This auction is for a 1987 Ford E350 Party Bus.

PLEASE NOTE: THE PREVIOUS OWNER TO THIS VEHICLE WAS A CHURCH. THE NAME OF IT WAS PETERSBURG CHURCH OF CHRIST IN PETERSBURG ILLINOIS.

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BILL OF SALE SO YOU CAN VERIFY IT CAME FROM THE CHURCH.

We purchased this vehicle in 2011 as a wheel chair transport. We have a limousine, party bus and taxi company that services the Central Illinois Area. We purchased this vehicle so we would have something that could transport wheelchair people who cant get in our other vehicles. Our main state contract mandates that we have at least one wheel chair accessible vehicle to service those customers who are not mobile. It worked well for this type of service.

In December of 2012 we ended up finding a 15 passenger van that has a lift. It burns ALOT less fuel and can be used with little to no experience. Because this bus is so large some of our older drivers have a hard time driving it especially at night. Everything works and it passed our state mandated mechanical inspection in November 2012. Below are the items we have replaced or repaired.

- The standard seats were stained in black.

- Temp Gauge (Mechanical)

- Repair Wheel Chair Lift (Works & has been used by us in the last 12 months)

- Newer Paint Job (This was done with a high volume sprayer so its not perfect. The windows are all clean but expect to have to do some touch up each year because of the fiberglass shell.)

PLEASE READ THE BELOW INFO:

WE REMOVED THE SEATS BECAUSE WE SEALED THE FLOOR WITH AN EXPOXY SOLUTION. THIS MAKES THE FLOOR COMPLETELY BLACK AND IT LOOKS AWSOME! WE HAVE NOT PUT THE SEATS BACK IN AS THEY WERE ORIGINALLY. WE WERE PLANNING ON CREATING A WRAP AROUND PARTY BUS SEATING STYLE. IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO BUILD A NICE BENCH THAT WRAPPED AROUDN THE BUS YOU COULD FIT 20-25 PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE. WE USED IT PRIMARILY FOR A WHEELCHAIR VEHICLE/BACKUP TO OUR MAIN FLEET.

This vehicle would make a good party bus, extra bus, backup vehicle or cargo transport vehicle. We used it alot from moving parts from the stores to the garage. Just putting 200-300 bucks into the seating would make a really nice bus. Its truly in good shape and just needs some TLC. The motor is low milage and the other options all work perfectly.(With the exception of the a/c compressor which will need to be replaced.) AutoZone has one for $89 bucks or you could buy one direct from Ford for $289. We like the auto-zone parts because of the lifetime warranty.

PLEASE NOTE: THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE IS FIBERGLASS AND ALUMINUM SO IT WILL NEVER RUST!!!!!

This would make a nice bus for a new limo company as well.

If you have any questions please feel free to send us a message or email us: ceo@peoriafivestartaxi.com.

Thanks!!!!!

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals

Sun, Mar 3 2024

EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment. But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
