1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 'Police Interceptor' This vehicle is being relisted due to a non-paying bidder. Please, only make an offer if you intent to purchase the vehicle at that particular price. Description has been edited, so please read thoroughly! Up for auction is my 1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria. This car is an original police package vehicle with the 'P72' VIN code and the rare and desirable 351 Windsor engine. I purchased it just over two years ago from a collector in southern Pennsylvania. He bought this vehicle in 1995 from the state police auction and kept it in a dry warehouse for almost 20 years. It was only taken out of storage shortly before it was sold to me. I have spent the past two years restoring, maintaining and enjoying this car but I no longer can afford to keep two vehicles. So without further ado... This Crown Victoria is very clean inside and out. The paintjob is original and shows a few blemishes here and there, but has a decent shine overall and not many scratches. Please note that the color of the driver's door is just a slight shade off from the rest of the car, so this part was probably repainted at one point. The car was never a marked patrol vehicle - probably more like a chief's or high-ranking officer's car. There is only one antenna hole - it is in the trunk lid but is plugged with a flush rubber stopper. The original chrome wheel covers are in remarkable condition considering their age. The glass all around is in very good shape, with the exception of a tiny chip and some pitting of the windshield. Also, the front windows get stuck when rolling down and up, so the tracks should be adjusted. There are a few dents in the roof but these are not terribly noticeable, nor are they deep. The tan velour interior is much cleaner than average, with no rips or holes, and just a few light discolorations at most. The heavy-duty rubber flooring is in very good shape too and shines beautifully when wiped with product, as I have always done. The dashboard is shiny and has not a single crack in it. It also retains the original Pennsylvania State Trooper's maintenance schedule placard. There are no odors inside and no leaks into the cabin. Also, the original spare tire, jack and tire iron are intact in the trunk. Under the hood, the 351W engine is in tip-top running condition. I will list below all the care and maintenance that has been done. This car starts readily, idles smoothly and drives and shifts like you would expect it to when it was new. It cruises at any speed very well and has lots of power which you can feel most significantly when passing on the highway. There are no fluid leaks - the oil, coolant, and brake fluid all stay at consistent levels.

The throttle valve cable that controls the transmission shift points has also been precisely adjusted for optimal performance. This car has been lots of fun over the past two years, but it is time for someone else to enjoy her. Further things that may require attention are as follows: The odometer is not currently working (the odometer gears on these models were known to wear out or break after awhile), but the mileage is not far above 116,226 - I may have put as much as 5,000 miles on the car during my period of ownership because it was my second vehicle. Also to note: The battery light comes on when the car gets wet, but goes off once dry, and the car runs a little hot on the hotter days of the year. It does not overheat though, and may just need a bigger radiator if the new owner plans to drive this car in a hotter climate. Note: My mechanic has performed head gasket tests and said they are in fine condition with no leaks or issues. The heat blows nice and hot, but the air conditioning is not currently working. Lastly, the gas gauge in not working and I believe there is a hole in the float of the sending unit, causing it to sink to the bottom. The fuel delivery is adequate and the pressure is spot-on, but the sending unit will need to be replaced or repaired to have the gas gauge on the dashboard working again. Overall, the car is in much better shape than many of these models I have seen, but is still almost 27 years old and has some wear and a couple quirks as previously stated. That being said, this is probably the best example of a box-body 'P72' Crown Victoria I have seen on the east coast in a few years. Please bid with confidence and don't miss out on the opportunity to own this great, classic, retired police vehicle! Payment will be accepted in cash within one week of the auction's end. Before purchasing or when making an offer, please include a message so that I know you are a serious buyer. Also, if you are seriously interested but would like to look the car over in person, please contact me to set up an appointment for viewing and driving. Thank you!
