Crown Victoria Police Interceptor

I am putting my beloved Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (aka PI P71) up for sale. I am looking to reduce my number of vehicles. It is a well maintained car in the rare paint color "Light Tundra" with light Stone (two tone) interior. It was a leased car used by the D.A. in Salt Lake County, Utah. I own it over 5 years and put 50,000 trouble free miles on it (90% hwy and 10% Town/country). It was used primarily for long interstate road trips. It now has 96,200 miles and around 250 incredibly low idle hours.
Its factory options include Cruise, very rare Traction Control and Civilian Velor Six Passenger Seating Interior, Power D/S seat with power lumbar, Side Air Bags, rear Sylvania Osram goose-neck reading lamps over back seat, ceiling ticket lamp, AM/FM with CD.

I added HID fog lights w/ factor switch found in the Mercury Marauder and the plastic throttle body engine cover and hood insulation only found on the Civilian Model Crown Victoria which really quiets down the ride. It never had any holes, antennas or spot lights on it. All paint is original and no evidence of any body work. The underside of the car is like it came out of the showroom.

The car is stored in the garage for winters as I need 4wd so I switch to my Pick-up. The Good Year RSA tires are 50% and the matching spare is brand new.

I am very anal with my cars being in top condition. This car does have some minor light scratches and a golf ball dent in the bottom of the ft. pass. door and not noticeable. The interior is perfect except for a small pink gator aid stain on the rear carpet which is covered by the molded floor mat.

If you are looking at this ad you know these cars and their performance and capability of getting upwards of 400K when cared for.

No Reserve Starting at $7000 with ABSOLUTELY NO Interest in selling it for any less. I would rather keep it as a spare car as I am using it now.

If you want the car exported I will only deal with Berlin Motors Auto Importers in Berlin, Germany. I will do a BUY IT NOW. I will export it or do a bank wire sale through them only for export. If you are in the U.S. they have an office in Ft. Lauderdale Florida.

Attention: Auto Advertisers please do not reply as I interested for you to sell my car .

Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.

Bosch fined $57.8 million by DOJ for price fixing and bid rigging

Tue, Mar 31 2015

The US Department of Justice has been investigating bid rigging and price fixing among automotive parts suppliers for years, and so far the agency has leveled nearly $2.5 billion in fines against 34 companies. The latest business to be caught in this ongoing crackdown is Germany's Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), the world's largest independent auto component maker, and it agrees to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine to the Feds. According to the DOJ, Bosch has agreed to plead guilty to pricing fixing and bid rigging for spark plugs and oxygen sensors supplied to the former DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors. The rigging is said to have occurred between January 2000 and July 2011. Bosch also allegedly played foul with starter motors sold to Volkswagen from January 2009 until at least June 2010. Bosch and other companies allegedly conspired on the pricing for bids to submit to automakers, and sold the parts at noncompetitive prices. The DOJ filed a one-count felony charge in US District Court for these actions. The company's plea is still subject to court approval, though. Bosch is only the third European company to be charged in this investigation, according to the DOJ. So far, many of the fined businesses have been from Japan, including Takata, NGK and others. Some execs have claimed price-fixing has been the standard operating procedure in the auto parts industry for a long time. Robert Bosch GmbH Agrees to Plead Guilty to Price Fixing and Bid Rigging on Automobile Parts Installed in U.S. Cars Robert Bosch GmbH, the world's largest independent parts supplier to the automotive industry, based in Gerlingen, Germany, has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for spark plugs, oxygen sensors and starter motors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere, the Department of Justice announced today. According to the one-count felony charge filed today in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan, Bosch conspired to allocate the supply of, rig bids for, and to fix, stabilize and maintain the prices of, spark plugs and oxygen sensors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers such as DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company and Andreas Stihl AG & Co., among others, in the United States and elsewhere.

Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.
