There are maybe 5 or 6 websites including E-Bay where like 90% of everything being sold can be found. Within all those sites there have not been over the last 6 months that I have been watching, or right now, any used Chateaus with low miles, in great shape for a price close to mine.  Look, all you want, wait as long as you like, but don't expect another chance for a Chateau like mine very soon.

I offer any buyer the right to cancel any sale, and get full refund of any deposit, if upon LOCAL inspection, the van does not meet expectations. This offer does not apply in any way except when an inspection takes place here. Once the van was to be picked up and shipped there are no returns of any kind what-so-ever. That is more than fair. I address this again in the listing. Thankyou for your interest. It's a real nice van.

I am only the second owner. It was  in outstanding condition when I bought it and I have  strived to continue the fine care of the van. I believe the condition it is in now shows the results of those efforts. Being a true, Ford built Chateau it has all the options, and UNLIKE MOST CONVERSION VANS THAT ARE OVER 7-10 YEARS OLD, MY WINDOWS HAVE NO LEAKS AND NO RUST-OUT THAT PLAGUES CONVERSION VANS. The 5.4 V8 Triton runs strong and smooth and the 4 speed automatic with overdrive shifts without slippage. The van rides level and smooth and holds a good straight track. There is no smoking from the exhaust.  All guages work properly.

There are power windows, drivers' seat, mirrors, door locks, with remote fobs of course, cruise control and steering. Front and rear heat, with good HOT heat from the rear unit, front and rear AC as well, tinted windows, upgraded fabics on all the seats,  and 4 captains reclining seats with arm rests. Both front seats also have lumbar adjustments,  AM/FM radio with casette and CD conrol features, tilt steering wheel, full running boards, trailer hitch and chromed bumpers including  the sought after rear step bumper with protective cover. The tires have about 75% tread left and are a better quality matched set. 

The interior is excellent. The headliner  pristine, the seats void of tears, rips  frayed surfaces etc. The carpet is also in superb condition. On a scale of 1-10 I honestly give the interior a solid 9. Minor scruffs on some places on the side panels. You will love the feeling of pride you will get to enjoy any time someone gets in the van.

The body has never been in an accident. There are a couple of rust spots but nothing really major.  You should be very satisfied with the  condition of the body. The paint has a  lot of nice, even shine to it and the alloys are also in far better condition than what you would normally expect. As I said, I am only the second owner and this van has never been neglected.

The van is advertised locally and except for the use of the Buy It Now Option, may be sold and this listing terminated whether or not bids have been placed

 IF THE LISTING IS STILL UP THE VAN IS STILL FOR SALE. DON'T WANT TO GAMBLE? THEN BUY IT NOW.

A DEPOSIT OF $1500 IS REQUIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE TIME OF A WINNING BIDDER OR SOMEONE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE BUY IT NOW OPTION. THIS MUST BE MADE INTO MY PAY PAL ACCOUNT. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE WINNING BIDDER OR BUYER.

THE VAN IS 30 MILES WEST OF CHICAGO AND CAN BE INSPECTED AND TEST DRIVEN. IF BUYER WANTS TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, BEFORE MAKING FINAL PAYMENT, THEN SUCH DESIRE MUST BE MADE KNOWN TO ME WITHIN 3 DAYS OF THE PURCHASE AND MUST BE DONE WITHIN 5 DAYS OF AUCTION ENDING OR USING THE BUY IT NOW OPTION.

IF BUYER DECIDES THE VAN DOES NOT MEET ALL EXPECTATIONS THE SALE CAN BE CANCELLED AND THE DEPOSIT WILL BE RETURNED, SO LONG AS IT HAS CLEARED MY BANK.  IF BUYER DOES INSPECT THE VAN AND CHOOSES TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE THE BALANCE OF PAYMENT WILL BE DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS.  NO PENALTIES WILL BE IMPOSED IN THIS EVENT EXCEPT FOR ANY FEES E-BAY OR PAY PAL MAY NOT REFUND TO ME.......... I CAN'T BE ANY MORE FAIR.

IF BUYER CHOOSES TO FORGO AN INSPECTION THEN PAYMENT IN FULL MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 4 DAYS OF AUCTION ENDING OR PURCHASE THROUGH THE BUY IT NOW OPTION. PAYMENT OF THE FULL PURCHASE PRICE, OTHER THAN THE $1500 DEPOSIT MUST BE MADE IN CASH DURING NORMAL BANKING HOURS OR BY DIRECT MONEY WIRE TRANSFER INTO MY BANK AND THE VAN WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL ANY AND ALL FUNDS HAVE BEEN FULLY CLEARED BY MY BANK. ANY ARRANGEMENTS FOR SHIPPING ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER AND  ONCE THE VAN IS OFF THE GROUND I HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND WHAT-SO-EVER.

Naturally I have to include the following: This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely. The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle at the buyer's request prior to the close of sale. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.

Aluminum lightweighting does, in fact, save fuel

Mon, Apr 14 2014

When the best-selling US truck sheds the equivalent weight of three football fullbacks by shifting to aluminum, folks start paying attention. Oak Ridge National Laboratory took a closer look at whether the reduced fuel consumption from a lighter aluminum body makes up for the fact that producing aluminum is far more energy intensive than steel. And the results of the study are pretty encouraging. In a nutshell, the energy needed to produce a vehicle's raw materials accounts for about 10 percent of a typical vehicle's carbon footprint during its total lifecycle, and that number is up from six percent because of advancements in fuel economy (fuel use is down to about 68 percent of total emissions from about 75 percent). Still, even with that higher material-extraction share, the fuel-efficiency gains from aluminum compared to steel will offset the additional vehicle-extraction energy in just 12,000 miles of driving, according to the study. That means that, from an environmental standpoint, aluminum vehicles are playing with the house's money after just one year on the road. Aluminum-sheet construction got topical real quickly earlier this year when Ford said the 2015 F-150 pickup truck would go to a 93-percent aluminum body construction. In addition to aluminum being less corrosive than steel, that change caused the F-150 to shed 700 pounds from its curb weight. And it looks like the Explorer and Expedition SUVs may go on an aluminum diet next. Take a look at SAE International's synopsis of the Oak Ridge Lab's study below. Life Cycle Energy and Environmental Assessment of Aluminum-Intensive Vehicle Design Advanced lightweight materials are increasingly being incorporated into new vehicle designs by automakers to enhance performance and assist in complying with increasing requirements of corporate average fuel economy standards. To assess the primary energy and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) implications of vehicle designs utilizing these materials, this study examines the potential life cycle impacts of two lightweight material alternative vehicle designs, i.e., steel and aluminum of a typical passenger vehicle operated today in North America. LCA for three common alternative lightweight vehicle designs are evaluated: current production ("Baseline"), an advanced high strength steel and aluminum design ("LWSV"), and an aluminum-intensive design (AIV).

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
