See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"No dents, however there are a couple of very minor scratches, and five or six small spots where the car has some minor surface rust. See photos for details. One plugged hole on roof, two on deck lid. Drivers seat has some minor damage near left hinge from wear and tear. Some natural wear and tear throughout vehicle as can be expected with a vehicle used for law enforcement purposes"

This vehicle is very nice and nicer than most you will find on e-bay or Craigslist. Purchased this vehicle January, 2012, drove daily. Transmission was completely rebuilt in March 2013, due to reverse going out. This is a common problem for the model year 2005, so it is now worry free, with less than 20,000 miles on the rebuild. In May, right hand side catalytic converter was replaced. Most recently the steering rack was replaced.

See photos for condition of vehicle. Some minor, VERY minor surface rust near wheels, which could easily be properly sanded and sprayed. Car is reliable and I would drive it anywhere. Air conditioning is blowing warm. Most likely needs a charge. It was blowing cold until very recently. Headliner is in very good shape with only one minor tear near the ceiling interior light.

In the trunk is a BRAND NEW FIRESTONE FIREHAWK PV41 Spare tire, mounted and ready if needed. This is a $205.00 tire if you are to order it from any tire shop. When I picked this car up, there was no spare. I purchased wheel and tire, and had it mounted.

The odometer photo below shows actual mileage. I may drive it a few miles more while it is for sale, locally, since my current vehicle is being repainted. I have owned six Ford Crown victoria Police interceptors since 2003, and this is one of the nicer ones I have had the pleasure of driving. Originally came from a police department in Ohio somewhere, a friend who is a dealer snagged it for me from an auction.

Ask questions please before you bid. If you bid, you agree to complete transaction should you win. Non paying bidders will be reported immediately. IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK- Please contact me PRIOR TO BIDDING. I understand everyone must start somewhere, however if you do not contact me first, I will cancel your bid.

Again, any questions, please ask prior to bidding! Thank you! Good luck and thank you for your interest!

THERE IS NO RESERVE PRICE. RESERVES ARE STUPID, I SET MY LOWEST PRICE AS THE OPENING BID, SO IF YOU BID 2250.00, AND NO ONE ELSE BIDS, YOU CAN BE THE WINNER. VEHICLE IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AND IF SOMEONE MAKES A REASONABLE OFFER, AND I CHOOSE TO ACCEPT, BYE BYE E-BAY. So if you are interested, use the BUY IT NOW option!

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
