2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
Dark Toreador Red Metallic 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with Charcoal interior.
It never was a marked unit! It never had a cage! Tinted windows. Recently out of service in North Carolina.
Individual Assigned Supervisor take-home vehicle.
108,372 documented miles and 2191 idle hours.
Clear Title, Maintenance Records, User Manuals, Window Sticker and CarFax in-hand.
CarFax shows 3 collisions. I have these minor damages documented through photos and repair records. One collision was only the front license plate bracket!
Interior/exterior holes for police equipment plugged.
This unit is nice inside and out and has been very well-maintained. Even over-maintained from the records. 39 oil changes!
It is very responsive and smooth-shifting.
This car has no known mechanical defects and it runs and drives excellent.
A/C is COLD. It has the correct Goodyear RSA Tires including spare. Front tires are 8/32 and rear tires are 7/32 of tread.
The rear door-open rods are installed and the locks and doors work.
I am the second owner and have enjoyed the car for 8 months.
As with any used vehicle, it does show wear, chips, dings etc.
Notable things I should mention. It has 3 dings the size of a BB. One on the left rear roof. One on the back of
the trunk lid beside the Ford emblem and one on the rear passenger door. There is some cracking to the paint
on the left rear bumper cover corner. These minor things are hard to capture in a photo. It had 3 antennas on the rear.
2 were on the trunk lid and 1 on the trunk inside channel. Those holes are plugged. The only thing that does not work,
is the ticket light. I did not see the factory wires in the headliner when I pulled the light down. Should be there.
The driver seat has 2 holes on the outside hinge area. 1 about dime size and the other about quarter size.
**Since the pictures, the antenna on the rear quarter-panel has been removed.
Here is what I have done to the car :
I put an aftermarket Chrome grille on it. I have the Factory black honeycomb if you would like that better.
I put a quality console in it.
Oil Changed.
Detailed wash/wax.
Removed old pin-stripe and installed new 3m pin-stripes.
Installed rear brake pads.
Rotate/balance tires.
I welcome any and all questions you might have.
120 additional photos available on request.
I encourage serious buyers to message me your contact (phone/email) info, and I will be happy to discuss this vehicle in detail.
It is rare to have a police vehicle with all records from the time it rolled off the trailer (new) to current.
Available for viewing/inspections. Currently not driven and housed in a climate controlled garage.
This car is for sale locally and therefore auction could end early.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely
Fri, 29 Aug 2014When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.
Malcolm Gladwell reflects on engineering, recalls, and compromise
Thu, Apr 30 2015Journalist Malcolm Gladwell has made a career taking on big, complicated topics and humanizing them to make the unwieldy understandable. He has already done this in bestsellers like The Tipping Point and Outliers, and now he has brought the same approach to automotive recalls in a long piece for The New Yorker. The article titled The Engineer's Lament is framed around an interview with the former head of Ford's recall office about the famous Ford Pinto campaign where the position of the compact's fuel tank could cause it to explode in rear-end collisions. Plus, there are detours into Toyota's unintended acceleration cases and the General Motors ignition switch problem. While all the history is illuminating, the heart of the story comes from an examination at the thought process of engineers, and how their thinking differs from other professions. Gladwell comes off as sympathetic to auto engineers in this piece. While he admits that they often approach problems in a sterile way, the writer doesn't try point that out as a failing. It's merely a fact to be understood. The story itself is quite lengthy, but well worth a read if you have the time for an insiders view into how these recalls are assessed on the inside.
Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
