2005 Ford Crown Victoria P-71 Police Interceptor **104K HIGHWAY MILES** This was mainly a HIGHWAY CRUISER
**FRONT BUMPER AND ALL LIGHTS NOT INCLUDED UNLESS YOU PURCHASE THEM AFTER THE SALE** I will keep the bumper on until the car is SOLD, and you contact me to keep it on, otherwise it's being removed and sold separately.
READ THE ENTIRE POST
If this car doesn't sell right now, I'm completely cleaning it up and purchasing a seat removing all wiring, equipment etc. I know it looks like shit, I just bought, paid good money for it, and threw it up here for an offer. So if it doesn't sell I'm going all out and fixing the entire car up to get more money out of it. As simple as that. I will spend the $1,400 to repaint it, vinyl/cloth rear seat, rear door panels, add center console, tires, etc. If you want a low mileage P-71, now is the time to take one, because when I fix this P-71 up for the $1400 it needs just to look "pretty and presentable", I'm going to be asking $6,500+. It doesn't necessarily need it, I'm not hurting for money or time, it will require alot of my time and labor, but its up to you if you want to do it yourself on your own schedule and own cost. Again, if it doesn't sell now I'm going all out with it and re-selling it as one of the cleanest low mileage P-71's on here. New center caps, sparkling clean engine bay and all. It will look brand new.
2005 Police Interceptor P-71 package Crown Victoria Interceptor. VIN # confirms it is a P-71. Also used as an Indiana State Trooper Meth Suppression Unit undercover raid car. This car was active.
Here's the deal on the car, was an Indiana State Trooper Highway Cruiser in East Chicago, which is in Indiana, I could go on and on about the power of the car, but I'm sure if you're looking at this post you know the car will break the tires loose at 30mph, and you have to be easy on the gas when accelerating from a dead stop or you're going to sit in one spot roasting the tires. This engine is the Corvette motor of Ford. Features Forged internals instead of Cast, and higher compression. Also has an Oil Cooler for high abuse RPM use.
More about the P-71 Body/Drivetrain THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS THE OPTIONAL LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL. Also, 2005 was the last year for the "Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite Driveshaft" which reassured safe speed over 150mph. They went straight aluminum on the 2006+ to save costs, and had a limiter on the car to 125mph. This car does not have a limiter.
The rear-end is 3:27:1, the suspension is very stiff. The transmission has modified shift points compared to regular Crown Victoria's. It is very aggressive, aggressive as in it shifts from a high RPM to a slightly lower, but higher RPM when you engage the accelerator heavily. In other words, it will redline at 5,500RPM, and only drop back down to 3,800RPM to keep your accelerating speed very high.
Now on to this particular car..
This car was active. It has a plastic rear seat, at THIS particular time it has all the wiring, brackets etc in the car. Painted over with black industrial spray paint by the city of East Chicago/Auctioneer's at the state auction. The stickers are still readable, just all black. Right now, it looks presentable from 25 feet away.
The good:
Low mileage P-71 forged internal high compression engine in very good working order
104K HIGHWAY MILES. This car may have been seen by YOU on the Indiana Interstate's in East Chicago.
Suspension is good
Transmission is good
Limited Slip Differential(also known as Posi-Trac) 3:27:1 gearing
Front seats in very good condition
Dash is in good condition, mainly used brackets to hold and mount equipment so there aren't dozens of holes. The wiring was ran under the dash.
Power Steering pump good
Oil cooler working
Radiator good
All engine internals good
**NO RUST AROUND WHEEL WELL OR UNDER ANY DOORS**
Headlights and Taillights working, there are NO shorts in the wiring
Huge trunk
Exhaust system is in very good condition
**NO LEAKS ANYWHERE INSIDE** Everything is plugged
**NO LEAKS FROM ENGINE OR TRANS OR RADIATOR**
Windows work
Everyone moves out of the way quickly when you're laying down the left lane of the interstate
Still gets 18mpg
Doesn't really need a tune-up
The Bad, not going to bullshit here:
Needs Tires
Needs Alignment
Needs Driver-side Mirror replacement
Needs Rear Seat unless you don't really care about the plastic rear seat
Needs Rear Intererior Door Panels unless you don't really care
Needs SEAT BELTS
Needs AC Fixed
Needs dash light replaced
Needs Re-Paint (if you're as picky as me) Maaco has $500 specials all day long for sanding and re-paint. Black is cheap.
Has small weatherstripping holes
Needs pulley on engine replaced, the pulley rattles and makes noise, bearings are worn out
Horn doesn't work because it was hooked up to the siren
No radio, of course
Has rust on roof from being parked under some shitty berry dropping tree that ate the paint away. Just little spots of rust.
When you hit the gas pedal you may shit yourself while accelerating
That's everything.
As stated above, everything listed above would only cost you $1,400, Tires, Repaint, Seat, Panels everything. All it REALLY needs is tires and an alignment if you don't care about the paint. So all it REALLY needs is ~$600.
You don't have to worry about the engine, or the transmission, or drivetrain, suspension, or any mechanical components.
Everything bad I listed can and will be fixed by me in less than 4 weekends if it doesn't sell now, and marked up to a price that you won't appreciate. It's just up here to see the interest in it in the shape that it's in, before I start getting my hands dirty. I will completely go all out on it if it doesn't go now. I have fixed up many, many, many cars in my short life. This is a drop in the bucket, a cakewalk to fix. I put it up dirty, disgusting, and I'll show you what you missed out on 30 days after it doesn't sell. Plenty of cash to burn, plenty of time to look for a clean used seat and door panels on the internet and Chicago junk yards.
Same condition and same era P-71's with 20,000-50,000 more miles are selling for $3,200-5,000+ on here under SOLD listings. My reserve is set where it needs to be, and I think it's fair. It's ready to go.

Update: We spoke with a Ford representative who said that owners will be notified by mail during the week of January 16 . Dealers will also have the fix available at the same time. Owners can bring in their vehicles to dealers for an evaluation in the mean time. The main text has been updated to reflect this. The Basics: Ford is recalling 680,872 2013-2016 Ford Fusions, 2015-2016 Ford Mondeos, and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZ s for an issue with front driver-side and passenger-side seat belt pretensioners. The Problem: The seat-belt pretensioners did not have sufficient insulation applied. When the pretensioners are activated, the heat generated can cause the cables connected to the belts to separate, which in turn can prevent the seat belts from effectively restraining the occupant. This can lead to injuries. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports two accidents and two injuries have occurred that are related to this recall. The fix: A dealer technician will inject an insulation coating around the pretensioner. This should effectively keep the heat away from the cables, ensuring the seat belt will properly restrain the user in a collision. If you own one: Affected owners will be notified by mail on the week of January 16. Dealers will have the fix available that week, and owners will be able to bring in their vehicles for the fix to be implemented free of charge. Related Video:

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Ken Block drives Fords. Hoons the heck out of 'em, actually. Mostly Fiestas, but also the occasional Focus or Mustang. But earlier this year, the Gymkhana guru revealed his baddest Ford yet: an F-150 SVT Raptor on tracks. And true to form, here he is putting it to the test in the latest video from Monster Energy and Hoonigan Racing.
Filmed at Baldface Lodge in Nelson, BC, the video pairs Block up with snowboarders Zak Hale and Ethan Deiss for some deep-powder action. You'll want to watch the video for yourself, but the bottom line is that the RaptorTrax beats the heck out of waiting on line for the ski lift. It's enough to make us start to look forward to winter... almost.
