2006 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
|
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. |

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here
Fri, 07 Mar 2014A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.
Takata air bag recall list
Tue, Dec 9 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
