miami, Florida, United States
MAKE AN OFFER AND THIS Easily Restorable well maintained 1970 E-200 ¾ ton van, in line 6 w/automatic transmission, with working a/c, cruise control, back up camera, am/fm radio w/cassette CAN BE YOURS. The van is in excellent running condition where no expense was ever spared for maintenance, and can be restored to its original beauty since the body and frame are intact. The van was originally a work van for about 10 years, then I installed a bench seat and began using it as a family van, for school, shopping, church, scouts, camping, school pick up and the like, and was in daily use until I was injured. Although I am now a retired disabled veteran I was about to begin restoring the van, until an injury, which now limits my activity. The original engine was completely overhauled on its 39th birthday. It has its dents and scratches and cosmetic problems, however considering that has been in daily service for almost 45 years this is expected. The van is an eye stopper, and it definitely attracts attention. I can’t take it out without people walking up to the van when it is parked, or some people just engage in conversation at stop lights, etc. If you don’t want to re store it immediately, you can just drive it until such time. When you check around you will see that there are not many of them left, at least not in this condition. The Kelly book value (http//www.nadaguides.com/classic cars, on this van is between $3,000 and $10,000 depending on condition, and/or restoration done. Currently the van has not been restored, therefore the price is in the low retail of $3,000, and I am open to offers. Contact don at 305,554-0532. Having working A/C in a vehicle this old is an accomplishment in itself. If you can find a better 1970 Classic - Buy It.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]
Sat, 09 Mar 2013Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well.
