Manlius, New York, United States

Up for you’re consideration is a dark gray 2008 Ford Police Interceptor.  This is not your typical high mileage / high idle hour beat up ex-police cruiser so please read the description in its entirety.  This vehicle was purchased NEW by me in early 2008 from a Sheriff’s Deputy in MA and is highly optioned.  He had ordered the vehicle along with several others for a private security firm that he runs on the side.  After purchasing the vehicle, his firm decided to go with SUV’s.  Subsequently, this Crown Vic and several others like it were released for sale to the public.  That is how I came about purchasing this vehicle which at the time only had 1,100 miles and fewer than 5 idle hours (ONLY HAS 300 idle hours NOW - THREE HUNDRED).  I still have the original eBay listing for this vehicle, bill of sale, copy of the MA title, and original window sticker with a breakdown of all the extra options (cruise, carpet, CD player, etc).  I also have a list of service records dating back to when the car had its first transmission service done at 20K miles.  This vehicle is ALL ORIGINAL.  I stacked the mileage on pretty quickly because I commute a long distance to three different jobs utilizing the NYS thruway (40+ miles one way to each job).  Most all of the mileage on this car was done on the highway; very little stop and go driving and very little idle time.  I have maintained a very strict service schedule with this vehicle since I have owned it using only AMSOIL full synthetic fluids in the engine, transmission, power steering, and rear differential.  The engine oil is changed every 5K-10K and the transmission receives a full service every 20K (flush w/ AMSOIL ATF and WIX filter). 

 

Now for the good stuff - Not only is this car in mint condition for a 6 year old vehicle, but it is also moded with the following:  Stainless Works long tube headers w/ catted lead pipes hooked up to the factory exhaust system, new OEM ported upper intake plenum, MSD ignition coils, new NKG iridium spark plugs, steeda under drive pulleys, EMP performance water pump, Ford 180* thermostat, B&M deep ATF pan with drain plug (holds 3 extra quarts of ATF) new Goodyear gatorback serpentine belt, and DiabloSport tuner ($2,700 in mods).  The tuner is included with the sale along with all of the factory items that were replaced with the above performance items (factory catalytic converters not included, only the factory headers).  This car has NEVER been abused or beaten on.  I was not planning on selling this car which is why I sank so much money into it.  My end goal was to make it similar in performance to a Mercury Marauder.  The mods have only been in the car for about a thousand miles and let me tell yah, she hauls arse and gets 20+ MPG doing it!  Also included in this sale are 3 additional sets of rims, 1 set are re-conditioned factory LX sport rims with Goodyear Assurance touring tires (60% tread), the other set are the original steel police rims that came with the car (I also have the OEM wheel covers).  I replaced the original steel rims with after market steel rims because they got rusty from having the wheel covers on them.  I now have the new rims on the car with General Arctic winter tires (60-70% tread).  The wheel sensors are attached to the LX sport rims so the tire pressure light is currently on.  The brake pads and rotors are NEW.  The rotors are from Brake Performance and are slotted (lifetime warranty against warping & defects).  The fuel filter is new.  I just performed the following maintenance: Fresh Amsoil synthetic fluid in the engine with Amsoil filter, fresh Amsoil ATF fluid, coolant system flush at the Ford dealer, new Odyssey Extreme battery ($300.00 battery).  THIS CAR NEEDS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  The interior is absolutely mint with no stains, odors, tears / rips, or holes from removal of police equipment.  The back seats were sat in less than a dozen times.  The carpet is like new as are the factory floor mats.  The exterior is in immaculate condition and was just recently “touched up” by a professional (Brush guard along bottom of doors and around wheel wells, new front and rear bumper, new front windshield).  The undercarriage is very clean with minimal surface rust and no damage of any kind.  I always make a point in the winter to have the undercarriage washed at least once a week. 

 

NADA private party retail price for a base model Police Interceptor of exact mileage and model year is $7,100.  Being as this is NOT a base model interceptor and comes with 2 sets of tires, 3 sets of rims, and more, I have set the opening bid at 7K.  The price is not negotiable!  I am selling this vehicle because I have just purchased a 2013 Ford Police Interceptor Utility as it better suites my needs.  If you want a like new police package Crown Vic that is in mint condition, highly optioned, and never in police service, this may be one of you’re last opportunities as Ford is no longer producing these vehicles.  Don’t let the mileage scare you, this vehicle is not even half way through its life span yet.  I have seen and driven abused patrol cars and former taxis with over 200K miles on them; original engines and transmissions, with thousands of idle hours that are still going strong.  This car is LIKE NEW.  Fly in and drive across country.

 

If you have a question regarding something that has NOT been mentioned above, please don’t hesitate to ask.  Buyer is responsible for shipping of vehicle if unable to drive home.  A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close.  Full payment is due within 7 days of auction close.  If you are fairly close and would like to set up a time to inspect the vehicle or take it for a test drive, let me know and arrangements will be made.  Mileage will be slightly higher at time of sale as I drive this car from time to time so it’s not sitting.  Vehicle is also for sale locally.  I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  If you have negative feedback or no feedback you must contact me before placing a bid.  Remember, you’re bid is a contract and this is a bid-to-own auction.  Non-paying bidders will be dealt with accordingly.  I have 100% feedback for a reason. This car was described accurately! Bid with confidence!

As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?

Mon, Feb 9 2015

North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.

What car should James Robertson buy to drive his famous 21-mile commute?

Thu, Feb 5 2015

The Internet has been abuzz this week with the story of Detroit resident James Robertson, the 56-year-old factory worker who has walked some 21 miles to work for the last 10 years. The Detroit Free Press brought Robertson's story to the fore, helping an online fundraising campaign to generate more than $275,000 (as of this writing). The original goal was just $5,000, or about enough to replace the used Honda that died on Robertson back in 2005, and left him walking. So, newly flush with funds, what's the perfect car for Robertson to buy? Let's look at the specifics of his situation, and try to pick out the best options. Here's what we know: Robertson's commute is (famously) 21 miles; he lives in downtown Detroit (for now) and seems pretty humble, so something very flashy is probably out; former Honda aside, his ties to the city (and statements about being a Ford fan) seem to indicate a Detroit Three company product is best; he's a single guy with a girlfriend; he's got to deal with Michigan weather, and the sometimes fickle snow removal processes in The D. Here are some choices: Ford F-150 Robertson is on record as being a Taurus fan, and after a decade of walking I've no doubt that the big sedan would offer a cozy respite. Still, as a car guy and a student of the industry, I'd have a hard time recommending a sedan so clearly in need of replacement. Especially when The Blue Oval has such great stuff within the rest of its roster. The 2015 F-150 seems almost perfect for Robertson. Opting for either of the new EcoBoost V6 engines should help keep fuel bills in reasonable check, while healthy ride height and four-wheel drive will get him to work on time even during the snowiest of snow days. Better still, with a fat options sheet and car-like ride quality, Robertson can have just about every amenity he might want, in a package that won't disrespect his blue-collar roots. Chevrolet Colorado You guys saw this one coming, right? The smaller footprint of the midsize Chevy pickup, relative to some of the other options here, should be an advantage for urban parking and driving. And again, 4x4 is an option for the nasty weather, the running costs should stay pretty low and there aren't many tech/luxury features that can't be had in-cabin. I'd go ahead and splash out on the Crew Cab bodystyle, too, just in case Robertson feels like starting a carpool.

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history

Sat, 03 May 2014

You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
