'98 P71 Cvpi Staff Car, Never On Patrol! New Tires And Intake! In Pittsburgh Pa! on 2040-cars

US $1,399.00

Sewickley, Pennsylvania, United States

I'm offering this Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with no reserve. The car is in the Pittsburgh area.
If you like driving in the left lane and having everyone move out of your way, then this is the car for you!
I've owned it over a year and a half and have driven it daily, including two cross country trips.
The car was originally owned by The Putnamville Correctional Institute and I have ALL the maintenance records.
It has an engine that purrs and the intake manifold was replaced just 5,000 miles before I bought it. If you're familiar with the 4.6 you know the intake is the weak link on this engine. It will fail. The replacement is of a new design which utilizes aluminum where the original was plastic.
This CVPI is equipped with cruise control which is rare to see in a cop car. Holds steady at whichever speed you set it.
You may think the car has high miles, but I've been in a dozen cabs that had 300,000+ miles, all with the original engine! And for a car of this age, that's just over 13,000 miles a year.
I get 20 MPG cruising at 80MPH. The A/C is currently not working because of a leak in the line. All other A/C components are present and operational. There is a little rust around the drivers fender and a minor amount at the bottom of the back door. The paint was peeling on the hood so I just gave it a coat of gloss gray paint.
The ABS light is on and the code reader says it's the Left Rear Wheel Sensor Input Circuit Failure (Code 1175). It still passes Texas inspection and the brakes function normally so I have never investigated it further. The service dept. at the Ford dealer said it may just be a connection, but worse case scenario would be about $100 for a new sensor and 1 hour labor at $90.
I just replaced all 4 tires from WalMart and also purchased lifetime balance and road hazard protection. The car starts every time and has NEVER failed me. All I've done is change the oil (Mobil 1) and replaced the belt, not because it broke, but just for insurance. The car pulls SLIGHTLY to the right, but it has never bothered me. I just want to mention all I know.
I now have 800 feedback, all positive, and have been on ebay 11 years. I would not sell a car that I wouldn't personally drive cross country. And I just did! Sunday I was in Houston and as I type this, I'm in my hotel room in Elizabethtown Kentucky. I'm stopping later in Wheeling West Virginia and will be in Pittsburgh Wednesday. The car will be in the Sewickley part of town if you want to come look at it.
The only reason I'm selling it is because I already have my Buick in PA and my garage only holds one car.  :)
I'll post more detailed photos on Thursday after I wash it.
This would make someone a safe first car or if you need transportation for 5 people.
I know I will miss it, but I just have one car too many. Email or call with questions. 817-368-9477
Thanks for looking and good luck!

I also want to add the car has a good spare tire and includes the police trunk organizer with Kevlar panel. The intake manifold and spark plugs were replaced at 196K miles.

 I'm also throwing in a good, used alternator and an aftermarket plastic center console. Not the greatest, but functional.

 I also want to mention one of the chrome beauty rings on the wheels is missing. They originally did not come on this car. They were from my Suburban.

Entry-level F-150 now offers SuperCrew, Sport Package

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Ford has made a few notable tweaks to the lower end of its F-150 lineup, giving customers a more affordable version of the four-door SuperCrew body style. The popular SuperCrew could previously only be had on XLT models and above, but Ford has announced that 2014 F-150s with the base STX trim can get the more versatile body.
The STX SuperCrew brings the price of a four-door F-150 down from $34,525 to $33,145. Like the XLT SuperCrew, the STX will be available with the choice of a 5.5- or 6.5-foot bed, while a 5.0-liter V8 can replace the base 3.7-liter V6 for $4,425. Ford has not released pricing on the different bed lengths yet, but opting for the 6.5-foot bed on the XLT raises the price $1,240 and forces buyers into the 5.0-liter V8. We'd expect a similar arrangement on the STX.
The other big news for fans of affordable pickups is the addition of an STX Sport Package on the base-level truck. It adds 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, black-and-gray cloth seats and decals on the truck's box. The Sport Package is available on all three of the STX's body styles, with Ford listing the price as $980 with current discounts.

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.

2015 Ford Mustang option prices gallop onto the web

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang is one of the most anticipated cars of the year, despite the fact that production hasn't yet begun. What's a pony car fan to do? It turns out that Ford already has pricing and options information about the vehicle in its dealer ordering system. A few enterprising folks have snapped some pictures from it and have posted them online. You might not be able to drive your car yet, but you can at least see what it might cost.
At the moment, Ford appears to be splitting the Mustang into five models - 3.7-liter V6, 2.3-liter EcoBoost, GT with the 5.0-liter V8, 50th Anniversary and SVT. There are 10 available paint colors, 2 of which require an extra outlay. Triple Yellow is $495, and Ruby Red Tint is $395. Regardless of model, navigation goes for $795, and reverse parking assist is $295.
For both the EcoBoost and GT, the six-speed automatic tacks an extra $1,195 to the sticker, and adaptive cruise control is the same price. The GT also has a limited-slip 3.55 rear end for $395 and a GT Performance package for $2,495. Recaro leather seats add an extra $1,595. For the EcoBoost, there's something called EcoBoost Performance package for $1,995. The system doesn't say what the packages include.
