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. |

2020 Ford Explorer safer than old model; crash test ratings short of Top Safety Pick
Mon, Dec 16 2019The 2020 Ford Explorer three-row crossover has improved on the outgoing model in many ways. According to the IIHS, it has also improved in a number of safety categories, but not enough to earn a Top Safety Pick award. The culprit is not the headlight performance for once. The Explorer's headlights were given an "Acceptable" rating, which would be sufficient for Top Safety Pick, if not Top Safety Pick +. Where the Ford falls short is in the front small overlap driver-side crash test, in which it got the second highest "Acceptable" rating. The IIHS requires a "Good" rating in this category, whereas an "Acceptable" rating on the passenger side would be, well, acceptable for Top Safety Pick. According to IIHS, Ford will be reviewing the results to figure out what the issue is, and it will likely make revisions to future Explorers to improve the result. Other than the one test, the Explorer performed admirably. It received a "Good" rating in all other crash categories except the passenger-side small overlap that was not tested. Both its standard and optional forward collision prevention systems had the highest "Superior" ratings, with the standard one preventing a collision with a car at speeds of up to 25 mph, and the optional one avoiding a collision at 12 mph, and "nearly" preventing one at 25 mph. Headlights are rated as "Acceptable" and so is access to child seat LATCH anchors. Also worth noting is that the Explorer's crash test ratings apply to its luxurious twin the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, meaning it also doesn't get a Top Safety Pick rating. The forward collision system performed the same as in the Ford, and the only difference between the two was in headlight performance. The Lincoln's standard headlights, included on the base, Reserve and Grand Touring trims, have the second-lowest "Marginal" rating, but the optional headlights for those trims, and the standard ones on the Black Label trim, received the "Good" rating. Among three-row Explorer competitors, the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Santa Fe XL, Kia Telluride, Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Highlander all have a Top Safety Pick. The Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-9, Subaru Ascent, and the slightly smaller Kia Sorento and Volkswagen Tiguan all have a Top Safety Pick +. As for Lincoln Aviator competitors, the Cadillac XT6, Infiniti QX60, Lexus RX and Volvo XC90 get a Top Safety Pick. The Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and two-row-only BMW X5 get the Top Safety Pick + rating. Related Video: Â Â Â
