2000 Ford Crown Victoria Cng - No Reserve! on 2040-cars

Year:2000 Mileage:190995

Springville, Utah, United States

 

Ford Crown Victoria runs on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). This is a dedicated CNG engine and does not run on gasoline. This vehicle has served me faithfully for a dozen years, getting about 21 MPG on CNG which currently sells for $1.50 in the state of Utah. That is dollar equivalent to getting nearly 50 miles to the gallon, but in a large, spacious vehicle. I commute from Springville to Salt Lake City regularly using the carpool lane with a Clean Vehicle pass issued by UDOT. The tank holds about 14-15 gallons, and have I driven it more than 300 miles on a single fill up. Natural gas burns clean leaving less engine residue and allowing for a longer engine life that is ever expected with a gasoline engine.

The body of the vehicle in great shape other than a fair number of rock chips. The interior looks very clean. The car feels like it could use new shock absorbers, and the engine hesitates some until it warms up, but I have no problem taking it back and forth along the Wasatch Front. I have also taken it on numerous trips between Utah and Southern California, and to visit my daughter in Pocatello, Idaho.

This vehicle was originally owned by Cal State Channel Islands as a vehicle for school administrators. It has a police interceptor engine for extra power and extra CNG tank capacity, but was never fitted as a police car. It was outfitted to carry executives and it plush and comfortable inside. It has power windows, power door locks, power side mirrors, cruise control, an A/C that runs cold, and a Kenwood sound system with USB and CD. The car has six seat belts, but seats five very comfortably.

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.

Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
