FOMOCO's “Special” Crown Victoria …

 The 1992 Touring Sedan (P75)

This is a rare opportunity to win what could be the lowest mile Ford Crown Victoria P75 Touring Sedan in the country. If you’re NOT familiar with this 1 year only Special from the Ford Motor company, read the description “P75 history…” at the end of the description. This is not your standard P71 interceptor !!!

 I bought this vehicle several years back from a retired Police detective in Buffalo New York who managed to rack up only 29 300 miles. This was his private car and never served detective duty. I’m a car collector and couldn’t resist buying it.

I hardly drove (less than 200 mls) it over the last 6 years to preserve it’s low mileage. It was stored away, I just kept the fluids topped off and started it regularly.

The car appears to be stock except a few tasteful, modifications done by the previous owner which seem to reflect his police background:

·       Like new dual Flowmaster mufflers and turndowns before the rear axle (they still look like new). They add a nice rumble without causing resonance or drone in the interior

·       Upgraded Pioneer stereo (must have been done in the 90’s since it is an AM FM casette unit)

·       Various P75 & Interceptor commemorative emblems /decals (They are all 3M adhesive emblems and could be removed for a stock look) I do have all original body emblems.

·       Ford Racing cold air intake

According to a sticker on the driver side rear window, the car has been “super sealed” (rust prevention treatment similar to Ziebart) when new and it shows. I don’t see any rust on the body. However, I wouldn’t describe this Crown Vic as flawless  show car, it’s a 22 year old automobile with little marks here and there, but very little effort could turn this into one of the cleanest, probably lowest mile P75’s  in the country.

Or you just enjoy it for what it is, a powerful rear wheel drive fully loaded V8 police interceptor with less than 30.000 mls! They don’t build them like this anymore.

I have the clear title in my hands, but currently registration is expired. You’re welcome to come by and inspect the car in person, or inquire about details in writing through Ebay.  

I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. 

Interior:

I rate it 8 out of 10. Very clean, flawless headliner, minor stains on carpet, new floor mats. Rear bench and passenger seat are like new. Driver seat has slight discoloration seems a shade darker as the rest, however it is the original (P75 exclusive seat) I tried to capture it but you can’t see it on the photos.  The P75’s had every factory option available in 1992:

·       Power Steering

·       Power Seats with lumbar support

·       Power windows

·       Power lock

·       Power doors

·       Power Mirrors

·       Power Antenna

·       Keyless entry

·       Air condition

·       Anti lock brakes

·       Remote trunk and fuel door release

·       Traction control

·       Rear air suspension

·       Full leather interior

 All Power options work except the remote trunk release occasionally cut’s out but the key always works. AC has been converted to R134 and blows ice-cold. Airbag light blinks.

Exterior:

I rate it a 7 out of 10. Car is 22 years old and has minor nicks and here and there. There are too small to show on the photos however. All P75’s came in a two tone color scheme. Glass is flawless. Door edges and wheel wells look extremely clean. Headlight and taillight lenses are clear. Good rubber parts. Original alloys have some clear coat peeling.

Engine, Transmission:

29 528 original miles. Not much else to say.

 I changed all fluids this week. Engine oil + filter Transmission fluid + filter, brakefluid, rear axle fluid. No noises or leaks. The P75’s has all the P71 Interceptor heavy duty parts (springs, shocks, brakes, cooling, quick ratio steering, swaybars, traction control, dual exhaust etc.).

Tires, Brakes, Suspension:

Tires are old and should be replaced if used as a driver, however they have between 30 and 50% thread left.. Brakes are strong, pads seem to be new. The emergency brake cable seized since it was never used and was removed. Air suspension and load levelling work as intended. Steering is tight and direct, no leaks or noises.

The P75 history…

The 1992 Ford Crown Victoria Touring Sedan P75 is truly a unique and eclectic car. In fact these are so rare, I did not even know they existed until I did some homework on the models. Most people, like myself, that are fans of the Crown Victoria know of the P71 (Police Car), and the other “P” designations of the many base and enhanced models of Crown Victorias. For only one year in 1992, these few limited production cars were built as the Crown Victoria Touring Sedan under the P75 VIN Designation. 1992 is also the first year of the newer crown vic with the 4.6 engine. I am assuming due to the 30% extra price over base and the fact these were more “performance” type cars than the general Crown Vic crowd attracted, the orders were not many thus it was only made one year. I would say this was really the first version of what Chevy did with the Impala SS. I would also say that the total productions of these Touring Sedans are about a % of the Impala SS too. I really have not been able to find out how many of these were actually made.

What this car is, is  essentially a P71 with every available option known to the Ford Lineup designated under the one time used P75 VIN ID. Later Crown Vic’s would see things like the HPP package, sport package and special ordered version of the car per unit, but not to this loaded out level as a “Touring Sedan” package like the P75.

The Touring Sedan has the suspension of the P71 with the higher rate springs, larger sway bars, quicker ratio steering, etc plus all the luxury items found on a loaded out Town Car. The Touring Sedan also boasts the 3.27 rear gear ratio with traction control, 4 wheel disk brakes, dual exhaust higher performance engine (210HP), heavy duty cooling, power steering cooling, extra transmission cooling, gauges, larger wheels and performance tires, ABS, Traction, etc.

It had a top speed said to hit in the 130s. (same as P71) Of course things like power windows, power seats with recliners and lumbar, power mirrors, power antenna  Door keypad system. The door panels and leather seats are special to the Touring Sedan along with the dark wood trim inside. I do not believe there is an option available that is not on this car. It has it all. I also believe that all touring sedans are a two tone color combination.

Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.

Couple fined for parking Ford F-150 in their own driveway

Tue, Jan 20 2015

A homeowners' association in New York is suing two of its residents for parking their pickup truck in their own driveway. David and Arna Orlando of Manlius, NY, are facing a lawsuit from the Kimry Moor Homeowners Association for parking their black 2014 Ford F-150 pickup in their own driveway. The Orlandos own their home, but common areas such as their driveway are managed by their HOA, which limits what vehicles can park in the open. They only allow "private, passenger-type, pleasure automobiles" to park outside of a garage. David Orlando says his pickup is a personal passenger vehicle and that the rule is silly. He also feels he is being unfairly targeted. A Syracuse.com reporter drove around the Orlandos' neighborhood and saw another fullsize pickup parked in another driveway, along with a large van and SUV. The Orlandos said in court documents that the pickup is registered as a private vehicle and neither of them have commercial drivers' licenses. The lawsuit was filed in August 2013 and is still in the discovery phase. Depositions are up next. New York seems to have gone power-mad when it comes to regulating common driveway activities. In a Garden City, NY, neighborhood last year police were called when two men began washing a new Volkswagen "in public view", which was against a local ordinance.
