2008 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor (CVPI). One owner, clear title, extensive maintenance records, with only 92,888 miles. Includes heavy duty flooring, severe-duty shock absobers, higher-rate coil springs, and rear anti-roll stabilizer bars, heavier suspension, and it is outfitted with all silicone hoses and premium aircraft clamps. These vehicles generally run hundreds of thousands of miles as taxicabs and law enforcement vehicles, and are not sold by Ford to the general public. Includes manual and comprehensive parts and labor service journal detailing parts and labor on 114 pages of work orders totalling $56,645 spent on fleet maintenance over the life of this vehicle so far. Additionally, the hood, roof, and trunk were repainted and the instrument cluster was replaced at Ford's expense in 2011.
The CVPI rear-wheel drive, V8 power, and reinforced frame, body mounts, and body-on-frame construction are useful for law enforcement and taxi use because repairs are easier and less expensive after collisions, the design facilitates aggressive, safer PIT maneuvers and high-speed chase techniques, and the rims, chassis, and suspension are designed to withstand curb impacts of up to 40 mph. CVPIs are in demand by taxi companies because they want a safe car with a heavy-duty rear bench to comfortably seat three adults.
CVPI enthusiasts appreciate the heavy duty transmission, 187 kW (254 PS; 251 hp) 4.6L V8 engine with 9.6:1 compression (higher than stock), 3.27:1 rear axle, high rpm / high load external oil-to-engine oil cooler designed for higher-load, faster driving for extended periods, T-409 stainless steel dual exhaust without resonators, high rate coil springs, a more powerful 78 A h battery, and a larger 200 A alternator. The cluster sports a 140 mph analog speedometer, digital odometer with hour and trip meters, and compatability with other civilian features.
This unit is NOT equipped with Kevlar-lined front doors, so these are not recommended as protective barriers during gunfights. However, the rear doors open normally from the inside, so suspects or your children may be able to escape the back seating area, as in a typical automobile.. Gunplay, citizen arrests, kidnapping, etc. are not advised. Flex-fuel cars like the P71 support American farmers here in the midwest where we grow crops used to produce E-85 and biofuels. Around here, E-85 costs about 80-85 cents per gallon less than regular unleaded. I usually also add a few ounces of generic fuel injector cleaner per tankful to increase mpg and boost performance. Please be advised that the only infallible way to identify a CVPI P71 is to note the inclusion of the code "P71" in the VIN,. When you find one, it's all about functionality, reliability, and industrial strength power. It just works, and it's cheaper and easier to fix than anything else if it stops working. It's a basic, heavy-duty drivetrain, high-performance braking, tight, durable suspension, includes a rugged, kid-proof interior, and is well-documented, in case you want to Google something to fix it yourself. Please feel free to email or call me at 217/390-8500 with any questions or concerns. Test drives and inspections are welcome and encouraged. On Oct-10-13 at 19:57:56 PDT, seller added the following information: There appears to be an error in the AutoCheck report, which reflects an accident reported in Irving, Texas, although I have confirmed that the car has never been driven to Texas or involved in an accident there. Will attempt to contact the reporting authorities to correct this mistake. |

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger
Mon, Jun 15 2015Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.

Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.
