-2002 Ford Crown Victoria P71-

Up for auction is my 2002 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.  It is white with blue interior, and features the original police rims with beauty rings.  This car is in very good cosmetic condition.  The exterior has a nice shine to the finish, and only shows a few light scratches and one tiny rust spot on the passenger's side front wheel well.  There is also a larger scratch along the bottom of the passenger's side doors, where the car scraped a rock.  This, however, is not terribly conspicuous and has been touched up a little (see photo).  This car is equipped with many extras which are listed below.

Regarding the pros and cons, this car will need some engine work.  There is a misfire on cylinder 3 which is causing the check engine light to come on and the car runs somewhat rough.  I was told that it needed a new intake manifold, but when I had that done, the misfire came back a few weeks later.  Also, the shifter/gear selector knob is a little loose and I was told it needs repair.  Otherwise, this vehicle is mechanically sound and could make an excellent daily driver once the misfire is taken care of.  The brakes were replaced less than 15K miles ago, it had a full tune-up a year ago, and the rear differential was rebuilt recently.  Also, this car has had regular oil changes every 3000 miles or so, and I have lots of service records to go with it.  I bought the car from the original owner - the Centre Island Police Department in Nassau County, NY.  They did a lot of regular and preventative maintenance on this vehicle.  Tires will need to be replaced in about 5-10K miles, and the full-sized spare is brand new.  Below is a list of some after-market features with this vehicle:

  • Dual Spotlights (driver's side is operable)
  • Interior Dome Light
  • Headlight Flasher (disconnected)
  • Maglite mounted on glove box
  • Havis-Shield console with after-market switch panel (disconnected)
  • CB Radio with Antennas, Microphone, and PA Speaker (disconnected)
  • (6) AMBER Strobes of High Quality - Mirror, Grille, Rear Deck (all disconnected)
  • After-market Pioneer Radio with CD Player and USB port for iPod - makes the sound system sound ten times better!
  • Rear windshield is heavily tinted

Please view all the photos and feel free to ask any questions.  No shipping unless it is solely arranged by the buyer.  Deposit of $150 required within 48 hours of auction close, and cash balance due within 7 days of deposit.

Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.

2014 Ford Mustang GT

Fri, 17 May 2013

I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
