I dig and drive old Fords…pictured below is my old 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt GT which is my recreational driver, and my old 2007 Ford Police Interceptor which is my daily driver. I purchased both Fords new in 2001 and 2007 respectively.

I didn’t know you could buy the police interceptor Crown Vic new. That’s awesome! Was it special order or something?
It was not special order…but was purchased new off the lot at a large Ford fleet dealership near Chicago. Here’s the story…in 2007 I initially attempted to purchase a new one at the local Ford dealership in Cincinnati where I purchased my Mustang Bullitt GT new in 2001. No joy…they said they could lose their fleet license if they sold to a private party. I checked with every Ford fleet dealership in and around Cincinnati…same thing…no joy. I expanded my search to Louisville and Indianapolis…no joy. I then expanded my search to the Chicago area and located a large Ford fleet dealership that had about 20 new Police Interceptors on their lot. They stated that they had sold to private parties in the past and they would sell me one off the lot. Joy!
Wow great story! Thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity, were they more or less than the “civilian” trim packages? Sorry for all the questions, just a nerd when it comes to interesting vehicles and Speedys

The trim package for the Ford Police Interceptor was very basic compared to the civilian Ford Crown Victoria…however, there was what was called a SAP (street appearance package) that was an option on Ford Police Interceptors to make them look like civilian Crown Victorias.
Very cool!
Thanks, man…and here’s my original window sticker regarding how my Police Interceptor was equipped…my Police Interceptor was about as basic as you could get with only a few options. Mad Dog action figure and Hooters hat sold separately…
And the whole reason I got into the whole cop car thing was because I actually drove Ford Police Interceptors while on patrol as a Cincinnati Police Officer…what a great car…
The Caddy!!😲
That's a beautiful M edition.
I suppose I'm classified as an old fart now.
So I just potter about in an old person's car, a small "SUV".
Dealer said it would suit me at my age.
At least it's got four zorsts 😁.
