Moscow Police Crown Vic

[Flat Eric]

I was just in Moscow for a couple of days, and happened to see a Police Crown Victoria!

It was the only one, most of their cars are Lada's, with many Audi A8's, BMW 745i's, Mercedes S500's...but that's another story (The $80k car police force!)

Don't ask me how this car ended up so far away from home :)

Looks like it was bought used and repainted with the cyrillic (sp?) writing. I bet it's an auction vehicle from the US - not suprising given the state of the Russian economy.

How is Moscow these days? Still giving everyone dysentery? :lol:

Thanks,

Ten bucks saws it was bought off the stolen car black market :)

I think it was one of the guys who does those Police Chase shows. He set up a deal to send 25-50 used CVPI's from the US to them for a good price. They beat them up pretty good, so I don't know how many they have left.
