Cvpi P71 Crown Vic - Best Color Combo - New Interior - Every Available Option on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
Up for sale is a beautiful 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (CVPI) P71 Package with a Clear Texas Title in-hand. This is a highly reliable, powerful, and economical (28 mpg HWY) car. It has never left me stranded, starts on the first try every time, and does not leak. It drives straight and smooth, the AC blows cold, and it is regularly detailed (I'm an ex-detailer). The transmission is strong and crisp (zero slips in any gear). The VIN is 2FAFP71V48X142816
This CVPI is finished out in one of the rarest, yet most desirable color combos, Medium Gray Metallic over Black. I waited for months for this combo before purchasing this particular one. This P71 was retired from active duty by a Georgia Sheriff's Department less than 6,000 miles ago (January 2013). During that tenure, it was municipality maintained; now, currently professionally maintained and cleaned regularly. Being a southern car (first Georgia, now Texas), there is no rust on this vehicle. This car passed inspection last month with flying colors. For the wear items, I estimate there is 50% life left on the tires (OEM Goodyears) and 60% left on the brakes. There are no lights or police equipment in this vehicle. The spotlight and extra dome (ticket) light are legal. The antennas are dummies and the other roof holes have been plugged with color-matched PVC plastic plugs. This P71 is loaded with every available option at the time, including:
The recent upgrades and repairs are:
While this is a great example of a late-model P71, it is not perfect. There are some areas that are worth noting.
Please review all of the pictures thoroughly and ask any questions you may have. I tried to be as honest as I could with this description. This car has served me well for the past 18 months. Shortly after purchasing, I began working from home (hence the low mileage since purchasing) and no longer have a need for two vehicles. It will be hard to part with-as the car is reliable, comfortable, and strong. It provided free security for my home and neighbors, just from sitting in the driveway. These cars go for 300k+ miles when used as taxis and I have no doubt that this will be one of those examples. |

Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.
Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer
Fri, 13 Dec 2013To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
