2002 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor. This car has been in over 65 movies and tv shows in the last 2 years, so you know you can make money with it.
The big value in this car is that it's ready for a cheap lightbar and ready for movie work. Retired Police cars tend to all have their stickers removed by what I could only guess as a 4" metal grinder... (or a chainsaw in some cases LOL) Anyways, this is decent paint for movie work, otherwise repainting a decommissioned Police Car is around $1,300 and even more when it comes with body damage from sticker removal (Just go to a Police Auction and see the condition they are in!)
116,000 miles, STRONG motor and Automatic transmission. The wear issues with these cars have been resolved, as they are famous for having the heater hose port break off the intake manifold, so I replaced that last year.
The car WILL come with a Police Partition (Cage) and plastic prisoner seats, but I have a NEW rear seat if you wanna use the car as a commuter. 8 corner strobe lights are likely to come with the car, lots of Police Stuff if you wanna pay for it. (I got a 2008 that I'm switching everything over to.) If you wanna pay me fair market value for Police gear, I'll leave it on, saving you installation labor.
New stereo, with CD player but needs speakers
Paint it okay, rear doors are fresher paint, hood and trunk 2 years ago, but it's not as good as factory. There are a few small chips and scratches but ALL cop cars have those.
I upgraded to slotted and drilled front rotors and new pads 2 weeks ago, you can feel the difference in hard stopping, especially if repeated stops
Rear windows do not operate and I will be giving you rear door panels off my 2008, so they won't match color wise.
Driver's spotlight works great, I never got around to seeing why the passenger Side one isn't working.
Front windshield was replaced last year. Also replaced most of the pulleys and serpentine belt as well as the alternator last year.
The interior is that blue color, not too pretty, but for movie work it's fine. headliner will have some material removed when I pull the dash cam, and some damage from installing lights, switches, etc, Deal with it.
Most of my decals are magnetic, so you don't have to worry about removing them.
You will have a lot of hubcaps, the baby moons are on, and LAPD replica covers are over them. I also have about 7 spares that I can give you.
There's a nail in one of the tires, been there for a while, never been an issue, tires are okay, but probably need replacing by next winter.
There will be a few holes in the roof from 2 Antennas and my Arjent S2 LED lightbar that might be for sale.
Hit me up if you have any questions, don't be looking for a Beauty Queen, but it runs strong, gets good MPG and of course these cars run forever.
Come out and test drive it.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a lean, mean, Z/28-fighting machine [w/video]
Mon, 17 Nov 2014If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the renewed rivalry between the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro will never, ever cease. For every version of Ford's pony car, there's an equally potent Chevrolet. And so with the debut of the Camaro Z/28 earlier this year, Ford has responded with a track-focused 'Stang of its own, resurrecting the Shelby GT350 name.
It looks to be a fine piece of work, this Mustang, with power coming from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V8 that will produce "more than 500 horsepower" and "above 400" pound-feet of torque. That grunt runs to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, and a Torsen limited-slip differential keeps everything in line.
But that's hardly the most impressive piece of the GT350 puzzle. Ford has increased the Mustang GT's chassis stiffness for duty here in the Shelby, and the coupe employs MagneRide damping which automatically adjusts based on road conditions and driver inputs. It's a first both for the Blue Oval and for the segment. And speaking of firsts, the GT350 uses a flat-plane crankshaft - something Ford has never included in a production V8 before.
