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.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:

First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."

2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
