I'd prefer to keep it, but I am out of time to finish it.  This is one awesome van, and needs very little to complete.
It started as an original 1998 Quiqley conversion, Coil Spring front, and leaf spring rear.  I bought this as a non-runner..or, barely running, a few years ago, and have spent the past few years working on it while I can.  All the heavy work (motor swap etc) was done by a local shop.

*And* this is a 1998, the last year that requires no emissions in all 50 states, including California.
California started emissions inspections for all diesels, 1999 and later, so this 1998 will never need emission inspection, in any state, ever!!

Things that need to be finished:
Interior was gutted except for rear headliner because I didn't want to break it, so that is still grey, as are the front seats.   Everything else is tan.  The front springs are a bit soft and should be replaced with a custom, heavier spring.  I have another pair of shocks to make the font dual shocks, but I've had no time to make brackets and install them (shocks will be included).  The transmission shifter is a bit off, though it does shift into all positions.  I noticed this when I got it back from the transmission shop.  Some of the tabs that hold the driver side trim on (piece under the steering column) are broken off, so it's not 100% secure, but that should be an easy find at a junkyard.  There is one piece of trim missing from the rear passenger side, it's the first piece behind the side door, and it was missing when I bought the van.  It needs a front end alignment since the front steering linkage was replaced, the wheel is off center, so it's just a draglink adjustment.  The batteries may be weak, but it's been below 20 degrees an awful lot here.  I keep the charger on it all the time when it's parked, just in case.  I do have two new batteries, but I'm not inclined to replace them when it's below 20 degrees outside.  The interior is a bit dirty, but again...20 degree weather is not helping my motivation to clean it.  Nothing major, some rags and some windex and a vacuuming should do it, and yes, you can use your house vacuum with the brushes, it's that big inside.  The transmission temperature gage is installed, and wired, but not plugged into the transmission.  The sending unit wires must be extended to reach, though, the sending unit is installed in the pan.  The wires just need to be extended and run to the sending unit, and they are coiled up behind the trim panel, below the steering column.  I think that's it, I don't think I missed anything, but feel free to ask questions, and be sure to look at all the pictures.

The good stuff!

Custom intake:
The under-hood battery was installed underneath, next to the second battery, in a factory battery box
I used a 4" hole saw to drill through the hood, and the radiator support.
I then welded a piece of 4" pipe into the radiator support for structural integrity (it's just as strong as it was before cutting it)
PVC pipe is connected to the turbo, and a cone filter, and the cone filter sits directly behind the 4" hole
A custom 'airbox' of sorts was made with styrofoam insluation, as a temporary box, though it works great
This is the only way to get air into this van.

New Monroe Gas Magnum shocks all around (pn 34658, heaviest ones I could find, same part number, front and rear)
Track bar relocated to front of axle to eliminate bind and bump steer
(this is a Quigley flaw, they mount the track bar on the rear of the axle, between the control arms, and it binds on the lower control are
causing bump-steer and erratic handling.  That has been fixed on this van.)

New carpet
New foil-faced insulation (first layer)

Seats from a 2006 E-van, great condition

Black D-ring wheels
Centramatic Balancers
McGard lugnuts and wheel locks

I'm sure I'm missing something, because there has been a ton of work and new parts.
The front bumper is MASSIVE, and came with the van.
I installed two LightForce lights on the bumper, through a fused relay directly from the batteries.  These will come with yellow filters.

I drove this van on several ~700 mile highway trips, and it did great, I just have no time to finish it, and no need for it any more.
The reserve is low, just to break even with the parts cost.  I have several more pictures, including the gutting, cleaning, and installing of the interior, but I can post only 24 pics on the listing, but if you give me your email address, I can send more pictures.

About feedback:
The last feedback was left by a bidder that did not pay for the item.  An unpaid item case was opened, bidder was informed, unpaid item case was closed, transaction was cancelled, and THEN the buyer attempted to send funds 18 days after close of auction, by a method other than those specified in this legally binding contract.  eBay's removal of this feedback is pending.  

This is a LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT.
If you bid, be prepared to follow the terms of the contract.

Check the payment details.
I will be unavailable for pickup between 31-Jan and 03-Feb.

If you plan to ship the vehicle, let me know, and be certain your shipper will transport it, it is 7'-9" tall.

NOTE: About the low score of 12 on the history report.

This is originally a Colorado vehicle that was used by one of the Colorado ski resorts (which lowers the score for some reason?  why that lowers the score escapes me)
 
The accident in the history happened while I owned it, and it wasn't an accident, it was stolen by a mechanic in Seymour Indiana, and recovered.
The damage was a ripped out parking brake cable, bent driveshaft, and a cut on the inside of a tire from the parking brake cable.  That was the original Dana 60 rear that has been replaced with a Dana 80, the original driveshaft that was repalced with a new driveshaft 1410 driveshaft, and the orginal Mickey Thompson tires, which have all been replaced with the 37's.  The van also had the original engine and transmission in it at that time, both of which have been replaced since.  There is nothing in the history that has lowered the value of this van, and I really wonder about the value of these 'free' auto history reports.

And, this is a nearly 100% RUST FREE Colorado truck.  There is NO ROT ANYWHERE, only minor surface rust on some parts of the frame, and no rust on any body panels, inside or out, except for minimal surface rust on some parts of the rockers (see pictures).  Somebody is going to get a killer van for far less than it would cost to build.

Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Alan Mulally will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.
He's since clarified by saying, "[I'm] honored at the suggestion, but that is not a role I am considering."

Ken Block's Gymkhana 8 to feature Dubai Police cars?

Tue, Feb 23 2016

Yesterday we showed you the shiny Ford Fiesta that Ken Block will slide, spin, and hoon through the next Gymkhana video. In case the image above isn't clear, that video will drop at midnight EST on February 30th on the Ford Performance YouTube channel. We don't know all the entire premise of the video yet, but this Tweet from the man himself reveals that the video will be set in Dubai. Block is standing on the Fiesta we saw yesterday, and arrayed behind him are a handful of those famous Dubai Police cars you're probably familiar with. The force has a fleet of sportscars and supercars, and the purpose is outreach and goodwill among its citizenry, not necessarily the pursuit of criminals. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. From left to right, we can see a Maserati GranTurismo, Porsche 911, what looks to be a Nissan GT-R obscured by Block's Fiesta, a McLaren (likely a 650S), Ford Mustang, and a Ferrari 599 of some ilk. Will they take part? Maybe Block will try and run from what might be the most horsepower-intensive police fleet in the world. We'll have answers (and a few minutes of pure Block hooniganism) in a few days. Related Video:

Galpin Auto Sports and Fisker turn the Mustang into a Rocket in LA [w/video]

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Galpin Auto Sport and Henrik Fisker made big promises about the Rocket before its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, calling it the "ultimate American muscle car." Now that this 725-horsepower carbon-fiber Ford Mustang has officially been revealed, we've now got a chance to see if their vision backs up all the bluster. The Rocket is based off the latest 2015 Mustang, but the entire exterior design has been substantially reworked by Fisker. "This is a project born out of passion, it's a dream come true, to have the opportunity to 'touch' a Mustang and apply my design ideas to it," he says in the model's announcement. The biggest changes come up front, where Fisker has added a gaping hexagonal grille with a polished bar running and two nearly hidden driving lights at the top corners. Long nostrils run down each side of the hood, taking their inspiration from the 1968 Shelby GT500. The Rocket's design also emphasizes its scalloped sides, which run back to functional ducts at the rear to cool the Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. When checking out the Rocket from the rear, it's easy to spot the wider fenders that are beautifully blended into the integrated spoiler. The interior has been left mostly alone beyond some eye-grabbing red leather and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, Galpin spokesperson Nathan Hoyt has confirmed to Autoblog that the Rocket employs a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple supercharger which can be called to attention with a six-speed manual gearbox. It took only a few months for the vehicle to go from conception to reality. Fisker showed Galpin President Beau Boeckmann early sketches at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and the two parties went from there. "When Henrik showed me his ideas, I got chills - it's literally the most beautiful Mustang I have ever seen," says Boeckmann in the company's release. Production is set to begin in December, with deliveries starting in early 2015. There's no set production total in mind for now, but Hoyt tells Autoblog that the price will be "just over $100,000." Scroll down to read all of the details about Fisker and Galpin's Rocket.
