So this ad claims that this '11 Police car is AWD. I thought it only came in RWD? Clarification please!

RWD only. I like how the ad says it's a stock photo and the actual photos are coming soon. Makes one leery.....

I have a feeling that they've read something on Wikipedia and misunderstood something..
Here's a quote from Wiki
"On March 12, 2010, Ford Motor Company introduced the 2013 Police Interceptor as a rebadged and reengineered version of the current Taurus . This new vehicle is on an all-wheel drive unibody platform (with optional front-wheel drive), and it bears no relation to the rear-wheel body-on-frame Panther platform that underpinned all previous Police Interceptors. [8]
In response, police departments began buying reserve supplies of the last Crown Victorias to allow them to maintain a fleet of reliable police cars into the future. The police department of Austin, Texas , has stocked up on parts on the existing CVPIs that could be used interchangeably on different model years of the Crown Victorias, and also noted that Ford had not set a price for its new Police Interceptor which was still in an untested prototype stage. [9] [10] The police department in London, Ontario , which had been stockpiling extra CVPIs, noted that while potential replacements may use less gasoline, the CVPI may be easily and cheaply converted to run on propane, giving it lower running costs than its competitors and the Taurus that Ford is touting as a replacement. [11] Others have reluctantly shifted to other models and manufacturers. [12]
On September 15, 2011, the final built Crown Victoria, a civilian model destined for Saudi Arabia, rolled off the assembly line at 12:30 PM, concluding assembly operations of the St. Thomas, Ontario, plant. [13] "

These retired police cruisers are powerful and fast. Rides and drives like the luxury vehicle it is, but without all the bells and whistles of a standard Crown Vic.
LOL!

Easy to fix, though. And by easy, I mean BOF means never having to say you're sorry.

Short wheelbase tenth-gen F-series: 119.9" wheelbase. Long wheelbase Crown Vic commercial: ~120.5. Channel the trunk for the frame rails, move the bushing mounts on the frame, and done. Combine with swap to V10.Your move.
