1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 55A Police Package Sedan: Arizona Highway Patrol Show Car

 

This is a genuine 55A Police Package sedan with the optional 5.8L (351-ci) 2V V-8 police engine

Originally a Burlington, NC unmarked administrator's vehicle, this car now proudly wears the uniform of the Arizona Highway Patrol.

I am an avid police car collector and this is my 6th restoration. I spared no expense turning this 25-year old cruiser into a show winner.

This car is a regular at car shows in metro Detroit and has won several awards. 

 

I have owned this car since 2010. To date, over $9,000 invested in this battle-tested beauty including:

 

Newly rebuilt engine!! Completed in March, 2012, the long block is bored 0.030” over - now 357 cubic inches. Also, new oil pump, water pump, fuel pump, radiator, alternator,

                                       heater core, starter, R-134 A/C conversion, coolant reservoir, heater hoses, distributor, Duraspark II engine control box, 195F thermostat, spark plugs,

                                       and other newer parts like M+S tires, front brakes, and front and rear HD “cop” shocks.

 

New paint job!! Completed in May, 2012 this car has a glossy, clean urethane finish in Ford Oxford White.

                           This car's body is in excellent shape with virtually no rust on the panels, frame, undercarriage, or door jams.

 

Loaded interior!! It comes with all the luxury power features most fleet cars didn’t get: Seats, Windows, Mirrors, and full carpeting.

                              No cracks or serious wear marks & everything works including the ICE COLD A/C. 

 

Ready for car shows!! Fully marked with lights and sirens!! Comes with Arizona Highway Patrol decals and dummy license plates, Federal Signal PA-200 siren,

                                       Motorola radio console, rear PAR 46 red/amber lights, wigwag headlights, front red light, switch panel, working radar unit, 140 MPH speedometer,

                                       and the special auxiliary gauge pkg. (oil, water, volts).

                                       (All decals and lights are magnetic and removable for regular driving around town or cruising to shows).

 

She’s ready to roll anywhere!! I drove it to Chicago, Philadelphia, and North Carolina just last year! 

**Please note: This car has the original **Variable Venturi** carburetor (which can be fussy at times), but always starts and runs.

Also, the heater works but it does not work well. It would be unsuitable to drive during the winter.

Finally, this is a 25-year old former police car with outdated and worn mechanical technology. I cannot provide any type of guarantees.

 

SPECIAL PURCHASE CONDITIONS:

**Buyer to arrange pickup and transportation.

**Only certified checks from established banking institutions or CASH will be acceptable.

**For base vehicle without police decals, lights, or equipment subtract $500 from the reserve price.

 

This show car is located in Grosse Pointe, Michigan and with winter coming it needs a good home. The Reserve price is set well below the normal listing price

for restored "police package" vehicles of this era. This is a great opportunity to get into the show car hobby without having to spend a small fortune.

This car wins just as many awards as vintage muscle cars that cost 10 times as much to restore, insure, and maintain.

 

Thank you for reading my description. Good luck.

Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
