1988 Ford Econoline E350 52,800 Original Miles


This Van was converted by Collins Bus Corporation when it was manufactured.  This bus was converted to be a community transport bus for Evergreen Park, IL.  It has an upgraded electrical system to power the heaters and air conditioners.

I further converted the Bus when I purchased it by removing most of the seats.  Two - two passenger seats remain. Each seat has two seat belts installed.  I am a Livestock Farmer and have used this bus to transport meat.  It has easily transported Three 14.8 cubic font freezers full of meat, along with my equipment.  It has served me well, but no longer fits my needs.

  • The alternator was rebuilt January of this year
  • The batteries do not hold a charge.  I have not driven the Bus much in the last six months.  The batteries were starting to get weak and I think non use finished them off.
  • It has dual gas tanks
  • It is one ton
  • The body is very solid and in overall good condition.  There is some surface rust starting that I tried to show in the pictures.  The drivers door is rusted at the bottom.
  • The body has a four foot extension in the rear.
  • The front and rear heaters work very well.
  • The front and rear a/c does not work.  I never took it in for repair and am not sure of the problem.
  • The right front hub cap is missing.
  • The seats are well worn.
  • The bus doors open and close perfectly.  The automatic open does not work.  I had a bar made to lock and secure the doors.
  • I had strong anchors installed in the floor to secure my freezers and equipment.
The Reserve is set at $2,000

Payment Details:  A deposit of $200 within 24 hours of auction close via Paypal.  Full payment in cash is due within 3 days of auction end.

I am located in Bonfield, IL - approximately one hour south of Chicago.

You may set an appointment to see the Bus in person.  You can email me at questions@faithsfarm.com

Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.

Ford Focus refresh shots leak ahead of Geneva

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

In case you haven't been paying attention, Ford has been gradually redesigning its lineup to sport a familiar face. The Aston Martin-inspired grille shape debuted on the Fusion and was soon applied to the Fiesta. Even the front end of the new Mustang takes its cues from the same, and we're sure other models will soon be made-over to fall in line. The next on the docket? The Focus.
Set to be unveiled in little over a week at the Geneva Motor Show, the revised Focus has leaked out a tad early, revealing a mild facelift that bears that same trapezoidal grille with horizontal slats. Along with the new grille, the headlights, lower fascia and hood appear to have been reshaped. Around back there appears to be a new rear bumper and taillights, but otherwise the shape remains largely the same as the current model.
Expect the updates to be applied to all bodystyles offered around the world, including the hatchback, wagon and sedan. The engine lineup is expected to carry over largely unchanged, though the plug-in hybrid powertrain from the C-Max Energi could port over to the revised Focus. Plus Ford seems to have taken the opportunity to spruce things up in the cabin some. Check it out in the image gallery above and watch this space for the official announcement as we pack our bags for Switzerland.

Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
