This is a formerly fully marked Northern California Police Package (P71) Ford Crown Victoria.  Anyone that knows anything about police package vehicles knows that from the ground up these are built better than just about anything ever put on the road. From the suspension, to the wheels, to brakes, rear end, transmission, seats, flooring, electrical system, cooling system, to the hoses themselves - there is nothing ordinary about a police package vehicle. Besides what other vehicle can reach approximately 500,000+ miles if taken care of? 

This particular vehicle is in amazing condition with very excellent and responsive steering, suspension, transmission and engine performance.  It runs, drives, idles, handles, accelerates, and shifts superbly.  The rear seat is BRAND NEW and never even been sat in ever and the original rubber floor is even in great condition with no tears at all.   The town that sold this vehicle is an upscale community of high level residents and very low crime.  The fleet vehicles that are used by this town are well taken care of and sold in great condition. This town even puts stickers on the dash that read 'No Overdrive in Town' to properly take care of the OD transmissions in their cars. They don't even allow door dings to remain on their fleet.  The body and undercarriage are in great condition. The lumbar support button on the driver's seat works well.  What caught my eye is even the wheels, headlights and even engine look  'like new'. The tires and brakes are good. I changed fluids and put in a brand new mass air flow sensor and new high output battery if the buyer wishes or needs to hook up emergency equipment. The white paint is the only thing slightly worn on top from being a 2006 marked black and white unit. Strangely enough the paint still 'beads' as if it was waxed! The cage and emergency equipment have been removed.  The AC only needs charged as no leaks were found.  Both spotlights still attached work well. There is no radio of any kind or rear seat belts, as there was a plastic rear seat removed- why there is now a spare brand new rear seat installed. Any additional items such as these can easily be pulled from any wrecking yard as many of these cars are available for such parts in any town.  I just did not get the chance with a heavy work schedule and too many vehicles.

 I can emphatically state this a VERY good to excellent condition vehicle with first-hand personal knowledge.  I am what you can call an 'expert' in this realm of cars , as I have driven police vehicles from when they were brand new  'on the job' to several individual models over 30 years old and over 300K miles on the clock.   I personally started driving new police vehicles on the job with the first Chevrolet Caprice car - the 1986 model up until very recent Ford model years.  I am personally an enthusiast who buys, restores, and collects older police vehicles. I have a massive collection that started with a 1981 year model.   I always buy very good condition vehicles and do not sell very often.  I happen to have far too many vehicles in my current collection and must start selling as I am running out of storage room.   Being a Chevrolet and 9C1 fan first means I must sell some of my Fords, (even if they are much newer and tighter). Besides, after 1996 year model- the Ford Crown Vic held the Police Car Crown. Ford finally made the Crown Vic a really good car the last 8 or so years of its run.  After driving probably hundreds of police cars for many,many years, I have yet to drive a Crown Vic that wasn't brand new that runs as nice and as tight as this 101K mile car.   Additional pictures available upon request as I could only upload so many here.  There was once a time when Police Package Monacos, Furys, Impalas and Caprices were everywhere....Get a piece of history before these P71s are all abused, destroyed, crushed and gone.

Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..
