This is a NO RESERVE auction for a 2003 Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor and as with all my auctions, it is NO RESERVE. This means someone WILL own this P71 at the end of the auction! Bid to own as a TRUE auction should be! About the Crown Victoria: Durability, cost and performance are the top requirements of law enforcement agencies, fleet and cab companies. Also, office size interior space & lots of power = comfort & confidence on the freeway. The 5,424 Crown Vics sold in January 2007 far exceeded the 3,526 of the newer Ford Five Hundred which is a more technically advanced full size car with similar passenger space and better fuel economy. It won the Editor's Most Wanted Vehicle in the Large Sedan under $30,000 for 1999, 2001, 2002. Does 1,000,000 miles on the odometer sound strange? Read consumer reviews here About the P71: The Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (or simply P71) is the law enforcement version of the Ford Crown Victoria. Though the name has been officially in use since 1992, the 1979–1991 full-size LTDs and LTD Crown Victorias and 1992 updated body style used the "P72" production code designation for both fleet/taxi and police models. From 1993–1998, the police car models of Crown Victorias were officially known as Crown Victoria P71s. The current major design of the car was introduced in 1998. It is one of the most widely-used automobiles in North American police departments, and due to the workhorse nature of the vehicle, is also used by many taxi companies. Since Chevrolet dropped the rear-drive Caprice, Ford has had a near-monopoly on the market for police cruisers because of a preference for its conventional rear-wheel drive, V8 power, and body-on-frame construction, all popular with police driving techniques. As one of the few remaining passenger cars with body-on-frame, it is rugged, and enables inexpensive repairs after minor accidents without the need to straighten the chassis - an important benefit for a car frequently used by police forces for PIT maneuvers (ramming a car to spin it out) - making it preferable to unibody vehicles. Although the Police Interceptor is not sold to the general public, these cars are widely available on the used car market in the US and Canada once they are no longer needed for law enforcement or fleet duty. When these cars are built they come equipped with a heavy duty transmission, heavy duty brakes, a roll bar, and a 250HP engine. Used Police Interceptors are normally stripped of any police decals, radio and computer equipment and emergency lights by law enforcement agencies before being sold or auctioned.
