 Here's a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor I purchased in MO a month or so ago.

The good:
Car runs and drives good.
The interior does not have lots of holes in it.
The interior is clean overall considering the car's age.
The seats are in good condition.
Since the car is from Missouri, overall the body is decent.  There are only a couple small bubbles that I saw and no rust holes.
The car got new spark plugs and one new coil last week.
The brakes are 40% in the front and 60% in the rear remaining.
The rear doors have all f the lock and latch mechanisms in them.  most cop cars do not.
I have a clean MN title in hand.
The plates and tabs were just purchased and are new.  No new tabs for a year!
Car has no major oil leaks or mechanical problems that I could find.
The ball joints and other front end parts feel good.

The bad:
Car has 142K miles on it, so everything is not "brand new" tight.  It has some rattles and squeaks.
The paint is not too good.  The black is faded and chalky. It is flaked in multiple spots.  It has some scratches and areas that are peeling.
The mismatched front paint is from the car being hit in the front.  It has no frame damage.  The only damage I saw remaining is the core support for the radiator is bent.  This does not affect the function of the car.
The roof has some small dents and holes in it from equipment.
The passenger front window goes up slowly.  It works, but needs help sometimes.
The tires are 30-40% remaining.
One rear inner door handle is broken.  Not the mechanism, just the handle.

If you are looking for a cheaper but reliable car to drive, this car is for you.  Keep in mind that this is a cheaper car that's 13+ years old.  So, it's not perfect.

I have described this car to the best of my knowledge and tried to point out any flaws that I could find.  Please email with questions before bidding.

Thanks for checking it out!!

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.

Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.
