-2002 Ford Crown Victoria P71-

Up for auction is my 2002 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.  It is white with blue interior, and features the original police rims with beauty rings.  This car is in very good cosmetic condition.  The exterior has a nice shine to the finish, and only shows a few light scratches and one tiny rust spot on the passenger's side front wheel well.  There is also a larger scratch along the bottom of the passenger's side doors, where the car scraped a rock.  This, however, is not terribly conspicuous and has been touched up a little (see photo).  This car is equipped with many extras which are listed below.

Regarding the pros and cons, this car will need some engine work.  There is a misfire on cylinder 3 which is causing the check engine light to come on and the car runs somewhat rough.  I was told that it needed a new intake manifold, but when I had that done, the misfire came back a few weeks later.  Also, the shifter/gear selector knob is a little loose and I was told it needs repair.  Otherwise, this vehicle is mechanically sound and could make an excellent daily driver once the misfire is taken care of.  The brakes were replaced less than 15K miles ago, it had a full tune-up a year ago, and the rear differential was rebuilt recently.  Also, this car has had regular oil changes every 3000 miles or so, and I have lots of service records to go with it.  I bought the car from the original owner - the Centre Island Police Department in Nassau County, NY.  They did a lot of regular and preventative maintenance on this vehicle.  Tires will need to be replaced in about 5-10K miles, and the full-sized spare is brand new.  Below is a list of some after-market features with this vehicle:

  • Dual Spotlights (driver's side is operable)
  • Interior Dome Light
  • Headlight Flasher (disconnected)
  • Maglite mounted on glove box
  • Havis-Shield console with after-market switch panel (disconnected)
  • CB Radio with Antennas, Microphone, and PA Speaker (disconnected)
  • (6) AMBER Strobes of High Quality - Mirror, Grille, Rear Deck (all disconnected)
  • After-market Pioneer Radio with CD Player and USB port for iPod - makes the sound system sound ten times better!
  • Rear windshield is heavily tinted

Please view all the photos and feel free to ask any questions.  No shipping unless it is solely arranged by the buyer.  Deposit of $150 required within 48 hours of auction close, and cash balance due within 7 days of deposit.

Ford also working on 200-mile EV to compete with Bolt, Model 3

Fri, Mar 6 2015

The Chevrolet Bolt is on a lot of people's radars. You may have even noticed friends and colleagues who harbor very little interest in the automotive world, or anything labeled as "green," who have taken notice of a 200-mile electric vehicle coming out of Detroit. Mass appeal is the idea, after all. You can include Ford in the list of interested parties, in this case with the intention of taking direct aim at the Bolt – and, by proxy, the Tesla Model 3 – with an affordable, long-range EV of its own. Ford will unveil its own long-range EV, positioned to compete with Chevrolet, later this year, according to Automobile. Details are very scarce about Ford's plans, but we do know that the Bolt (or whatever the Chevy all-electric hatchback will end up being called) is expected to offer over 200 miles of driving between charges, with a sticker price around $30,000. The other major player, of course, is Tesla's smaller, more affordable sibling to the Model S. The Model 3, also slated to go on sale in 2017, should cost less than $40,000. While Tesla has established itself in the EV world, another long-range EV out of Detroit would win some customers from the California-based startup. For now, though, we'll just have to wait, as Ford remains tight-lipped about its plans for the car. Automobile predicts a possible unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, what with California's EV mandate being a driver of strategy for various automakers. Most can agree, though, that a larger field of options – while not ideal for backers of the Bolt or Model 3 – will only benefit the car-buying public.

Ford files patent for 11-speed transmission

Sat, Apr 11 2015

The automatic transmission seemed limited to three or four gears for decades, and then the automotive world slowly started to see more ratios becoming available. Today, seven-, eight- or nine-speed gearboxes have become rather common. Ford even has an automatic with 10 gears on the way for the future F-150 Raptor. The Blue Oval might not be done yet, though, because the company also now has a patent on an 11-speed box. The filing, which was discovered by AutoGuide, says this idea "produces eleven forward speed ratios and one reverse speed ratio by selective engagement of three shift elements in various combinations," and the company outlines three different ways of making this possible. The advantage of adding one more ratio is that the gearbox should be able to keep the revs in the ideal portion of the engine's torque curve even longer. Obviously, automakers patent ideas constantly, and applying for one is no guarantee that the tech ever arrives on the market. Conversely, these documents provide a tiny glimpse at one of the brand's focuses of development. If you're mechanically minded or just curious, you can read the entire application here for the technical nitty-gritty.

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years

Wed, 01 May 2013

While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
