This is a former Department of Homeland Security supervisor's vehicle from Texas. I purchased it in September, 2013 with approximately 12,500 miles on it and it currently has 15,705 miles on it. I may add a few miles on it just to keep it running but it isn't a daily driver. The tires are Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and are in excellent condition with lots of tread left. There is a full size spare and jack which are both brand new. This is the supervisors package police interceptor with the upgraded radio (CD doesn't work but radio does), cruise control, hubcaps, and door side moulding on all 4 doors. The only things wrong with the car are the CD player and the tire pressure monitoring light is on. I checked the tire pressure and it is fine, my mechanic said it means the batteries are dead in the tire pressure monitoring system and there isn't any need to replace them until you change the tires. The motor oil is still good, the car has cold A/C and good heat, good headlights, good wiper blades, etc. there is nothing you need to do this car to get it road worthy. The interior is immaculate with no rips or tears like you would see in most police cars. Also no holes were drilled in it so you don't have ugly holes inside or outside. The Texas vehicle inspection and registration are still valid until 8/14 and 9/14 (respectively). As you know, the police interceptors have the heavy duty suspension and parts in it for extended service life.

Buyer agrees to pay for shipping at their expense from zip code 78613 (near Austin, Texas), or agrees to pick up locally. Also buyer agrees to pay for any registration or sales taxes payable to transfer registration over to their ownership. I have a clean Texas title in hand.

This is an extremely low mileage police interceptor (I put a Crown Victoria logo on it so as not to have "police" written on the car, but it is easily removed and changed) and this car is no longer made by Ford.

Test drives only for locals who have $10k cash in hand and a valid Drivers License. Otherwise inspection only by appointment. Car is located at my mechanic's business if you want to pay them for a PPI. PPI's are welcomed so long as the vehicle does not leave the property.

NOTE: AUTOCHECK indicates a possible odometer rollback. this is not the case. when the vehicle was originally sold from Homeland Security the clerk did not read the decimal in the odometer and thus overreported the mileage. thus, "11,503.3" became "115,033". this is a digital odometer, not sure how these things can be rolled back.

It has 1152 hours on the idle meter.

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."

Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA autocrossing because of rollover risk

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Autocross can be a great way to break into motorsports, especially at SCCA events that allow run-of-the-mill, street-legal vehicles to be run through the cones in parking lots across the country. But while a wide array of vehicles are eligible, not every one is. And now the Ford Fiesta has been removed from the list of qualifying vehicles in the Sports Car Club of America's Street category for solo events. The removal of the Fiesta was publicized in the latest issue of the SCCA's Fastrack News bulletin, which stated that, due to roll-over risk, Fiestas "do not meet the requirements and are to be removed" from the HS category of eligible vehicles. H Stock (or HS for short) is the lowest category of vehicles certified by the SCCA for use in sanctioned events. The disqualification applies to Fiestas from the 2011 model year onwards, and does not apply to the Fiesta ST, which remains eligible. Of course the Fiesta isn't the only model deemed ineligible for SCCA autocross events. According to Jalopnik, other small hatchbacks and crossovers including the Dodge Caliber, Fiat 500, Scion xB and iQ, Nissan Juke and Mini Countryman are also prohibited from competition. We've reached out to both Ford and the SCCA for clarification on the issue, and will issue an update if and when we receive any substantial information.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
