2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
Dark Toreador Red Metallic 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with Charcoal interior.
It never was a marked unit! It never had a cage! Tinted windows. Recently out of service in North Carolina.
Individual Assigned Supervisor take-home vehicle.
108,372 documented miles and 2191 idle hours.
Clear Title, Maintenance Records, User Manuals, Window Sticker and CarFax in-hand.
CarFax shows 3 collisions. I have these minor damages documented through photos and repair records. One collision was only the front license plate bracket!
Interior/exterior holes for police equipment plugged.
This unit is nice inside and out and has been very well-maintained. Even over-maintained from the records. 39 oil changes!
It is very responsive and smooth-shifting.
This car has no known mechanical defects and it runs and drives excellent.
A/C is COLD. It has the correct Goodyear RSA Tires including spare. Front tires are 8/32 and rear tires are 7/32 of tread.
The rear door-open rods are installed and the locks and doors work.
I am the second owner and have enjoyed the car for 8 months.
As with any used vehicle, it does show wear, chips, dings etc.
Notable things I should mention. It has 3 dings the size of a BB. One on the left rear roof. One on the back of
the trunk lid beside the Ford emblem and one on the rear passenger door. There is some cracking to the paint
on the left rear bumper cover corner. These minor things are hard to capture in a photo. It had 3 antennas on the rear.
2 were on the trunk lid and 1 on the trunk inside channel. Those holes are plugged. The only thing that does not work,
is the ticket light. I did not see the factory wires in the headliner when I pulled the light down. Should be there.
The driver seat has 2 holes on the outside hinge area. 1 about dime size and the other about quarter size.
**Since the pictures, the antenna on the rear quarter-panel has been removed.
Here is what I have done to the car :
I put an aftermarket Chrome grille on it. I have the Factory black honeycomb if you would like that better.
I put a quality console in it.
Oil Changed.
Detailed wash/wax.
Removed old pin-stripe and installed new 3m pin-stripes.
Installed rear brake pads.
Rotate/balance tires.
I welcome any and all questions you might have.
120 additional photos available on request.
I encourage serious buyers to message me your contact (phone/email) info, and I will be happy to discuss this vehicle in detail.
It is rare to have a police vehicle with all records from the time it rolled off the trailer (new) to current.
Available for viewing/inspections. Currently not driven and housed in a climate controlled garage.
This car is for sale locally and therefore auction could end early.

Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
An amazing Group B rally car collection heads to auction
Tue, Jan 26 2021Kicking off in 1982, the Group B era spawned some of the most fearsome rally cars of all time. The technologically advanced pioneers of all-wheel drive and turbocharging defined a time when automakers had carte blanche to build machines with unrestricted power, without the burden of homologating a large number of road cars to qualify. The results were sometimes deadly, leading the FIA to ban the class after 1986. Now, a collection of seven Group B monsters is headed across the block in Paris as part of the Artcurial auction, held in partnership with France's famed Retromobile show. The show has been delayed to June, however. There's a 1985 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, one of 20 Evo II models that helped the company achieve two championships in Group B's short run. This particular example was driven by world champion Timo Salonen at the 1986 Swedish Rally, where it finished seventh due to an oil filter seal failure. Bruno Saby subsequently drove it at the 1986 Tour de Corse and Peugeot entered it at the 1986 Acropolis Rally as well. It's still registered to Peugeot Talbot Sport and represents a French technological achievement, according to Artcurial, comparable to the Concorde or TGV train. Representing Italy are a pair of Lancias in the iconic Martini livery. The Lancia 037 helped Bel Paese clinch its only Group B victory in 1983, after a hard-fought rivalry with Audi. It's one of the few Group B cars that weren't AWD, achieving its success the old-fashioned way, through lightness and superb handling. A second Lancia, a 1986 Delta S4, was the culmination of the Italian firm's later Group B efforts and one of Saby's favorites. While Group B was no more in 1987, the S4 was the predecessor to the Delta Integrale that would dominate WRC from 1987 through 1992. While the collection also includes greats like a Ford RS200, Renault 5 Maxi Turbo, and MG Metro 6R4, the centerpiece is the Audi Quattro Sport S1. The ultimate Group B machine, it introduced all-wheel-drive and turbocharging to the sport. It also employed the wildest use of wings and air dams to generate downforce. Tunable up to 590 horsepower, it could rocket to 60 mph in about three seconds. The car offered for sale came straight from Ingolstadt, a 1988 model built for the Race of Champions of ex-Group B cars. The collection was amassed in the late 80s and early 90s, not long after Group B's dissolution.
