2006 Ford E-450 6.0l Diesel Transit Bus, Transport Bus on 2040-cars
Scarborough, Maine, United States
|
I bought this bus from the Transit Authority in Virginia last April. The bus has every record or oil changes, tires rotations, they kept a book on this bus. Bus is in decent good condition on the outside (see pics) and the interior is really clean. a NEW, not re-manufactured, tranny was put in about 100k ago, 4 new injectors done about 20k ago. I drove it from Virginia to Maine with zero problems. got an average of 13mpg. The reason i bought it sight unseen was cause of the records they kept on it and how good a shape it was for a 2006.
Was driving it the other day and the engine died while driving. So had it towed and mechanic said there is oil in the coolant but no coolant in the oil. He said it was more then likely an oil cooler failure. The engine turns over and cranks but wont fire. I didnt want to dump money into them tearing the engine apart so I am just listing it forsale. Everything on the bus works except the issue w the oil in the coolant. If you have the place and tool and time to tear this engine apart then this would be a good deal for you. I also have found a replacement engine in VT for $2500 with only 120k on it, I will gladly give the name and number to the winning bidder to the guy who has this engine. This really is a good bus for the right person w time and place to work on it. BUS WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED FROM CURENT LOCATION IN SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE TO YOUR FINAL DESTINATION AT YOUR EXPENSE. Feel free to text me or call me with any questions 207-318-9725 |

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.

Chris Harris checks out Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang
Thu, Dec 4 2014Ken Block's Hoonicorn, which stars in Gymkhana Seven, might still bear a passing resemblance to a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang, but underneath the skin, the car is one of the baddest custom machines to ever do a smoky burnout on the road. The ever enthusiastic British auto journalist Chris Harris is now showing what really makes Block's new ride tick on video, and Harris even gets to go for quite a ride. The only Mustang components really left on the Hoonicorn are the A-pillar, B-pillar and roof, according to Harris. Everything else is ditched to create Block's ultimate Gymkhana tool. The 845-horsepower, 6.7-liter Rousch Yates V8 sits behind the front axle, and the grunt is routed to all four wheels through a Sadev gearbox usually found on Dakar Rally vehicles. The whole drivetrain is packed with cool little touches; like that giant handbrake that also disconnects power from the front wheels when in use. The superlatives about the Hoonicorn could go on forever, but settle in and let a very excited Harris tell you about just some of them. He's like a kid in a candy store here, and the look that combines surprise, fear and joy during his ride with Block is the kind that lacks a suitable word in the English language.
