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.

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues

Fri, 09 May 2014

Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.

Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant

Tue, Jun 17 2014

How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.
