2009 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor P71 Description

Up for sale is this very strong 2009 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. Dark style interior, and very low idle hours (1889h), make this one of the best ex-police cruisers you can buy.
Very strong running, solid car. I purchased it from the Monroe County Sheriffs Office in Key West, Fl. Clear title. Monroe County is only the Florida Keys, not mainland Florida. There are no major cities in the Keys, only Key West, Marathon, Key Largo. That means the miles on the vehicle were primarily up and down the Overseas Hwy. These are the easiest 170K miles a P71 will ever experience, all with regular maintenance intervals.

There are few notable differences between the Police Interceptor and standard Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis. Both cars use the same Flex Fuel 4.6 L 2V SOHC V8, Ford Modular engine, and Ford 4-speed automatic transmission.
Engine and drive train:

The Police Interceptor is equipped with an external oil-to-engine-coolant oil cooler to reduce engine oil temperatures, allowing the vehicles to operate at high rpm/high loads for an extended period of time without the risk of engine oil overheating and subsequent engine damage.
The Police Interceptor engine calibration includes a slightly higher idle speed (by approximately 40 rpm) and minor changes in the emissions settings. The computer is tuned for more aggressive transmission shift points, and the transmission itself is built for firmer and harder shifts. The engine has slightly higher compression over the stock 4.6L used in non-police vehicles, at 9.6:1 vs 9.5:1. The EGR system is controlled differently on 03+ vehicles than on 03+ non-police horses.
Police Interceptors are mostly equipped with a 3.27:1 rear axle ratio (Axle code Z5) and are electronically limited to 140 mph (225 km/h) due to critical driveline speed limitations. (The weight of the vehicle with law-enforcement equipment on-board makes it highly unlikely the vehicle could ever reach speeds approching this figure however,and a flat-out figure of 122mph is the best that could be expected with the 4.6 modular V8, unless driving on an open straight for an extended period of time.). An optional 3.55:1 trac loc rear axle ratio with 120 mph speed limiter was available (Axle code X5 or C6). Pre-2006 Police Interceptors equipped with the 3.27:1 rear axle ratio were generally limited to approximately 131 mph (211 km/h). This is compares to the standard non-P71 2.73 rear axle ratio with a speed limitation of 110 mph (177 km/h) for all "civilian" Crown Victorias.[6]
Ford used an aluminum metal matrix composite driveshaft for the 1993--2005 Police Interceptors as a measure to allow safe operation at over 150 mph (241 km/h), but it was more expensive than the regular aluminum driveshafts.
Police Interceptors also have a reinforced frame and body mounts.
Body and chassis

Another difference is Ford's "severe duty" shock absorbers that offer a stiffer ride than the standard Crown Victoria. They also have black steel wheels with stainless steel or chromed plastic hubcaps.
All Police Interceptors also come with T-409 stainless steel dual exhaust systems without resonators. Standard Crown Victorias come with a stainless steel single exhaust system, while the Handling and Performance Package and LX Sport-equipped Crown Victorias have the same exhaust system as the Police Interceptor, with the resonators. The resonators further reduce noise, vibration, and harshness without adding any restriction to the exhaust system. Police Interceptors have higher-rate coil springs, approximately 0.8 inches (20.3 mm) of additional ground clearance, and thinner rear antiroll bars (shared with the LX Sport) than the Handling and Performance Package Crown Victorias; the base Crown Victoria does not have a rear antiroll bar.
On 2004 and newer models, P71s have a heavy duty 200 Amp alternator and a 78 A h battery.
Ford also offers trunk packages for equipment storage (see below), and as of 2005, has added an optional fire suppression system to the Police Interceptor.
The bulk of police car modifications, such as installation of emergency lights, sirens, passenger seat dividers, and plastic rear bench seats, are offered as aftermarket modifications by third parties.
Interior

Most Police Interceptors have a break in the front "bench seat" despite having the shifter on the steering column. This gap between seats is generally filled by a console holding radios, controls for emergency equipment, large firearms, and often a laptop computer or mobile data terminal (MDT). The Police Interceptor also has a calibrated 140 mph (225 km/h) speedometer.
On this particular unit:
All lights/signals etc. work 100%
Starts/runs/shifts strong & smooth - engine and transmission work flawlessly.
Brakes are good
No warning lights illuminated
AC blows ice cold
Heat blows hotBrand new battery
Full size spare tire
AM/FM radio works
Body is straight, paint shows exceptionally well for its age. Naturally with a used police vehicle, there are some very small chips, as well as a plugged hole in the roof where the lightbar electrical was wired through. Few screwholes in the dash, console area and decklid. No major problems.
Tires all in good condition with plenty of life left.
Vinyl floor and rear seat very easy to keep clean.
Always had regular maintenance by Monroe County Sheriff's Office, and parts are plentiful and cheap should it need be fixed.
Please see pictures attached, as they should give a good indication of vehicle condition!
Only items that don't work are the driver's side front and rear windows. Not sure if it's the switch, regulator, or motor - but I'm told it's common on these.
Buyer to provide a $200.00 deposit via paypal 24 hours after the auction ends. I will accept the remainder in cash upon pickup in Key West, or a cashiers check that will have to clear ahead of time. I will assist if you'd like to have it shipped, meaning I will meet the shipper outside and hand them the keys and paperwork.
This is an excellent example of a very strong car that should give the new owner plenty of fun and reliable transportation!
Thanks for looking, please feel free to email me if you have further questions or would like to see it in person.
