This is a former patrol vehicle retired from a local police agency. It has the expected holes in the dash trim and the trunk lid from police equipment that has been removed. Both rear door panels have holes from removed window screens. Body has scratches and what appears to be a dent from a deflected gunshot. The spotlight was removed from the driver's door pillar, but the wiring and the mounting hole is intact. Map light is missing from the headliner. Dashboard has some traces of a mystery adhesive that I was unable to remove for fear of damaging the finish. There is no spare or jack. Brakes and shocks appear to be in good condition. The car feels solid like a CVPI should. Tires are RSA's, but will need replacement soon. The department of origin (Las Cruces Police Department, NM) intentionally destroyed all the locks on the car due to so many keyed-alike cars in the fleet, so they have all been replaced with new ones.
Engine runs rough. I am not a mechanic, so the problem has not been diagnosed. It may be a minor or a major issue. No check engine light appears and no trouble codes are displayed. The front header panel (where the headlights sit) was replaced due to damage to the original one.
The low mileage (just under 104k) is unusual for this region. This is a restoreable cruiser. It is offered without a warranty and is not returnable. I can trailer the car within this region for a reasonable fee, if needed. Otherwise, shipping is the responsibility of the winning bidder. If the winner intends to drive this vehicle from point of origin in Southern N.M., a temporary operating permit must be obtained from the New Mexico MVD.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
J Mays' legacy
Fri, 15 Nov 2013
Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
