Drive GREEN, cruise in the HOV Lane and SAVE, SAVE, SAVE !

This car is a Police Interceptor (P71), and was a Fire Department vehicle, driven by only two people before I bought it a year ago. So it was not abused like your average Police Cruiser. It has all the amenities typical for these cars: ABS brakes, electric windows, cruise control, etc. The interior is sea blue, with cloth bucket seats in the front and a matching vinyl bench in the rear. The carpets and headliner are also sea blue. The car also comes with an upgraded 200 Watt Dual Bluetooth Stereo with remote control.

This Crown Vic is in excellent condition and has just over 27,250 miles on it. (Still registered and in use.) Brakes and tires are good, all with about 65% of their respective life remaining. Additionally, I just had some important service work performed to make it handle like new. On October 26th at 27,100 miles the following new parts were installed at a total cost of $745: A NEW set (4) of Monroe severe service shocks, NEW Moog front sway bar bushings, and a NEW idler arm.

Best of all, this car is an OEM (built by Ford in Canada) dedicated COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG) vehicle. This allows you not only to save a bundle on fuel costs, but you can legally cruise the HOV/ Diamond Lane by yourself during commute hours, because by burning Natural Gas you are in a Clean Air Vehicle -- Greener even than most Toyota Prius', and with a lot more room and comfort. The HOV Lane saves you a lot of time. And to save even more on fuel, this car had differential gears with a final drive ratio of 1 : 2.73 installed, which lets you save about 10% compared to a standard P71's rear gears.

When cruising at 70-75+mph on the freeway I average 24 mpg. In city traffic that drops down to about 16 mpg. 19 mpg is my average, but with a gentler right foot you can easily bring that up to 20+ mpg. The installed CNG tanks give you a range of 160-200 miles. The CNG tanks are certified until 11/2015 and the white HOV Lane stickers that come with the car are good until at least 12/2019 (Per AB 266).

At current fuel prices of around $3.75 per gallon, the $2.20 per GGE Natural Gas this car uses will save you an average of $1.55 per gallon! At an average of 19 mpg with 20,000 miles per year driven, that will save you a cool $1,600+ in just one year! You can even a reduce your fuel costs to under $1/ GGE by getting your own compressor system and a special rate from PG&E. If you do, you will more than double your fuel cost savings.

Of course, if you use this car as a taxi (which is what I had planned) you will save a lot more. When you run this car for 5 shifts a week averaging 200 miles a shift, for 50 weeks a year, in the 50,000 miles driven you will save $4,000+! ! So after just over a year and a half, this car will have paid for itself, with just the money you saved on fuel costs. All the while you're passing the competition in the HOV lane on your way back from the City or the Airport. If you have or get your own CNG compressor you can save close to $9,000 in the first year !

Because I was going to turn this car into a taxi, I have some additional items available that you may want to get if you also plan on using this vehicle as a taxi. These items are not included in my price for the car. Here's the short list and the prices for the individual items:

• NEW Energy Suspension Polyurethane Bushings for Front A-Arms: $80 ($99.95+tax at Kragen)
• NEW Moving LED Message / Taxi sign, with base modified to fit a Crown Victoria: $250
• NEW CentroDyne Silent S700 Advanced Taxi Meter (installed) PRINTER READY: $300
• Upgraded Sea Blue Headliner, w. Map Lights and rear Passenger Lights: $180
• Upgraded Sea Blue 2-part Sun Visors, Driver's & Passenger Side w. lighted Mirrors: $120
• 415 Area Code Vanity Phone Number 5XX-TAXI: $3,500

• PACKAGE DEAL: Everything including the TAXI Phone Number: $10,500

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
