With over 1m miles on the odometer, this Ford Crown Victoria from the Obsidian Automotive collection still has what it takes to do a burnout! Hear the story behind this car and learn that you truly cannot kill a Crown Vic because it is built Ford tough.
Thank you for watching,

The Crown Vic is easily one of the most reliable cars ever made. I'm a diehard Toyota guy but I will never hesitate in buying a crown vic, I freakin love those things. Awesome vid
There is a motorweek review where they compared it head to head with the Lexus LS400 (back in 92) They said both are top of the line excellent cars for what they cost.
I own a 2011 crown vic and a 2021 toyota forerunner haha
Don't race the vic with OD on. I Learned my lesson when it shifted. Lost OD and 2nd gear.
First car was a 2000 grand marquis which I still own and gave me no mechanic issues other than power steering pump and heater core, then bought a 01 Camry 2.2 auto which gave me nothing but problems and now currently dailying an 06 Vic so far so good. EDIT:traded the 06 Vic for an 89 Grand Marquis which I also daily drive, love it
Just lifted my 2007, gonna put 32” tires on her and a locking diff.
4.6 V8 engine is the best engine Ford has ever made to date. I’ve owned 3 Crown Victoria’s and never had had any issues. My first one I had went about 465k before I had to swap engines. The oil pan had a small drip but it would’ve cost over $500 do change it out. So I decided to replace the engine for a 50k used engine from a Lincoln for $800. Love these cars!
That should not even cost 100 dollars
@@ambitousresolve1179 Major job on the older ones.
I just replaced the engine in my Vic at 103k. Wasn't getting proper oil to the passenger head and burned the cam and everything else up. That's with Mobil 1 in it its entire life. Everybody builds a lemon sometimes.
Facts
My crown vic had an abusive owner before me it no longer runs so I am gonna drop a new engine it
The crown victoria is one of the best cars ever made
Some would say the best
Best squad car ever too!
No doubt
@@WarriorOfEden3033 the best among other ford cars...
@@TheHabibalby name ANY make and model better, double dog dare ya.
This clearly shows the Crown Victoria is a true testament of time.
No doubt. It's a legend. The Grand Marquis and Town Car can do this, too.
@@LITTLE1994 - Yeah, I've got a '96 Grand Marquis that I'm hoping will outlive me.
So far it seems to be doing quite well.
@Rvqsx - I have a Tacoma and grand marquis. Great vehicles!
I have a 2003 LX, leather with 121k I bought from the estate of a 96 year old original owner who passed away. He didn't drink or go to bars. The volumous service records show he liked hanging out at the Ford service lounge having it serviced ad nauseam. Great cars.
@@LITTLE1994 4,6 ford modular is one of best engine ever made.....
I have a 2010 Crown Vic with only 30,000 miles on it. I love it.
I’m mainly a Gm guy but I give respect where it’s due. Ford nailed a few cars when they built them. The Panther platform and the Fox platform come to mind.
@CarFreak well that’s false. The 3800 is very reliable. The B Body cars are as well.
I knew it could hold up to 1 million miles. And what do you know the body looks better than some I've seen with less than 150k. Props for taking care of it
@CarFreak my 01 grand marquis has 219 mile currently, it looks alot worse cosmetically then this one, hos paint has held up amazingly.
I have been owning and driving Fords and Lincolns since the beginning of this century (2000), and never experienced an engine failure. My first foray into Ford was the Crown Victoria. It gives you the kind long wheelbase driving experience that you can’t have with any of today’s cars. Viva Ford!
I guess my 05 Grand Marquis at 122,467 miles means it's not broken in yet. Wow!!!
I know right? I have an 04 LX Sport with 123k. Just a baby
@@RipRoaringGarage Exactly! I always wanted a Crown Victoria LX Sport. But I found this Grand Marquis LSE 5 passenger interior with shifter in the center console. Didn't see one before.
@@grovermayersjr8025 Yeah, those are really nice too. I was between the Marauder and the Sport, but wasnt a fan of the white gauges and the fake aluminum trim inside. I liked the fake wood lol
@@RipRoaringGarage Yeah, I would go for digital gauges instead of white gauges myself. But, Marauders are cool if I could find one now.
@@grovermayersjr8025 I had a 99 and a 1990 Town Car with the digital gauge cluster. My 04 has the dial gauges but in the classic green letters red arrow which I like. Long term, theres less to break. I do know of two Marauders for sale in NY but right now theyre still asking too much, and theyre not mint cars. I think the prices will go down a little more before they become legitimate classic cars (as far as appreciating value)
As a limo driver I can honestly say that those Crown Victorias are pleasures to drive. Probably one of the Best cars ever made. Leave it to a American car company to begin dumb enough to stop making them.
I ordered a Grand Marquis with the special handling package and a few weird specs back in 2000 and she gave me 297,000ish miles in 9 years of hard use with a multitude of mods. She was a beast I still love.
Just these type of success stories. Great car - I have a retired 2010 P71 detectives unit w/50K. If you don't need all the high tech that today's cars have, it's a blast to drive.
Even if you want the tech its easy to add at this point. A car audio system that syncs up with a smart phone can give you GPS, voice commands, MP3 music and anything else you're likely to want and its no more complicated to install than a normal CD player.
Best car for the money!! We are lucky to have cars like these at our disposal. I don't believe we will see a car that can top the Panther car EVER! It will never happen again..._
Love the sound of that V8 purring 😍
I love how simple and comfortable these old boats are. I think I will only ever own Panther Platform vehicles.
Just bought a 2010 last week with 394,600 miles and I paid $1600 for it and was maintained all its life. Best money I ever spent drove it 300 miles in a week and I’m not disappointed whatsoever. Was a cop car from 2010-2013 then a taxi from 2013-2016 then retired. Hope I can get some more miles out of her! No issues with it whatsoever. I’m in love with it more than my ‘67 mustang hate to admit
Good thing the video got re-uploaded because it once here but suddenly got removed. Ford Panther platform vehicles are very reliable. Panther love for life.
I live in New England with one of these. I’m always told that the body and frame will rust out before the engine dies. I’m sure that’s true, even with it being garage kept and not driven in the snow. I also got it rust proofed to the best of my ability, and it has basically no rust.
It’s funny how the zero to 60 on mine is about 6 seconds. It can cruise on the highway at 90mph with no problem.
@@jonathantanasi2557 On flat interstates my digital gas gauge reads in the low 30s . I have 2.73
That intake manifold is hanging on for life
I know Crown Victorias can last well over 250,000 if kept under good hands, but 1 MILLION is really impressive, and the car itself didn't look messed up! Best thing is this is from a civilian model not the police P71. This is one of the proofs why all Panthers are Ford Tough, and the Vic was so loved by both police/taxi services for 33 years.
Made in Canada , they make the best American cars.
Best sedan ever made along side the ls400, there will never be a car like those 2 ever period.
My crown Vic has 345K on it. I swear by Ford’s Panther platform. They are great cars ❤️
This is the main reason why I bought my 2008 Lincoln town car in April of 2010 with 33,000 miles now it has 221,616 miles. My goal for now is driving this Panther platform to the 500,000 mark. Thumbs up 👍 👍 👍
NOTHING LIKE THE CROWN VICTORIA OH MAN WHAT A SEDAN
I paid $4,700 for my 2011 Crown Victoria P7B SAP with 107k miles and 6300 engine hours. I have no regrets. The car doesn't leak/use/burn a single drop of fluid. It runs great. It's fast. It's easy to work on. It's sharp unlike most CVPIs. Before buying it I looked at several "bulletproof" Honda and Toyota makes. All of them had issues due to poor maintenance by dumb owners.
It's If memory serves, I was reading in an automotive magazine when Ford first brought out the 4.6L engines, that one of the design criteria was the engine lasting at least 230,000 miles with no significant parts failures or issues. Mine's an '08, and I intend to keep it as long as I can. None of the new vehicles interest me in the least, and I've never been a Mustain guy. The sad thing is the only way Ford could get law enforcement departments to start buying the Taurus and Explorer police models was to kill the Crown Vic. Admittingly, the major reason Ford killed the Crown Vic is they didn't want to spend the money on equipping it with a stability control system for the upcoming 2012 mandate as well as equipping it with a mandated backup camera.
They definitely should’ve.
They dropped because of fuel mileage
Also side impact test requirements were getting stricter, the internal structure of the body shell dated to 1979, and the exterior sheet metal dated to 1992, Ford didn't see it as economically viable to re-engineer such an old body to pass the new standard.
I've got the brother of the crown victoria - A Grand Marquis. 2 of them actually! A 1999 and a 2004. Both relatively young in mileage but I do enjoy a good long road trip with them!
The Grand Marquis is pretty much a Lincoln Continental with just a few less bells and whistles but quite a few dollars cheaper & cheaper insurance, you just can't beat the way those cars float down the highway. Btw I have two 99 f-150s, a 4x4 for winter and a 2wd for summer.
There is a reason that Police stations drove these forever with some still on the road.
I bought a 2006 Grand Marquis 6 years ago with only 26k miles. It now has 90k with not a single mechanical issue since.
We bought our 2011 Grand Marquis 3 years ago with 90k miles now it has almost 160k and nothing has happened. Besides preventative maintenance the ownership cost is basically $0
@@jonathantanasi2557 So cool! I’m looking forward to reaching 100k and beyond!
@@DONVITO223 oh yeah that’ll be no problem. Most likely a few hundred thousand depending on how long you keep it.
My 03 Grand Marquis will need a new intake manifold in the long run. 😔
My Vic is about to click over 300k, and yes, these things refuse to die. Mind you, it's not the original engine, and I've recently had the transmission rebuilt, so not all that impressive, but I'm pretty confident that it'll get there with some TLC. Not bad for a beaten-up 'ol P71.
What went wrong with the engine?
@@ocrapo9327 Valve stem seals started to go out, started burning oil. Mechanic said I could have the heads worked on, or spend a bit more for a remanufactured engine. Decided to go that route since I knew I'd be putting many more miles on the car.
@@bravotronalpha3787 so how come this guy in the YT video said his car reached 1 million on the same original engine and tranny, you have the same original enigine and tranny that this guy did...is the YT owner lying?
@@andy_182 No, I wouldn't say he's lying. I had my engine rebuilt because the valve stem seals started to leak, causing oil to burn. It was a better investment to get a rebuilt engine instead of just having the heads worked on. My car however was an old, beat-up police cruiser. Depending on the dept, cops will beat the crap out of their cars, and surprisingly they still have a lot of life left by the time they go to auction. They're fairly easy to work on, so it's not impossible to still have the same transmission and engine for 1 million miles if you keep up with the maintenance and things that will inevitably break.
Panther platform cannot be beat. My 2006 LTC has about 550k on the clock and still going strong.
I hope this car keeps going for at least another 500k miles.
Nobody cares about a million mile ford, because there's so damn many working their way up there. How many of them have you seen nearly at 500k and it still running as good as a 50k one.
I have two 1998 Ford Crown Victorias one with 56,000 miles and one with 87,000 miles excellent condition and I love them
As a fellow Crown Vic owner, I appreciate this fellow spending his money to preserve this piece of history.
Someone has to preserve this rich piece of history. Lets blow the transmission!
I have a 2011 crown Vic with 350,000 miles I may get 1 million miles out of it
Plenty of videos of Vics doing burnouts stock. It’s the finale drive & the open diff
Right. With the 2.73 rear end you get great MPG (28 to 30 highway), but no chance of burn outs. With the 4.11 rear gear, you can do burn outs, but only 22MPG highway.
Damn my mercury marauder has 210 thousands and still fearless 😁
Thats one big fuck yeah in toyotas face 🤣 a toyota right off the start can’t do burnout let alone a million mile one. Would just blow the engine but this crown vic just gave it a midle finger of american fuck yeah right in its face ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Die hard toyota guy, but have 2 crown vics, a grand marquis, and an LTC in my driveway. Loving it
I beat the piss out of my 200k miles crown Vic, jumped, learning to drift, tons of donuts, and still taking me 80miles round trip for work, definitely holds up to my acura which is also about to hit 200k
Does it take a lot of gas? Or is it like all other cars
@@Jubin0426 I sold that car about a year ago. Would recommend the car if your on flat freeways, I’ve seen over 30mpg from barstow to Vegas, a touch worse as my 17’ IS350, just in the city it gobbled gas, I think it got like 11-13 mpg, but not as bad as you’d expect.
Damn, not to kiss ass but this looks to be in better shape than most cars on the rode
I think your pushing your luck trying to do a burnout with a car with 1000000 miles on it. Please be nice to the old girl, she's earned it. Im a crown vic owner myself, best car I have ever owned, 200k and still going strong.
I have an 05 lx sport. I bought brand new. I'm the original owner. Factory sunroof car. Automatic on the floor. 185,500 miles and running strong
Truly legit. I remember seeing this car in the news a few years back. Teenager burnouts though are absurd....good way to totally blow the whole thing up.
Great documentary on this car. Need to make an update.
Maybe the traction control was on, these things can roast the tires pretty hard without too much persuasion. Unless shes just that tired, but it seemed to accelerate ok. Im going with it had TC on.
I bought my Crown Vic from Joe Cooper Ford too! I still have mine. Its a Sport LX though...I dont have nearly as many miles, but inside still looks new.
Take it from me, these cars are unreliable money pits.
If anyone has one, I'll take it off your hands.
-Chuck
Super unreliable
Why are YOU saying this?
@@LITTLE1994
Yo Little,
I guess I need to work on my sarcasm. lol
-Chuck
@@PanzerPlatform No no no. Theyre crap! I WILL take it off your hands. I might even pay you lol. Im not being sarcastic...at laeast about the taking it off your hands part
Lmao!
This car may have been part of the reason Ford has revised their previous recommendation of 5W-30 for this generation of vehicles to now 5W20.
Driving a V8 powered car is addicting. The sound and the torque. I previously owned a nissan maxima, now daily drive a mustang gt, never want to drive a car with less than 8 cylinders anymore…
Beat the tar out of these cars when I was a cop. Tough as nails and reliable!
My 2011 P7B has only 130k miles :)
It runs on propane and gasoline!
Gives me some issues once a while but nothing related to the motor and transmission.
This year, I replaced the fuel tank, as it got rusted and was leaking. Also, currently the AC does not work at first 2 speeds; so needs a blower motor resistor replaced
I'm very abusive with my 2003 P71 crown victoria. I push it every day to its limit, I've done a lot of maintenance and repairs since I've gotten it, it's sitting at 209k as of this morning. I got it last year in June at 173k miles. It's been 15 months. I'm building a 5.4 for the car at the moment, for more torque. It'll be built just like the 4.6 but with CNC 2v heads, stronger springs, and probably a stronger rotating assembly
This video never gets old
locked diff car, the best
I have a 2010 Police Interceptor, got it with 72,900ish back in August and now it has 76,000. Got it from a mechanic who decommissions cars, and before that it was a University of Alabama Campus Police car. Hope I get this lucky. My only worry is all the idle hours would probably not allow this to happen.
Nah, rust is the only thing to worry about especially the rear quarter panels.
Regular maintenance and replacement of worn out parts is all you’ll need to do
You have absolutely nothing to worry about my friend just do seasonal oil changes and any little maintenance that pops up and the car will run forever your probably gonna wind up doing a set of coil packs, intake, electric problems such as switches or motors (window for example) and the trans might need to be serviced down the road but that 4.6 will never stop running if it’s in the right hands
@@thenattydaddyproject my crown vic its jerks and engine light is on what is that you think ?
If this isn't the testament to what Ford is about. I dream my first and only car, my 2014 mustang goes that long, because i feel I have everything I want in one car with my stang. 5W/20 every 5-7k. I still want to own a Vic in my lifetime, always been a lifelong fav behind the stangs.
Rare Spruce Green 2002 LX P74 one owner. I have owned it for 9 years. 220,000 miles.
Notable maintenance
New timing chain due to wear and tear
New valve cover gaskets
Exhaust manifold leaks
Break booster
Tie rods
Oil pan gasket
AC door fluctuator
I love my car and plan to fully restore it in the near future. There will be videos of my project.
Amazing. I love my 2011 LX.
I also love my 2011 LX
I worked at a ford dealer many years ago, and an expediter's diesel econoline came in with a million miles and a frozen odometer at 999,999. The customer wanted it reset. As I recall the tech had to call the factory engineers and it was a real debacle because nobody anywhere ever figured that garbage would make it that far.
Jeeze million mile mobiles never stop
Part of the reason I bought a crown vic is because my uncles 94 Thunderbird with posi, we called it the thunderturd, we did donuts, burnouts, jump railroad tracks, go offroading beat the living crap out of it and then drive it out of state mutiple times no problem and he barely did any maintenance to it. Eventually the transmission did fail but it was after years of abuse and he would netural drop it and chirp the tires at 55mph. I miss the beast, but my uncle made some poor choices🍺💊 and sold it for basically nothing. 🤷♂️
Awesome
My family thinks I have my 03 LX because people think they’re all cop cars, but really my first car that I actually loved was a 97 interceptor lol If I knew anything worth knowing about Crown Vics, I’d still have it!
I had a town Car 2003 with 235k and it was unbelievable great. Those Panther platform WITH V8 4.6L by ford is by far the best quality and reliability ford has ever made in my opinion. Similar to the Legendary GM V6 3800L. I don't what happened to those American Car companies, many of current cars by Ford or GM struggle to reach 150,000 miles. That is why people Trust more Honda and Toyota. If American companies want their market share back. DO RELIABLE CARS LIKE BACK IN THE DAY. QUITE SIMPLE.
Awesome 😀🍾
Open the glove box and turn off the traction control. My base model had that button, I’d have to turn it off in order to brake stand.
Also, I’d love those Oklahoma plates. I daily my LX.
Hell yes!!
I'm on fuel pump number four at 96k miles.
The AC compressor had to be replaced at 93k miles, but that should not have been needed. Took it to a mechanic twice, and a second mechanic, trying to troubleshoot the AC compressor staying on when it should not be (mode set to heat). They were unable to find the problem. The AC eneded up burning up when it came on when the outside temp was in the 30s. After they replaced everthing, the problem of it running all the time was still occuring. I tracked it down to a stuck relay. Works great now.
Get a computer reflash!
It sounds like the mechanics that took care of that car are locking on the trouble shooting department.
Got an 05 grand marquis. 240k miles. Runs awesome
This car served its owner well, then fell into the wrong hands. Burnouts, full throttle, flying around corners. Good way to accelerate its death.
Wow!!
They aren't geared for burnouts they had a 2.73 a 3.08 and sometimes if you got lucky a 3.55 but they were made to be cruisers and they are still the kings of the highway
Mines a 2.73 it will roast the tire, I think he was just too heavy on the brakes.
I've had a 3.27 and currently a 3.55. Could make the tires chirp with the 3.27, and the 3.55 fares better, especially with Trac-Lok.
It's got a million miles, bound to lose some power. They only had 225 to start with.
4.10 with a 2800 stall for mine 😎 waiting for the converter to get here
Makes my 200k crown Vic feel new lol
" it has a million miles so I'd like to preserve it" starts flying around the corners with that bad boy ahahah. Im not hatin, just thought it was funny. Just bought a 98 lincoln town car executive series with 88k miles and no rust at all. Hoping I can make it to 500k miles. Loving it so far. Love the panther platforms
Million miles worth of farts in those seats
😂🎯 LMAO x 2-your reply and your screen name,, both true statements!! FJB🖕 better known as Mr Potato Head.💩
@@yukonjack. lol
If you drop it into 1st gear it usually breaks the rear loose a lot easier than keeping it in drive. Also keeps it from shifting while sliding which saves your slide and your transmission
My 03’ Vic has 90,000 miles it’s still like new and burnouts for as long as you want I got a lotta miles to go no more burnouts 😝
You still doing burnouts? Lol I picked up a 2010 and it burns rubber no problem at 155,000
I have a grand marquis with 160K miles on it. It just never dies. If something is wrong, it is easy and cheap to fix. Most reliable car ever.
I’ve pampered my 1999 Vic,only 146 k .but have had multiple issues .from steering to a/c to manifold leaks now the dang fuel pump just went out ..
I bought my 06 Crown Vic LX with 170k for $2k cash last october and so far I've only put a new alternator on it , 4 oil changes (its now time to change it again) and 2 tires ... However , instead of running 5w-20 , im running shell rotella 10w-30 and i change the oil every 2,000 miles regardless and ive got some marvel mystery oil to run through it this time ... Other thsn the drivers window not wanting to roll up sometimes , Its in almost mint condition but every so often the check engine light comes on and all i have to do is give it around ¼ throttle and the light goes off ... I thought it was from the oil being to thick so the next time it came on i had O'Riley's diagnostics check it and it was the #6 coil pack misfiring so im fixing to do a full tune up on it as soon as i get the $200 to spare for all new plugs and coils and then have the time to fix it but yeah , i love my crown vic and i pray it makes it to the 1 million miles club one day ...
My gramps has three crown vics' all have over 1million miles. He runs a taxi stand 🚕🚕🚖🚖
bro make a youtube video, you'll make $30K in ads. people love those cars
As Americans we should be proud
My 2 main problems with the Crown Vic and other Panther platforms are 1. It's so big on the outside yet you have almost no legroom in either row, the dash is just too close to the seats. 2. The Caprice/Roadmaster/Impala SS came out 9 years before the best boby style Panther with more power and the same efficiency, arguably better ride and a little more room, plus a wagon version, and a 5k towing capacity, so comparatively, it is just weak. That being said, the Panther is obviously durable and able to go and go and go.
When built Ford tough mean something
Love my Crown Victoria P71 ! 😎👍🏻
I have a 2004 Mustang GT Convertible with the 4.6 2V, only has 150,000 miles with no issues. I'm good for another 850,000 miles!! Lol
Give the Crown Vic to Stunt Man on Neautral Drop. He'll get that thing to do a burn out ,Lol
This proves these panther platforms cars such as the Town Car,Crown vic and grand marquis are very reliable if taken care of..I love the Town cars out of the three.
How much did you end up paying for a one million mile vic?
My 1998 Crown Vic is a beast, and is da best car I ever owned ever
I want this video to have more views 😂
He should be on his fifth or sixth plastic intake manifold by now!
This is cool as fuck! I bought my first 2003 grand marquis LS 4 months ago. 1 car owner 82k on it and maintained very well. I will continue the maintenance... My goal was 350k and absolutely love the ride of the car. The car is super easy to work on.
That's an average of 55,000/yr.
you should sell all the fluids for scientists to analyze :)
May not pass the piss test! Lol. Its pump up!
for carbon dating?
Truly underated video
900000 mls since last proper interior clean.
I daily drive an 07’ Crown Vic P71 and I really drive the fuck out of it she’s got 261,000 miles on it and it still runs like an absolute animal greatest daily driver ever built I will never look back from a Crown Vic as my daily driver Biden’s gonna have to take mine from my cold dead hands if he thinks I’m going electric lol
That being the performance improved engine and still not being able to break the tires loose tells me it was probably due to a lack of power from being more worn than it just being the 4.6.
My 98 with the less powerful engine would break them loose from a standstill no problem and I could do a burn out this way with absolutely no problem.
Mine is a 1996 i got it with 61k orignal miles, blew the headgaskets due to the intake being broken lol. Replaced intake and had heads and block redone, now at 83k no problems exept it eats maf sensors lol
