You're looking at an original 1969 Ford Econoline 200 Supervan Coachman Conversion type-B camper. This is a beautiful machine that wears authentic California coast patina of its original blue paint. You can't fake this look! The old girl has aged gracefully, maintaining the integrity of the metal with only surface rusting in areas of the body as shown in the pictures. The body panels are straight and show no sign of any past body work. You will notice the only two significant dents in the pictures: one on the hood, and one near the rear passenger-side taillight. I wouldn't touch the look of this Supervan in the slightest bit, but of course- that is up to you:) The van is solid with no structural rusting or holes anywhere. It has the original low-mileage 302 V8 with the "three on the tree" manual transmission. The van starts right up and drives down the road well. The brakes, suspension, transmission, and clutch were all recently inspected and operate as intended. I wouldn't hesitate to drive the old girl across the country! In fact, I'll drive it to the new owner for a small fee (please contact me BEFORE you bid if you'd like me to do this). The interior is in decent original shape. The seats show the wear and tear of 45 years of age with rips and such, but are just fine for sitting on for road tripping. The driver's side is covered with a fur cover that does its job. The carpet in the rear area is in very clean condition (see pictures). I have never used the coach features (sink, stove, oven, etc) and so cannot speak to their condition. It all looks good and functional, but I would have the propane lines and tank pressure tested and the water tank inspected before attempting to use them. The glass is all intact with only minor chipping in a couple spots on the windshield. The tires are decent, but show some weather checking from age. The exhaust is a bit loud and may have a leak somewhere or may simply need a new muffler. It isn't obnoxious or anything, just a bit louder than it should be. The steering is manual and therefore stiff, but the van is easy to handle on the road. I have an application for California title signed and ready to transfer to the new owner. This is an easy process in California, but may be more difficult in other states (please do your own research). Unfortunately, the registered owner of this fine vehicle has past away, so no other documentation can be filled out by him. Before his death he filled out and signed an application for California title (lost title) form. This is what the new owner will receive. If you are an out of state buyer and would like a clear California title I can accommodate, but at the expense of some time and money. If you would require this service, please contact me BEFORE you bid.

Ford to show special edition Raptor on April 9

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

There are precious few details, but what we do know is that Ford will be revealing images of "appearance upgrades" for a special-edition 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor on April 9. The slideshow will happen during a Motor Press Guild luncheon at Ford's Design Center Showroom in Irvine, California.
Without photos or further details, we're left to wonder about the extent of these changes, but aren't expecting anything too significant given the venue. Ford is understood to be revealing a next-generation F-150 with a big weight loss - as much as 700 pounds - for 2014, though it isn't yet clear if that's the truck's model year or simply its on-sale year. For at least a couple of years, Ford forums have been suggesting changes will come with the 2014 Raptor, so there could still be a bigger surprise in store. Either way, we'll know what all this means in a little more than a week. The press release below has the official details, but for the moment, we'll content ourselves by ogling the 2013 model above.

2015 Ford F-150 shaves 700 pounds, adds 2.7-liter EcoBoost [w/video]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

The Ford F-150 is one of the best selling vehicles on the planet. Considering that, one can imagine that when it comes time for a redesign, there are hardly any half measures. For its lucky thirteenth generation, Ford has gone all-in on the single most important vehicle in its portfolio, redesigning it from the ground up.
The big news is the F-150's new, lightweight, Atlas-inspired body. Ninety-three percent of that new body is made from a sort of aluminum alloy not unlike what the US military uses in its M2 Bradley fighting vehicles and Humvees, and it accounts for up to 70 percent of the F-150's 700-pound weight reduction. As a side benefit, the aluminum body should prove more resistant to dents and dings. Built Ford tough, indeed.
If you're wondering where the other 30 percent of that 700-pound weight loss went, 8.5 percent (60 pounds) came from the increased use of high-strength steel (up from 23 percent to 77 percent) in its ladder-box frame. Ford claims this steel is comparable to some of the heavy duty pickups used by its competitors, with a PSI rating of 70,000.

2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.
