Nick Winter Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Well I wanted to get my feet wet in the Emergency sector of building, so I dug out one of my Multiple Crown Vic's and started on a Los Angeles Police Department Detectives car, as I was building it I tryed to build it more as what a Sergeant in Auto Theft would have. Something that would 10-36 or 10-37 a car, only to find it 10-99 and end up either 10-51 or end up going Code 3 and 10-80. wow lots of codes. anyway, enjoy. Nick
JustBill Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 LOL :lol: The codes are too funny! Great job on the build! Nice and clean!
av405 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Excellent car, you really got the light set up correct for an LAPD car. If you want it to be even more realistic, you should paint the side door moulding black as LAPD ordered their Crown Vics of this vintage with black side moulding.
RodneyBad Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Could be an Upscaled Detective car with the extra chrome. Nice looking Vic.. Paint and Interior looks Great. WHat, No empty Donut box?

Nick And for us normal folk.... 10-36: Correct time 10-37: (Investigate) suspicious vehicle 10-99: Wanted/stolen indicated 10-51: Wrecker needed. Code 3: lights/siren on. 10-80: Chase in progress. On the happy side, very nice work, Nick. Charlie Larkin

I think instead of a 10-36, a 10-33 might be better! By the way, for you normal folk, that is an accident! Nice job Nick!

Thanks Guys, I appreciate it, as for the black side molding, I overlooked that till it was too late. Nick
mrmike Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 That is a great looking Crown Vic, Nick! I like the responder lights!
Agent G Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Kind of interesting really, but in 32 years of police work I never used a 10 code. We never adopted that and just spoke plain english on the radio. Of course "send help" needed no translation. G
Patrick2005 Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 My dad has a 94 Crown Victoria ex-detectives car. It has a full digital dash, car phone and heavy duty suspension with air ride in the rear. It even has an anti-theft system built in that won't let you start it until you hit the unlock button on the remote first after your inside. It's a deep-clue color, looks pretty close to this one.
Nick Winter Posted June 18, 2011 Author Posted June 18, 2011 Thanks Guys. It's not perfect but I'm happy with my results. Nick
Agent G Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) That did come out nice. You paid attention to the details after those web sites didn't you? In all honesty two things regarding trim levels. Chrome: That has all the chrome Crown Vics I ever drove had. Door guards in black: Just 'cause they were ordered in black doesn't mean they were all delivered that way. The first CV's we recieved of that model year had 60/40 split bench front seats and we ordered buckets. One nit. The dash board had a brown imitation wood strip dividing the top half and the bottom half. Every CV of this model I drove had this interior strip. You wouldn't have known that though! *edit* Here's what I'm talking about. G Edited June 19, 2011 by AgentG
Nick Winter Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 Never Noticed that in any of the pictures I had, might see if I can get in there with a brush and add it. Thanks.
Agent G Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Not necessary really, for me it was a great way to clean up the black paint I used on the radio and instrument insert. (cheat, in other words) G
SSNJim Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Never Noticed that in any of the pictures I had, might see if I can get in there with a brush and add it. Thanks. That's because it's not there on a P71. I don't know what Agent G drove, but it sounds like a P73 or P74. All the chrome you have on there is on P71s, except for the moldings around the front and rear windshields. They are black on P71s (maybe I'm seeing light reflections). The only visible differences between a P71 and other CVs are the door moldings and the color of the B pillar (body color on P71, black on all others). If you want proof, I have a unmodified 97 P71 sitting in my driveway - white with blue interior. I think yours looks pretty good. Edited June 19, 2011 by SSNJim

Thanks.
SSNJim Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 You're welcome. By the way, Police Interceptors are designated P71 by Ford. P72 is the designation for taxicabs, and P73/74 are civilian Crown Vics.
Crusader101 Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 P70 is the designation for the taxi....I have a retired 2006 Crown Vic NYC taxi with 510,000 miles....runs like a top!
niteowl7710 Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 P70 is the designation for the taxi....I have a retired 2006 Crown Vic NYC taxi with 510,000 miles....runs like a top! P70 is the designation for the slightly longer wheelbase taxis that were specific to NYC. If you ever look at a CVPI and a P70 taxi side by side you'll notice the rear door on your taxi is several inches longer than a regular Crown Vic.
