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. |

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
