2003 Ford Crown Victoria Lx Sport Mercury Marauder Rare, Babied, Exceptional on 2040-cars
Millstone Township, New Jersey, United States

Ultra rare 2003 Ford Crown Vic LX Sport in spectacular condition. I purchased from the original owner in May 2011. It's been my daily driver ever since. Had 90k miles then and 133k now. I am a parts manager at a Ford dealer and a Ford car enthusiast. I was looking for a Mercury Marauder and decided this would be a more practical purchase. It's basically everything the Marauder is minus the DOHC Cobra motor. The Cobra motor makes more horsepower and implodes at around 100k miles and good luck finding somebody capable of rebuilding it when it does. The SOHC version in the VIC usually goes to about 350k miles before a rebuild would even be considered. This thing isn't even broken in yet! I have babied and spoiled this car since I got it. I love it and will be sad to see her go. For those that don't know the Sport comes with rare bucket seats, a floor shifter, sport suspension, bigger tires on 5 spoke alloy wheels. I have invested thousands into this car personalizing it and making it better at what it already does well. Specifically the handling. It was good before. It's ridiculous now. Bigger Metco sway bars front and rear. Metco Watts Link suspension. KYB gas adjust shocks all around. New Ford coil springs in front. The highest rated all season tires high performance tires currently available. Continental Extreme Contact DWS 245/50ZR17 with less then 10k miles on them. Look at the pics! Lots of brand new parts throughout. Most of which were not 'needed'. I get great deals on parts and just can't help myself. Brand new factory wheels and caps. The originals had some scuffs and discoloration. Brand new headlamps. Originals were a bit faded/yellowed. Brand new (NOS actually...been obsolete for years) Marauder taillamps. They just look better then the orange and red oem ones. Console lid. OEM trunk organizer...still in the box. New OEM floor mats...still in the box. Megs exhaust tips. Megs was the original supplier for the Marauder tips. These were custom made for me. Pioneer DVD/SIRIUS/XM/Bluetooth (hands free phone calls) audio system and Pioneer speakers. Sounds and looks fantastic. Plays DVD videos even when your driving. Not recommended! Stereo is upgradeable if you want to add navigation, rear camera, etc. down the road. Synthetic oil since birth. Original owner started it. I carried on the tradition. I'm sure I'm leaving out a bunch. This car drives even better then it looks. It's ultra comfortable. Handles like a mustang. And it's just gorgeous. As I recall the car was involved in a minor 'accident' a month or two before I purchased it. The extent of the damage was a transfer of paint on the rear bumper cover that I was able to buff out in about 6 minutes. Other then that it's been smooth sailing.They just don't make them like this anymore. BRING BACK THE VICS!!!!! If I remember more things I'll update the ad. This car needs nothing and is ready for a new home.

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
