2005 Ford Crown Victoria Unmarked Police Interceptor, Mint, Low Miles, Gorgeous! on 2040-cars
Canal Winchester, Ohio, United States
This is one of the nicest examples of it's
kind available anywhere. This is a gorgeous, always unmarked United
States Federal Government unit that came out of service with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation in California in the fall of 2011 (at that time, it had only 18,000 miles on it). It now has only 31,379 miles. It was purchased by a meticulous enthusiast, and law-enforcement officer, here in Ohio and driven only in perfect conditions. It has never seen a winter, nor any salt or snow, and is absolutely rust and corrosion-free. It has been garage kept and is as close to new as you will find. It is finished in Silver Birch Clearcoat
Metallic, one of the most beautiful and rare colors available on the
Crown Victoria. If you are searching for the ultimate Crown Victoria
Police Interceptor, here you go...
You are viewing an absolutely beautiful, very low-mileage, always unmarked, loaded 2005 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with the coveted "Street Appearance Package". Recently out of service from United States Federal Government, Federal Bureau of Investigation in California, where it was assigned to one agent for it's entire life, with only 31,379 actual, documented miles on it. This is a beautiful example of a very rare, hard to find car in a very rare and very desirable color. The finish is absolutely beautiful and this vehicle has an
absolutely spotless Carfax report. It has never been involved in any
accidents. This unit has never been in regular police service and has never had a lightbar or decals installed. This unit includes all of the options you would expect...traction control, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, factory auxiliary police dome lamp, power trunk release, factory AM/FM/CD stereo, cruise control, power split-bench velour cloth front and velour rear seating w/dual fold-down center armrests, full factory carpeting and a heavy-duty, 8.8" 3.27 ratio "Traction-Lok" limited-slip rear differential. These items, of course, are just the beginning of the list of equipment on this car. In my years of buying
and selling police vehicles, I have had very few cars that come close
to the condition of these units, they are extremely well maintained,
actually over-maintained, and typically need no repairs. This
was a one-driver car, assigned to one federal agent throughout the
entire life of the car. It was then sold to a meticulous, picky owner who BABIED this car over the past two and one-half years, putting only 13,000 miles on it in that time. For those of you who know, that makes all of the
difference in the world when it comes to how these cars are maintained
and treated. It has NEVER been smoked in, looks as close to new as you
will find and has virtually zero wear on the interior, even on the
seating. The rear seat appears to have never been used. All of the factory manuals are included with the vehicle, and are in place in the glove box. The trunk compartment is extremely clean, and the original full size spare tire is in place. This
unit is also equipped with, of course, the full "Police Interceptor"
package which includes the 4.6-liter H.O. engine, 4-speed overdrive
heavy-duty transmission, 3.27 rear "Traction-Lok" differential, lateral bow (roof) reinforcement, 245-50-18 ultra-high performance
radials that are in beautiful condition and mounted on a brand-new set of factory, 18 X 8 "Marauder" alloy wheels with correct-appearing "Ford" logos (instead of the Mercury logos), stainless-steel dual exhaust with factory crossover pipe,
police-only lightweight balanced aluminum driveshaft, special
police-spec heavy-duty frame, 4-wheel disc brakes, severe-duty
suspension, heavy-duty cooling, certified 140-mph speedometer and much, much more. For those of you who know Crown Victorias, you are probably already aware that the 2004-2011 models are the years to have...2004 was the first year for the higher-horsepower engine, and 2005 was the first year for the larger, heavy-duty 31-spline rear axles. All
Crown Victorias produced from 2004-onward utilized the new, improved,
250-horsepower 4.6 liter V8 engine and are the fastest Crown Victorias
produced due to many changes that were made, mainly in the intake
system. Previously, the Police Interceptor produced 239 horsepower, but
the 2004-newer Police Interceptor increased that number to 250
horsepower due to the addition of a new "Marauder" air intake setup.
This included a new airbox that resembles the Mercury Marauder airbox
(raised airbox lid, deeper bottom), with a new, larger, integrated 80 mm
(3.1 in) mass airflow (MAF) sensor that is part of the airbox lid. This
allows for much more precise flow calibration and reduces the chances
of air leakage. The P71 zip tube (the flexible rubber hose between the
throttle body and MAF outlet) is also used to reduce NVH (noise,
vibration, and harshness) as well as transfer air from the airbox to the
throttle body with minimal flow resistance. Crown
Victorias like this one are becoming nearly extinct, so here's your
opportunity if you've been looking for one of the nicest you will find
in a rare and desirable color combination with ultra-low mileage. These are the Crown Victorias aficionados lust after, and this is a GORGEOUS example. It is very responsive, smooth-shifting and, of course, very fast. This
unit is in absolutely excellent overall condition, has been very well-maintained
and has little to none of the normal wear and tear you would expect to find on a
used police vehicle. This vehicle, as most used vehicles do,
will have imperfections...this typically includes; scratches, chips,
nicks, dings, etc....that being said, this car has nothing of any consequence that I am aware of and no known mechanical
defects. It runs and drives excellent. Please, keep in mind, we
strive to find the nicest used vehicles possible, but they are still
used vehicles. This
2005 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor will sell to the high
bidder at the end of the auction, providing the low reserve is met.
Please complete all inspections BEFORE bidding...if you win the auction,
you own the vehicle. I
am a law-enforcement officer as well and as such, work long hours so
you are free to call me as late in the evening as you like. I can be
reached anytime at (614) 893-3857. I will take calls 24/7 up until the
end of the auction. |

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.
