I'm offering this Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with no reserve. The car is in the Pittsburgh area.
If you like driving in the left lane and having everyone move out of your way, then this is the car for you!
I've owned it over a year and a half and have driven it daily, including two cross country trips.
The car was originally owned by The Putnamville Correctional Institute and I have ALL the maintenance records.
It has an engine that purrs and the intake manifold was replaced just 5,000 miles before I bought it. If you're familiar with the 4.6 you know the intake is the weak link on this engine. It will fail. The replacement is of a new design which utilizes aluminum where the original was plastic.
This CVPI is equipped with cruise control which is rare to see in a cop car. Holds steady at whichever speed you set it.
You may think the car has high miles, but I've been in a dozen cabs that had 300,000+ miles, all with the original engine! And for a car of this age, that's just over 13,000 miles a year.
I get 20 MPG cruising at 80MPH. The A/C is currently not working because of a leak in the line. All other A/C components are present and operational. There is a little rust around the drivers fender and a minor amount at the bottom of the back door. The paint was peeling on the hood so I just gave it a coat of gloss gray paint.
The ABS light is on and the code reader says it's the Left Rear Wheel Sensor Input Circuit Failure (Code 1175). It still passes Texas inspection and the brakes function normally so I have never investigated it further. The service dept. at the Ford dealer said it may just be a connection, but worse case scenario would be about $100 for a new sensor and 1 hour labor at $90.
I just replaced all 4 tires from WalMart and also purchased lifetime balance and road hazard protection. The car starts every time and has NEVER failed me. All I've done is change the oil (Mobil 1) and replaced the belt, not because it broke, but just for insurance. The car pulls SLIGHTLY to the right, but it has never bothered me. I just want to mention all I know.
I now have 800 feedback, all positive, and have been on ebay 11 years. I would not sell a car that I wouldn't personally drive cross country. And I just did! Sunday I was in Houston and as I type this, I'm in my hotel room in Elizabethtown Kentucky. I'm stopping later in Wheeling West Virginia and will be in Pittsburgh Wednesday. The car will be in the Sewickley part of town if you want to come look at it.
The only reason I'm selling it is because I already have my Buick in PA and my garage only holds one car. :)
I'll post more detailed photos on Thursday after I wash it.
This would make someone a safe first car or if you need transportation for 5 people.
I know I will miss it, but I just have one car too many. Email or call with questions. 817-368-9477
Thanks for looking and good luck!

I also want to add the car has a good spare tire and includes the police trunk organizer with Kevlar panel. The intake manifold and spark plugs were replaced at 196K miles.

I'm also throwing in a good, used alternator and an aftermarket plastic center console. Not the greatest, but functional.

I also want to mention one of the chrome beauty rings on the wheels is missing. They originally did not come on this car. They were from my Suburban.

Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle

Fri, Dec 18 2015

Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
