Ford Crown Victoria (2003)
for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

This ultra clean 2003 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (P71 pkg) has 73k miles. I purchased this car in December of 2008 as an ex-GSA government vehicle with 31k miles. It was sold through Brasher’s auto auction in Sacramento, CA. I am the second owner of the vehicle and have performed all maintenance since 31K miles. It had the transmission flushed soon after purchase, and I have changed the engine oil every 5k miles, always using Valvoline or Mobil 1 synthetic oil.
This 2003 Crown Victoria features many improvements over the previous model year. These include a multi-link rear suspension with watts-link, which handles much better than the previous four-link rear suspension. The front suspension is revised, with coil-over shocks and aluminum lower control arms. Rack and pinion steering replaced the outdated, ultra-vague steering box and link steering from 2002 and earlier. The 4.6L V-8 has the “PI” (improved performance) top end, making more low-end torque and more horsepower than earlier versions (239 HP).
Modifications to the car include 2005 Mustang “fan blade” wheels with 255/45/zr18 BFGoodrich GForce KDWS tires. The tires were installed 4 years and 15k miles ago. There is 75% tread left on these tires. If you know anything about tires, you will recognize that these are expensive, high performance tires. They completely change the character of the Crown Victoria and drastically improve steering response, cornering stability, and braking performance. These tires are outstanding in wet conditions.
The front brakes have been replaced with Hawk HPS pads and Power Slot rotors. A 2005 Crown Victoria “zip tube” has been installed. This tube is larger diameter and smoother than the stock 2003 intake tube, and provides a slight increase in performance. The spark plugs were changed with Motorcraft platinum plugs at 32K miles. An OEM CD player head unit out of a late model Ford has been installed as well.
Included with the car will be Hawk HPS rear brake pads and Power Slot rear rotors. I will also include an OEM 21mm rear anti-roll bar from a Crown Victoria Sport. It is new, unused, and includes the bushings required to install it. This will reduce understeer and improve overall handling. I simply never had time to install these parts.
This car is extremely reliable; all switches and controls function properly.
There are some very minor flaws with the car that I want to be 100% honest about so there are no complaints from the winning bidder. All of these discrepancies are shown in the photographs. There is a rub on the driver side front bumper corner, and the corner marker light has a small crack at the bottom. There is a rub on the passenger side rear bumper corner. It has been touched up and buffed out so it is not very noticeable. There are two antenna holes in the roof that have been plugged with silicone sealant and white plastic plugs. There are no leaks in the roof. I have touched up the paint in three places where the factory paint chipped off. I blended and buffed out the touch-up, and the flaws are not noticeable from more than five feet away. There are two holes in the dash trim where a microphone was mounted when in service with the GSA. I removed the body side molding on the doors and covered the holes in the rear doors with adhesive tape (shown in pics). The stock moldings will be in the trunk if you want to reattach them.
This car has not had any body panels replaced and has never been in an accident. I have been underneath and through every part of this car and can confirm that it has not been wrecked.
Make no mistake, this is a very clean, well cared for, garage kept vehicle (last 7 years). It is not perfect, but I believe it is just about the cleanest prior-service Crown Victoria Police Interceptor you will find. That is why I sold my old Crown Vic and bought this one in 2008. I had big plans for this car. I wanted to do a manual transmission swap using a Marauder center console, head and cam swap, suspension and brake upgrades. But, being active duty Military with two young children has limited my time for project vehicles. With a classic Ford diesel truck and CJ-7 already in the barn, I do not have the time to make this vehicle into what I want it to be. So, I have decided to sell my beloved Crown Victoria while it is a relatively low mileage example. I am also moving across the country very soon, so I want to sell the vehicle now to avoid shipping fees.
I have many other parts that I was going to use in the build of this car. Please contact me if you are interested in any of the following parts. These ARE NOT included with the auction, but are available as a separate purchase.
-Mercury Marauder air box w/ MAF – New, in box

After July 25th, the vehicle can been picked up from Coos Bay, or I can arrange for pickup in Forest Grove, OR, which is only 40 minutes outside Portland, OR.

This vehicle is sold AS-IS with NO warranty. I have gone to great lengths to repair all mechanical problems with the car. It runs perfectly. I have explained all discrepancies with the body and paint of the car. The interior is VERY clean and does not have any offensive odors, which are very common in ex-service cars. Don’t pass up this opportunity to get a low-mileage, well maintained, late-model chassis Crown Victoria at a very good price.
