the junk looking for TREASURE! ATB!
The padding is insulation. That plastic seat would be hot in the summer and cold in the winter without it. Also deadens sound from the rear of the car.
There is a pretty possibility AR15 are standard in patrol units. At least in California it became pretty routine to have them after the North Hollywood shootout. You remember when the LAPD was far out gunned by the guys robbing the bank. Blank rounds wouldn't be unusual different types of training ex schools, offices so on.
the ammunition is.223 common stuff used in civilian AR-15's and non civilian machine guns (m16), the various tips (the actual projectile "bullet" ) penetrate differently with different shapes, the case color and make up really dont matter much.. one with the cringled front end looked like a blank
