Vehicle Detail
You are viewing a beautiful, loaded 2005 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. Recently out of service from a smaller midwestern county, this is a nice example of a hard to find car in a very rare and desirable color. In my years of buying and selling police vehicles, I have had very few cars that come close to the condition of these units, they were well maintained and needed no repairs. These were one-driver cars, assigned to one Deputy throughout the life of the car. For those of you who know, that makes all of the difference in the world when it comes to how the cars are maintained and treated. It is finished in Arizona Beige Metallic with Light Camel cloth interior including; cruise control, rare cloth front AND rear seats and factory AM/FM/Cassette stereo. This car has only 109,763 actual, original miles on it. It has been extremely well-maintained and it shows. It has never been smoked in or otherwise abused. The body is straight, clean and the paint is very nice. There is no previous accident damage or paintwork on this car that we are aware of...it has a 100% clean AutoCheck report. There are no holes or tears in the bumper covers and it never had a push bumper installed. Cars like this one are becoming increasingly harder to find, so here's your opportunity if you've been looking for a really nice one. All of the factory floor mats are in place and in good condition. This unit is very nice inside and out and is clean under the hood as well...the engine compartment is very nice (please see the pictures). For those of you who know Crown Victorias, you will know that 2004 and newer are the years to have...they are the fastest Crown Victorias produced due to many changes in the intake system. Previously, the Police Interceptor produced 239 horsepower, but the 2004-newer Police Interceptor increased that number to 250 horsepower due to the addition of a new "Marauder" air intake system. This included a new airbox that resembles the Mercury Marauder airbox (raised airbox lid, deeper bottom), with a new, larger, integrated 80 mm (3.1 in) mass airflow (MAF) sensor that is part of the airbox lid. This allows for much more precise flow calibration and reduces the chances of air leakage. The P71 zip tube (the flexible rubber hose between the throttle body and MAF outlet) is also used to reduce NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) as well as transfer air from the airbox to the throttle body with minimal flow resistance. These are the Crown Victorias afficianados lust after, and this is an unmolested example. Everything works properly, the air-conditioning is ice-cold, and it is very responsive, smooth-shifting and, of course, fast. This is a factory, all Arizona Beige Metallic car, not a re-painted color change like you will see for sale elsewhere. It is equipped with cruise control, power windows, power mirrors, power locks, air-conditioning, Ford factory AM/FM/Cassette stereo, tilt wheel, power trunk release and, of course, the full "Police Interceptor" package which includes the 4.6-liter H.O. engine, 4-speed overdrive heavy-duty transmission, 3.27 "Traction Lock" limited-slip rear axle, noise suppression bond straps, driver's side spot lamp (new style Unity), lateral bow (roof) reinforcement, 16" Good Year Eagle RS-A Plus police-spec, ultra-high performance radials that are mounted on the factory, heavy-duty, 16" vented police wheels with full, factory chrome wheel covers, stainless-steel dual exhaust with factory crossover pipe, aluminum driveshaft, special police-spec heavy-duty frame, 4-wheel disc brakes, suspension, stab-proof seats with power lumber support, certified 140-mph speedometer, and much more. E-Bay may, incorrectly, list these cars with power seats but, typically, they do not have them...this one does not. This unit is in excellent overall condition, has been very well-maintained and has very little of the normal wear and tear you would expect to find on a used police vehicle. This typically includes; holes in the roof from antennas (we make sure they are plugged correctly on all vehicles sold), scratches, chips, nicks, dings (any major damage will be noted in the description such as large dents, etc.)...that being said, this car has no known mechanical defects and it runs and drives excellent. Please, keep in mind, we strive to find the nicest used police vehicles possible, but they are still used police vehicles. This is a very nice driving, tight car...not a beat-up city car. DON'T PASS THIS ONE UP. 2005 MODELS ARE VERY, VERY HARD TO FIND AND I DOUBT YOU WILL SEE ANOTHER FOR SALE IN THE NEAR FUTURE IN THIS CONDITION, IF AT ALL, AT NO RESERVE. As with all of our auctions, this is a no reserve sale. This 2005 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor will sell to the high bidder at the end of the auction, please complete all inspections BEFORE bidding...if you win the auction, you own the vehicle. Because of increasing expenses in every regard, we have been forced to raise our fees by $40, this is the first time in ten years that we have done this, so hopefully you will understand. There will be a $125 documentation fee and a $15 title fee added to each sale, these will be the ONLY additional fees you will be responsible for, unless you reside in the state of Ohio or another state in which taxes are to be collected for, in which case you will need to pay the proper amount of sales tax, based on the current rate for the county/state in which you reside. Temporary 30-day plate and registration is also available for $18.50. We do not charge any additional fees and there are no hidden charges. Most sellers are charging double this amount currently. I welcome any and all questions you might have prior to bidding on this Crown Victoria. I do reserve the right to end the auction early if the vehicle sells locally prior to the end of auction (please call if you like). I am a law-enforcement officer as well and as such, work long hours so you are free to call me as late in the evening as you like. I can be reached anytime at (614) 893-3857. I will take calls 24/7 up until the end of the auction. Winning bidder agrees to forward a 25% partial payment (unless a lesser amount is agreed upon PRIOR to the end of the auction) at end of auction via direct bank wire transfer or by overnighted cashier's check, money order or certified funds. Balance will be due within seven days of end of auction or at time of pick up or delivery, whichever comes first. I will help in any way possible to arrange transportation. I can store the vehicle for up to 90 days, until pick up can be arranged, as long as it's paid for in full. I may be able to deliver this vehicle personally, depending on your location, at a reduced rate. I have been buying, selling and driving unique, specialty vehicles for over ten years now and take pride in offering only low-mileage vehicles that are not "run of the mill", beat-up cars and trucks. I specialize in the hard to obtain cars, SUV's and trucks, Dodge 5.9 Cummins and Ford 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel trucks, police vehicles, collectible and rare cars, trucks and vans. If there are any questions at all, again, please don't hesitate to call me at (614) 893-3857. I will answer all e-mails as quickly as possible. Thanks and good luck! Because of people who bid and do not contact me or pay, I am being forced to implicate a rule pertaining to low-feedback bidders. ANY BIDDER WHO BIDS, WITH A FEEDBACK OF 5 OR LESS, WILL HAVE THEIR BID RETRACTED IMMEDIATELY unless they contact me first, prior to bidding. I hope everyone understands, and I thank our hundreds of happy customers, but a few bad apples have spoiled the proverbial bunch. Thanks for understanding. Please remember, this is a used police vehicle, and not new, although it is probably in better condition than most you will see. As such, it will have minor flaws consistent with the miles and age of the vehicle, and with police use. That being said, it is in extremely nice shape and runs & looks very good. It is not what you would typically expect, or what you will find elsewhere for sale. Please, if you want to come and look at it, do so BEFORE bidding...or call me, as always, at 614-893-3857 or e-mail me and I will answer any questions you may have. Thanks!
