1997 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor Low Original Miles 67k - Fast! on 2040-cars
East Northport, New York, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1997 Ford Crown Victoria. It has the 'P71' Police Package and was never used as a patrol car! It was property of the Federal Prison System and was used by a corrections officer. I bought the vehicle in January 2014, with just under 62,000 miles on it (currently 67K). This was after countless hours of searching for the best Aero-P71 with the lowest mileage I could find. I have had a lot of work put into the car - some mechanical maintenance, and some performance upgrades. The exterior of this vehicle is in very good condition, with barely any rust, no dents or major scratches, and has not been in any accidents. The only couple of things to point out are: A small chip in the windshield on the passenger's side and some bubbling of the paint above the windshield. There are also two antenna holes that have been plugged, and the spotlight was removed and discarded. The interior is in very good condition, showing no rips or stains in the seats and very minimal wear to the carpeting. The dashboard is clean and free of cracks, and the headliner is just slightly separated at the back windshield (does not affect visibility). Missing cup holders. The tires on this car were replaced in March of this year, and remain with at least 80% tread on them. The brakes are extremely solid, as well as the suspension. The car had a tune-up in May, with all new ignition wires, double platinum spark plugs, a new fuel filter, a thorough cleaning of the throttle body, and even a Seafoam treatment. In addition, the oil filter adapter housing and hose lines to the oil cooler were replaced and should never leak again. Regarding performance upgrades, the rear gears were swapped for 3.73's, a BBK underdrive pulley kit was added, and a large K&N cold air intake with 70mm MAF was added. This work was done by a local professional who specializes in Mustangs and other Ford V8's, and he calibrated the computer for these upgrades and also switched the speedometer gear so it would read accurately with the new rear gears. The car was also tuned for 93 octane fuel, and I would guess the car is now pushing over 250 horsepower now (which is what the 2011 P71's put out, and they weigh several hundred pounds more)! The sole reason I am selling this car is because it has a rod knock. However, I have not figured out whether it is due to a spun bearing, or something else. As any Ford enthusiast should know, this problem is almost unheard of for the 4.6 motors, and should have never happened. The car can be driven short distances, but I would not recommend driving it as more than a station car until the problem can be solved. The good news is there are no leaks whatsoever and no signs of smoke. The car is still faster than most Crown Vic's, but should not be driven hard at this point. In tip-top shape, she was able to keep up with a 300-horsepower 2011 Subaru WRX. A couple other things to note: There is an exhaust leak from one of the catalytic converters. Also, the transmission shift points are much more firm after the performance tune, which in my opinion, feels very sporty. I am including the original air intake and MAF sensor, as well as the SCT X4 flash programmer with the sale of the car. Sold AS-IS, where is. Shipping must be arranged by the buyer. |

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
Ford cuts F-150 fuel use through CNG-capable fleet sales, EcoBoost
Tue, May 13 2014The possibility of $1-a-gallon fuel would make a lot of US governmental entities sit up and take notice. The state of Oklahoma and the city of Dallas are making that happen. Those two entities are buying up a bunch of Ford F-150 pickups retrofitted to run on compressed natural gas (CNG), all in the name of cost savings and emissions reduction. Oklahoma is buying 256 of the F-150s, while Dallas is buying another 65. The trucks, which cost between $6,000 and $9,500 to retrofit (on top of the original price), can run on either CNG or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). And while that's a substantial hit, conversion costs are typically paid back in three years thanks to lower refueling costs. CNG prices are as low as $1.07 a gallon in parts of Oklahoma. How much lower? The national average price for CNG is about a buck and a half less than the $3.67 average per-gallon cost of gasoline. And CNG prices are as low as $1.07 a gallon in parts of Oklahoma, where CNG is plentiful. CNG also cuts tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions by about 20 percent compared with gasoline, while the retrofitted trucks can go as far as 450 miles from their CNG tanks in addition to the 300-mile range from their conventional tanks. That's useful in a bit state like Texas. This week, the US Energy Department trumpeted a $5.9-billion loan program that Ford accessed to upgrade its factories for production of its EcoBoost engines, noting that Ford has sold a half-million F-150 trucks with EcoBoost engines. Those trucks have collectively cut fuel use by almost 57 million gallons of gas during the past three-plus years. Check out Ford's press release on the F-150 purchases below and the Energy Department's statement about its loan program here. OKLAHOMA, DALLAS ORDER 300-PLUS CNG-CAPABLE FORD F-150 PICKUPS AS DEMAND GROWS FOR ALTERNATIVE FUEL OPTION The state of Oklahoma and its agencies to buy 256 Ford F-150 trucks prepped to run on compressed natural gas; Dallas orders 65 for its fleet 2014 F-150 available with gaseous-fuel prep option on 3.7-liter V6 engine; can run on CNG or liquefied petroleum gas (also called propane autogas) By summer, Ford will offer eight vehicles that can run on clean-burning, affordable CNG; the company is on track to sell more than 15,000 such vehicles in 2014 The state of Oklahoma, its agencies and the city of Dallas have ordered a total of 321 Ford F-150 pickups that can run on compressed natural gas.
Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags.

The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer.
