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.

1987 Ford Party Bus E350 
Mileage: Under 100K
Engine Type: V8
Passengers: 15-20
Fuel Type: Regular 87 Gas (NON DESIEL)
Exterior Color: White
Interior Color: Black/White
Lighting: Soft White
Tires: 75% or more

Recent Repairs:

- Newer Tires in 2011
- Rear Muffler Repair
- Transmission Flush
- Top Engine Flush
- Newer Batteries for COLD START
- Block Warmer )For cold starts.)
- 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!!!!!

Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."

Autoblog's June 2019 Editors' Picks

Wed, Jul 10 2019

Each year we review, test and rate hundreds of brand-new cars, trucks and SUVs. We rate these vehicles using the Autoblog score, giving a select few our Editors’ Pick. Here are the best cars we drove in June 2019. 2019 BMW 8 Series Everyone on the Autoblog staff loves a good grand tourer, so we were excited to get behind the wheel of the revived BMW 8 Series, specifically an M850i Coupe. A good GT needs to be as fast as it is stylish and comfortable, and the new 8 Series delivers. We particularly like the 523-horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8Â’s copious power and smooth ride quality, even on MichiganÂ’s pockmarked post-winter roads. We dig the interior design, too, though not everyone was in love with the exterior. ItÂ’s not the best-handling car in its class, and doesnÂ’t hide its sizable proportions very well, but itÂ’s still worth a look if youÂ’re looking for a big, fast cruiser.  2019 Ford Expedition Crossovers may be the hottest vehicles on the market, but thereÂ’s still a sizable demand for traditional body-on-frame SUVs like the Ford Expedition. These behemoths offer plenty of space in addition to truck-like capability. We like the Expedition's smooth ride, powerful twin-turbo V6 and sharp exterior design, though the interior can feel a bit cheap, especially on some of the more expensive trims. Adding options quickly puts it into Lincoln Navigator territory, and itÂ’s hard to recommend the Ford over the Lincoln when the latter packs the same capability into a far nicer package. Still, the Expedition is as good or better than the competition in most respects, and thatÂ’s why itÂ’s one of our picks. 2019 Toyota 86 Few cars at any price point are as much fun as the Toyota 86 (and its twin, the Subaru BRZ). We like the 86Â’s balanced chassis and sharp steering, and while itÂ’s not as nimble as its close rival the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the ToyotaÂ’s back seat and trunk make it a more usable vehicle. But while we like the 86Â’s driving position, the rest of the interior feels cheap and dated, especially the infotainment system. We complained about the anemic powertrain back in 2012, and itÂ’s only gotten worse as the years have gone by.

Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
