Ultra rare 2003 Ford Crown Vic LX Sport in spectacular condition. I purchased from the original owner in May 2011. It's been my daily driver ever since. Had 90k miles then and 133k now. I am a parts manager at a Ford dealer and a Ford car enthusiast. I was looking for a Mercury Marauder and decided this would be a more practical purchase. It's basically everything the Marauder is minus the DOHC Cobra motor. The Cobra motor makes more horsepower and implodes at around 100k miles and good luck finding somebody capable of rebuilding it when it does. The SOHC version in the VIC usually goes to about 350k miles before a rebuild would even be considered. This thing isn't even broken in yet! I have babied and spoiled this car since I got it. I love it and will be sad to see her go. For those that don't know the Sport comes with rare bucket seats, a floor shifter, sport suspension, bigger tires on 5 spoke alloy wheels. I have invested thousands into this car personalizing it and making it better at what it already does well. Specifically the handling. It was good before. It's ridiculous now. Bigger Metco sway bars front and rear. Metco Watts Link suspension. KYB gas adjust shocks all around. New Ford coil springs in front. The highest rated all season tires high performance tires currently available. Continental Extreme Contact DWS 245/50ZR17 with less then 10k miles on them. Look at the pics! Lots of brand new parts throughout. Most of which were not 'needed'. I get great deals on parts and just can't help myself. Brand new factory wheels and caps. The originals had some scuffs and discoloration. Brand new headlamps. Originals were a bit faded/yellowed. Brand new (NOS actually...been obsolete for years) Marauder taillamps. They just look better then the orange and red oem ones. Console lid. OEM trunk organizer...still in the box. New OEM floor mats...still in the box. Megs exhaust tips. Megs was the original supplier for the Marauder tips. These were custom made for me. Pioneer DVD/SIRIUS/XM/Bluetooth (hands free phone calls) audio system and Pioneer speakers. Sounds and looks fantastic. Plays DVD videos even when your driving. Not recommended! Stereo is upgradeable if you want to add navigation, rear camera, etc. down the road. Synthetic oil since birth. Original owner started it. I carried on the tradition. I'm sure I'm leaving out a bunch. This car drives even better then it looks. It's ultra comfortable. Handles like a mustang. And it's just gorgeous. As I recall the car was involved in a minor 'accident' a month or two before I purchased it. The extent of the damage was a transfer of paint on the rear bumper cover that I was able to buff out in about 6 minutes. Other then that it's been smooth sailing.They just don't make them like this anymore. BRING BACK THE VICS!!!!! If I remember more things I'll update the ad. This car needs nothing and is ready for a new home.

MotorWeek finds nice things to say about the 1993 Ford Probe

Tue, Mar 8 2016

This latest in MotorWeek's series of Retro Reviews continues its recent trend of remembering the massive glut of sports coupes that hit the market in the '90s. While vehicles like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mazda RX-7, and Ford Mustang all enjoy solid reputations down to this day, the 1993 Ford Probe, well... doesn't. As you'll soon see, though, the show's opinion suggests the coupe's second generation isn't really all that bad. Turns out they just weren't particularly sporty. Ford and Mazda developed the Probe together, and the Japanese company supplied both the base 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the 164-hp 2.5-liter V6 in the GT trim. The original's pseudo-angular look gave way to a much smoother shape for the second generation. Of course, pop-up headlights remained, which were a design hallmark for many of this era's sports coupes. After driving it, MotorWeek proclaims the Probe is "a winner" and considers the handling a "delight." That's not a big surprise, considering that in those days, a car had to be really bad not to get a decent review from Television's Original Automotive Magazine. However, the show hints at some of the reasons the coupe isn't so well remembered today. Even the GT reportedly suffers from soft springs and lots of understeer, which sounds like exactly the opposite anyone hoping to drive the coupe enthusiastically would want. To sum it all up, we're sure you're just as happy as we are that Ford went back on its initial plan to shelve the Mustang in favor of the front-drive Probe. Related Video:

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
