Hi there!
The car originally came from an Arkansas national park. Carfax proves this statement in case you doubt it. I noticed it does burn oil at a slow rate. I check the oil weekly and over about a four month period it will lose somewhere around a quarter of a quart. It is dependent on how I park as well when I check it of course. I have changed the oil in it twice and both times I have used Lucas oil treatment. I believe it to be the best for all vehicles. The only problem mechanically is the transmission tends to dive into its high gear early which makes it hiccup until you give it some gas. It happens specifically when I go down a hill and then up a hill immediately after. Research has shown crown vics often do this to save gas by cruising in OD as much as possible. Overall, it is rare situation and I only mention it to be as descriptive as possible. The vehicle drives great.
I changed the brakes just before the cold weather came last year (late in the year). They are still in good condition. I also changed a few parts on the front end simply because I had the money to blow. At that time I examined the springs struts and shocks and did not replace them as I believed they are in very good shape. Perhaps, the biggest bonus of the auction is I am going to throw in two brand new tires for the vehicle. I bought them this year and intended to put them on the front end but did not do it. The back tires are in decent shape but in no where perfect. I believe the front could make it through the summer but I wouldn't brave the winter. I also want to mention the exhaust is a bit loose on the bottom of the vehicle allowing it to create a mild rattling noise. I hope to capture this in the video to show its full extent. It is not horrible by any means.
The bare rims shown in the pics is not how you will receive the vehicle. I just realized I didn't take the pics with the new hubcaps on them. I bought some to spruce it up a bit and they will be sold on the vehicle. Check back for updated pics.

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.
Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction
Mon, 29 Jul 2013The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
