1998 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor with just over 200,000 miles.  This vehicle is extremely dependable and runs great, I would not hesitate to head across the country with it today.  This Vic started life as a gasoline powered car but was converted from day one by the King County Police Department in King County Washington to run on both Compressed Natural Gas and Gasoline.  The Car is equipped with a Technocarb system and it works FLAWLESSLY!  I have owned this car for a little over 3 years, and the fuel savings have nearly payed for the car (Not even counting the amount of money it has saved me on traffic tickets).  I use CNG for all my daily around town driving, and then at the flip of a rocker switch on the dash, I can switch to gasoline and i'm free to drive where ever I want.  It currently has 2 tanks in the trunk that fill at 3600 PSI and have a capacity of just under 5 gallons.  It has been extremely reliable and hasn't needed much mechanical work at all with the exception of two coil packs and a thermostat......about 20 minutes worth of work and less than $60 in 3 years of driving.  This car has been great to me and the only reason I am selling it is because I bought a new car and it has been sitting in indoor climate controlled storage since.  It currently has Firestone Winterforce tires on the back and it tracks unbelievably in the snow!  This car did spend the majority of it's life on the west coast so it is extremely solid!  The only flaws with the car is that it has an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold, the left turn signal is stuck on right now so I pulled the fuse (I will try to fix that before it sells as I have another 02 Crown Vic parts car),  and the CNG tanks did expire at the beginning of the year.  Like I mentioned, I have an 02 Dedicated CNG Crown Victoria that I can use for parts, so I will include (seperately) 2 CNG tanks that are good until 2017!  They are slightly larger than the ones that are currently installed, so it will give the car a greater range.  This car does have minor paint flaws as most original paint P71's do, however, with the twin spotlights and the push bar, nearly every cop waves to me even when I'm driving 15 mph over the speed limit, and I OWN THE LEFT LANE on the highway! Cars will duck into the right lane when i'm a mile behind them!  It's the ultimate car for someone who wants to save time and money on their daily commute and still have the option of driving anywhere you want with gasoline.  Gas prices are said to rise again soon, and this car will be paying itself off in no time. You can have the peace of mind knowing that you're not making terrorist rich while you are burning 100% AMERICAN FUEL and you are GREENER THAN A PRIUS while driving a full size, rear wheel drive, American V8....It doesn't get much better than that.  Please call Mike anytime at 815-621-2027.


I have the vehicle for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Thanks!

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.

Ford F-150 could be affected by tornado-damaged supplier in S.C.

Wed, Apr 22 2020

The disruption caused by a tornado that severely damaged a South Carolina auto-parts plant and killed a contract security guard last week could be felt by more automakers than just Ford and affect more than just its best-selling F-Series pickup, which is due for an update. And there’s still no estimate for when operations might resume at the plant. The Detroit Free Press reports that the BorgWarner plant in Seneca, near Greenville, makes transfer cases for F-150 and Super Duty pickups, the Ford Explorer and Expedition, Transit cargo vans, and Lincoln Navigator and Aviator SUVs. ItÂ’s also a supplier for the Ram 1500 and Toyota Tundra trucks. Transfer cases shift power from the transmission to the front and rear axles in four-wheel-drive vehicles. BorgWarner says it still has no update for when it might partially or fully resume operations. The tornado that ripped through the area in the western part of the state on April 13 tore the roof, walls and signage off the factory and killed a 77-year-old contract worker when the security building he was sheltering in collapsed. Only four or five others were inside the plant, which has been idled because of the coronavirus outbreak, when the tornado struck. In an SEC filing on Friday, Ford said it has sent employees to the site to help BorgWarner and assess the damage to FordÂ’s tooling. “Initial assessments indicate that the Ford tooling was not materially damaged in this incident,” Ford said in the filing. “We do not have sufficient information to estimate when the facility will be back on-line or whether or the extent to which this incident will impact our plans to resume production of four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles.” A Fiat Chrysler spokeswoman also told the Freep the company was working with BorgWarner on recovery plans. A Toyota spokesman told Autoblog that "we are collaborating with BorgWarner to help restore production for transfer cases for Tundra assembly. We are confident that theyÂ’ll fully recover over time." Like other automakers, Ford shut down production at its U.S. plants last month as a precaution against the coronavirus pandemic. But Ford hasnÂ’t yet said when it plans to reopen its factories. FCA is targeting May 4 to resume production. Models like the F-150 and Lincoln Navigator are major sources of profit for Ford, which estimated it lost $2 billion in the first quarter.

2018 Ford F-150 Powerstroke vs. 2018 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel: comparing the specs

Mon, Jan 8 2018

Now that Ford has finally released specifications for its diesel Ford F-150, we can finally see how it stacks up against its sole competition, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. Naturally, since we haven't driven the new diesel F-150, we can't tell you which is better on the road, but there are interesting things we can glean from the numbers. Compare these and other potential new vehicle purchases using our tool. For one thing, the two trucks are extremely similar from a powertrain perspective. Both trucks use a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 diesel, with the Ford using a 10-speed automatic, and the Ram using an 8-speed automatic. The Powerstroke engine is built in the U.K. but specifically tuned by Ford for American pickup truck duty. It is also is related to the diesel V6 used by Jaguar and Land Rover. The Ram 1500's engine is made by VM Motori. Only 10 horsepower and 20 pound-feet of torque separate the two, with the Ford getting the slight advantage. The Ford also produces its horsepower and torque slightly sooner than the Ram. Peak power in the Ford comes at 3,250 rpm compared to 3,600 rpm in the Ram, and peak torque arrives at 1,750 rpm in the Ford, and 2,000 rpm in the Ram. View 9 Photos More significant differences become apparent in the payload and towing area, both of which put the Ford at an advantage. The F-150 Powerstroke can carry 2,020 pounds of cargo, or tow 11,400 pounds. The Ram EcoDiesel, depending on configuration, can carry 1,100 to 1,600 pounds of cargo, and tow between 7,560 and 9,210 pounds. Fuel economy might go to the Ford if it hits the company's target of 30 mpg highway. That would beat the Ram's 27 mpg highway. We don't know what Ford's target city mpg is, but the Ram manages 20 in town with two-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive drops the city rating to 19 mpg. View 6 Photos The biggest decider between the trucks might be cost. Ford is only offering its diesel engine on higher end trims, which means that the cheapest diesel F-150 starts at $46,315. That's for a two-wheel drive Lariat extended cab with a 6.5-foot bed. Ram on the other hand, offers the diesel in everything from its ultra-bare-bones Tradesman pickup, allowing for a base price of just $28,585, up to the fancy Laramie Longhorn and Limited trims. Ram's diesel is also available with all cab variants, while Ford's is only offered in extended- and double-cab body styles.
