1996 Ford E350 Supervan Club Wagon 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel on 2040-cars
Marquette, Michigan, United States
This sale is for a: 1996 Ford E350 1-ton SuperVan Chateau 15 passenger window van. I have owned this van since new. I purchased it in Marquette, Michigan and drove it to where we lived in Casa Grande, Arizona. The raised roof was installed along with the UVL (under vehicle lift) wheelchair lift in Phoenix, Arizona. The van spent most of its life in the southwest. Five years in Casa Grande, AZ and six years in El Paso, TX. It is has been in Marquette, MI since October of 2006. There are some areas of rust starting to appear. Some of the pictures show the spots. I have not noticed any rust outs, but where paint has lifted and the metal surface has been exposed to the elements, the surface is rusted. The front seats were reupholstered, but the driver’s seat is coming apart at the seam were it is rubbed getting in and out. The rest of the seats are original and are in excellent condition. I don’t think the rear seat has ever been sat in. It had been removed for the UVL electric/hydraulic pump system. All the passenger seats to make it a 15 passenger van are included. The one right behind the drivers seat is not mounted as to allow access for a wheelchair. The wheelchair tie-down straps are included and the floor tabs are still installed. The rear seat is included but is not installed as the UVL electric/hydraulic system is mounted in the back and takes up part of the room required to mount the seat. The present configuration allows for eight people seated and one wheelchair tied down. The carpet is showing it’s age with some wear and stains. No smells! All the gauges work. The factory original radio with cassette player works. The dual air conditioning works. The rear heater is presently disconnected due to a leak in the line that runs above the UVL from the engine to the heater. It runs the original 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel engine which had rebuilt injectors and new glow plugs installed for the first time last year. New injector harnesses were installed as well. The engine has had the oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles depending on the severity of the weather and the use of the vehicle. I did do some towing with it in the heat and through the mountains so would change the oil more often. The brakes were all gone through almost 2 years ago with new drums, rotors, pads, shoes, etc. The transmission was replaced at a Ford dealer in El Paso, about 10 years ago. It still works well, and as the engine, it has received regular maintenance. The Traction-Lock rear end was rebuild about 6 years ago, due to a bad bearing on the unit. The rear hub-caps are missing. Plastic tabs broke and at different times the hubcaps passed me while going down the road. The aluminum wheels are showing their age and could use a stripping, polishing and a clear coating in order to look good again. But they serve well as they are. All five tires are 16 inch radial tires with very good tread left on them. If you purchase the van, you are welcome to all the records I have available on it. The UVL has not been used in at least 6-8 months, and was operating slowly when last used. It should be cleaned and serviced as needed. Lately (lack of use?) it has given me a few times when it would not start right up. If I let it sit for a few minutes and go back to it, let the glow plugs cycle, and crank it, it fires right up. Every time the dealer hooks the tester up to it, it starts right up. They have not been able to get a trouble code on it. The thinking at this point is, it may be the high pressure oil pump for the injectors is not giving enough pressure ... sometimes! But as stated, if I wait for a few minutes and try again, it starts up. If you are bidding to buy you need to know this information as you are buying it as is and I want you to know all the facts. The van has served our family well. The reason we are selling it is we are no longer in need of such a large vehicle. It carried our family of seven for many years, 3 of whom were in wheelchairs. It towed car trailers for me when I would go to car shows and swap meets. It is a powerhouse of a vehicle and with some additional regular care should have a lot of life left in it. THE FINE PRINT and THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW: I am sure I have left some details out, so check out the pictures, reread what I have written, e-mail me with your questions AND then bid. The Club Wagon is being sold as is, where is. There is no warranty stated, written, or implied. This is a 19 year old vehicle, bought in October of 1995. As any vehicle of this vintage it may need a few things done. I would encourage you to inspect the vehicle first. I have given any info as to the needs of the van, as I know them, in the most honest manner. I like the van, having owned it since new, and may have inadvertently overlooked some of it’s clunks, rattles, and little quirks. You will be satisfied with my honest description. Yes, there is a reserve. No, I will not give that out. If you cannot live without the truck, make me an offer I cannot refuse and I’ll set a Buy It Now price for you to purchase the truck. e-mail me with questions. I will gladly call serious buyers if you send your phone and best time to call, but I am not available Sunday mornings. A nonrefundable deposit of $500.00 must be made within 48 hours of the end of auction. It may be made either by PayPal or U.S.P.S. Postal Money Order (any other type of funds will be considered nonpayment). BALANCE is due within 7 days of the end of the auction or (which ever occurs first) prior to picking the vehicle up, shipping the vehicle, or receiving delivery of the vehicle from the seller. BALANCE must be by wire transfer, cash or other funds that are verifiable and guaranteed at the time of exchange. I will work the details out with the purchaser. NEITHER THE VEHICLE NOR THE TITLE WILL BE GIVEN OUT UNTIL THE FUNDS ARE FULLY EXCHANGED, VERIFIED, AND USABLE IN MY ACCOUNT. The car is sold as is, where is, however, I will work with you and/or your shipper on being available. Buyer pays all shipping and insurance costs. The winning bidder is responsible for any and all title, plates, taxes, transfers, inspections, insurance, and any other charges related to the purchase of the car. As always, I retain the right to end the auction for any reason, including if sold through another venue.
Thank you for looking and have a great day. I forgot to mention it has never been in an accident nor has it been repainted. Yes there are a few parking lot dings from a people being careless. But never a highway or major accident. Thanks. |

Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados
Thu, 22 May 2014Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.
These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute
Fri, Jan 9 2015Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.
