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.

2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video
Wed, 30 Apr 2014For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.
Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
