Help please. Identify suspect car

[Don Pfau]

Here are some pictures of a suspect vehicle for the robbery and arson of Barry's garage. I've been looking and and to date it looks like a 1196 Crown Vic ??? The first 3 pictures are of the car coming at you and the rest are of it going away from you.

 

[philly0420]

Crown vic for sure. Been in many of them.

 

[vr4]

Yup. Looks like an early crown vic.

 

[Lownslowlsc]

If he's local it shouldn't be hard to pick him out with that wicked pinstripe.

But yeah, 92-97cv or mgm.

 

[BlackLS06]

Gotta love those panthers.....i saw a marauder the other day.

 

[BAD97LSC]

book em danno!!

 

[dnehthend]

95-97 crown victoria

after 94 they changed the rear end a bit, put the license plate in the bumper

grand marquis all had the steep back window this has the long one

 

[Stangman]

If all they brought was a crown vic they must not have taken much... didn't you say parts were missing also?

 

[unity]

Can you post or send me the highest resolution image possible of the rear end? Several frames even. I've pulled plate numbers before in images like this, but the ones you posted are jpeg and there is just no data there.

if you want to e-mail them to me: thatmacguru@gmail.com

 

[Jacksun]

Get em! Someone get a chain I'll get my truck. Woooo eeee

 

[95mark8newyork]

95-97 crown victoria

after 94 they changed the rear end a bit, put the license plate in the bumper

grand marquis all had the steep back window this has the long one

+1
Except the plate moved up in the later years
Guessing you just worded it wrong

 

[Don Pfau]

I thought it looked like this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LAPD...6699047?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item256a4508a7 on ebay a 1996. I looked at a 1994 and the plate is below the tail lights on them and a 1998 has the bigger grill in the front and smaller angular taillights. I couldnt find a 1995 or a 1997. Are they both the same as a 1996 ??? What do the wheels look like to you ???

 

[slowmkviii]

I think that they look like the stock base wheel covers like most the cop cars had
And yes 95,96,97 are the same at least I can't think of any body changes them years.

 

[micahs97m8]

The rims look like spokes to me. Kind of like these http://www.automotix.net/keystone/1996-ford-crown_victoria-wheels_rims-fwc07025u20.html

Definitely 95-97 and no antenna. base model 95's still had an antenna.

I tried to process the photos, but the resolution is just too low. Not enough data to pull out the plates. I need at least 600x800 to have any luck, and these are about half that

I suggest to Don to call gas stations in the area and pull footage for an hour before the incident. Generally felons like to fuel up before pulling off things like this in case they end up in a chase or they plan to get out of dodge. I would assume this is something the police have already done, but there is no law against investigating a crime ones self.

Wish I could have gotten at least one digit of the plate since we know the model.

 

[the1andonlyGR81]

looks like vic 2 me

 

[danny_holtermann]

also no tint at all on the windows with that wicked pin stripe

 

[micahs97m8]

I would print out a sign with pics and a $500 reward for info about this and then post it up all over town. It's not that big of a town. Include info on what was stolen. My uncle lives there and I visit about once a year.

 

[Don Pfau]

I found this add on Craig's list that looks like the suspects car. http://fayetteville.craigslist.org/cto/2853175449.html I and others have e-mailed inquiries but with no replys. Any sugestions ????

 

[My Great 8]

It definately looks like it right down to the whitewall tires. Could you call the police and have them check it out?

 

[NoLimit95]

In the first pic, it looks like there is no white wall stripe on the front tire, (drivers side) but there is one on the back. Same as advertised picture. Maybe it's my old eyes.


Unity, I also tried pulling the tag and some other things with a couple of different programs I have but with it being a jpeg image and the quality of the camera that took the image, I just can't draw the detail out of any of the pics. I'm not even getting pixelization to work with. Like you said, no data..

 

[martz0r]

I wouldn't call the cops yet with the craigslist ad. The perps get one whiff of police being onto them and they're likely to ditch everything and destroy whatever evidence they can. Find out a phone number and an address, pretend like you're interested in the car. If they insist on meeting you somewhere, meet them, have someone in a different car close by who can follow them when they leave.

If you meet them at their house, keep your eyes peeled for anything suspicious. Even if you don't notice anything a day after you check the car out, still get the cops involved. Dude will think you're just a potential buyer and won't put 2+2 together that you were there investigating the previous day...

I should be a detective.

 

[martz0r]

That has to be the same car. Fayetteville? I've been there before. How many of these can can be for sale at one time in the same town? Also, check out the pin striping. Very rarely do police interceptors have pin striping, even an SAP which that seems to be, and it matches the pin striping in the surveillance photos. I'll email and see if I get anything.

If the retards knew I was his shop. They'll know him
