Window Sticker From P71 VIN 2FAHP71V48X127242

This P71 had some sort of damage to the fender and door at the transport facility when built...I have never been able to detect it. Here the workorder from that repair:

At that point it was immediately sold to a Deputy Sheriff in Florida, who took real good care of it for 2400 miles, and then got buyers remorse. He listed it for sale and it was sold to a Sheriff's Lieutenant in California. That Lt. used it as a take home car until 3 months ago when it was upgraded to a Police Utility.

The car was meticulously maintained. It does have many antenna holes in trunk lid but none on roof. No spotlights as was delivered from factory. It had a minor rear end collision which was cosmetic to the rear bumper cover - this was replaced (See Maint Log) At 85000 Miles it had a cracked intake manifold near raditor inlet (common issue) replaced intake manifold. Also had the power steering pump replaced and the idler pulley.

At 106000 miles had all wheels, centercaps and tires replaced. Plenty of tread left.

This car WAS NOT IN PATROL USE. Mostly highway travel to state capital and back. GARAGED MOST ALWAYS. I challenge you to find a p71 with only 525 idle hours! Most P71s will have 4000-6000 hours of idle time.

It has minor dings and scratches and there some rippling from a dent repair on the drivers quarter which is only noticable on close inspection... (collision with.......wait for it.....skateboarder)

Rubber mats, excellent rear seat. Drivers seat creaks a bit, Does NOT have new car smell...No prisoners ever inside, no smoking, Strong motor, excellent transmission, air blows ice cold. Full tank of gas and fresh oil. Full size spare with 3900 miles on it total.

What it needs: It would benefit from new shocks, perhaps a rear end service but other than that nothing.

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks

Sun, 25 May 2014

Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.

Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune

Wed, Mar 19 2014

Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.

Ford Shelby GT350R sets 7:32.19 Nurburgring lap time

Mon, Jan 26 2015

It was over a year ago that the Chevy Camaro Z/28 clocked a Nurburgring lap time of 7 minutes and 37.47 seconds, propelling itself up the leader boards as the fastest American muscle car to lap the infamous Nordschleife. But now word has it that another piece of Detroit iron has clocked an even faster time. According to Evo, the new Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang has lapped the Green Hell in a blitzkrieg 7:32.19. That's more than five seconds faster than the Z/28, and propels the GT350R into proper supercar territory: incrementally quicker than the Ferrari 458 Italia and in league with lap times posted by the Nissan GT-R (though not the fastest Godzilla has clocked over the years). With output quoted at "more than 500 horsepower and more than 400 lb-ft of torque," and no 0-60, quarter-mile or top end figures revealed to date, this marks the first genuine measure of performance we've seen for the track-focused pony car - though the numbers have yet to be officially confirmed. The GT350R packs a 5.2-liter V8 unburdened by 130 pounds of excess weight – helped along by carbon-fiber wheels coated in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. Related Video:
