Interested in a Fun, easy to drive, reliable boogie van? 


This is a '71 Ford Econoline also known as a mid-ford...considered by enthusiasts to be the ultimate in Van Culture. 

The Green parts are ORIGINAL Ford Paint. The bottom has been resprayed black and the top has been resprayed grey (to keep it cooler in the summer). There is a small amount of corrosion on the bottom body panels but not what you'd expect to see in Ohio. This Van is originally from Florida and when you crawl underneath you can tell. It's as solid as a rock. 

The Ansel Slot wheels are period correct and the tires are in excellent shape. 

Inside you'll find a pioneer mosfet head unit and a rockford fosgate amp. 

The drivers and passengers seats have been replaced with comfy seats from a conversion van and the back seat has been replaced with a sofa that electrically turns into a small bed. All of the factory seats come with the van, the Passenger and Rear bench seat are Green houndstooth and look like brand new. 

About 2000 miles ago I decided to make this a reliable rally wagon so I went through the entire van and upgraded everything for maximum reliability. 

Here's the build sheet:
302 Motor (factory) all new seals
New Mustang Heads and Pistons (high compression 10.2:1) So you can run it on modern gas, no lead additive needed. 
Forged rollers and rockers
Edelbrock intake manifold 
Holley 650 Carb
MSD electronic ignition
Doug Thorley Custom Econoline Headers
Functional Sidepipes, correctly routed and wrapped
New Clutch 
Air Adjustable TRW rear shocks
New Front Shocks and Springs
Class 3 Trailer hitch (direct to frame, could pull ANYTHING)
3.25 Gears (this is great, because although you won't smoke the tires, you'll cruise at 70 on the freeway, no problem)
Rebuilt steering box
New Gearshift linkage 

Let me stress, you can drive this van RIGHT NOW, and you can drive it HARD, fly here, buy it and drive it home to California. I have driven it on several multi state trips in the past 2 years.  It handles exactly like it should, no shimmy, no shake, no lack of power and no weird noises or smells. If you haven't driven 3 on the tree before, it's a hoot and really sends you back in time. This van has manual series which means on the modern, wide tires can be a workout at parking speeds, but it's fine at normal driving speeds. 4 wheel drum manual brakes mean you'll need more foot than you're used to, but when you stomp down hard, you can stand this thing on it's nose. 

Stuff it will need: 

I recommend a window seal kit / weatherstripping - these kits are available on Ebay for around $60-$90. This van only goes out on sunny days and lives in a garage the rest of the time, so it hasn't been an issue for me. 

The windshield is scratched up pretty badly (it's 40 years old) I priced it out and safelite will come to your house and change it for $280, but it's covered by most insurance policies.

The interior is pretty patchwork, there's a tapestry on the ceiling and most of the original trim is present, the carpet on the floor needs replaced but there are some cool aviation style map lights along the ceiling. I would think the new owner would completely shag out the interior. 

I bought this van to tow my '69 Airstream 17' Trailer that I was going to restore. I lost interest in the trailer and never ended up taking it anywhere with the van and sold the trailer last year. I am in absolutely NO hurry to sell this van, but i'd like to park a boat in the spot it's currently occupying. 

What you'll get: 

You'll get the Van, as it sits, owners manual and factory books, the original passenger seat and bench seat, a full tank of gas, the clean title and the Historical Plates to drive it home on. There are no warranties implied or expressed. Test rides will be with me in the drivers seat and must be arranged BEFORE the end of the auction. 

You are responsible for the transportation / shipping of this van. I live only 25 minutes away from the CLE airport and will happily pick you up there, show you around the van and send you on your way. Feel free to have a local representative come out and inspect the van for you...I'm not kidding when I say it's solid, and ready to go. The winner will pay a $500 Non-Refundable Deposit to Paypal  and I will hold the van at no additional charge for up to two weeks while you get transportation together.

Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year

Sat, Dec 27 2014

It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change. Other News And Views 1984 Audi Sport Quattro heads for the auction block If you're into '80s rally cars, you're really a car person. But if you're into that stuff – and we are – this 1984 Audi Sport Quattro is sure to get your blood flowing.

Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]

Wed, Jul 2 2014

As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 – that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot Wheels® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.
