Window Sticker From P71 VIN 2FAHP71V48X127242

This P71 had some sort of damage to the fender and door at the transport facility when built...I have never been able to detect it. Here the workorder from that repair:

At that point it was immediately sold to a Deputy Sheriff in Florida, who took real good care of it for 2400 miles, and then got buyers remorse. He listed it for sale and it was sold to a Sheriff's Lieutenant in California. That Lt. used it as a take home car until 3 months ago when it was upgraded to a Police Utility.

The car was meticulously maintained. It does have many antenna holes in trunk lid but none on roof. No spotlights as was delivered from factory. It had a minor rear end collision which was cosmetic to the rear bumper cover - this was replaced (See Maint Log) At 85000 Miles it had a cracked intake manifold near raditor inlet (common issue) replaced intake manifold. Also had the power steering pump replaced and the idler pulley.

At 106000 miles had all wheels, centercaps and tires replaced. Plenty of tread left.

This car WAS NOT IN PATROL USE. Mostly highway travel to state capital and back. GARAGED MOST ALWAYS. I challenge you to find a p71 with only 525 idle hours! Most P71s will have 4000-6000 hours of idle time.

It has minor dings and scratches and there some rippling from a dent repair on the drivers quarter which is only noticable on close inspection... (collision with.......wait for it.....skateboarder)

Rubber mats, excellent rear seat. Drivers seat creaks a bit, Does NOT have new car smell...No prisoners ever inside, no smoking, Strong motor, excellent transmission, air blows ice cold. Full tank of gas and fresh oil. Full size spare with 3900 miles on it total.

What it needs: It would benefit from new shocks, perhaps a rear end service but other than that nothing.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.

Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
