1998 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor with just over 200,000 miles. This vehicle is extremely dependable and runs great, I would not hesitate to head across the country with it today. This Vic started life as a gasoline powered car but was converted from day one by the King County Police Department in King County Washington to run on both Compressed Natural Gas and Gasoline. The Car is equipped with a Technocarb system and it works FLAWLESSLY! I have owned this car for a little over 3 years, and the fuel savings have nearly payed for the car (Not even counting the amount of money it has saved me on traffic tickets). I use CNG for all my daily around town driving, and then at the flip of a rocker switch on the dash, I can switch to gasoline and i'm free to drive where ever I want. It currently has 2 tanks in the trunk that fill at 3600 PSI and have a capacity of just under 5 gallons. It has been extremely reliable and hasn't needed much mechanical work at all with the exception of two coil packs and a thermostat......about 20 minutes worth of work and less than $60 in 3 years of driving. This car has been great to me and the only reason I am selling it is because I bought a new car and it has been sitting in indoor climate controlled storage since. It currently has Firestone Winterforce tires on the back and it tracks unbelievably in the snow! This car did spend the majority of it's life on the west coast so it is extremely solid! The only flaws with the car is that it has an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold, the left turn signal is stuck on right now so I pulled the fuse (I will try to fix that before it sells as I have another 02 Crown Vic parts car), and the CNG tanks did expire at the beginning of the year. Like I mentioned, I have an 02 Dedicated CNG Crown Victoria that I can use for parts, so I will include (seperately) 2 CNG tanks that are good until 2017! They are slightly larger than the ones that are currently installed, so it will give the car a greater range. This car does have minor paint flaws as most original paint P71's do, however, with the twin spotlights and the push bar, nearly every cop waves to me even when I'm driving 15 mph over the speed limit, and I OWN THE LEFT LANE on the highway! Cars will duck into the right lane when i'm a mile behind them! It's the ultimate car for someone who wants to save time and money on their daily commute and still have the option of driving anywhere you want with gasoline. Gas prices are said to rise again soon, and this car will be paying itself off in no time. You can have the peace of mind knowing that you're not making terrorist rich while you are burning 100% AMERICAN FUEL and you are GREENER THAN A PRIUS while driving a full size, rear wheel drive, American V8....It doesn't get much better than that. Please call Mike anytime at 815-621-2027.

2015 Ford Mustang dealer order guide surfaces
Tue, 13 May 2014Details about the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang continue to leak out. In fact, at this point, it's more of a stream than a drip. Its option prices are already available, and now the full ordering guide is on the web for all of the trims thanks to the Mustang 6G forum. Ford is rapidly running out of secrets to keep about its new sports coupe.
The 21-page guide can be perused in the gallery below and contains all of the standard features, colors, options codes, descriptions. Generally everything you might want to know about the 'Stang is there, other than its price or power. It even shows off the available wheel designs.
The guide finally gives away the contents of the Performance Package for the EcoBoost and GT trims. The EcoBoost's package includes: A larger rear sway bar, new chassis tuning, larger brake rotors, 19-inch black wheels, retuned driver assistance systems, an aluminum dash panel, added gauge pack, 3.55 limited slip rear differential, larger radiator, heavy-duty front springs and spoiler delete. When the options pricing leaked, it indicated the package would cost $1,995. If that is the case, it seems like quite a deal.
Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit
Tue, 30 Jul 2013If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
