2004 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Howard Lake, Minnesota, United States
Here's a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor I purchased in MO a month or so ago.
The good: I have not test driven this car much because it doesn't have plates. I have taken it down the road locally a few times and it seems to drive well. The interior is clean overall. The seats are in good condition. Since the car is from Missouri, overall the body is very good with no visible rust. The car got new spark plugs last week. The brakes are 50% in the front and 60% in the rear remaining. The rear doors have all of the lock and latch mechanisms in them. Most cop cars do not. I have a clean MO title in hand. Car has no major oil leaks or serious mechanical problems that I could find. These cars were advertised to get 24mpg highway. Not too bad! These cars are built for long term heavy service. That's why taxi companies drive them. It's got cop shocks, cop brakes, etc... The bad: Car has 124K miles on it, so everything is not "brand new" tight. It has some rattles and squeaks. The paint is not too good. The black is faded and chalky. It is flaked in multiple spots. It has some scratches and areas that are peeling. Cup holder cover is broken off. See pic. The roof has some small dents and holes in it from equipment. The rear door on the driver's side has a dent. See pic. The corner of the trunk lid his a ding and some small dents. The tires are 30-40% remaining. One rear inner door handle is broken. Not the mechanism, just the handle. If you are looking for a cheaper but reliable car to drive, this car is for you. Keep in mind that this is a cheaper car that's 10+ years old. So, it's not perfect. I have described this car to the best of my knowledge and tried to point out any flaws that I could find. Please email with questions before bidding. Thanks for checking it out!! |

Ford, Volvo, Google, Uber and Lyft form self-driving alliance
Tue, Apr 26 2016Five companies arguably leading the worldwide effort to develop autonomous cars said Tuesday they're forming an organization to lobby the federal government to better prepare America's roads for self-driving technology. The founding members include some of the biggest companies in the automotive, autonomous, and ride-sharing realms – Ford, Google, Lyft, Uber and Volvo. Operating as the "Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets," they aim to work with lawmakers and regulators to clarify a disparate set of rules and regulations at both the state and federal levels that could hinder the deployment of autonomous cars. "The U.S. risks losing its leading position due to the lack of federal guidelines for the testing and certification of autonomous vehicles." – Hakan Samuelsson David Strickland, a former administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration who issued the first set of autonomous-related policies in that role (pictured below), will serve as the group's counsel and spokesperson. "The best path for this innovation is to have one clear set of federal standards, and the Coalition will work with policymakers to find the right solutions that will facilitate the deployment of self-driving vehicles," he said in a written statement. In January, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said his department would accelerate efforts to craft such federal standards. Those efforts include holding two public hearings on standards, the second of which is scheduled to be held Wednesday in Palo Alto, California. Foxx signaled the intent to deliver them by June. Google has been leading the efforts to ensure such standards are national in scope, warning their cars could run afoul of state-specific laws should they cross state borders or if standards varies between the federal efforts and regional ones. The complexity of such efforts was underscored recently, when NHTSA agreed that Google's software could be considered the driver of a vehicle for the purpose of meeting federal motor vehicle standards, an interpretation that would conflict with preliminary California rules that mandate a licensed driver operate a self-driving car that comes equipped with human controls like a steering wheel and brakes. At South By Southwest last month, Jennifer Haroon, Google's self-driving car business leader, said the company couldn't accomplish its goals under those regulations.
Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]
Wed, 09 Oct 2013As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.
Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.
