Ok, I know they made the Townies in a long wheelbase, but check this out http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DEDIC...item2eb6adbd2c I've never seen a long WB Vic before. Its also a CNG conversion, which is pretty popular in CA from what I understand.

optioned up? it has vinyl seats and no cruise control. from the history report on eBay, it appears to be a fleet type car (possibly built as a taxi) and used by Ford early in its life as a CNG test mule, which means it was never put into service. then it was sold almost a year later at auction and ended up in California. I have heard about the CNG extended range tank option, but have never seen it installed on a production vehicle, maybe this is the only one, hence the test mule status. I would guess this owner or the previous owner has added the LX sport wheels. too bad there are NO CNG stations near me, or I would be all over it. according to www.cngprices.com, CNG prices near knoxville TN are around $1.50 per gallon2003 Town Car Signature - 3.27 RAR, Dual exhaust and J-mod - SOLD 9/2011

I am fully aware there are CNG Crown Vics, we had a fleet of them of the local utility where I worked (along with other Ford and Dodge vehicles, mostly trucks)Originally posted by 86VickyLX View Post
I am saying I have never seen one with the extended tank option this guy is mentioning. I had heard about it, but have never seen it installed in a production vehicle.
btw... this particular is a factory CNG car, not an aftermarket conversion.2003 Town Car Signature - 3.27 RAR, Dual exhaust and J-mod - SOLD 9/2011

it's rare in the sense that most of them were complete strippers and beat to death. A decent looking one that hasn't been through the wringer is pretty cool.

These are factory CNGs also. Camden's too cheap to pay for conversions.Originally posted by 88grandmarq View PostComment

Very nifty - I've heard of extended-wheelbase Vics but never seen a picture of one.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

They are plentiful in NYC. The other thing about NYC, is that there are alot of new cabs; most of them are not retired police cars.
