hi and thnx ~!~ I know diesels are supposed to run forever, but at 242k, this Van runs and drives much better than you would expect. it was company owned and properly serviced, as normal fleet style, to reduce risk and add life and reliability; add to that Ford's tough as nails approach with the V8 diesel and the iron build of the great E350 line.
motor starts with a gentle flick of the key and idles correctly. no gauge or dash lights are on. tranny snicks into drive and the van just pulls right along. the ride is firm but exactly to be expected. steers straight, rides well and is reasonably comfy. I have had these power-strokes before in the truck line, and it is just very nice to see, like this one here, a van that does not clatter like mad and no smoke at startup ~!~ (or at all... )
the rear bins are pro grade and can handle all your organizing needs. the floor has been covered with protective mats, and although dusty, they did a good job. all dash and features seem to work fine. front drivers seat has some wear tears, the rest you can see... please see all photos carefully. there are signs of previous repairs along the van's bottom edge, please see the black paint line along the body; it is hiding some repaired rust and corrosion and starting to age. also, please note how clean, dry and solid are the frame, floors, lines and all undercarriage. overall very clean front to rear.
the E350 is at my mechanic's shop now and I just authorized $900 in repairs. I do not want a buyer to have problems or driving home issues, so... he found that the power steering pump had a front seal leak, so that gets replaced. he recommended some new brake lines, OK. the alternator was putting out about 9 volts, so he will install a new one. I will have repairs done and receipts to back it up. I have no problem fixing things if it makes sense, I just was hoping to get off a little easier.
feel please feel free to bid and buy, truck runs and looks great from most any angle. please see all photos, I took every good and bad shot I could. feel free to email or call, or just come by and take a drive. vehicle is as shown and at my home. j. bettes, 805 Clinton ave, Bridgeport, CT 06604 >>

How the 2015 Ford Mustang will save your knees
Sat, 21 Jun 2014The 2015 Mustang is one of the most hotly anticipated vehicles of the moment, and Ford continues to leak out interesting little details about its newest pony car. The latest info doesn't have anything to do with its quarter-mile time or handling, but if any of that goes drastically wrong, the innovative new glovebox-mounted airbag may prevent passengers from knee injuries.
All variants of the 2015 Mustang get the active knee airbag as standard, and it's the first vehicle in Ford's lineup to receive the system. The setup is actually quite simple and ingenious. The glovebox is made from a plastic outer panel that is attached to the inner door. Sandwiched between them is this new injection-molded plastic bladder that folds flat when in use. If the passenger-side airbag deploys, the system springs into action to act as a cushion for your knees. Compared to a traditional knee airbag that has to fully inflate, this arrangement is 65 percent lighter and can use a 75 percent smaller inflator. It's also basically invisible when you look at the glovebox door.
Ford spokesperson Ed Saenz declined to tell Autoblog whether the system will appear in other vehicles in the Blue Oval's lineup but said, "We're considering other applications." Provided it's effective, the approach seems too simple not to make its way to other products. Scroll down to watch a video showing how the glovebox-mounted knee airbag works.
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri
Mon, Sep 19 2016Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
