Beautiful P71 Under 40,000 Miles on 2040-cars
Rensselaer, New York, United States
|
This is a very low-mileage, extremely low idle hours, always unmarked, loaded 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with the coveted blacked out stealth look. I purchased it out of service from United States Government, where it appears to have been a dignitary car judging by the reading light installed in the back seat. I transferred out of a unit that provided take home cars in the summer of 2012 and have now returned to another that provides me with a take home vehicle so I don't need this car anymore. I purchased this car with 32,000 miles as a commute vehicle from my home to my office and it has served me very well. This 2008 has 37,936 actual, documented miles and 725 idle hours on it. This is a beautiful example of a very rare, hard to find car in the best color. This unit has never had a spotlight or decals and the antenna is a trunk lip mount so no hole. It has no holes drilled anywhere in the body and has never been in regular police service. This unit includes all of the options you would expect plus factory cruise control, factory auxiliary police dome lamp, factory AM/FM/CD stereo, driver and passenger side airbags, cloth front bucket seating with vinyl rear bench seat, full-factory carpeting w/matching factory carpeted floor mats, rear passenger reading light and an aftermarket center console for convenience. These items, of course, are just the beginning of the list of equipment on this car. It is finished in the factory Formal Black finish with Dark Charcoal interior. This is one of the most beautiful colors available on a Crown Victoria. With under 38,000 actual, original miles on it, the exterior is very nice and the interior shows nearly zero wear. It has been extremely well-maintained and it runs, drives and handles as close to new as you will find. It has never been abused and it looks gorgeous. 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. I had a new high output alternator and battery installed in December 2013. This car has the full police package,
dark tinted windows and rides like a dream. If sold to a member of law enforcement or fire personal the whelen siren unit/control head and front and rear led warning lights will be deactivated and included. If not, they will be totally removed leaving no holes. All Crown Victoria’s produced from 2004-onward utilized the new, improved, 250-horsepower 4.6 liter V8 engine and are the fastest Crown Victoria’s produced due to many changes that were made, mainly in the intake system. Crown Victoria’s like this one are becoming extinct. Especially in this kind of shape, so here's your opportunity if you've been looking for one of the nicest you will find in desirable color combination with ultra-low mileage. This car drives as close to new as you will ever find. It is a very nice driving, tight unit...not a beat-up police car. It has never been used for any type of normal police or patrol work. It does have the usual minor scratches but they are like any used vehicle, not bad from decals or rough duty. It does have a large scratch on the front end that I have added photos of. Either the agency or Dealer I bought it from filled in the scratch and tried to cover it with touch up paint. But other than that this car is beautiful…This 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor will sell to the high bidder at the end of the auction, providing the reserve is met. Please email me with any questions. |

Ford cleans up painting process with cameras
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Knowing how the bacon gets made rarely entices us and, in the same vein, the same usually goes for knowing about how new cars get painted. But in both instances, however, quality - or a lack thereof - is instantly obvious. In terms of the latter, Ford is showing off its new paint quality process with 3D Dirt Detection Technology to find imperfections in vehicle paint more easily and more quickly.
This process - being performed on the F-150 SVT Raptor above - uses 16 computer-controlled cameras to create a three-dimensional model (inset) of the vehicle to detect flaws in the paint including dirt particles, which can then be buffed out manually. Ford says this new technology cuts down on time spent looking for paint flaws and gives workers more time to correct those that are discovered.
Currently, Ford only uses its 3D Dirt Detection Technology system at three factories (the Dearborn, MI facility, along with those in Louisville, Kentucky and Valencia, Spain), but it will soon spread to five more plants in North America. Ford has released a video and press release for this innovative and unexpectedly interesting process, both of which are posted below.
Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest
Tue, 01 Apr 2014New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
