White Low-mileage Police Interceptor on 2040-cars
Cedar Park, Texas, United States
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. |

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
2016 Ford Explorer configurator reveals $30,700* base price, Platinum starts at $52,600*
Wed, Nov 26 2014The a la carte menu for the 2016 Ford Explorer is ready for your... umm... exploring. The first page of the refreshed model's configurator reveals the lineup, including the new Platinum trim, and price increases for three of the carryover models. The base Explorer doesn't change by one red cent: it can still be had for $30,700. The XLT needs $33,400 (a $400 price bump), the Limited goes for $41,300 (a not insignificant $2,900 price increase), and the Sport requires $43,300 (a $200 increase). That new Platinum model goes where no Explorer MSRP has gone before, beginning at $52,600 (*all prices are subject to an $895 destination charge). However, since Ford has put almost everything in it, you can't jack the price up too much further unless you lose your mind in the accessories catalog. You can quickly head that way lower down the order, though. The Limited's price jump appears to be due to the voice-activated navigation system, which comes standard; it was formerly part of a $2,600 option package. The Limited goes up by just $995 when specced with the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost, which raises the power over the 2.0-liter EcoBoost it replaces to 270 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, but doesn't incur any fuel economy penalty. All-wheel drive tacks on another $2,000, safety features like active park assist and lane departure warning come as part of $3,000 Equipment Group A, and you'll still have another three pages of options to get through. On the other hand, if you just want to get your family bundle into an Explorer without spending a bundle, the base model doesn't offer any packages and only has one option over $200. Let the research begin.
Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins
Sat, Jan 18 2014Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.
