1997 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor Low Original Miles 67k - Fast! on 2040-cars
East Northport, New York, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1997 Ford Crown Victoria. It has the 'P71' Police Package and was never used as a patrol car! It was property of the Federal Prison System and was used by a corrections officer. I bought the vehicle in January 2014, with just under 62,000 miles on it (currently 67K). This was after countless hours of searching for the best Aero-P71 with the lowest mileage I could find. I have had a lot of work put into the car - some mechanical maintenance, and some performance upgrades. The exterior of this vehicle is in very good condition, with barely any rust, no dents or major scratches, and has not been in any accidents. The only couple of things to point out are: A small chip in the windshield on the passenger's side and some bubbling of the paint above the windshield. There are also two antenna holes that have been plugged, and the spotlight was removed and discarded. The interior is in very good condition, showing no rips or stains in the seats and very minimal wear to the carpeting. The dashboard is clean and free of cracks, and the headliner is just slightly separated at the back windshield (does not affect visibility). Missing cup holders. The tires on this car were replaced in March of this year, and remain with at least 80% tread on them. The brakes are extremely solid, as well as the suspension. The car had a tune-up in May, with all new ignition wires, double platinum spark plugs, a new fuel filter, a thorough cleaning of the throttle body, and even a Seafoam treatment. In addition, the oil filter adapter housing and hose lines to the oil cooler were replaced and should never leak again. Regarding performance upgrades, the rear gears were swapped for 3.73's, a BBK underdrive pulley kit was added, and a large K&N cold air intake with 70mm MAF was added. This work was done by a local professional who specializes in Mustangs and other Ford V8's, and he calibrated the computer for these upgrades and also switched the speedometer gear so it would read accurately with the new rear gears. The car was also tuned for 93 octane fuel, and I would guess the car is now pushing over 250 horsepower now (which is what the 2011 P71's put out, and they weigh several hundred pounds more)! The sole reason I am selling this car is because it has a rod knock. However, I have not figured out whether it is due to a spun bearing, or something else. As any Ford enthusiast should know, this problem is almost unheard of for the 4.6 motors, and should have never happened. The car can be driven short distances, but I would not recommend driving it as more than a station car until the problem can be solved. The good news is there are no leaks whatsoever and no signs of smoke. The car is still faster than most Crown Vic's, but should not be driven hard at this point. In tip-top shape, she was able to keep up with a 300-horsepower 2011 Subaru WRX. A couple other things to note: There is an exhaust leak from one of the catalytic converters. Also, the transmission shift points are much more firm after the performance tune, which in my opinion, feels very sporty. I am including the original air intake and MAF sensor, as well as the SCT X4 flash programmer with the sale of the car. Sold AS-IS, where is. Shipping must be arranged by the buyer. |

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP
Thu, Aug 6 2015Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.
And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
