Texas Interceptors specializes in used police cars, both Crown Vics and Caprices. YOu can find more info here: http://www.texasinterceptors.com/Default.asp

There's something menacing about a blacked out Crown Vic.

The Ferd motors will go to some ridiculously high mileage if maintained though. My uncle used to drive for a bus company, and used a Crown Vic to transport one kid back and forth every day. He said the car had near 200K on it and would still run smoooooooooth.

And don't get me started on the '94-'96 LT1 Coprices...I miss my '96 Impala SS!!! That was one of the most fun-to-drive cars I've owned.
