This is a former Department of Homeland Security supervisor's vehicle from Texas. I purchased it in September, 2013 with approximately 12,500 miles on it and it currently has 15,705 miles on it. I may add a few miles on it just to keep it running but it isn't a daily driver. The tires are Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and are in excellent condition with lots of tread left. There is a full size spare and jack which are both brand new. This is the supervisors package police interceptor with the upgraded radio (CD doesn't work but radio does), cruise control, hubcaps, and door side moulding on all 4 doors. The only things wrong with the car are the CD player and the tire pressure monitoring light is on. I checked the tire pressure and it is fine, my mechanic said it means the batteries are dead in the tire pressure monitoring system and there isn't any need to replace them until you change the tires. The motor oil is still good, the car has cold A/C and good heat, good headlights, good wiper blades, etc. there is nothing you need to do this car to get it road worthy. The interior is immaculate with no rips or tears like you would see in most police cars. Also no holes were drilled in it so you don't have ugly holes inside or outside. The Texas vehicle inspection and registration are still valid until 8/14 and 9/14 (respectively). As you know, the police interceptors have the heavy duty suspension and parts in it for extended service life.

Buyer agrees to pay for shipping at their expense from zip code 78613 (near Austin, Texas), or agrees to pick up locally. Also buyer agrees to pay for any registration or sales taxes payable to transfer registration over to their ownership. I have a clean Texas title in hand.

This is an extremely low mileage police interceptor (I put a Crown Victoria logo on it so as not to have "police" written on the car, but it is easily removed and changed) and this car is no longer made by Ford.

Test drives only for locals who have $10k cash in hand and a valid Drivers License. Otherwise inspection only by appointment. Car is located at my mechanic's business if you want to pay them for a PPI. PPI's are welcomed so long as the vehicle does not leave the property.

NOTE: AUTOCHECK indicates a possible odometer rollback. this is not the case. when the vehicle was originally sold from Homeland Security the clerk did not read the decimal in the odometer and thus overreported the mileage. thus, "11,503.3" became "115,033". this is a digital odometer, not sure how these things can be rolled back.

It has 1152 hours on the idle meter.

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.

Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output

Mon, Jan 6 2014

How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.
