I have some spare parts i have collected for it. It has a dent in the passenger side front fender. It has a broken rear window latch I haven't been able to find a replacement for. I have it tied together with a piece of wire until I have been able to find that part. It could use a paint job but I like the patina."

This hot rod econoline has been my Family car now for the past 3 years. I've had a lot of fun with it. We recently moved to Utah from the Portland Oregon area (Vancouver, Washington). It has been to several car shows up and down the coast in Oregon and Washington. I came across it by accident. when I traded a bronco I had, it ended up being part of the deal. I wasn't to happy about it at first but after driving it the first time I was sold. Since having it I have had the transmission gone through and re sealed. I have had the brakes re done, the suspension fixed up with new bushings and shocks, It now has power steering which is a huge plus. I also put in a stereo head unit cd player with accessory port, remote, amp, 2-10" speakers in a box, 2 tweets in the dash, 2-6" speakers in the doors and, and 2 6"x9" speakers in the back. Its loud and has good quality sound. The kids love it and its loud enough my deaf daughter can feel the music. I put in some Lincoln leather seats in the front. The stock benches are still in the back they are all in great condition. I put a new head liner in it a couple years ago. Since we have been in Utah I have had new magna flow dual exhaust put on it and had the carb rebuilt. It passes safety and emissions. Its a little cold blooded but when it warms up its a monster. The 302 (5.0) has plenty of power. It is a really good cruiser on the freeway. Nice and smooth and doesn't wander. It has a nice set of slotted mags on it. The rear tires are one size taller than the front so it has a nice rake to it. I have a few more parts that are ready to go on it I just haven't had the time since moving. They will go with it if you want them. Power brake bracket, booster and master. (that setup is hard to find). A fresh re-cored 4 core radiator. (it's also bigger out of a motor home) the little radiator in it now is fine but gets a little warm for my liking. Also an extra vent, some lights and a hood. This rig is hard to find parts for, so when I have found them I got them. This is still my family car and I drive it regularly. This van is definitely outside of the norm. But its rust free and a lot of fun to drive, it gets a lot of attention.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.

Ford recalls 1.3 million Fusions, MKZs: Steering wheels could come off

Wed, Mar 14 2018

When driving a car, the steering wheel is only expected to move in a rotational fashion, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. When it moves in some other direction, something is wrong, and when it moves the wrong way enough that it is no longer attached to the steering column, that's a really, really bad thing. And apparently, according to a recall issued by Ford, there are over 1.3 million Ford Fusions and Lincoln MKZs that are at risk of this happening. And at least two accidents and one injury have been attributed to the issue. Ford says the problem is that the steering wheel bolt that keeps the wheel attached to the column might not provide enough torque, resulting in the bolt slowly loosening and working its way off the column. The good news is that the fix is really simple. Ford will install a larger bolt with more threads along with a larger nylon patch to keep it all locked down. The fix is completely free to owners. Cars affected by the recall include 2014 to 2017 Fusions built built at the Flat Rock plant in Michigan between August 6, 2013, and February 29, 2016. Model year 2014-2018 Fusions and MKZs built at the Hermosillo factory in Mexico are also affected. So if you have one of those sedans, please get in touch with your local dealer to have the issue addressed. Related Video:
