This is a formerly fully marked Northern California Police Package (P71) Ford Crown Victoria.  Anyone that knows anything about police package vehicles knows that from the ground up these are built better than just about anything ever put on the road. From the suspension, to the wheels, to brakes, rear end, transmission, seats, flooring, electrical system, cooling system, to the hoses themselves - there is nothing ordinary about a police package vehicle. Besides what other vehicle can reach approximately 500,000+ miles if taken care of? 

This particular vehicle is in amazing condition with very excellent and responsive steering, suspension, transmission and engine performance.  It runs, drives, idles, handles, accelerates, and shifts superbly.  The rear seat is BRAND NEW and never even been sat in ever and the original rubber floor is even in great condition with no tears at all.   The town that sold this vehicle is an upscale community of high level residents and very low crime.  The fleet vehicles that are used by this town are well taken care of and sold in great condition. This town even puts stickers on the dash that read 'No Overdrive in Town' to properly take care of the OD transmissions in their cars. They don't even allow door dings to remain on their fleet.  The body and undercarriage are in great condition. The lumbar support button on the driver's seat works well.  What caught my eye is even the wheels, headlights and even engine look  'like new'. The tires and brakes are good. I changed fluids and put in a brand new mass air flow sensor and new high output battery if the buyer wishes or needs to hook up emergency equipment. The white paint is the only thing slightly worn on top from being a 2006 marked black and white unit. Strangely enough the paint still 'beads' as if it was waxed! The cage and emergency equipment have been removed.  The AC only needs charged as no leaks were found.  Both spotlights still attached work well. There is no radio of any kind or rear seat belts, as there was a plastic rear seat removed- why there is now a spare brand new rear seat installed. Any additional items such as these can easily be pulled from any wrecking yard as many of these cars are available for such parts in any town.  I just did not get the chance with a heavy work schedule and too many vehicles.

 I can emphatically state this a VERY good to excellent condition vehicle with first-hand personal knowledge.  I am what you can call an 'expert' in this realm of cars , as I have driven police vehicles from when they were brand new  'on the job' to several individual models over 30 years old and over 300K miles on the clock.   I personally started driving new police vehicles on the job with the first Chevrolet Caprice car - the 1986 model up until very recent Ford model years.  I am personally an enthusiast who buys, restores, and collects older police vehicles. I have a massive collection that started with a 1981 year model.   I always buy very good condition vehicles and do not sell very often.  I happen to have far too many vehicles in my current collection and must start selling as I am running out of storage room.   Being a Chevrolet and 9C1 fan first means I must sell some of my Fords, (even if they are much newer and tighter). Besides, after 1996 year model- the Ford Crown Vic held the Police Car Crown. Ford finally made the Crown Vic a really good car the last 8 or so years of its run.  After driving probably hundreds of police cars for many,many years, I have yet to drive a Crown Vic that wasn't brand new that runs as nice and as tight as this 101K mile car.   Additional pictures available upon request as I could only upload so many here.  There was once a time when Police Package Monacos, Furys, Impalas and Caprices were everywhere....Get a piece of history before these P71s are all abused, destroyed, crushed and gone.

Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.

Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.

Ford Mustang GT500 successor spied near SVT

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.
