1996 E150 Ford Econoline High Top Conversion Van
351 Motor

Got this van in 2006 here on eBay with just shy 150,000 miles on it. Totally got ripped off :( and will be as transparent as possible about it's condition, so there are no surprises like we got.  It has been very well maintained since we purchased it and now has 231,000 miles.  


The Bad:
Mostly aesthetic.  It's not so pretty and has its flaws.  Ex:   the only lock that works to open it is in the very back (power locks work sporadically).  The passenger side window doesn't work, but I have a motor for it, the back air/heat is disabled, but the front works.  The body is in decent shape, but it has a couple small dents, the striping is chipped and the clear coat is cooking off the roof in spots (Texas title van).   Area around the wheel wells have been frequently touched up with spray paint to keep surface rust from getting out of control (NY salty winters).  It may either need a heater core or lines.  The carpeting is stained and could use a good cleaning.  The bucket seats in front are in pretty rough shape too and the rear seat recently got a split in it that has some duct tape on.  There is a lifter that has been tapping since we got it, but doesn't affect the functioning.


What has been done since we've owned it:
The oil has been changed every 3000 miles
Heads rebuilt at 150,000
Transmission rebuilt at 154,000
Suspension/shocks/springs completely re-done
Fuel Pump
Tie Rods
Water Pump
Brakes
Thermostat Battery
U-joints
Starter
Radiator
Alternater
Belt
Wires, Plugs & Distributor Cap (could use a new distributor cap)
There are probably a couple other things that have been replaced as well, but I can't think of them at the moment.
It has a tow package, 
There is an additional bench seat (removed to make room for cargo).  It is in good condition.  The passenger seat is wheel chair accessible; rotates and goes up or down.   The rear seat supposedly folds out into a bed.  Never had any need to try it.  It is what it is…a good work van.  Not a luxury van anymore, though the track lighting is nice.
TV (not sure if it still works or not).  Haven't bothered with it since we bought it.  
Good Rubber
On the road, ready to go.
If you're interested and want more photos, send your email address and I'll get some out to you.  There are also some additional photos on Ithaca, NY's Craigslist.  Enter 1996 Ford Econoline Van, and it should pull up.  Please ask all questions before bidding.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
