You know you want to have a piece of history with the purchase of this 1966 ford van. I purchased this van some 6 years ago and it was in really bad shape so i spent some time and a bunch of money putting it back on the road again. I've replaced windshield,installed floor shifter on floor because shifter on column kept hanging up. found a 8-track player on e-bay and it works great! also comes with a bunch of 8tracks i've found over the years.Van came with no seats so i found these from a earlier model and just stuck them in. I also installed a bench seat in the back that turns into a bed with the push of a button(YEAH BABY!) Never used it cause im married and got kids but knock yourself out! there was no interior when i got it just rusted metal inside so many labor hours of grinding and wire wheeling i treated and coated the walls and floor with herculiner bed liner and inslulated and covered walls with carpet covered wood panels to keep out a some heat in the summer time. put same liner on roof. also lined engine compartment with high tech inslulation as seen in pictures of motor. Installed auxilary cooling fan on radiator for sitting in traffic. Has front/rear drum brakes all have been re-worked and rebuilt master clyinder. All switches, gauges.lights work and i also installed up dated fuse panel.When i finally got van on the roar it only went to 55 miles per hour.(THAT SUCKED) so i spent alot more money to getting rear end replaced with one that get's up to speed now. Bumpers were made by a welder buddy of mine out of stainless steel pipe. and he also made the aluminum gas tank for it also because the original tank had a hole the size of my fist. put lots of new engine parts on and i have all reciepts on the parts and work that was done. Still have lots of stuff done to van but not enough space to list. I didn't want a show van i just wanted something cool to drive around in. i drive it sometimes on weekends and all tags are current. It gets about 100 looks a mile and lots of people come up and say...HEY DUDE I USED TO HAVE ONE OF THESE! Its time to pass it on to the next Dude because my wife wont let my kids in it because of no air bags and i hate driving alone. I cant ship van so your gonna have to pick it up from my location. But worth the trip.

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper.
For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011.
The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
