1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 55A Police Package Sedan: Arizona Highway Patrol Show Car

 

This is a genuine 55A Police Package sedan with the optional 5.8L (351-ci) 2V V-8 police engine

Originally a Burlington, NC unmarked administrator's vehicle, this car now proudly wears the uniform of the Arizona Highway Patrol.

I am an avid police car collector and this is my 6th restoration. I spared no expense turning this 25-year old cruiser into a show winner.

This car is a regular at car shows in metro Detroit and has won several awards. 

 

I have owned this car since 2010. To date, over $9,000 invested in this battle-tested beauty including:

 

Newly rebuilt engine!! Completed in March, 2012, the long block is bored 0.030” over - now 357 cubic inches. Also, new oil pump, water pump, fuel pump, radiator, alternator,

                                       heater core, starter, R-134 A/C conversion, coolant reservoir, heater hoses, distributor, Duraspark II engine control box, 195F thermostat, spark plugs,

                                       and other newer parts like M+S tires, front brakes, and front and rear HD “cop” shocks.

 

New paint job!! Completed in May, 2012 this car has a glossy, clean urethane finish in Ford Oxford White.

                           This car's body is in excellent shape with virtually no rust on the panels, frame, undercarriage, or door jams.

 

Loaded interior!! It comes with all the luxury power features most fleet cars didn’t get: Seats, Windows, Mirrors, and full carpeting.

                              No cracks or serious wear marks & everything works including the ICE COLD A/C. 

 

Ready for car shows!! Fully marked with lights and sirens!! Comes with Arizona Highway Patrol decals and dummy license plates, Federal Signal PA-200 siren,

                                       Motorola radio console, rear PAR 46 red/amber lights, wigwag headlights, front red light, switch panel, working radar unit, 140 MPH speedometer,

                                       and the special auxiliary gauge pkg. (oil, water, volts).

                                       (All decals and lights are magnetic and removable for regular driving around town or cruising to shows).

 

She’s ready to roll anywhere!! I drove it to Chicago, Philadelphia, and North Carolina just last year! 

**Please note: This car has the original **Variable Venturi** carburetor (which can be fussy at times), but always starts and runs.

Also, the heater works but it does not work well. It would be unsuitable to drive during the winter.

Finally, this is a 25-year old former police car with outdated and worn mechanical technology. I cannot provide any type of guarantees.

 

SPECIAL PURCHASE CONDITIONS:

**Buyer to arrange pickup and transportation.

**Only certified checks from established banking institutions or CASH will be acceptable.

**For base vehicle without police decals, lights, or equipment subtract $500 from the reserve price.

 

This show car is located in Grosse Pointe, Michigan and with winter coming it needs a good home. The Reserve price is set well below the normal listing price

for restored "police package" vehicles of this era. This is a great opportunity to get into the show car hobby without having to spend a small fortune.

This car wins just as many awards as vintage muscle cars that cost 10 times as much to restore, insure, and maintain.

 

Thank you for reading my description. Good luck.

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research

Fri, 24 Jan 2014

Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
