'98 P71 Cvpi Staff Car, Never On Patrol! New Tires And Intake! In Pittsburgh Pa! on 2040-cars
Sewickley, Pennsylvania, United States
|
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!

The intake manifold and spark plugs were replaced at 196K miles. On Jun-12-14 at 13:58:40 PDT, seller added the following information: I'm also throwing in a good, used alternator and an aftermarket plastic center console. Not the greatest, but functional. On Jun-12-14 at 14:49:05 PDT, seller added the following information: 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. |

The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot
Sun, 05 Jan 2014A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]
Tue, 14 Jan 2014With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.
