1966 Ford Campwagon/Falcon Stretch Camper/Van. This is one of the nicest vehicles I have ever owned, and sadly I am selling it and saying goodbye to an old friend. This is, in my opinion, every bit as cool as a VW camper with more power and reliability! It was stripped and painted it's original color scheme by a fantastic body and paint guy who became seriously ill just as he finished the project. The body condition is clean and dry, and the paint is as close to a "10" as I have ever seen. It runs great, does not leak anywhere, has brand new tires with less than 100 miles on them, and the camper pop up mechanism is tight and leak proof, with nice windows and screens in the "upper deck.". The dinette folds into a double bed, and the seats can be flipped in any direction though facing each other with the table in the middle seems to be where it likes to stay. The front seats are perfect and original. Chrome is beautiful.

Driving it is a joy. The front end is tight, the suspension perfect and smooth, and it tracks straight down the road with only the occasional rattle from something in a cupboard! The brakes are all manual and work well. The transmission shifts perfectly and is very smooth. All fluids have been changed recently, and it's just received a new battery and starter. I have just put in a fuel sender and will hook it up this weekend. It has no radio but an antenna and hookup for easy installation.

It has:

2 burner propane stove

Sink with 4 gallon water tank

Icebox (block ice type) which lasts 3-4 days

Good cupboard space/Storage front and rear

Original hammocks (never used) that fit into holders up top and over front seats. (perfect for kids)

Spare tire brand new

It needs:

The dinette cushions should be reupholstered. *They are fine just a little frayed.

The handle on the emergency brake needs replacing.

It should get new curtains! I don't know a seamstress or I would have done it.

The dash was NOT painted when truck was stripped. To be perfect/it should be done.

I have set a reasonable reserve on this van. Please only bid if you are serious and have the funds available. Your bid is a contract and I expect you to honor it. No one with a 0 rating will be able to bid, so please...no fantasy stalkers or dreamers please! This is a beautiful and rare vehicle and it will give you years of trouble-free service with some regular care and maintenance.

Autoblog joins Elon Musk and Danica Patrick in accepting ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Unless you've been living in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods for the last couple of weeks or abstain entirely from social media activities, you've probably seen someone you know dump a bucket of ice and water over their own head recently. While the origins of the so-called Ice Bucket Challenge are shrouded in a history typical of Internet memes, its effectiveness in raising money and awareness for the ALS Association has been astonishing.
Celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, technology and more have generated untold millions of video views in support of the organization that is helping patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and generated a much needed influx of cash, as well. Recent reports have some $15.6M raised in the last two weeks.
Of course, the big-hearted world of automotive celebrities has taken part in the drenching charity effort as well. Follow on below for some of the biggest names on four wheels getting iced for charity, with a smattering of your favorite Autobloggers thrown in for good measure.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
