1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 55A Police Package Sedan: Arizona Highway Patrol Show Car

 

This is a genuine 55A Police Package sedan with the optional 5.8L (351-ci) 2V V-8 police engine

Originally a Burlington, NC unmarked administrator's vehicle, this car now proudly wears the uniform of the Arizona Highway Patrol.

I am an avid police car collector and this is my 6th restoration. I spared no expense turning this 25-year old cruiser into a show winner.

This car is a regular at car shows in metro Detroit and has won several awards. 

 

I have owned this car since 2010. To date, over $9,000 invested in this battle-tested beauty including:

 

Newly rebuilt engine!! Completed in March, 2012, the long block is bored 0.030” over - now 357 cubic inches. Also, new oil pump, water pump, fuel pump, radiator, alternator,

                                       heater core, starter, R-134 A/C conversion, coolant reservoir, heater hoses, distributor, Duraspark II engine control box, 195F thermostat, spark plugs,

                                       and other newer parts like M+S tires, front brakes, and front and rear HD “cop” shocks.

 

New paint job!! Completed in May, 2012 this car has a glossy, clean urethane finish in Ford Oxford White.

                           This car's body is in excellent shape with virtually no rust on the panels, frame, undercarriage, or door jams.

 

Loaded interior!! It comes with all the luxury power features most fleet cars didn’t get: Seats, Windows, Mirrors, and full carpeting.

                              No cracks or serious wear marks & everything works including the ICE COLD A/C. 

 

Ready for car shows!! Fully marked with lights and sirens!! Comes with Arizona Highway Patrol decals and dummy license plates, Federal Signal PA-200 siren,

                                       Motorola radio console, rear PAR 46 red/amber lights, wigwag headlights, front red light, switch panel, working radar unit, 140 MPH speedometer,

                                       and the special auxiliary gauge pkg. (oil, water, volts).

                                       (All decals and lights are magnetic and removable for regular driving around town or cruising to shows).

 

She’s ready to roll anywhere!! I drove it to Chicago, Philadelphia, and North Carolina just last year! 

**Please note: This car has the original **Variable Venturi** carburetor (which can be fussy at times), but always starts and runs.

Also, the heater works but it does not work well. It would be unsuitable to drive during the winter.

Finally, this is a 25-year old former police car with outdated and worn mechanical technology. I cannot provide any type of guarantees.

 

SPECIAL PURCHASE CONDITIONS:

**Buyer to arrange pickup and transportation.

**Only certified checks from established banking institutions or CASH will be acceptable.

**For base vehicle without police decals, lights, or equipment subtract $500 from the reserve price.

 

This show car is located in Grosse Pointe, Michigan and with winter coming it needs a good home. The Reserve price is set well below the normal listing price

for restored "police package" vehicles of this era. This is a great opportunity to get into the show car hobby without having to spend a small fortune.

This car wins just as many awards as vintage muscle cars that cost 10 times as much to restore, insure, and maintain.

 

Thank you for reading my description. Good luck.

Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
