2003 Ford Crown Victoria Lx Sport Mercury Marauder Rare, Babied, Exceptional on 2040-cars
Millstone Township, New Jersey, United States

Ultra rare 2003 Ford Crown Vic LX Sport in spectacular condition. I purchased from the original owner in May 2011. It's been my daily driver ever since. Had 90k miles then and 133k now. I am a parts manager at a Ford dealer and a Ford car enthusiast. I was looking for a Mercury Marauder and decided this would be a more practical purchase. It's basically everything the Marauder is minus the DOHC Cobra motor. The Cobra motor makes more horsepower and implodes at around 100k miles and good luck finding somebody capable of rebuilding it when it does. The SOHC version in the VIC usually goes to about 350k miles before a rebuild would even be considered. This thing isn't even broken in yet! I have babied and spoiled this car since I got it. I love it and will be sad to see her go. For those that don't know the Sport comes with rare bucket seats, a floor shifter, sport suspension, bigger tires on 5 spoke alloy wheels. I have invested thousands into this car personalizing it and making it better at what it already does well. Specifically the handling. It was good before. It's ridiculous now. Bigger Metco sway bars front and rear. Metco Watts Link suspension. KYB gas adjust shocks all around. New Ford coil springs in front. The highest rated all season tires high performance tires currently available. Continental Extreme Contact DWS 245/50ZR17 with less then 10k miles on them. Look at the pics! Lots of brand new parts throughout. Most of which were not 'needed'. I get great deals on parts and just can't help myself. Brand new factory wheels and caps. The originals had some scuffs and discoloration. Brand new headlamps. Originals were a bit faded/yellowed. Brand new (NOS actually...been obsolete for years) Marauder taillamps. They just look better then the orange and red oem ones. Console lid. OEM trunk organizer...still in the box. New OEM floor mats...still in the box. Megs exhaust tips. Megs was the original supplier for the Marauder tips. These were custom made for me. Pioneer DVD/SIRIUS/XM/Bluetooth (hands free phone calls) audio system and Pioneer speakers. Sounds and looks fantastic. Plays DVD videos even when your driving. Not recommended! Stereo is upgradeable if you want to add navigation, rear camera, etc. down the road. Synthetic oil since birth. Original owner started it. I carried on the tradition. I'm sure I'm leaving out a bunch. This car drives even better then it looks. It's ultra comfortable. Handles like a mustang. And it's just gorgeous. As I recall the car was involved in a minor 'accident' a month or two before I purchased it. The extent of the damage was a transfer of paint on the rear bumper cover that I was able to buff out in about 6 minutes. Other then that it's been smooth sailing.They just don't make them like this anymore. BRING BACK THE VICS!!!!! If I remember more things I'll update the ad. This car needs nothing and is ready for a new home.

Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5
Tue, Oct 4 2016We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online
Wed, Jun 25 2014Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.
