 Selling my cream puff 2005 Ford Crown Victoria LX Sport. I am the 3rd owner of the car (original owners always serviced the car at Ford). It has always been a civilian car and I ALWAYS had the car serviced at Ford (records on request). Current odometer reading at 119700. The car is the Sport Edition which has numerous differences and upgrades from any of the other Crown Victoria models. The color is dark toreador. Differences are as follows:

revised springs, shocks, and stabilizer bars.
17" alloy 5-spoke wheels (currently has 18" Mustang Fan blades professionally powdercoated)
rear air suspension.
leather seating - front bucket seats
monochromatic exterior paint.
center console with floor shift.
3.27 RAR - open differential.
dual exhaust

I have been the current owner for the past 4 years and have added some upgrades and accessories. I have not done anything to alter the integrity of the motor. Here is the list of the current additions:

18" Mustang Fan Blade rims wrapped in new (20k miles) BF Goodrich tires $1500
Upgraded to a custom 1.5" exhaust done by Eddies Speedshop in Phoenix $800
2 new stainless steel Flowmaster 40 mufflers $400
2 new Magnaflow Hi-flow Cats w/ new O2 sensors $800
Custom powdercoated exhaust tips $200
Ford Racing rear differential cover $150
Ford mud flaps $50
1.5" front-end lowering springs by Eaton $300
front Mach-1 chin spoiler $200
Ford trunk organizer $350----also have a trunk liner I would throw in (not in use) $100
Husky all-weather mats in the front and back $200
new Ford headlights and side marker $300
front and rear dashmats $100

The car has been meticulously maintained, but I would like to mention 2 extremely minor blemishes on the exterior. There is 50-cent piece size "crackle" in the clear coat on the trunk and minor puncture on the rear bumper. Also, the rear backseat has some blemishes on the leather seats (I have never tried to clean it because the rear seats have always been covered with towels to protect from my kids.

I have the clear title on-hand. Asking $6000 OBO.  All respectful offers will be considered.  There will be a non-refundable $500 deposit at the end of the auction and the remaining balance will be paid in full within the next 7 days after receiving the deposit.  If the car is being shipped, I will overnight the title after receiving the remaining balance for the car.  If the car is being picked up locally, I will only accept a cashiers check.  There are no warranties on the car and is sold as is.  Once the car is purchased it is no longer my responsibility.  I will do everything I can to help assist in a local pickup or shipment.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
