Up for sale is a beautiful 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (CVPI) P71 Package with a Clear Texas Title in-hand.  This is a highly reliable, powerful, and economical (28 mpg HWY) car.  It has never left me stranded, starts on the first try every time, and does not leak.  It drives straight and smooth, the AC blows cold, and it is regularly detailed (I'm an ex-detailer).  The transmission is strong and crisp (zero slips in any gear).  The VIN is 2FAFP71V48X142816

This CVPI is finished out in one of the rarest, yet most desirable color combos, Medium Gray Metallic over Black.  I waited for months for this combo before purchasing this particular one.  This P71 was retired from active duty by a Georgia Sheriff's Department less than 6,000 miles ago (January 2013).  During that tenure, it was municipality maintained; now, currently professionally maintained and cleaned regularly.  Being a southern car (first Georgia, now Texas), there is no rust on this vehicle.  This car passed inspection last month with flying colors.

For the wear items, I estimate there is 50% life left on the tires (OEM Goodyears) and 60% left on the brakes. 

There are no lights or police equipment in this vehicle. The spotlight and extra dome (ticket) light are legal.  The antennas are dummies and the other roof holes have been plugged with color-matched PVC plastic plugs.  

This P71 is loaded with every available option at the time, including:
  • Kevlar-Lined Front Doors
  • Adjustable Pedals (power)
  • Tilt Wheel
  • Traction Control (very rare)
  • AM/FM/CD Player
  • Door Moldings (most are missing the front door moldings)
  • Interior Carpet & Floor Mats (most have vinyl)
The recent upgrades and repairs are:
  • New GoRhino! Push Bar
  • New Dashboard (no holes!)
  • New Vinyl Backseat 
  • New Rear Door Panels
  • New Serpentine Belt & Tensioner
  • New Headlights & Turn Signals (from 2011 model)
  • Professionally Tinted Windows (15% front, 5% rear)
  • OEM Spare Tire (CVPI's don't come with spare tires)
  • Kicker 10" Subwoofer w/ MTX Amp
While this is a great example of a late-model P71, it is not perfect.  There are some areas that are worth noting.
  • New speedometer; last one died and needed replacement so the mileage reads incorrectly (reads 83,xxx versus actual of 113,xxx)
  • Needs 1 tire pressure and 1 ABS sensor (per pulling the codes)
  • Paint on rear 1/4 panel was repaired incorrectly (pictured); it isn't terrible, but it may bother some
  • There are some dings on the car, mainly from the light bar on the roof
  • Driver's seat has a tear from officer's pistol/holster; easily recovered or replaced
  • Very slight exhaust manifold leak when cold (very common in these cars); goes away after car is warm
Please review all of the pictures thoroughly and ask any questions you may have.  I tried to be as honest as I could with this description.  This car has served me well for the past 18 months.  Shortly after purchasing, I began working from home (hence the low mileage since purchasing) and no longer have a need for two vehicles.  It will be hard to part with-as the car is reliable, comfortable, and strong.  It provided free security for my home and neighbors, just from sitting in the driveway.  These cars go for 300k+ miles when used as taxis and I have no doubt that this will be one of those examples.

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.

V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.

Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
