1997 Ford Crown Victoria P71 (Police Interceptor) with 192,000 miles. 4-door, V8 4.6L engine, automatic transmission, RWD. Still running well after all this time (working heat/AC, power windows/locks, etc.). I have owned this car for 60,000 miles (~3 years). During this time, it has had regular tune-ups and oil changes, replacement tires, new front-end suspension parts as needed, new wiper transmission, new power steering pump, new cooling fan, new differential/bearing replacement parts and a differential oil flush, new battery, and various other replacements/upgrades. It has never once broken down or failed to start, and has been my daily driver to/from work.
The vehicle is due for new filters, and could use a new fan clutch, thermostat and coolant flush (temp gauge has been slightly above median during long drives, but still within safe limits). I will be including new parts for this (over $150 worth of parts) - just haven't had a chance to replace them myself. Also, there are some small rust spots/scratches and the hood is not perfectly flush with the body due to a collision with a deer some time ago (thus, the new headlights/grill/bumper). The price is low due to age/mileage and minor cosmetic issues. I pulled the stereo to put it into a different car, but can provide the wiring diagram and a used stereo if desired (easy to hook-up, and all car speakers are working). It comes with a clean title too. Selling "as is."
Asking $1,100 OBO. Please reply to post via email, or call/txt Chris at (978) 3three3-117nine (spelled out number to avoid bots) if interested. Expect a slightly morose man - a bit sad to give up the Millennium Falcon, although I don't really need two P71's...

Weekly Recap: Hackers demonstrate auto industry's vulnerability
Sat, Jul 25 2015There's always been a certain risk associated with driving, and this week cyber security came into focus as the latest danger zone when researchers demonstrated how easily they could hack into a 2014 Jeep Cherokee from across the country. The incident raised concerns over the vulnerability of today's cars, many of which double as smartphones and hot spots. During the now-infamous experiment, Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller infiltrated the Jeep's cellular connection and were able to control the infotainment system, brakes, and other functions. The hackers told the Jeep's maker, FCA US, of their findings last year, the company devised a software fix. Though Valesek and Miller hacked a Cherokee (like the one shown above), several FCA products, including recent versions of the Ram, Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, and Viper were also affected, illustrating potentially wide exposure that could reverberate across the sector. "For the auto industry, this is a very important event and shows that cyber-security protection is needed even sooner than previously planned," Egil Juliussen, senior analyst and research director for IHS Automotive, wrote in a research note. "Five years ago, the auto industry did not consider cyber security as a near-term problem. This view has changed." Hours after the Cherokee hacking incident was publicized on Tuesday, Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) introduced legislation to direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Trade Commission to establish national standards for automotive cyber security. The bill also would require vehicles to have a cyber-rating system to alert consumers how well their cars' privacy and security are defended. "Drivers shouldn't have to choose between being connected and being protected," Markey said in a statement. "We need clear rules of the road that protect cars from hackers and American families from data trackers." Though FCA and its Jeep Cherokee were in the spotlight this time, they were just the latest to showcase how automotive technology has advanced faster than safety and regulatory measures. IHS forecasts 82.5 million cars will be connected to the internet by 2022, which is more than three times today's level. "Cyber-security will become a major challenge for the auto industry and solutions are long overdue," Juliussen said.

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
