2008 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor (CVPI). One owner, clear title, extensive maintenance records, with only 92,888 miles. Includes heavy duty flooring, severe-duty shock absobers, higher-rate coil springs, and rear anti-roll stabilizer bars, heavier suspension, and it is outfitted with all silicone hoses and premium aircraft clamps. These vehicles generally run hundreds of thousands of miles as taxicabs and law enforcement vehicles, and are not sold by Ford to the general public. Includes manual and comprehensive parts and labor service journal detailing parts and labor on 114 pages of work orders totalling $56,645 spent on fleet maintenance over the life of this vehicle so far. Additionally, the hood, roof, and trunk were repainted and the instrument cluster was replaced at Ford's expense in 2011.

The CVPI rear-wheel drive, V8 power, and reinforced frame, body mounts, and body-on-frame construction are useful for law enforcement and taxi use because repairs are easier and less expensive after collisions, the design facilitates aggressive, safer PIT maneuvers and high-speed chase techniques, and the rims, chassis, and suspension are designed to withstand curb impacts of up to 40 mph. CVPIs are in demand by taxi companies because they want a safe car with a heavy-duty rear bench to comfortably seat three adults.

CVPI enthusiasts appreciate the heavy duty transmission, 187 kW (254 PS; 251 hp) 4.6L V8 engine with 9.6:1 compression (higher than stock), 3.27:1 rear axle, high rpm / high load external oil-to-engine oil cooler designed for higher-load, faster driving for extended periods, T-409 stainless steel dual exhaust without resonators, high rate coil springs, a more powerful 78 A h battery, and a larger 200 A alternator. The cluster sports a 140 mph analog speedometer, digital odometer with hour and trip meters, and compatability with other civilian features.

This unit is NOT equipped with Kevlar-lined front doors, so these are not recommended as protective barriers during gunfights. However, the rear doors open normally from the inside, so suspects or your children may be able to escape the back seating area, as in a typical automobile.. Gunplay, citizen arrests, kidnapping, etc. are not advised.

Flex-fuel cars like the P71 support American farmers here in the midwest where we grow crops used to produce E-85 and biofuels. Around here, E-85 costs about 80-85 cents per gallon less than regular unleaded. I usually also add a few ounces of generic fuel injector cleaner per tankful to increase mpg and boost performance.

Please be advised that the only infallible way to identify a CVPI P71 is to note the inclusion of the code "P71" in the VIN,. When you find one, it's all about functionality, reliability, and industrial strength power. It just works, and it's cheaper and easier to fix than anything else if it stops working. It's a basic, heavy-duty drivetrain, high-performance braking, tight, durable suspension, includes a rugged, kid-proof interior, and is well-documented, in case you want to Google something to fix it yourself.

Please feel free to email or call me at 217/390-8500 with any questions or concerns. Test drives and inspections are welcome and encouraged.

There appears to be an error in the AutoCheck report, which reflects an accident reported in Irving, Texas, although I have confirmed that the car has never been driven to Texas or involved in an accident there. Will attempt to contact the reporting authorities to correct this mistake.

Ford Mondeo with 1.5-liter EcoBoost debuts in China

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Does the car above, posing fancifully in white, look familiar? Well, it should. Although it wears Mondeo badges in the form you see above for the Chinese market - as it does in Europe - the car is basically the same thing sold in the US as the Ford Fusion. Of course, it's what's under that shapely skin that counts.
Ford has chosen the Shanghai Motor Show as the venue with which to unveil its 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. We'd heard about the engine before, but now we have a few performance estimates to share: 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet).
Those numbers pretty much confirm previous rumors indicating about 177 in each category, and it's right on par with what Ford's own 1.6-liter EcoBoost produces. Ford is claiming best-in-class fuel economy as well, but no specific figures have yet been provided. In any case, we'll surely have all the data soon enough, as the 1.5-liter mill is destined for the US Fusion in 2014.

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.

Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
