2005 Ford Crown Victoria Unmarked Police Interceptor, Mint, Low Miles, Gorgeous! on 2040-cars
Canal Winchester, Ohio, United States
This is one of the nicest examples of it's
kind available anywhere. This is a gorgeous, always unmarked United
States Federal Government unit that came out of service with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation in California in the fall of 2011 (at that time, it had only 18,000 miles on it). It now has only 31,379 miles. It was purchased by a meticulous enthusiast, and law-enforcement officer, here in Ohio and driven only in perfect conditions. It has never seen a winter, nor any salt or snow, and is absolutely rust and corrosion-free. It has been garage kept and is as close to new as you will find. It is finished in Silver Birch Clearcoat
Metallic, one of the most beautiful and rare colors available on the
Crown Victoria. If you are searching for the ultimate Crown Victoria
Police Interceptor, here you go...
You are viewing an absolutely beautiful, very low-mileage, always unmarked, loaded 2005 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with the coveted "Street Appearance Package". Recently out of service from United States Federal Government, Federal Bureau of Investigation in California, where it was assigned to one agent for it's entire life, with only 31,379 actual, documented miles on it. This is a beautiful example of a very rare, hard to find car in a very rare and very desirable color. The finish is absolutely beautiful and this vehicle has an
absolutely spotless Carfax report. It has never been involved in any
accidents. This unit has never been in regular police service and has never had a lightbar or decals installed. This unit includes all of the options you would expect...traction control, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, factory auxiliary police dome lamp, power trunk release, factory AM/FM/CD stereo, cruise control, power split-bench velour cloth front and velour rear seating w/dual fold-down center armrests, full factory carpeting and a heavy-duty, 8.8" 3.27 ratio "Traction-Lok" limited-slip rear differential. These items, of course, are just the beginning of the list of equipment on this car. In my years of buying
and selling police vehicles, I have had very few cars that come close
to the condition of these units, they are extremely well maintained,
actually over-maintained, and typically need no repairs. This
was a one-driver car, assigned to one federal agent throughout the
entire life of the car. It was then sold to a meticulous, picky owner who BABIED this car over the past two and one-half years, putting only 13,000 miles on it in that time. For those of you who know, that makes all of the
difference in the world when it comes to how these cars are maintained
and treated. It has NEVER been smoked in, looks as close to new as you
will find and has virtually zero wear on the interior, even on the
seating. The rear seat appears to have never been used. All of the factory manuals are included with the vehicle, and are in place in the glove box. The trunk compartment is extremely clean, and the original full size spare tire is in place. This
unit is also equipped with, of course, the full "Police Interceptor"
package which includes the 4.6-liter H.O. engine, 4-speed overdrive
heavy-duty transmission, 3.27 rear "Traction-Lok" differential, lateral bow (roof) reinforcement, 245-50-18 ultra-high performance
radials that are in beautiful condition and mounted on a brand-new set of factory, 18 X 8 "Marauder" alloy wheels with correct-appearing "Ford" logos (instead of the Mercury logos), stainless-steel dual exhaust with factory crossover pipe,
police-only lightweight balanced aluminum driveshaft, special
police-spec heavy-duty frame, 4-wheel disc brakes, severe-duty
suspension, heavy-duty cooling, certified 140-mph speedometer and much, much more. For those of you who know Crown Victorias, you are probably already aware that the 2004-2011 models are the years to have...2004 was the first year for the higher-horsepower engine, and 2005 was the first year for the larger, heavy-duty 31-spline rear axles. All
Crown Victorias produced from 2004-onward utilized the new, improved,
250-horsepower 4.6 liter V8 engine and are the fastest Crown Victorias
produced due to many changes that were made, mainly in the intake
system. Previously, the Police Interceptor produced 239 horsepower, but
the 2004-newer Police Interceptor increased that number to 250
horsepower due to the addition of a new "Marauder" air intake setup.
This included a new airbox that resembles the Mercury Marauder airbox
(raised airbox lid, deeper bottom), with a new, larger, integrated 80 mm
(3.1 in) mass airflow (MAF) sensor that is part of the airbox lid. This
allows for much more precise flow calibration and reduces the chances
of air leakage. The P71 zip tube (the flexible rubber hose between the
throttle body and MAF outlet) is also used to reduce NVH (noise,
vibration, and harshness) as well as transfer air from the airbox to the
throttle body with minimal flow resistance. Crown
Victorias like this one are becoming nearly extinct, so here's your
opportunity if you've been looking for one of the nicest you will find
in a rare and desirable color combination with ultra-low mileage. These are the Crown Victorias aficionados lust after, and this is a GORGEOUS example. It is very responsive, smooth-shifting and, of course, very fast. This
unit is in absolutely excellent overall condition, has been very well-maintained
and has little to none of the normal wear and tear you would expect to find on a
used police vehicle. This vehicle, as most used vehicles do,
will have imperfections...this typically includes; scratches, chips,
nicks, dings, etc....that being said, this car has nothing of any consequence that I am aware of and no known mechanical
defects. It runs and drives excellent. Please, keep in mind, we
strive to find the nicest used vehicles possible, but they are still
used vehicles. This
2005 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor will sell to the high
bidder at the end of the auction, providing the low reserve is met.
Please complete all inspections BEFORE bidding...if you win the auction,
you own the vehicle. I
am a law-enforcement officer as well and as such, work long hours so
you are free to call me as late in the evening as you like. I can be
reached anytime at (614) 893-3857. I will take calls 24/7 up until the
end of the auction. |

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Help make Lego Icon Bronco a reality [UPDATE]
Fri, Feb 13 2015The Lego Ideas process is a pretty neat concept. The website allows anyone to propose a future kit, and if the project gathers 10,000 supporters within a certain amount of time, then the company investigates building it. The creator even gets a cut of the sales. We saw the operation at work last year with a very cool looking Corvette kit that hasn't hit the next stage quite yet. Now, another creator going by the username Legohero1966 has a fantastic looking replica of the Icon 4X4 Bronco hoping for support. The maker nails the boxy, brawny look of the Icon take on the classic Ford Bronco, and the Lego kit even gets the color pretty close. The miniature SUV also features a visible suspension, a removable top and, according to the description, a reel for the winch is hidden in the bumper. Underneath the body, this model even does a pretty good job of replicating the powertrain. As is expected by these kits, the hood, doors and hatch all open; on this one the spare tire carrier even moves out of the way, too. As of this writing, the Icon Bronco kit only has a little over 400 supporters, and that's a long way from the goal. If you like what you see, give the proposal a closer look on Lego Ideas. UPDATE: The original creator of the Icon Bronco kit, Paul Kim, has advised Autoblog that this Lego Ideas proposal was created without his consent, and he has reported the problem there. You can view more pictures of the Bronco and more of Kim's work, here.

2015 Ford Edge First Drive [w/videos]
Thu, Mar 12 2015We're routinely told that it's not easy being the middle child. The oldest sibling will always outshine the rest, while the youngest is routinely doted upon. The middle child, meanwhile, is seemingly never able to measure up. You know the drill: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! But that hasn't really been the case for Ford's mid-kid crossover, the Edge. Sandwiched between its highly successful big brother, the Explorer, and the stylish younger brother, the Escape, the Edge has had plenty of its own bragging rights over the years. It's where the Blue Oval chose to first launch MyFord Touch in 2011, and was one of the company's first applications of an EcoBoost engine in a CUV. For 2015, Ford has given the Edge a brand-new outfit, complete with stand-out sheetmetal and a revamped 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and direct-injection. The result is a vehicle that truly stands out from its compact and fullsize siblings while promising to retain Ford's edge in the midsize CUV market. Where many of Ford's cars have opted for a slim, Aston Martin-like grille, the new Edge's face is big and bold. It's around back, however, where the Edge really comes up with its own personality. The slimmer D-pillar forms the edges of a more aggressively raked rear window. It's difficult to spot in pictures, but the result is a decidedly more assertive profile than the outgoing CUV. Beyond that, the rear is home to Fusion-inspired taillights, although unlike Ford's popular midsize sedan, they're joined together by a vehicle-spanning lighting element that prominently features a Ford badge at its center. Ford's work on the Edge's interior is less progressive, though. The owner of a 2014 model wouldn't feel the least bit out of place climbing behind the wheel of a 2015, as it features Ford's same reconfigurable instrument cluster, and a center stack that's been crowned by the latest (and final) edition of MyFord Touch. Meanwhile, more JD Power Initial Quality Study-friendly buttons have replaced the obstinate and unintuitive touch-capacitive controls. The conservative take on the interior design belies the big improvements in material quality. The leather inserts in the doors are more heavily padded and the plastics are far softer. It's a similar story throughout the cabin, where owners will notice softer dash plastics and generally richer materials.
