Up for sale is my 2003 CVPI
Crown Victoria Police Interceptor

Prior Wisconsin State Police Highway Patrol Unit

I purchased it 4 years ago and replaced many significant parts and used it as a daily driver until this Winter.
The rear differential will need to be rebuilt or replaced. The vehicle does currently drive and it is the only known issue from being a reliable daily driver again, however the repair is mandatory.

I've had the car parked since the middle of Winter with the intention of repairing the rear differential but I haven't had the time. Now I have 4 vehicles and only a 2 bay garage, so the wife says one of them has to go. I will miss it very much, as it has been very reliable, inexpensive and comfortable and fun to drive. 

The car demands respect on the road. Other drivers are always very courteous, nobody tailgates or cuts you off, it really makes for a stress-free driving experience whether it be a long trip on the highway or just to the grocery store. 

These are some of the repairs made, the majority of the repairs were within the last few years and only with factory Motorcraft or quality aftermarket parts like Moog 

  • Transmission replaced at 115k miles with an extremely low mileage transmission
  • Intake manifold replaced at 145k miles
  • Motorcraft power-steering rack&pinion assembly replaced at 160k miles
  • Steering shaft replaced at 160k miles
  • Tie rod ends replaced at 160k miles
  • Sway bar end links replaced at 150k miles
  • Front wheel hubs replaced at 150k miles
  • Gabriel rear shocks replaced at 155k miles (New Gabriel front shocks go with the car when sold)
  • Bosch 200a Alternator at 140k miles
  • Front end alignment done 3-4 times a year
Currently installed in the back seat is a Havis K-9 cage (MSRP $1500 new) 
The car also comes with the factory seat and door panels. 

My dog loves his area in the back of the car, and it proved to be very convenient.  The cage also provides a flat floor making it very roomy for transporting larger objects.
The factory back seat, door panels and everything needed to go back to a factory is included.

Currently mounted on the rims are General Altimax Arctic winter tires, they have been used for 2.5 winters and a phenomenal to say the least. With the factory limited slip rear end the car was unstoppable in any snow we see in CT. 
Summer tires also go with the car. I have a set of OEM  police interceptor Eagle RSA's. 2 of them are brand new with less than 1000 miles, 1 is only about a year old and 1 is older and needs to be replaced soon.

The rear differential gears are 3.27:1, giving you excellent gas mileage for a V8 especially on the highway. On road trips I usually get 23mpg at 75mph, and around town about 18mpg.

The car is also equipped with a remote starter and alarm system. VERY convenient on really cold or really hot days. 

The only issues other than the rear end are minor and don't affect driveability:
  •  The HVAC  blend door seems to be partially stuck, but still directs air where you select as well as the forward facing vents.
  •  The AC compressor shutters when it hasn't been used in a while, and there is a small leak at one of the o-rings. I filled the R-134a refrigerant twice last year and once the year before that.
  • One of the exhaust pipe hangers broke leaving the pipe hanging, it's currently held up by wire.
Exterior blemishes are noticeable up close only and there are dings, scratches and dents. However when the car was driven daily I kept the exterior looking as best it could with polishing, buffing and waxing multiple times a year (as you can see from the pictures taken last summer it was very well taken care of). Currently the car hasn't been washed since the Winter and hasn't been polished up since before Winter.

The first 15 pictures were taken last summer when it was still a daily driver, the remaining pictures of the car in the asphalt driveway are current pictures of the car and where it's been for the last few months.

The car has a clear title in hand.

* The center console in the pictures and the aftermarket radio are not installed in the car nor included in the sale, the factory AM/FM head unit has been re-installed. Also the items in the trunk are not included.....neither is my dog!*

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.

What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.

Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).
