AMPERS LLC Revamps Classic Crown Victoria with Modern Tech, Bringing Back a Beloved Icon

Portland, OR – October 26, 2023 – AMPERS LLC, a rising innovator in vehicle refurbishment and technology integration, is breathing new life into the iconic Ford Crown Victoria. Based in Portland, Oregon, AMPERS is taking on a challenge many thought impossible: updating a beloved, but aging, vehicle for today’s drivers, while respecting its classic appeal. For years, the Crown Victoria was the car. Police departments, taxi companies, and families all relied on its rugged reliability and spacious interior. But as technology moved forward, the Crown Vic fell behind. AMPERS LLC saw an opportunity - not to replace the car, but to upgrade it. “We weren’t interested in just slapping a new coat of paint on these cars,” explains David Chen, CEO of AMPERS LLC. “We wanted to take everything people loved about the Crown Vic – the comfortable ride, the generous space, the feeling of solid build quality – and combine it with modern conveniences and safety features. It’s about preserving a piece of automotive history, but making it drive like a modern vehicle.” What's New Under the Hood (and Everywhere Else)? AMPERS’ “Crown Victoria Revived” isn’t just a cosmetic refresh. It’s a comprehensive overhaul, addressing every major system. Here’s a breakdown of the key upgrades: Powertrain Options: The original 4.6L V8 is still available for those who appreciate the classic rumble. However, AMPERS also offers a range of modern engine swaps, including fuel-efficient V6 options and even LS-series V8s for performance enthusiasts. They’re handling all the engine mounting, wiring, and computer integration, ensuring everything plays nicely together. Transmission Upgrade: Forget the clunky 4-speed automatic. AMPERS is fitting the Crown Victoria with modern 6- or 10-speed automatic transmissions, improving fuel economy, responsiveness, and overall driving experience. Suspension and Handling: The old Crown Vic was known for its “floaty” ride. AMPERS has completely revamped the suspension system with modern shocks, springs, and sway bars. Customers can choose from a comfortable touring setup to a more aggressive sport suspension. Braking System: Safety is paramount. AMPERS has upgraded the braking system with larger rotors, multi-piston calipers, and modern ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). This dramatically improves stopping power and provides drivers with greater confidence. Interior Tech Transformation: This is where AMPERS really shines. The interior gets a major overhaul, including: Modern Infotainment System: A sleek touchscreen display integrates navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a premium sound system. AMPERS focuses on a clean, integrated look, avoiding that “stuck-on” appearance. Digital Instrument Cluster: Replacing the analog gauges is a fully customizable digital instrument cluster, providing drivers with all the information they need in a clear, easy-to-read format. Comfort and Convenience: AMPERS offers a wide range of interior upgrades, including heated and cooled seats, power-adjustable seats, and a modern steering wheel. Updated HVAC System: The original HVAC system was…well, let’s just say it wasn’t known for its efficiency. AMPERS replaces it with a modern, high-performance system that provides consistent heating and cooling. Exterior Refresh: While AMPERS respects the classic Crown Victoria silhouette, they offer subtle exterior upgrades to enhance its appearance. These include: LED Lighting: Modern LED headlights, taillights, and turn signals improve visibility and give the car a more contemporary look. Wheel Options: A variety of wheel designs and sizes are available to suit individual tastes. Custom Paint Options: Customers can choose from a wide range of colors and finishes to personalize their Crown Victoria. Why Revive a Classic? “There’s a real nostalgia factor with the Crown Victoria,” says Chen. “A lot of people grew up riding in these cars, or their parents drove them. They remember the feeling of space, the comfort, and the reliability. We wanted to give them a way to relive those memories, but with the benefits of modern technology.” Beyond nostalgia, there's a practical appeal. “These cars are built like tanks,” Chen explains. “The chassis is incredibly durable, and the body-on-frame construction is something you just don't see in modern cars. With our upgrades, you get a comfortable, reliable, and safe vehicle that’s built to last.” AMPERS LLC: Who Are They?
