I bought this car directly from a rural (Minnesota) sheriff department just over a year ago.


It is in great shape, and I have used it daily since I bought and drove back across country to California.

It has recently gotten a complete mechanical going over, including replacing the Alternator and Battery, New serpentine belt. Replaced several of the individual coils (coil on plug system) and just completed a full tune up with new plugs, all new filters (air and oil) as well as changing the oil. 

Tires are in great shape, they are police style, plenty of life left on them (see photo's). Brakes are good, replaced a few months ago.

This vehicle passed the California SMOG test with extremely clean readings. It has been well maintained its entire life, and I have taken great care of it during my tenure :)

I will mention there are no rips or tears on the upholstery, but there are a few coffee stains etc. On the outside, there is a police spotlight on the driver side that is non functioning at this time.

The body is in pretty good shape, negatives are holes in the front bumper where the push-bar used to be, some plugs where the police equipment used to be mounted on the roof, but never a leak and there is one of the small police hubcaps missing. 

This is a car that is a pleasure to drive, it also garnishes a bit more respect rolling down the road than your typical automobile. People tend to just move out of your way when you are cruising down the highway.... cant imagine why :)

I must say that this is a 12 year old former police car, as such it is not in show room condition, it is however well taken care of, but there are defects, and will be sold "As is, Where is".

This is not your standard Black and White unit, this one came loaded from the factory, Cruise control, and carpets came as standard.  This is a nice cruiser! I am only selling it as I just bought a new car the other day, and do not need to be paying insurance on 2 cars.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
