I am selling my 1993 Ford E-350 4x4 7.3l Diesel Van. This van was built by AEV (American Emergency Vehicles) and has low mileage and no rust. This is currently registered in California and is smog exempt. This van is a Quigley 4x4 build and I believe the front axle is a Dana 60 and the rear a Dana 70. This van was well maintained throughout its life and I do have some repair receipts from throughout the years. The van runs and drives great. It pulls hills with ease and shifts smoothly. The transmission was rebuilt at 120,816. New tires and batteries were installed last year. The interior has a Kenwood CD player with remote, interior flood and fluorescent lights along with exterior lights. The exterior lighting is great for setting up camp in the dark. There is a roof mounted solar panel along with a power inverter. There are two batteries located in the engine compartment and two batteries in the cabin. The cab A/C works well and blows cold. This van has been mildly converted for camping/expedition and the improvements include a small foot pump sink with removable clean and gray water tanks. The van has a 30 amp outlet and I have an extension cord adapter to plug into house/KOA power. I also have a small portable propane heater and portable toilet. The interior is laminated and very easy to clean. The interior cabinets have sliding glass doors that are solid and do not make noise when driving. There is a semi-permanent bench and storage under the rear seats, along with a removable table that converts into a bed. You can see this converted in the pictures. There is dynamat insulation installed under the carpet in the cab to minimize heat and noise. I have a set of black Carr steps for the driver and passenger that I have not yet installed. The body and paint are in good shape with a few small dents and scratches. Overall, the van is in good condition for its age. I would feel confident driving this vehicle anywhere. Whether you want to put this back into service or use it as and expedition vehicle, the possibilities are endless. Feel free to contact me with any questions, (916) 865-8177. More pictures available upon request. A video of the van can be seen at, http://youtu.be/kls8TCINxVY

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?

Sat, 28 Sep 2013

Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.

Hot Wheels Ford Transit Connect is worth more if we keep it in the box

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

If the 2014 Transit Connect is anything like it's utile current-generation predecessor, and we suspect it is, it will undoubtedly be one of the most functional vehicles in North America. Ford has used the occasion of SEMA to turn the TC in to things that both make use of that functionality, and occasionally sort of wreck it in the name of good old-fashioned fun. The Ford Hot Wheels Transit Connect most certainly falls into that second category.
Most TC owners might cite the vehicle's massive cargo capacity as its top positive trait, though in the case of this wide-bodied Transit said space has been sapped in the name of a 55-inch television screen, a massive Hot Wheels drag strip (continuing a popular theme at SEMA this year) and custom storage for dozens of models from one's personal hot wheels collection. Designers have also plucked the grippy Recaro seats from the Focus ST, and thrown in a pair of 18-inch tablet screens for connectivity on the go.
Naturally, the Transit Connect wouldn't be an appropriate SEMA vehicle, or Hot Wheels name-bearer, if it weren't wearing an eye-popping appearance package. Additional homage to the Focus RS can be found in the blazing blue and orange front fascia and bumpers, while 20-inch wheels make sure the wider (four-inches in front and six-inches in the back) Transit Connect sits just right. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder-engine that powers the Hot Wheels TC ensures that the concept is more show than go, but you probably had that pegged from your first look, anyway.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
