Cvpi Police Interceptor Havis K-9 Cage And Factory Rear Seat on 2040-cars
|
Up for sale is my 2003 CVPI Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Prior Wisconsin State Police Highway Patrol Unit I purchased it 4 years ago and replaced many significant parts and used it as a daily driver until this Winter. The rear differential will need to be rebuilt or replaced. The vehicle does currently drive and it is the only known issue from being a reliable daily driver again, however the repair is mandatory. I've had the car parked since the middle of Winter with the intention of repairing the rear differential but I haven't had the time. Now I have 4 vehicles and only a 2 bay garage, so the wife says one of them has to go. I will miss it very much, as it has been very reliable, inexpensive and comfortable and fun to drive. The car demands respect on the road. Other drivers are always very courteous, nobody tailgates or cuts you off, it really makes for a stress-free driving experience whether it be a long trip on the highway or just to the grocery store. These are some of the repairs made, the majority of the repairs were within the last few years and only with factory Motorcraft or quality aftermarket parts like Moog
Currently installed in the back seat is a Havis K-9 cage (MSRP $1500 new) The car also comes with the factory seat and door panels. My dog loves his area in the back of the car, and it proved to be very convenient. The cage also provides a flat floor making it very roomy for transporting larger objects. The factory back seat, door panels and everything needed to go back to a factory is included. Currently mounted on the rims are General Altimax Arctic winter tires, they have been used for 2.5 winters and a phenomenal to say the least. With the factory limited slip rear end the car was unstoppable in any snow we see in CT. Summer tires also go with the car. I have a set of OEM police interceptor Eagle RSA's. 2 of them are brand new with less than 1000 miles, 1 is only about a year old and 1 is older and needs to be replaced soon. The rear differential gears are 3.27:1, giving you excellent gas mileage for a V8 especially on the highway. On road trips I usually get 23mpg at 75mph, and around town about 18mpg. The car is also equipped with a remote starter and alarm system. VERY convenient on really cold or really hot days. The only issues other than the rear end are minor and don't affect driveability:
Exterior blemishes are noticeable up close only and there are dings, scratches and dents. However when the car was driven daily I kept the exterior looking as best it could with polishing, buffing and waxing multiple times a year (as you can see from the pictures taken last summer it was very well taken care of). Currently the car hasn't been washed since the Winter and hasn't been polished up since before Winter. The first 15 pictures were taken last summer when it was still a daily driver, the remaining pictures of the car in the asphalt driveway are current pictures of the car and where it's been for the last few months. The car has a clear title in hand. * The center console in the pictures and the aftermarket radio are not installed in the car nor included in the sale, the factory AM/FM head unit has been re-installed. Also the items in the trunk are not included.....neither is my dog!* |

Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST priced from $21,400* [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2014 model year brings a whole host of changes to Ford's Fiesta B-Segment fighter, the most important of which (to our enthusiast eyes, anyway) is the addition of a potent new ST model. The US-spec hot hatch was first shown at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show last November, and thanks to Ford's build-and-price site, we've now learned that the Fiesta ST will slide in at $21,400 when it goes on sale later this year (*not including $795 for destination).
Under the hood of the ST is a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four good for 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford hasn't released performance data on its pint-sized puncher just yet, but know that these numbers make the Fiesta ST ever-so-slightly more powerful than the larger Volkswagen GTI while returning an estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
Elsewhere in the lineup, the standard Fiesta also gets a smattering of improvements for the 2014 model year, including a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and revised exterior styling. Pricing for the 2014 Fiesta sedan starts at $14,000, with the five-door model adding $600 to that number (again excluding the $795 destination fee).
The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
