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 expands door-latch recall to 156k more vehicles, nearly 550k total

Fri, May 1 2015

Ford is being inundated with recalls as of late. Just days ago it called in over 590,000 cars for a variety of issues. Now, the Blue Oval has announced an expansion of its door latch campaign to cover an additional 156,000 vehicles in North America. Counting the original 389,585 cars, this has brought the total to 545,906. Under this expansion, the same models are affected, but Ford is broadening the coverage dates in some cases. The recall covers the 2011-2014 Fiesta, 2013-2014 Fusion, and 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ; there are 456,440 units in the US, 50,681 in Canada, and 38,785 in Mexico in need of repair. In these vehicles, a door might not latch because of a broken pawl spring tab. Even if a passenger can successfully close it, the faulty part could unlatch while driving. According to Ford, there are two allegations of doors bounding back and hitting a person. There's also one possible accident from a door opening and striking another vehicle. Dealers will replace all of the latches to fix the problem. Related Video: MAY 1, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD EXPANDS DOOR LATCH SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., May 1, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is expanding a safety recall regarding door latches to include approximately 156,000 more vehicles at the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, bringing the total to 545,906 vehicles in North America. The door latch in certain vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is a potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of a total two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck the adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2011-14 Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Nov. 3, 2009 to May 31, 2013; certain 2013-14 Fusion vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Feb. 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013; certain 2014 Fusion vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, April 12, 2013 to April 26, 2013; and certain 2013-14 Lincoln MKZ vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Feb. 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. There are 456,440 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 50,681 in Canada and 38,785 in Mexico.

Ford, Petty's Garage to build limited-edition Mustang GT from SEMA Show

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The customized vehicles on display at the annual SEMA Show are often just there to exhibit a company's wares. They are more an illustration of what's possible by picking the right bits out of a catalog, rather than a model available in complete form. Ford and Petty's Garage are doing something a little different, though, by putting a very limited run of the tuner's supercharged Mustang GTs up for order through Blue Oval dealers. The Petty's Garage Mustang GT made its debut with a host of other modded 'Stangs at the 2014 SEMA Show. It featured a blue-and-black two-tone paint job and a supercharged version of the pony car's V8 under the hood. Just 143 of them are now being offered to customers – 100 in Stage 1 trim and 43 in Stage 2 form. At a starting price of $62,210, Stage 1 buyers get the aggressive body kit from the show car, including a center-exit exhaust at the rear, trunk lip spoiler and a set of 20-inch wheels. Although the real meat of the setup is a supercharger, cold air intake and retuned engine calibration also help take the output up to 627 horsepower. Inside, customers get "The King" Richard Petty's signature on the dashboard. Shelling out $92,210 for the Stage 2 version adds bigger brakes from Wilwood, HRE three-piece wheels and the two-tone paint job from the SEMA show car. The boosted Mustangs can be ordered from Ford dealers, but at least one of the Stage 2 versions is already sold. Rocker and car enthusiast Brian Johnson of AC/DC bought the first one. FORD AND PETTY'S GARAGE TEAM UP TO BUILD LIMITED-EDITION MUSTANG GT Ford dealerships to offer 143 limited-edition Petty's Garage-tuned Mustang GTs; a Stage 1 version and an even more exclusive Stage 2 version will be available All Petty's Garage Mustang GTs feature Ford Racing/Roush supercharger boosting output to 627 horsepower*, as well as unique exterior and interior treatments including Richard Petty's signature on the dashboard AC/DC's Brian Johnson ordered the first Petty's Garage Stage 2 Mustang GT – the rock 'n' roll legend's first-ever domestic vehicle purchase DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 19, 2015 – Ford Motor Company and Petty's Garage are teaming up to build a new 627-horsepower* Mustang GT – a limited-edition fastback inspired by the popular Petty's Garage Mustang GT on display at last year's SEMA show in Las Vegas. "We received a tremendous amount of positive feedback about our Petty's Garage Mustang GT displayed at the SEMA show," said Jeff Whaley, Petty's Garage COO.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
