Up for sale is a beautiful 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (CVPI) P71 Package with a Clear Texas Title in-hand.  This is a highly reliable, powerful, and economical (28 mpg HWY) car.  It has never left me stranded, starts on the first try every time, and does not leak.  It drives straight and smooth, the AC blows cold, and it is regularly detailed (I'm an ex-detailer).  The transmission is strong and crisp (zero slips in any gear).  The VIN is 2FAFP71V48X142816

This CVPI is finished out in one of the rarest, yet most desirable color combos, Medium Gray Metallic over Black.  I waited for months for this combo before purchasing this particular one.  This P71 was retired from active duty by a Georgia Sheriff's Department less than 6,000 miles ago (January 2013).  During that tenure, it was municipality maintained; now, currently professionally maintained and cleaned regularly.  Being a southern car (first Georgia, now Texas), there is no rust on this vehicle.  This car passed inspection last month with flying colors.

For the wear items, I estimate there is 50% life left on the tires (OEM Goodyears) and 60% left on the brakes. 

There are no lights or police equipment in this vehicle. The spotlight and extra dome (ticket) light are legal.  The antennas are dummies and the other roof holes have been plugged with color-matched PVC plastic plugs.  

This P71 is loaded with every available option at the time, including:
  • Kevlar-Lined Front Doors
  • Adjustable Pedals (power)
  • Tilt Wheel
  • Traction Control (very rare)
  • AM/FM/CD Player
  • Door Moldings (most are missing the front door moldings)
  • Interior Carpet & Floor Mats (most have vinyl)
The recent upgrades and repairs are:
  • New GoRhino! Push Bar
  • New Dashboard (no holes!)
  • New Vinyl Backseat 
  • New Rear Door Panels
  • New Serpentine Belt & Tensioner
  • New Headlights & Turn Signals (from 2011 model)
  • Professionally Tinted Windows (15% front, 5% rear)
  • OEM Spare Tire (CVPI's don't come with spare tires)
  • Kicker 10" Subwoofer w/ MTX Amp
While this is a great example of a late-model P71, it is not perfect.  There are some areas that are worth noting.
  • New speedometer; last one died and needed replacement so the mileage reads incorrectly (reads 83,xxx versus actual of 113,xxx)
  • Needs 1 tire pressure and 1 ABS sensor (per pulling the codes)
  • Paint on rear 1/4 panel was repaired incorrectly (pictured); it isn't terrible, but it may bother some
  • There are some dings on the car, mainly from the light bar on the roof
  • Driver's seat has a tear from officer's pistol/holster; easily recovered or replaced
  • Very slight exhaust manifold leak when cold (very common in these cars); goes away after car is warm
Please review all of the pictures thoroughly and ask any questions you may have.  I tried to be as honest as I could with this description.  This car has served me well for the past 18 months.  Shortly after purchasing, I began working from home (hence the low mileage since purchasing) and no longer have a need for two vehicles.  It will be hard to part with-as the car is reliable, comfortable, and strong.  It provided free security for my home and neighbors, just from sitting in the driveway.  These cars go for 300k+ miles when used as taxis and I have no doubt that this will be one of those examples.

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.
