Orange City, Florida, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Ford
Drive Type: RWD
Model: E-Series Van
Mileage: 987,654
Trim: Custom
99.9% RUST FREE!!!
This classic van runs and drives. The fuel tank needs to be cleaned, but we have driven it all over on a gas can.
I have it at my Shop in Orange City Florida. I am closing the business down and have to eliminate some projects.
This is going with no reserve, so please bid responsibly.
Here are the specifics.
BODY:
The body is in 99.9% rust free condition. It is extremely solid and rust free. I brought it out from Phoenix Arizona and planned on doing it up right, but things happen.
PAINT:
Needs complete paint.
RUST:
Basically zero rust. This is super solid!!! Great project.
INTERIOR:
Everything is there, but to be a show van it needs to be redone.
ENGINE:
Solid running 300ci 6 cylinder engine. Runs great.
TRANSMISSION:
Automatic transmission. It drives well. If it sits for months, it will leak a little fluid out and not move to begin with. I do not see any obvious leaks, but that is what happens. If it is used regularly, it works fine.
TIRES:
Needs tires and custom rims in my opinion.
TITLE:
Clean and Clear Arizona title.
STORAGE:
If the car is paid for in full I will store the van for up to 3 months free of charge. I will not take any responsibility for anything that may happen to the car during this time.
SHIPPING:
I will assist in loading the car, but all costs associated with the shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. I do occasionally drive from Arizona to Florida and back. If we come to an agreement, I can deliver the car anywhere along the I-10 for a previously agreed upon price. Call first to make a deal.
QUESTIONS:
Feel free to ask any questions. You can call me at 602-625-1579 Thanks, Pete

How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
You can now order Domino's pizza from your Sync-equipped Ford
Tue, 07 Jan 2014
The news keeps pouring in from the Consumer Electronics Show now underway in Las Vegas, and the latest comes from Ford which has announced two new apps for its Sync AppLink system.
First up is a cooperative app launched by Ford together with Domino's Pizza that lets drivers of the former order pizza from the latter right from their car. The service allows those with Ford Sync AppLink in their car or truck and are registered with a Domino's Pizza Profile to place an order for their favorite pie using Dearborn's voice-recognition software for either pickup or delivery. Save your information in your Pizza Profile and it'll be sent to your house without even the push of a button, which strikes us as awesome a use of technology as we've ever seen.
Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
