Wow!!!! I don't know what to say.......the word's amazing, awesome and even overwhelming come to mind!!! Obviously he has a passion for the CV...... I give you credit for helping him out!!! But he's definitely collected the top cv's in the world!!
Same reaction from me Joe. All I could say was wow a million times. This is such a unique collection. There is nothing like it anywhere in the world!
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars Al I don't want to create any competition for you but Mike could definitely make the #1 CZcams channel for Crown Vic's........ I mean he has at least 85 episodes ready to go!!!!
@Jmz488 LOL, he has at least a year and a half of Crown Vic content 😁
Wish I could get me one since I'm planning to go college and I need a car to get to North Carolina.
Yeah TJ Hooker and Matlock vibes man😅
I worked at the plant that produced the Crown Vics, in St. Thomas Ontario, Canada. I watched the last one roll off the line in 2011. It was a white body color with the police interceptor package. I believe it was sent to Saudi Arabia. Everyone who worked on that last car singed the frame, chassis, under the door panels, basically anywhere not visible to the customer. If someone ever found it and took it apart they would find hundreds of signatures of the people who built it.
Nice
I have a 2010 you probably laid hands on my car
There is a video of that moment in youtube
I got a Ontario made Crown Vic! Thanks for helpimg build her!
So cool dude. I'm glad to be in the live in the same province that my favorite car was made in. Even better I live only an hour and a half away.
This is the cleanest, largest Crown Vic collection I have ever seen.
It's absolutely mind blowing!
I know of one that’s definitely larger! 😂
And last probably.
You forgot "only" as a descriptor.
Opposite from cleetus collection
I thought Cleetus had the worlds largest crown Vic collection 😂 don’t let him anywhere near this place!
Yeah Cleetus has about twice as many as this guy. Of course they aren't quite in the same condition.
Cleetus says he has at least or over 150
I came here to say this lol
they made over 5 million of the panther chassis cars. cleetus didnt affect their pricing
@13:34 He's collecting all these Crown Vics years after production was canceled. It is absolutely wild to me that he managed to buy two identical cars with SEQUENTIAL VINS!. In that color, no less!
Cop cars so ugh no shit
Love em@@Anonymous-jj9yu
@@Anonymous-jj9yu They aren't all cop cars. Most here are the civilian models.
@@ryanwhite7991 they're mostly Street Appearance Packages which are actually police ones (though I must say myself that all of the ones in this video are boring as hell)
From Texas, I have the utmost respect and admiration for Mr. Mike. He's a true gentlemen and pleasure to deal with......a genuine car guy that loves what he's doing. Glad he's preserving these iconic interceptors.
Mr. Mike is definitely a true gentleman and his collection is one of a kind.
Where is this ?
@@swyz9511I heard at the beginning it's somewhere in NY.
If I were to take a guess, it's either some small town in Long Island or somewhere in upstate NY.
Regardless, this is amazing.
Ohhh my favorite car ever! unfortunately, it's impossible to get it in my country, which is a bit disappointing 😢
man if i ever become a millionaire , id have a similar collection.
Mike is one of the most meticulous car enthusiasts in the World. Finest cars you could ever see or lay your hands on. Thanks Al for the awesome video footage and walk through. POLICE INTERCEPTOR SUPERSTORE…
You are very welcome! Mike is an absolute gentleman and a class act! There aren't many guys like him left.
Holy smoke! Nice cars. It’s a shame they no longer produce such cars. Can not beat the ride and safety of a large sedan. Thanks for sharing Mike’s collection.
thank you Mike for preserving these cars unlike youtubers destroying these for no reason
It is much easier to destroy something than to preserve it.
Oh my good gosh I have 11 and thought that was a lot. This is heaven.
I have (3) Cr Vic Sports. (2) With Sunroof
I have always loved this body style. When the Marauder came out I had to buy one. I absolutely love my 2004.
Still a dream car to me
No style just boring
@newfaceKeeganmurray maybe to you it is ..
This is probably my favorite car collection I've ever seen. What's even more impressive is they are all in pristine condition, I can't fathom how someone can keep up with that many cars. People in this guys NY town have to be asking him all the time if they can buy cars off him. The rust would've ate these cars up long ago under years of normal use.
Awesome collection I recently lucked out big-time. My friend's grandfather passed away we were cleaning out his house I looked in the garage and I saw a crown Vic I'm like what you going to be doing with that he's like I don't care give me $500 and it's yours. After I cleaned off like an inch of dust lo and behold I found a 2004 LX Sport. 77000 original miles. Platinum color the monochrome paint scheme really makes the five-spoke rims pop. What I really like is how many young guys come up to me and admire old-school Detroit iron instead of the import tin-can fart knockers 🌝
Nice to see someone preserving a car that should still be made today, don’t know why they discontinued them. They were so luxury inside. Always wanted one the marauder edition they looked sick.
This is amazing. I hope these all stay preserved. It's like a police department of the early 2010s
Absolutely beautiful collection of Crown Vics, I could only dream lmao
I could live in that garage full time 😁
Over the years I’ve had several Thunderbirds, Mustangs, and other cars, but I still miss my 1992 blue on blue Crown Victoria. Needed a car in a pinch about 1996, bought this from a friend of a friend after his grandfather passed away. It had something like 12,000 miles on it and had been garaged. Thought I’d keep it six months or so, kept it four years. I was only in my 30s and friends teased me about my “grandpa car“, but I still really enjoyed it. The day I sold it I knew it was a mistake to let it go.
I think I just messed my pants lol I've heard about some guy in New York buying up all the clean Crown Vics, this must be the guy! It's so amazing I'm speechless! Truly unbelievable. I've never been more jealous haha!
I have a 2001, 225.000 miles. Runs great. Drive it everyday. Got it at an estate sale 5 years ago for $ 1.000. My junker. 5 years, water pump, belt, and that's it. 24 mpg on the highway. Great stereo, comfortable, air suspension already replaced. Great car.
give you credit there! awesome deal!
@joesmith9216 nobody was as surprised as me !
as a 16 y/o who has dreamed of owning a p71 since i was 10-11, this guy’s collection is like a DREAM
These were such great police cars. If Ford would have kept the body the same, but added the 5.0L Coyote V8, either the 6 or 10 speed transmission, and an AWD option…these would continue to remain a very competitive cruiser.
As a fellow Crown Vic owner, I had to pick my jaw up off the floor! Mine is a 06 LX sport edition in silver birch with 52000 miles. Love those cars. Great collection! Mitch Banner Linville NC
Wow 😮 take them into a museum - every Vic is a piece of history ❤ thanks for collecting 👍
The up keep has to be insane keeping 85 cars running and driving!
The holy grail of collections. I thought i was bad owning 12 CVPIs.
The best most dependable cars Ford ever made! My family has 5 of these and all have between 200k and 500k all still running strong! The perfect daily driver IMO
I hope cleetus doesn't see this 😂😂
Thank you for keeping these off the streets and out of tweaked hands
What A Terrific Ford Crown Victoria Collection-Holy Cow! And How!
Thanks Mike! Don't be too hard on yourself this collection is beautiful! Couldn't ask for a nicer property. These aren't junk cars this is a museum. He has them color sorted! He must have retired young he has so much free time.
I like the two tone with the cage.
Dont show Cleetus
Thank you for saving so many of these works of art. Really the end of an era, such a shame to see such a beautiful vehicle Fade Into the past
It's pretty cool/insane! I guess that's where most of the CV's went ahaha. Too bad there aren't more LTD versions from the 80's in the collection. It's like people forget to collect those. @13:38 The "sister" cars should be kept together.
It saddens me to know one of my all-time favorite vehicles are slowly becoming non-existent. I just absolutely love, & cherrish, the ford crown victoria. I have had a passion for these cars ever since I've been old enough drive, but can never afford one for myself. I still have hope that maybe someday I will eventually get my hands one, & hopefully it'll be a well kept one.
Largest Crown Victoria collection I have ever seen ! I only saw one of the older square bodied Crown Victoria's which are my favorites. 1991 or older are the ones I collect. I have a 1991 LX wagon and a 1987 wagon and a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis LS 50th Anniversary edition sedan one of only 250 built with that exterior gold anodized trim package. All are great cars and missed by many Police departments. Mike you truly have a magnificent collection. Hat's off to you sir.
I worked at a Ford dealer in 1986 and1987 and loved doing pre delivery inspection and test drive on the Crown Vics Ive liked them ever since.
Hi Mike, My 1987 Ford was purchased used from Crowley Lincoln/Mercury in Bristol, Ct. in June of 1988, one of two they had on their lot. The one I chose was in Sand Beige color the other in White. Both were former Ford Executive cars and were equipped identically except for color. It was my understanding that Ford routinely allowed their executives a new car every year and turned the used ones out to the dealers for sale. My 87 had 18,000.0 miles on it when purchased and the white car had 21,000.0 miles on it. Both were well equipped with most power options except for cornering lamps and power antennas with only the drivers seat powered. Thanks for the reply.@@mikeclassing5263
Wowi hope These Cars will come in good Hands they deserve It Here in Germany you get nothing under 14 k in good Condition I bought my self a Florida Vic from Plantation Police high miles and a lot idel Hours but full Outfittet and Rust free . Good luck for selling these Amazing Cars and great Respect And greetings from Germany,🇩🇪
The Guinness Book of World Records should reward this man for an amazing and monumental work
make sure mike keeps those panther bodies away from cleetus macfarlane at all costs
Yeah, he is aware!
Cleetus likes worn out vics
Cleetus appreciates a nice CV too. He gets the worn out ones for racing. It gives the worn out ones a second life and popularity by racing them, otherwise they would end up getting crushed and turned into a chinese fry pan.
Great collection of vehicles. I worked at the St.Thomas Assembly Plant for 23 years, and saw a lot of these beauties roll by. As for the sunroof, no CVs in the Panther platform (EN95) ever had sunroofs, and once production of the Town Car moved to our plant (2008) the sunroof was not an option.
My CV has a factory moon roof
I have a used 2005 Crown Victoria P74 black ⚫️ with a sunroof.
2004 was the first year moonroofs were offered due to safety ratings.
I've owned an 08 P 71 since 2017,best car Ford ever made
Hopefully ill be part of the crown vic family soon. Its a silver 04 lx with 112k. Going to check it out next Saturday. Wish me luck
Did u buy the CV🤞
Can’t find any good Crown Vics on market place cause this guy has them all. Nice collection!
Mike you're awesome, this is a beautiful collection and im very jealous. Would love to drive my own vic to come see them. They all deserve to be in a museum!
Being a previous crown Vic owner, I have to say this is the most beautiful Crown Victoria collection of all!!!! It’s even hard to look at because it’s like a n addiction lol
Wow, this is absolutely beautiful. Thanks man for keeping all these beauties.
If a guy named Cleetus McFarland approaches you about your collection with an offer, DO NOT SELL any of the gems.
It's such a great country where we have guys like Mike collecting cars like Crown Vic!!!!
What an absolutely magnificent collection; it warms my heart to see so many pristine Vics in one place this long after production ended. Long live the Ford panther platform cars!
And I thought I'd owned a lot of Crown Vics! Awesome collection Mike.
So he's the reason why it's hard to find a good crown Vic. Thanks alot bud.😊
The crown vice are such an iconic piece of American history. I absolutely love them
Those Crown Vic's are better made and more Durable than any of the Soda Can cars that are made Today !
The memories that these bring back! It was a great place to work, no doubt about it. Great collection!
Love these crown vic panther cars nice collection of these
It truly is an amazing collection.
Love the crow vic I bought a Lincoln town car
wow thats crazy nice collection
Yes, this collection is absolutely wild!
You my friend are definitely the Crown Vic King 🙌🏽🙌🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥💯
these are absolutely beautiful, i can only hope to have such a collection one day.
Wow these are awesome! Good luck with the sales of these Crown Vics!
Crowns vics are awesome and also proudly built here in Canada, funny to think that all the Police cars in that era were Canadian built, the Vic , Impala and Charger
This guys has these to corner the market when cleetus knocks on the door
I just purchased a 2008 Crown Victoria with 20,000 miles. I couldn’t believe I found one with that low original mileage, but I did and it runs like a dream. I plan on having it for a long time to come…
I can prove it as well for those who find it hard to believe. 221 idle hours too. Catch of a lifetime.
Hour meters can be reset. Just saying...
@@bking12762 absolutely , this one wasn’t.
***I did the math… 82 Vic’s would be approximately 0.2 miles of boat. ***My gosh. What a fantastic collection. I would literally just want to go there to see them all. I drive an 09 grand marquis and I love these cars. I wish we got a number of how many. I would love to multiply 212in by the amount of Vic’s to see how long the length of all of them would be.
He said he had 85 cars total, and I spotted 3 that weren't Vics, so I'm going with 82.
AWESOME COLLECTION OF CROWN VICTORIA POLICE EDITION. Clean and neat....
I've only owned 2 panther platform cars... so far. One was a TC - Cartier Edition that was the personal car for the owner of the Lincoln dealer in Nashville TN. The other is my current commuter car - a PB7 built during the last month of production in 11. It was originally ordered for a Sheriff in Indiana and never had a cage and was full carpet and cloth seats with a CD player. Love the car. Ford really dropped the ball when they stopped making a durable police Interceptor. So glad this man collected the iconic CV fleet with clean examples. It is a treasure trove of the last mass produced body on frame full sized sedan which will always make drivers over 40 years old lift their foot off the gas pedal.
Oh... funny story about when I was driving my "Elwood" back from Indiana when I bought it in 2014. I set the cruise at 70 mph and had a line of cars behind me and no one would pass me. Also, one morning when I was going to work I stopped to check on a car that had slid in a ditch and the driver abandon it. A deputy pulled up and asked me if I had called dispatch. I just looked at him and said "I'm not a cop."
Long live the CV.
Mike has his own police fleet! Pretty cool! Always loved seeing a Crown Vic in my rental car parking spot at Hertz or Budget. Good luck with the sale!! No room for me to dock one of these awesome rides!
Cleetus McFarline would luv to see this place!
NO, keep him far away from here lmao
We are not selling anything to him even if he is the last person with cash left in the universe.
Absolutely incredible, blown away by this collection.
I'm in awe at this collection of Crown Vics!!! Never have I seen or will I ever see again in my lifetime such an iconic car like the P71. This video I'm sure does not do justice enough to actually being there in person, I'm sure if I was there, I'd feel like a kid in a candy store. Hope to one day make the time to head out Mike's way to see with my own eyes!
Amazing collection. I would definitely like a later model CV. Easy to service, great visibility, tough as nails and timeless design.
Dont let Cleetus know about these, lol.
Amazing collection! Great to see that there's such interest in these body-on-frame automobiles.
I live in Corning and have been watching since this guy built his car barn and then started filling it with Crown Vics. Cool to see this finally get some internet attention.
😮awesome video as always, guy is sitting on a gold mine.❤
Thank you. It's an unbelievable collection for sure.
what an amazing collection!
It is truly amazing.
@LimitedEditionMotorcars where are you guys located? Curious what the asking prices would be on some of these
@@cjsnidlio9409 www.LEmotorcars.com
It's like looking at the back lot of the Ford factory in Canada when they made them. Crown Victoria LX Sport is one they you don't see often. 👍🚘🚗
That AWD HEMI charger I bet is a monster
Incredible 😮
It sure is!
Que carros maravilhosos!
OMG no way so many beautiful cars i love crown Victorias they look great and perfect I would love to have one if i could they look good. Please keep them in a great condition and keep them safe you have history right there that keeps to be preserved awesome video.
I drive by this collection often. Always wondered about the backstory as have many of us locals. Thanks for posting this incredible collection.
Mouthwatering amount of 2v's... No Marauders though?
I didn't see any Mercurys at all.
amazing collection, how in the world does he keep the batteries charged up in all of them and the the fuel form going bad?
Thank you for saving these!
I did not understand the owner driving out and in everyday? This is the cleanest crown Vic i have ever seen in you tube. Respect to owner and thank you for keeping this car clean save. I like specially black police intercepter with spotlight in both side.
Drove one on the job, had a personal LX and for the life of me will NEVER understand how these were discontinued!!!! Insane...........
Classic design, room, comfort, performance and is the Swiss Army Knife of transportation.
What a shame. So happy to see this collection.
This is the world we live in They want us to have "energy efficient deathtraps" I for One Am not having it, They can have my Crown Vic when they pry my dead cold hands off my steering wheel, and there are other things they will pry my cold dead hands off of
That's why....
Cleetus McFarland just bought them all.
Don't let cleetus buy them!
I bought a 2010 vic police package. Never looked back. Got curious and got a 2010 Impala 91c as well but the vic has my heart.
Those are gorgeous!!!! I have an 03' P71 and a 08' P71. Both out of Hialeah Miami Florida. I bought them from The Miami Police Auction. My 03' had 91k and I paid $675 Feb 2016. And the 08' same Auction. I paid $2500 with 108k miles. It was a Detectives car. The tint was so dark my wife and I were trying to drive it to North Carolina and we had to pull over in the Walmart parking lot and pull 1 layer off so I could see the side mirrors at night lol. This was at 1 in the morning. I'm glad someone saved a bunch. Cleetus is destroying them by the droves.
The ones that he's getting are all clapped out. 170+K miles on the cheap. They are not worth anything like these are.
Beautiful collection! I love the Matlock-esque 88-91 at 14:31. I had a 91 Grand Marquis a few years ago. I foresee another Panther sometime in my future.
Sooo what's stopping you? I think this is an obvious "pullthetrigger" moment.
My neighbor was our Police Chief.
City fleet was the open-rear wheel Caprice. He continued sourcing open wheel "cop looking" a few years after the closed wheel design. But alas ultimately they became obsolete/ undesireble for law enforcement conversion for a plethora of reasons.
The CV met the same fate? but a great value for a grocery getter. But mainly for seniors grocery/ church. No dealer will take one in trade no matter the low miles unless you accept petty cash as trade-in.
Sadly, I only have 1 parking space. @@itsruf1
Someone better let Cleetus know!
Not selling anything to him.
It’s not about the money,it’s the principle.
I’ve saved a couple Florida Vics from ending up in his possession😁
This is a man after my own heart honestly love crown vics don't care what year or model
- dad can I go for a spin with friends ?
+ sure take the crown vic
- okay, which one?
I saw a local police Crown Vic still active in service a couple days ago. I'm shocked to see a bunch of them here still fresh on mileages, under 100k. The 1998-2012 Crown Victoria was the best 4-door car made by Ford. Thanks for making this video. I'm slapping that like button. Be well!
Broward Sheriff's Office and Ft.Lauderdale PD still have a couple left in service.
Up here in Northwest Indiana there are still several in service.
Not even close to be the best looking 4 door car from Ford...1965 Galaxie 500 with a Big Block 4bbl blows the doors off the weak 4.6 and the 65 looks so much better..We ran high 13's in the 1/4 mile with a bone stock 65 back in 1987..I am not even a Ford guy!98-12's are high 15- 16 range second 1/4 mile cars at best!
Now if you say the Crown Victoria from 98-12 is the best looking 4 door Ford from 98-12 then okay,but not ever!!
I will never forget the bad frames on 60s Ford full size cars, we almost lost our sister because the back door would pop open, a lot of them went to the scrap yard because of bad frames, also didn't stop worth a 💩 Yes they ran better in a straight line That's all they did better, plus the guy didn't say the Crown Vic was the nicest looking 4 door he said it was the best 4 door, which is debatable
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars That's a testament to the durability of this car, there is nothing like this on the planet 1year ago I saw a beautiful black one with our county # 13 tag on it, I want to see that car at the auction it's well taken care of
I wish i had this colection😢
I'm delighted to see this guy save these cars. People just treat them like disposable garbage these days.
I'd love to end up with a Crown Vic Sport.
I wish there was a few Grand Marquis mixed in there...lol.
This collection has me totally tortured. 👍
The best car Ford has ever produced.
Great collection, greetings from Paysandu, Uruguay!!!!!
Of all the cars he has, I'm surprised that I didn't see any LX Sports, perhaps the rarest trim offered on the Crown Victoria. Those are incredibly hard to come by these days, especially in mint condition
Maybe mike ran out of money
