1974 Ford E100 Supervan Econoline V8, Automatic, Power Steering And A/c on 2040-cars
McMinnville, Oregon, United States
1974 Ford Econoline E-100 in original, unrestored condition. Factory 302 V8, Automatic Trans, factory Power Steering, factory A/C. This E100 is in running and driving condition but it has spent more time sitting than driving since the 1990s. Odometer reads 27000. I believe that 127000 is correct but I have no written proof supporting that. The engine starts up easy and runs well although the alternator light flickers when idling. The power steering system works but does leaks a small puddle after its parked. It may be leaking while driving as well. The leak appears to be from one of the power steering hoses but the leak could be coming from elsewhere. The factory a/c system is complete up to the discharge vent on the bulkhead behind the driver seat and seems to just barely blow cold. The non-power brakes work well and the drums have very little miles on them. The previous owner stated the transmission and brakes were rebuilt less than 500 miles ago but I have no written proof of that. The trans case looks clean as if it were rebuilt recently and it does shifts well. It has a very nicely made dual exhaust system that sounds good. Tires hold air and have tread but are older and should be replaced before regular use. All instruments work except for the gas gauge which was working when I bought it. Most of the lights, heater, wipers all work. Ignition and all exterior locks work with the same key. The windshield has a significant crack in it and will need to be replaced. This van will need a thorough examination of all systems before it should be used as everyday driver. That being said I recommend that the van should be trailered or shipped. The body is fairly straight for a 40 year old van but it does have minor dents, scratches and some very light surface rust. Paint is older but not original. It has some body damage around the right rear tail light area. This van was converted into a camper in 1970s by the original owner. For sanitary reasons I have removed all of the old paneling, carpet and insulation and high pressure washed the interior. Due to being a camper it does have many small holes on the inside framing of the van from screws used to attach the paneling and some light adhesive residue from the insulation material behind the paneling. It also had a vent in the roof at one point which has been removed. A patch was made using the roof of another van and it was welded in place. It could use more finish grinding on the welded bead to be flush and some professional hammer and dolly work to be perfect but since it is not visible from the ground it has not been done. It was painted with a closely matching color on the outside and black body sealer inside. Despite the description above this van would make an excellent candidate for a full or partial restoration. It is uncommon to find one these 2nd generation panel vans in a condition that is similar to how they came from the factory i.e. not cut up, customized or driven into the ground. It has a very desirable option package not normally found in an E100s that makes driving it more hospitable. I bought this van to restore at a later time but I have come across another project I am more interested in so I am selling a few of my vehicles. This van is being sold as is, where is with no warranty written, expressed or implied. It is the buyers responsibility to perform all due diligence before bidding. It has a clear Oregon title in my name. I will not accept Paypal for payment. I will accept cash in hand at pickup or a cashiers check from a certified bank mailed in advance to allow time for funds to clear. Funds must clear before the van leaves my possession. I will willing to hold the van for up to a month after the auction has closed if that will help you. Once again, NO PAYPAL! The van is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Please contact me via ebay if you have any questions or would pictures of something specific. |

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost
Fri, 16 May 2014Earlier this week, Ford invited us to Charlotte, NC, to ride in an all-new 2015 Mustang fitted with its turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. It's the first forced-induction, four-cylinder ponycar for the Blue Oval since the sun set on the 1986 Mustang SVO. We jumped at the opportunity, as only a handful of people have ever been in the passenger seat of this new car, and most automotive media won't get as close as we did until this fall.
As we revealed in our Deep Dive, Ford will slot this new turbocharged four as premium powerplant between its naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 and the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. At last mention, the automaker said the direct-injected, all-aluminum engine will develop 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, returning the best fuel economy of the three powerplants in the process. History buffs will note that those figures are appreciably stouter than the 200 horses and 240 lb-ft that the '86 SVO realized out of the same displacement, and the latter's figures were hugely impressive at the time. On paper, the new EcoBoost four looks to be a good fit for most owners who want to balance performance with efficiency - we were eager to see how it felt from the passenger seat.
Riding Notes
Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII
Fri, 17 May 2013Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.
