Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

Okay, this vehicle is probably not going to sell because of what the vehicle means to me but I figured I would list it just to see if somebody has a bigger interest than me.

First off, the car is going to need another clean car to build. The entire car is rust rust and more rust. The entire underneath is ruined including the torques. It's going to take a true surgeon to bring this car back to life. But where theres a will theres a way I guess. The fenders are shot, doors are shot, quarters shot, trunk shot, wheel wells shot. THE BODY IS TOAST this is not for the faint of heart.

On for the good on the car. How many chances are you going to get to buy a barn find 71 grabber blue cobra these days, matching numbers at that! Car has original engine, with every correct accessory, carb, heads, valve covers, distributor, shroud you name it they are the ones that came on the car new. Has the original transmission and nodular rear end also. Interior is nice, perfect package tray, like practicaly a NOS dashpad, nice door panels and a really really nice console. The car has a super nice grille with only one crack and no missing pieces WITH THE COBRA EMBLEM. The bezels arent pitted either. Most chrome on the car doesnt need rechromed in my opionion other than the bumpers. This car even has the correct air cleaner. Did you notice the little emblem on the hood that says ford? Most restored 71's dont have that its impossible to find and this car even has that.

So all the hard to find parts are here and its matching numbers in grabber blue with rear window louvers. VERY VERY ATTRACTIVE car. Not to mention the factory laser stripe the car was a looker. Open to cash offers!!!! 260-306-1375 Real offers as I know what the car could be parted for which I will not do so don't ask. As seen in pics car even has the jack...How rare is that? Car has engine id tag and buck tag. I have the original warranty card and a little other stuff. Clean title guys!!! LETS JUST REMEMBER THIS CAR IS AS ROUGH METAL WISE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. So don't bid unless you know what your up for. Hood is rust free and decklid is very useable.

This is my dream car so its going to take the right buyer/offer to sell. Thanks.

Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
