Not Your Grandma's 2002 Crown Victoria! on 2040-cars
Duluth, Minnesota, United States
|
This is not your grandma's Crown Victoria because it was MY Grandma's Crown Victoria! It started it's life in Tomball, TX just north of Houston and only drove 15,000 miles in it's first 10 years. When Grandma passed away, it was left to me and I immediately got new tires, battery, fuel filter, belt, and hoses installed. Car now has 34,400 miles on the odometer (it does get driven occasionally, so mileage will increase slightly) and is in perfect shape. Fuel pump and filter replaced in Feb 2014 due to it sitting so much early in it's life, head unit replaced with a Pioneer Bluetooth unit along with Kenwood 3 way speakers in stock locations.
Interior is excellent, no cracks or rips in seats, power seats work, lumbar works, AC works, heat is great (new thermostat summer 2013), and regular oil changes with Mobil 1 synthetic and Motorcraft 820S Filter. Tires have at least 80% wear left, as do the snow tires which are included in sale. I have only put 19,000 miles on the car over the past 3 years, which is approximately 6000 miles a year. It gets used very rarely in the snow, and is washed weekly in the winter to prevent rust. The snow tires are excellent, and the car has never been stuck in the snow, even after the insane winter we had this past year. I would use it instead of my work van due to it's much better traction in the snow. This car is reliable, easy to drive, and would make an excellent car for a new driver or someone who likes a great, comfortable car for the highway. Gets good highway mileage on regular gas (approx 26mpg) and easily seats 6. |

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
Ford unveils Mustang 50th anniversary logo, plans merchandise
Tue, 26 Mar 2013The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise. The graphic is the result of an internal design competition, and Ford will give 50 different companies the license to use it on traditional logo merchandise like shirts and watches, along with some untraditional items like pinball machines.
Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.
Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.
