Up for you’re consideration is a dark gray 2008 Ford Police Interceptor.  This is not your typical high mileage / high idle hour beat up ex-police cruiser so please read the description in its entirety.  This vehicle was purchased NEW by me in early 2008 from a Sheriff’s Deputy in MA and is highly optioned.  He had ordered the vehicle along with several others for a private security firm that he runs on the side.  After purchasing the vehicle, his firm decided to go with SUV’s.  Subsequently, this Crown Vic and several others like it were released for sale to the public.  That is how I came about purchasing this vehicle which at the time only had 1,100 miles and fewer than 5 idle hours (ONLY HAS 300 idle hours NOW - THREE HUNDRED).  I still have the original eBay listing for this vehicle, bill of sale, copy of the MA title, and original window sticker with a breakdown of all the extra options (cruise, carpet, CD player, etc).  I also have a list of service records dating back to when the car had its first transmission service done at 20K miles.  This vehicle is ALL ORIGINAL.  I stacked the mileage on pretty quickly because I commute a long distance to three different jobs utilizing the NYS thruway (40+ miles one way to each job).  Most all of the mileage on this car was done on the highway; very little stop and go driving and very little idle time.  I have maintained a very strict service schedule with this vehicle since I have owned it using only AMSOIL full synthetic fluids in the engine, transmission, power steering, and rear differential.  The engine oil is changed every 5K-10K and the transmission receives a full service every 20K (flush w/ AMSOIL ATF and WIX filter). 

 

Now for the good stuff - Not only is this car in mint condition for a 6 year old vehicle, but it is also moded with the following:  Stainless Works long tube headers w/ catted lead pipes hooked up to the factory exhaust system, new OEM ported upper intake plenum, MSD ignition coils, new NKG iridium spark plugs, steeda under drive pulleys, EMP performance water pump, Ford 180* thermostat, B&M deep ATF pan with drain plug (holds 3 extra quarts of ATF) new Goodyear gatorback serpentine belt, and DiabloSport tuner ($2,700 in mods).  The tuner is included with the sale along with all of the factory items that were replaced with the above performance items (factory catalytic converters not included, only the factory headers).  This car has NEVER been abused or beaten on.  I was not planning on selling this car which is why I sank so much money into it.  My end goal was to make it similar in performance to a Mercury Marauder.  The mods have only been in the car for about a thousand miles and let me tell yah, she hauls arse and gets 20+ MPG doing it!  Also included in this sale are 3 additional sets of rims, 1 set are re-conditioned factory LX sport rims with Goodyear Assurance touring tires (60% tread), the other set are the original steel police rims that came with the car (I also have the OEM wheel covers).  I replaced the original steel rims with after market steel rims because they got rusty from having the wheel covers on them.  I now have the new rims on the car with General Arctic winter tires (60-70% tread).  The wheel sensors are attached to the LX sport rims so the tire pressure light is currently on.  The brake pads and rotors are NEW.  The rotors are from Brake Performance and are slotted (lifetime warranty against warping & defects).  The fuel filter is new.  I just performed the following maintenance: Fresh Amsoil synthetic fluid in the engine with Amsoil filter, fresh Amsoil ATF fluid, coolant system flush at the Ford dealer, new Odyssey Extreme battery ($300.00 battery).  THIS CAR NEEDS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  The interior is absolutely mint with no stains, odors, tears / rips, or holes from removal of police equipment.  The back seats were sat in less than a dozen times.  The carpet is like new as are the factory floor mats.  The exterior is in immaculate condition and was just recently “touched up” by a professional (Brush guard along bottom of doors and around wheel wells, new front and rear bumper, new front windshield).  The undercarriage is very clean with minimal surface rust and no damage of any kind.  I always make a point in the winter to have the undercarriage washed at least once a week. 

 

NADA private party retail price for a base model Police Interceptor of exact mileage and model year is $7,100.  Being as this is NOT a base model interceptor and comes with 2 sets of tires, 3 sets of rims, and more, I have set the opening bid at 7K.  The price is not negotiable!  I am selling this vehicle because I have just purchased a 2013 Ford Police Interceptor Utility as it better suites my needs.  If you want a like new police package Crown Vic that is in mint condition, highly optioned, and never in police service, this may be one of you’re last opportunities as Ford is no longer producing these vehicles.  Don’t let the mileage scare you, this vehicle is not even half way through its life span yet.  I have seen and driven abused patrol cars and former taxis with over 200K miles on them; original engines and transmissions, with thousands of idle hours that are still going strong.  This car is LIKE NEW.  Fly in and drive across country.

 

If you have a question regarding something that has NOT been mentioned above, please don’t hesitate to ask.  Buyer is responsible for shipping of vehicle if unable to drive home.  A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close.  Full payment is due within 7 days of auction close.  If you are fairly close and would like to set up a time to inspect the vehicle or take it for a test drive, let me know and arrangements will be made.  Mileage will be slightly higher at time of sale as I drive this car from time to time so it’s not sitting.  Vehicle is also for sale locally.  I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  If you have negative feedback or no feedback you must contact me before placing a bid.  Remember, you’re bid is a contract and this is a bid-to-own auction.  Non-paying bidders will be dealt with accordingly.  I have 100% feedback for a reason. This car was described accurately! Bid with confidence!

Hot Wheels Ford Transit Connect is worth more if we keep it in the box

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

If the 2014 Transit Connect is anything like it's utile current-generation predecessor, and we suspect it is, it will undoubtedly be one of the most functional vehicles in North America. Ford has used the occasion of SEMA to turn the TC in to things that both make use of that functionality, and occasionally sort of wreck it in the name of good old-fashioned fun. The Ford Hot Wheels Transit Connect most certainly falls into that second category.
Most TC owners might cite the vehicle's massive cargo capacity as its top positive trait, though in the case of this wide-bodied Transit said space has been sapped in the name of a 55-inch television screen, a massive Hot Wheels drag strip (continuing a popular theme at SEMA this year) and custom storage for dozens of models from one's personal hot wheels collection. Designers have also plucked the grippy Recaro seats from the Focus ST, and thrown in a pair of 18-inch tablet screens for connectivity on the go.
Naturally, the Transit Connect wouldn't be an appropriate SEMA vehicle, or Hot Wheels name-bearer, if it weren't wearing an eye-popping appearance package. Additional homage to the Focus RS can be found in the blazing blue and orange front fascia and bumpers, while 20-inch wheels make sure the wider (four-inches in front and six-inches in the back) Transit Connect sits just right. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder-engine that powers the Hot Wheels TC ensures that the concept is more show than go, but you probably had that pegged from your first look, anyway.

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).

Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
