2000 Ford Crown Victoria Lx & Lots Of Extra Parts on 2040-cars
Year:2000

I purchased this car back in early June, 2013 and had 128,8xx miles on it when bought. Currently it has 133,578 miles on it and I do not drive it anymore. It is started and warmed up every 2-3 days through the winter. The car does have rust but not as much as other same year midwest Crown Vics. Three of the wheel wells have been bondo'd and painted with a similar body color by the previous owner. The two front doors do have some slight rust and paint bubbling on the very bottom edges but the doors do close and seal correctly. The heat and AC work very good.
A couple days after I bought it the transmission died. I had a rebuilt Jasper transmission installed and a brand new transmission cooler installed. I have the paperwork and the transmission will come with the difference of a 3 year/100k mile warranty. I installed a class III/IV Curt tow receiver with a 400lb tongue weight and a 4000lb gross trailer limit. I used it to tow a lightweight trailer with a canoe on it just a couple times. It is wired for trailer lights. If you would like to purchase the trailer feel free to send me a question or message. It's an assembled 4x8 Harbor Freight trailer with a 1200lb capacity. I will include the tow hitch if you do want to purchase the trailer. The spark plugs and wires were replaced the day after I bought the car back in June. The front rotors and tie rod ends were replaced about a month and a half ago and have no more than 20 miles or so on them. The car received a front end alignment today (1/15/14). The front seats do show some wear on them especially the driver's side but the power motors still work like new. The front window motors are a bit worn but do work. The driver's side REAR window does not roll down as I suspect it has come off the runners. The car was previously owned by a smoker but I have cleaned 99% of the smell and tar out. The car has been steamed cleaned inside multiple times and the smoke smell is gone. There are a couple cigarette burn marks on the driver's seat and on the carpet, not many though. I decided not to return all the parts that I bought for the car and will include them with the car. They are as follows including the part numbers. -Moog Front Coil Springs - 80090 -Moog Spring Seats - K160066 -Moog Sway Bar bushings - K8731 -Wagner Rear Brake Pads - SX674 -Bosch Fuel Pump - 69131 -KYB Gas-A-Just Front Shocks - KG5572 -Fel-Pro Fuel Injector O-Ring Set - ES-70599 (not needed to be installed, bought on clearance) -Autobest Gas Strainer - F276S -Ford Sway Bar Bolts/Clips - N806729-S436 -Dorman Oil Drain Plug - 090-115 (was bought for a 2002 Ford Explorer, not sure if fits and is not needed) -Haynes Repair Manual The front suspension pieces and the fuel pump do need to be installed. Today the check engine light came on and I had it scanned at Autozone, code P0301, misfire on cylinder 1. I'm 99% sure it's the fuel pump but I will check the engine during the week for spark plug problems or vacuum leaks and will update the ad if the problem is fixed. The car is drivable, it just idles a little rough. There is a crack on the top of the windshield on the passenger side. It is about 6 inches long and I'm pretty sure it's from the week of bitter cold and snow that Chicago received last week. The passenger side headlight is also cracked and is covered with tape. The light still works though. The fuel tank is 19 gallons but the most I've ever been able to pump into it is about 15 gallons. I'm not sure if it is due to a clogged evap line or canister but the problem never bothered me and I never bothered to look into it.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]
Tue, 14 Jan 2014With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
