You are bidding on a 1999 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. This happens to be the Street Appearance package, so it has the silver grille, body-colored mirror inserts, silver trim around the trunk lid and bumper covers, and full velour seating with center armrests. Everything in this car works.
AC blows cold, defrost, lights, mirrors, trunk release, steering, windows, and locks. Even the secondary dome light is still operational! This is a former fire chief's car, so it avoided a lot of the street wear and tear associated with a patrol or pursuit vehicle. The paint and interior still present well. The minor chips and scratches do not detract from what is still a very presentable car. The only issue is A.), the CEL is on due to an oxygen sensor, and B.), the heat is not working well due to shoddy mechanics working on my car. The heater core was replaced new, but the vacuum hoses were not re-installed properly and the mechanic refuses to accept responsibility. As a result, halfway decent heat is only achieved in the city. Highway driving overwhelms the system as it is now so no heat.

There is still a LOT of life left in this car despite the mileage. New brakes front and rear, new rear rotors, rebuilt rear axle, new radiator, new spark plugs, new fuel pump, new air filter and fuel filter, new shift cable, good rubber all around, good full size spare in the trunk. This is a very good city vehicle, or a pretty reliable road car in the spring/summer. It still rides smoothly (the rear axle is from a 2001 Town Car, so some acceleration is lost), and tracks well down the highway for it's size and age. No noticeable shimmying or pulling when the brakes are applied. In all, this was my wife's work vehicle - she drives 1000 miles a week - and except for driving over a tire in the middle of the road, we've never been stranded due to mechanical failure. Bid now and either fix it up without being too deep in the hole, or drive it as is with normal maintenance. Either way is fine!!

Local pick-up only - you pay and arrange for any shipping yourself. $500 non-refundable deposit due on winning bid, and all remaining monies due will be paid in cash before vehicle is released. Title must be transferred upon pick-up of the vehicle, we can make arrangements due to respective work schedules and DMV operating hours. Winning bidder has 72 hours after payment to arrange pickup or money will be returned - less deposit - and car will be relisted.

No warranties are expressed or implied - car is AS IS WHERE IS. I know this is a good car, but I can't predict how someone else will drive and damage the vehicle upon pickup and usage. Registration and insurance is the buyer's responsibility.

The car is offered for sale locally as well, so I reserve the right to end the auction early unless otherwise noted.

HAPPY BIDDING!!

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
