1992 Ford Crown Victoria P75 Touring Sedan, Very Low Miles, Detective Unmarked on 2040-cars

FOMOCO's “Special” Crown Victoria …

 The 1992 Touring Sedan (P75)

This is a rare opportunity to win what could be the lowest mile Ford Crown Victoria P75 Touring Sedan in the country. If you’re NOT familiar with this 1 year only Special from the Ford Motor company, read the description “P75 history…” at the end of the description. This is not your standard P71 interceptor !!!

 I bought this vehicle several years back from a retired Police detective in Buffalo New York who managed to rack up only 29 300 miles. This was his private car and never served detective duty. I’m a car collector and couldn’t resist buying it.

I hardly drove (less than 200 mls) it over the last 6 years to preserve it’s low mileage. It was stored away, I just kept the fluids topped off and started it regularly.

The car appears to be stock except a few tasteful, modifications done by the previous owner which seem to reflect his police background:

·       Like new dual Flowmaster mufflers and turndowns before the rear axle (they still look like new). They add a nice rumble without causing resonance or drone in the interior

·       Upgraded Pioneer stereo (must have been done in the 90’s since it is an AM FM casette unit)

·       Various P75 & Interceptor commemorative emblems /decals (They are all 3M adhesive emblems and could be removed for a stock look) I do have all original body emblems.

·       Ford Racing cold air intake

According to a sticker on the driver side rear window, the car has been “super sealed” (rust prevention treatment similar to Ziebart) when new and it shows. I don’t see any rust on the body. However, I wouldn’t describe this Crown Vic as flawless  show car, it’s a 22 year old automobile with little marks here and there, but very little effort could turn this into one of the cleanest, probably lowest mile P75’s  in the country.

Or you just enjoy it for what it is, a powerful rear wheel drive fully loaded V8 police interceptor with less than 30.000 mls! They don’t build them like this anymore.

I have the clear title in my hands, but currently registration is expired. You’re welcome to come by and inspect the car in person, or inquire about details in writing through Ebay.  

I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. 

Interior:

I rate it 8 out of 10. Very clean, flawless headliner, minor stains on carpet, new floor mats. Rear bench and passenger seat are like new. Driver seat has slight discoloration seems a shade darker as the rest, however it is the original (P75 exclusive seat) I tried to capture it but you can’t see it on the photos.  The P75’s had every factory option available in 1992:

·       Power Steering

·       Power Seats with lumbar support

·       Power windows

·       Power lock

·       Power doors

·       Power Mirrors

·       Power Antenna

·       Keyless entry

·       Air condition

·       Anti lock brakes

·       Remote trunk and fuel door release

·       Traction control

·       Rear air suspension

·       Full leather interior

 All Power options work except the remote trunk release occasionally cut’s out but the key always works. AC has been converted to R134 and blows ice-cold. Airbag light blinks.

Exterior:

I rate it a 7 out of 10. Car is 22 years old and has minor nicks and here and there. There are too small to show on the photos however. All P75’s came in a two tone color scheme. Glass is flawless. Door edges and wheel wells look extremely clean. Headlight and taillight lenses are clear. Good rubber parts. Original alloys have some clear coat peeling.

Engine, Transmission:

29 528 original miles. Not much else to say.

 I changed all fluids this week. Engine oil + filter Transmission fluid + filter, brakefluid, rear axle fluid. No noises or leaks. The P75’s has all the P71 Interceptor heavy duty parts (springs, shocks, brakes, cooling, quick ratio steering, swaybars, traction control, dual exhaust etc.).

Tires, Brakes, Suspension:

Tires are old and should be replaced if used as a driver, however they have between 30 and 50% thread left.. Brakes are strong, pads seem to be new. The emergency brake cable seized since it was never used and was removed. Air suspension and load levelling work as intended. Steering is tight and direct, no leaks or noises.

The P75 history…

The 1992 Ford Crown Victoria Touring Sedan P75 is truly a unique and eclectic car. In fact these are so rare, I did not even know they existed until I did some homework on the models. Most people, like myself, that are fans of the Crown Victoria know of the P71 (Police Car), and the other “P” designations of the many base and enhanced models of Crown Victorias. For only one year in 1992, these few limited production cars were built as the Crown Victoria Touring Sedan under the P75 VIN Designation. 1992 is also the first year of the newer crown vic with the 4.6 engine. I am assuming due to the 30% extra price over base and the fact these were more “performance” type cars than the general Crown Vic crowd attracted, the orders were not many thus it was only made one year. I would say this was really the first version of what Chevy did with the Impala SS. I would also say that the total productions of these Touring Sedans are about a % of the Impala SS too. I really have not been able to find out how many of these were actually made.

What this car is, is  essentially a P71 with every available option known to the Ford Lineup designated under the one time used P75 VIN ID. Later Crown Vic’s would see things like the HPP package, sport package and special ordered version of the car per unit, but not to this loaded out level as a “Touring Sedan” package like the P75.

The Touring Sedan has the suspension of the P71 with the higher rate springs, larger sway bars, quicker ratio steering, etc plus all the luxury items found on a loaded out Town Car. The Touring Sedan also boasts the 3.27 rear gear ratio with traction control, 4 wheel disk brakes, dual exhaust higher performance engine (210HP), heavy duty cooling, power steering cooling, extra transmission cooling, gauges, larger wheels and performance tires, ABS, Traction, etc.
