Cvpi P71 Crown Vic - Best Color Combo - New Interior - Every Available Option on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
Up for sale is a beautiful 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (CVPI) P71 Package with a Clear Texas Title in-hand. This is a highly reliable, powerful, and economical (28 mpg HWY) car. It has never left me stranded, starts on the first try every time, and does not leak. It drives straight and smooth, the AC blows cold, and it is regularly detailed (I'm an ex-detailer). The transmission is strong and crisp (zero slips in any gear). The VIN is 2FAFP71V48X142816
This CVPI is finished out in one of the rarest, yet most desirable color combos, Medium Gray Metallic over Black. I waited for months for this combo before purchasing this particular one. This P71 was retired from active duty by a Georgia Sheriff's Department less than 6,000 miles ago (January 2013). During that tenure, it was municipality maintained; now, currently professionally maintained and cleaned regularly. Being a southern car (first Georgia, now Texas), there is no rust on this vehicle. This car passed inspection last month with flying colors. For the wear items, I estimate there is 50% life left on the tires (OEM Goodyears) and 60% left on the brakes. There are no lights or police equipment in this vehicle. The spotlight and extra dome (ticket) light are legal. The antennas are dummies and the other roof holes have been plugged with color-matched PVC plastic plugs. This P71 is loaded with every available option at the time, including:
The recent upgrades and repairs are:
While this is a great example of a late-model P71, it is not perfect. There are some areas that are worth noting.
Please review all of the pictures thoroughly and ask any questions you may have. I tried to be as honest as I could with this description. This car has served me well for the past 18 months. Shortly after purchasing, I began working from home (hence the low mileage since purchasing) and no longer have a need for two vehicles. It will be hard to part with-as the car is reliable, comfortable, and strong. It provided free security for my home and neighbors, just from sitting in the driveway. These cars go for 300k+ miles when used as taxis and I have no doubt that this will be one of those examples. |

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.

Toyo Tires will bring another wild catalog of rides to SEMA
Sun, Oct 27 2019Toyo Tires carts all kinds of toys to SEMA every year, the rubber company planning another 30 or so automotive exhibits this year in two locations. One of them, the Baja 911, comes with a pedigree not usually associated with the bewildering wares hawked at the Las Vegas show. TJ Russell was once lead fabricator for Singer Vehicle Design, now he's the head of Russell Built Fabrication in Sun Valley, CA. Sticking with the marque he knows well, Russell started with a 1991 Porsche Carrera 4 cabriolet, fitted the interior with a full roll cage, then built a hardtop around it to design a desert runner channeling the old Rothmans safari 911s. Underneath that bodywork lives a box-plate trailing arm suspension with 12 inches of travel, working 15-inch Fifteen52 FIA-approved Gravel wheels and 30-inch Toyo Open Country A/T II tires. Power comes from a purpose-built 3.8-liter air-cooled flat-six with about 350 horsepower — 100 hp more than stock — in a car that weighs 400 pounds less than the original. Oh, and as documented on Instagram with the tagline "All race outside, all business inside," the interior's full of quilted, cross-stitched leather, and Toyo says Russell's going to do a low-volume run of the Baja 911 starting early next year. ruffian-ford-mustang-sema-01 View 10 Photos Chris Ashton built a 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback called the Ruffian Mustang, inspired by the Trans Am Racing Series. The exterior changes are more subtle than one might think – the chin spoiler, hood scoop, and side mirrors are barely exaggerated versions of those on the original car, the intake vents astride the front lights and the steel bumpers teleported from 1970. Changes outside include de-chromed and flush-mounted glass, vented hood, front fenders that are dropped an inch, rear fender vents, dual side-exit pipes, and gargantuan fender flares over staggered Signature One wheels and Toyo Proxes 888 tires. The interior's fitted with a roll cage and race car workings. In spite of the Boss 427 badging, the engine's a 625-hp Chevrolet LS3 V8. button-built-ferrari-355-sema-01 View 13 Photos The Button Built Ferrari BB355TT picks up from last year's stanced BB328GTS widebody that gave many Internet denizens heart attacks. Laid up on a 1999 355 Berlinetta, the BB version appends a widebody kit designed Mitchell Button, rendered by Khyzyl Saleem and drenched in Azzuro la Plata, a color from Ferrari's Scagliette palette first used on a 1967 275GTB Le Mans racer.
