2005 Ford Crown Victoria P-71 Police Interceptor **104K HIGHWAY MILES** This was mainly a HIGHWAY CRUISER
**FRONT BUMPER AND ALL LIGHTS NOT INCLUDED UNLESS YOU PURCHASE THEM AFTER THE SALE** I will keep the bumper on until the car is SOLD, and you contact me to keep it on, otherwise it's being removed and sold separately.
READ THE ENTIRE POST
If this car doesn't sell right now, I'm completely cleaning it up and purchasing a seat removing all wiring, equipment etc. I know it looks like shit, I just bought, paid good money for it, and threw it up here for an offer. So if it doesn't sell I'm going all out and fixing the entire car up to get more money out of it. As simple as that. I will spend the $1,400 to repaint it, vinyl/cloth rear seat, rear door panels, add center console, tires, etc. If you want a low mileage P-71, now is the time to take one, because when I fix this P-71 up for the $1400 it needs just to look "pretty and presentable", I'm going to be asking $6,500+. It doesn't necessarily need it, I'm not hurting for money or time, it will require alot of my time and labor, but its up to you if you want to do it yourself on your own schedule and own cost. Again, if it doesn't sell now I'm going all out with it and re-selling it as one of the cleanest low mileage P-71's on here. New center caps, sparkling clean engine bay and all. It will look brand new.
2005 Police Interceptor P-71 package Crown Victoria Interceptor. VIN # confirms it is a P-71. Also used as an Indiana State Trooper Meth Suppression Unit undercover raid car. This car was active.
Here's the deal on the car, was an Indiana State Trooper Highway Cruiser in East Chicago, which is in Indiana, I could go on and on about the power of the car, but I'm sure if you're looking at this post you know the car will break the tires loose at 30mph, and you have to be easy on the gas when accelerating from a dead stop or you're going to sit in one spot roasting the tires. This engine is the Corvette motor of Ford. Features Forged internals instead of Cast, and higher compression. Also has an Oil Cooler for high abuse RPM use.
More about the P-71 Body/Drivetrain THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS THE OPTIONAL LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL. Also, 2005 was the last year for the "Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite Driveshaft" which reassured safe speed over 150mph. They went straight aluminum on the 2006+ to save costs, and had a limiter on the car to 125mph. This car does not have a limiter.
The rear-end is 3:27:1, the suspension is very stiff. The transmission has modified shift points compared to regular Crown Victoria's. It is very aggressive, aggressive as in it shifts from a high RPM to a slightly lower, but higher RPM when you engage the accelerator heavily. In other words, it will redline at 5,500RPM, and only drop back down to 3,800RPM to keep your accelerating speed very high.
Now on to this particular car..
This car was active. It has a plastic rear seat, at THIS particular time it has all the wiring, brackets etc in the car. Painted over with black industrial spray paint by the city of East Chicago/Auctioneer's at the state auction. The stickers are still readable, just all black. Right now, it looks presentable from 25 feet away.
The good:
Low mileage P-71 forged internal high compression engine in very good working order
104K HIGHWAY MILES. This car may have been seen by YOU on the Indiana Interstate's in East Chicago.
Suspension is good
Transmission is good
Limited Slip Differential(also known as Posi-Trac) 3:27:1 gearing
Front seats in very good condition
Dash is in good condition, mainly used brackets to hold and mount equipment so there aren't dozens of holes. The wiring was ran under the dash.
Power Steering pump good
Oil cooler working
Radiator good
All engine internals good
**NO RUST AROUND WHEEL WELL OR UNDER ANY DOORS**
Headlights and Taillights working, there are NO shorts in the wiring
Huge trunk
Exhaust system is in very good condition
**NO LEAKS ANYWHERE INSIDE** Everything is plugged
**NO LEAKS FROM ENGINE OR TRANS OR RADIATOR**
Windows work
Everyone moves out of the way quickly when you're laying down the left lane of the interstate
Still gets 18mpg
Doesn't really need a tune-up
The Bad, not going to bullshit here:
Needs Tires
Needs Alignment
Needs Driver-side Mirror replacement
Needs Rear Seat unless you don't really care about the plastic rear seat
Needs Rear Intererior Door Panels unless you don't really care
Needs SEAT BELTS
Needs AC Fixed
Needs dash light replaced
Needs Re-Paint (if you're as picky as me) Maaco has $500 specials all day long for sanding and re-paint. Black is cheap.
Has small weatherstripping holes
Needs pulley on engine replaced, the pulley rattles and makes noise, bearings are worn out
Horn doesn't work because it was hooked up to the siren
No radio, of course
Has rust on roof from being parked under some shitty berry dropping tree that ate the paint away. Just little spots of rust.
When you hit the gas pedal you may shit yourself while accelerating
That's everything.
As stated above, everything listed above would only cost you $1,400, Tires, Repaint, Seat, Panels everything. All it REALLY needs is tires and an alignment if you don't care about the paint. So all it REALLY needs is ~$600.
You don't have to worry about the engine, or the transmission, or drivetrain, suspension, or any mechanical components.
Everything bad I listed can and will be fixed by me in less than 4 weekends if it doesn't sell now, and marked up to a price that you won't appreciate. It's just up here to see the interest in it in the shape that it's in, before I start getting my hands dirty. I will completely go all out on it if it doesn't go now. I have fixed up many, many, many cars in my short life. This is a drop in the bucket, a cakewalk to fix. I put it up dirty, disgusting, and I'll show you what you missed out on 30 days after it doesn't sell. Plenty of cash to burn, plenty of time to look for a clean used seat and door panels on the internet and Chicago junk yards.
Same condition and same era P-71's with 20,000-50,000 more miles are selling for $3,200-5,000+ on here under SOLD listings. My reserve is set where it needs to be, and I think it's fair. It's ready to go.

Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.

Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.

Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
