Ex-Bondurant Cobra-engined Roush Ford Crown Victoria - Click above for high-res image gallery
We're aching for some seat time in the the new Ford Police Interceptor (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford+police+interceptor), but given our choice of flogging one of the new-school bruisers or one of the old-school cruisers, we know which one we'd take. And it just happened to appear on eBay Motors. Used as an ex-Bondurant (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bondurant) Driving School car, this 1999 Crown Victoria (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/crown+victoria) is just one of eighteen cars built by Roush for Bob Bondurant's school. Number 15, to be precise.
Under the hood sits a 320-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 engine plucked from the 1999 Ford Mustang Cobra (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mustang+cobra). The typical police-issue slushbox has been nixed in favor of the T45 five-speed manual normally reserved for SVT (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/svt) Cobra duty. The front and rear suspension setup features Eibach springs and solid sway bars, and the go-fast action can be brought to a quicker halt thanks to a set of Brembo rotors, Hawk pads and Baer steel-braided brake lines. The car is also fitted with a Corbeau driver's seat and five-point safety harness, four-point harnesses for the other seats and a fully-integrated roll cage. If that isn't enough, this potential super-sleeper has a Halon fire suppression system should things get a little warm in the cabin.
The good news is that you can put this car in your driveway by parting with 20,000 of your hard-earned dollars, or perhaps somewhat less if you're a savvy bidder. The bad news? it's not street legal. It's a purpose-built machine for Bondurant and has never been registered or titled. Track beater anyone?
Hop on over to eBay to see the listing (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Roush-Bondurant-Cobra-Vic-/330471788309?pt=Race_Cars_Not_Street_Legal_&hash=item4cf1a74f15#ht_4282wt_1165) to see the specs and hop the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/14/ebay-find-of-the-day-ex-bondurant-cobra-engined-roush-ford-crow/) to see this big black beast in action.
