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. |

Ford Transit gets outfitted for prison duty
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Between the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 and Expedition special service vehicles, Ford has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.
"Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford's deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager. "Many Police Advisory Board members have had the chance to drive this vehicle and they are excited about it. This new vehicle is tough, smart and efficient - ideal for the needs of law enforcement agencies."

Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
