2008 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor (CVPI). One owner, clear title, extensive maintenance records, with only 92,888 miles. Includes heavy duty flooring, severe-duty shock absobers, higher-rate coil springs, and rear anti-roll stabilizer bars, heavier suspension, and it is outfitted with all silicone hoses and premium aircraft clamps. These vehicles generally run hundreds of thousands of miles as taxicabs and law enforcement vehicles, and are not sold by Ford to the general public. Includes manual and comprehensive parts and labor service journal detailing parts and labor on 114 pages of work orders totalling $56,645 spent on fleet maintenance over the life of this vehicle so far. Additionally, the hood, roof, and trunk were repainted and the instrument cluster was replaced at Ford's expense in 2011.

The CVPI rear-wheel drive, V8 power, and reinforced frame, body mounts, and body-on-frame construction are useful for law enforcement and taxi use because repairs are easier and less expensive after collisions, the design facilitates aggressive, safer PIT maneuvers and high-speed chase techniques, and the rims, chassis, and suspension are designed to withstand curb impacts of up to 40 mph. CVPIs are in demand by taxi companies because they want a safe car with a heavy-duty rear bench to comfortably seat three adults.

CVPI enthusiasts appreciate the heavy duty transmission, 187 kW (254 PS; 251 hp) 4.6L V8 engine with 9.6:1 compression (higher than stock), 3.27:1 rear axle, high rpm / high load external oil-to-engine oil cooler designed for higher-load, faster driving for extended periods, T-409 stainless steel dual exhaust without resonators, high rate coil springs, a more powerful 78 A h battery, and a larger 200 A alternator. The cluster sports a 140 mph analog speedometer, digital odometer with hour and trip meters, and compatability with other civilian features.

This unit is NOT equipped with Kevlar-lined front doors, so these are not recommended as protective barriers during gunfights. However, the rear doors open normally from the inside, so suspects or your children may be able to escape the back seating area, as in a typical automobile.. Gunplay, citizen arrests, kidnapping, etc. are not advised.

Flex-fuel cars like the P71 support American farmers here in the midwest where we grow crops used to produce E-85 and biofuels. Around here, E-85 costs about 80-85 cents per gallon less than regular unleaded. I usually also add a few ounces of generic fuel injector cleaner per tankful to increase mpg and boost performance.

Please be advised that the only infallible way to identify a CVPI P71 is to note the inclusion of the code "P71" in the VIN,. When you find one, it's all about functionality, reliability, and industrial strength power. It just works, and it's cheaper and easier to fix than anything else if it stops working. It's a basic, heavy-duty drivetrain, high-performance braking, tight, durable suspension, includes a rugged, kid-proof interior, and is well-documented, in case you want to Google something to fix it yourself.

Please feel free to email or call me at 217/390-8500 with any questions or concerns. Test drives and inspections are welcome and encouraged.

There appears to be an error in the AutoCheck report, which reflects an accident reported in Irving, Texas, although I have confirmed that the car has never been driven to Texas or involved in an accident there. Will attempt to contact the reporting authorities to correct this mistake.

Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.

Bill Ford wins National Pond Hockey Championship with employees

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.
