1988 Ford Econoline E150 Club Wagon.
This 1988 Ford Club Wagon was aquired around 6 years ago. When I received (Big Blue) she had a nasty exhaust leak coming from the smog pump injectors. I had the injectors removed and the openings brazed shut, the smog pump was removed, the insides of the pump were removed, the pump housing was remounted and now acts as an idler pulley.
This is my 2nd Ford Van with the inline six cylinder motor. These motors are bullet proof. My first Ford Van was a 1993 cargo van. I purchased it with 185,000 miles on it, I drove it daily to 350,000 miles and sold it in still good running condition. The reason I sold the 1993 was because the 1988 Ford Van that I am now selling was ready to become my new daily driver.
I put a rear locking differential on this van because I drive some pretty serious hills in the winter. I mounted studded tires in the rear and she claws her way thru the snow like nobody's business. The van originally came from Maryland, she had very little rust when I got her, she spent the next 5 years in a covered garage just sitting, waiting to be put into the lineup. The first winter she saw with salt was this past winter, I had the undercarriage sprayed using Carwell in Buffalo. Carwell is a GREAT product, they spray all the local school busses, FedEx & UPS trucks, they also spray military vehicles to protect them from rusting.
I drove this van to Idaho and back last summer 2012. She never missed a beat until the return trip in Indiana. I had to replace the fuel pump on the frame rail. I replaced it and the fuel filter and she was back on the road in no time. She purrs like a kitten every day, never misses a start, one quick turn of the key and she is ready to roll.
This van is a great daily driving van, the only reason I am selling it is because I bought another Ford Van.
I equipped "Big Blue" with Bilstein Shock absorbers at all four corners, Bilstein shocks for these vans cost $100.00 per shock, they are worth it, they provide a very predictable, comfortable, safe ride. I also installed a K&N rechargeable air filter.
I am selling this van with all the tires and rims I have for it. You'll get 4 Mastercraft Courser A/T 235/75/15 tires, 2 MasterCraft Courser A/T 205/75/15 Studded Tires, 1 Michelin LTX 235/75/15 Tire. 5 stock Ford steel rims 15"X6.5", 2 black wagon wheel rims 15"X6.5", 2 black wagon wheel rims 15"X8". I run the black wagon wheels in the summer with 4 Kumho Road Venture 235/75/15 tires. That is a total of 11 tires with 9 rims... plus 5 genuine Ford Econoline series hub caps.
This van has two high back captains chairs with armrest's up front, there are 2 bench seats in back, I am also including 2 low back bucket seats which were originally up front.
This van makes a great camping vehicle as I used it on my trip out west last summer, it also is a great work van when you remove the bench seats. This is truly a Multi Purpose Vehicle.
Gas mileage is 15MPG in the city 17-18MPG on the highway. She'll cruise all day long at 65-70 mph, uphills she'll get down to 55mph, steep uphills 45 mph, downhills 75-80 mph, I don't push her harder than that.
I use full synthetic motor oil 5w-30 wt. Penzoil Ultra with a K&N filter. I also have a FilterMag attached to the oil filter for added protection. I have put alot of expense into getting this van road worthy, it was a labor of love that somebody else can now enjoy.
I installed a new JVC KDX40 head unit last summer along with 4 new Polk Audio speakers, the system sounds great!
These motors run forever, the transmission had a shift kit installed before I got the van, all shifts are firm and authoritive, no slip, no slop.
I had new front springs installed last fall, the old ones were sagging a bit, these really tightened the front end up nicely, if I was keeping the van I would have the camber adjusted, it's a bit positive with the new springs.
I installed all new brakes and replaced some worn brake lines last summer, I also repacked the wheel bearings at that time.
The van burns no oil, drips no fluids.
She's not a barn burner, however, she'll get you there safely and in comfort.
Any questions feel free to call me, this van is for sale locally, so bidding can end at any time.
Use the "buy it now" button before someone else does and get her home!

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]
Wed, Jul 2 2014As 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.
Ford readying three-row Edge for China
Fri, Nov 21 2014The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.
