1996 Ford E350 Supervan Club Wagon 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel on 2040-cars
Marquette, Michigan, United States
|
This sale is for a: 1996 Ford E350 1-ton SuperVan Chateau 15 passenger window van. I have owned this van since new. I purchased it in Marquette, Michigan and drove it to where we lived in Casa Grande, Arizona. The raised roof was installed along with the UVL (under vehicle lift) wheelchair lift in Phoenix, Arizona. The van spent most of its life in the southwest. Five years in Casa Grande, AZ and six years in El Paso, TX. It is has been in Marquette, MI since October of 2006. There are some areas of rust starting to appear. Some of the pictures show the spots. I have not noticed any rust outs, but where paint has lifted and the metal surface has been exposed to the elements, the surface is rusted. The front seats were reupholstered, but the driver’s seat is coming apart at the seam were it is rubbed getting in and out. The rest of the seats are original and are in excellent condition. I don’t think the rear seat has ever been sat in. It had been removed for the UVL electric/hydraulic pump system. All the passenger seats to make it a 15 passenger van are included. The one right behind the drivers seat is not mounted as to allow access for a wheelchair. The wheelchair tie-down straps are included and the floor tabs are still installed. The rear seat is included but is not installed as the UVL electric/hydraulic system is mounted in the back and takes up part of the room required to mount the seat. The present configuration allows for eight people seated and one wheelchair tied down. The carpet is showing it’s age with some wear and stains. No smells! All the gauges work. The factory original radio with cassette player works. The dual air conditioning works. The rear heater is presently disconnected due to a leak in the line that runs above the UVL from the engine to the heater. It runs the original 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel engine which had rebuilt injectors and new glow plugs installed for the first time last year. New injector harnesses were installed as well. The engine has had the oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles depending on the severity of the weather and the use of the vehicle. I did do some towing with it in the heat and through the mountains so would change the oil more often. The brakes were all gone through almost 2 years ago with new drums, rotors, pads, shoes, etc. The transmission was replaced at a Ford dealer in El Paso, about 10 years ago. It still works well, and as the engine, it has received regular maintenance. The Traction-Lock rear end was rebuild about 6 years ago, due to a bad bearing on the unit. The rear hub-caps are missing. Plastic tabs broke and at different times the hubcaps passed me while going down the road. The aluminum wheels are showing their age and could use a stripping, polishing and a clear coating in order to look good again. But they serve well as they are. All five tires are 16 inch radial tires with very good tread left on them. If you purchase the van, you are welcome to all the records I have available on it. The UVL has not been used in at least 6-8 months, and was operating slowly when last used. It should be cleaned and serviced as needed. Lately (lack of use?) it has given me a few times when it would not start right up. If I let it sit for a few minutes and go back to it, let the glow plugs cycle, and crank it, it fires right up. Every time the dealer hooks the tester up to it, it starts right up. They have not been able to get a trouble code on it. The thinking at this point is, it may be the high pressure oil pump for the injectors is not giving enough pressure ... sometimes! But as stated, if I wait for a few minutes and try again, it starts up. If you are bidding to buy you need to know this information as you are buying it as is and I want you to know all the facts. The van has served our family well. The reason we are selling it is we are no longer in need of such a large vehicle. It carried our family of seven for many years, 3 of whom were in wheelchairs. It towed car trailers for me when I would go to car shows and swap meets. It is a powerhouse of a vehicle and with some additional regular care should have a lot of life left in it. THE FINE PRINT and THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW: I am sure I have left some details out, so check out the pictures, reread what I have written, e-mail me with your questions AND then bid. The Club Wagon is being sold as is, where is. There is no warranty stated, written, or implied. This is a 19 year old vehicle, bought in October of 1995. As any vehicle of this vintage it may need a few things done. I would encourage you to inspect the vehicle first. I have given any info as to the needs of the van, as I know them, in the most honest manner. I like the van, having owned it since new, and may have inadvertently overlooked some of it’s clunks, rattles, and little quirks. You will be satisfied with my honest description. Yes, there is a reserve. No, I will not give that out. If you cannot live without the truck, make me an offer I cannot refuse and I’ll set a Buy It Now price for you to purchase the truck. e-mail me with questions. I will gladly call serious buyers if you send your phone and best time to call, but I am not available Sunday mornings. A nonrefundable deposit of $500.00 must be made within 48 hours of the end of auction. It may be made either by PayPal or U.S.P.S. Postal Money Order (any other type of funds will be considered nonpayment). BALANCE is due within 7 days of the end of the auction or (which ever occurs first) prior to picking the vehicle up, shipping the vehicle, or receiving delivery of the vehicle from the seller. BALANCE must be by wire transfer, cash or other funds that are verifiable and guaranteed at the time of exchange. I will work the details out with the purchaser. NEITHER THE VEHICLE NOR THE TITLE WILL BE GIVEN OUT UNTIL THE FUNDS ARE FULLY EXCHANGED, VERIFIED, AND USABLE IN MY ACCOUNT. The car is sold as is, where is, however, I will work with you and/or your shipper on being available. Buyer pays all shipping and insurance costs. The winning bidder is responsible for any and all title, plates, taxes, transfers, inspections, insurance, and any other charges related to the purchase of the car. As always, I retain the right to end the auction for any reason, including if sold through another venue.
Thank you for looking and have a great day. I forgot to mention it has never been in an accident nor has it been repainted. Yes there are a few parking lot dings from a people being careless. But never a highway or major accident. Thanks. |

Takata air bag recall list
Tue, Dec 9 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
2015 Ford Mustang leaked in Autoweek
Tue, 03 Dec 2013We would have to imagine that Ford knew it couldn't keep its 2015 Mustang under wraps for too long, and with only days to go before the pony car's official unveiling, the dam seems to be cracking. SVTPerformance.com member Screamin 40th just posted some images taken of the sixth-gen Mustang prominently featured in and on the cover of the December 9 issue of Autoweek magazine.
These images show that recent renderings we saw weren't too far off. The face is just like what we saw in spy shots a few months back, but the rear of the car features some of its more striking cues. Starting with the pronounced haunches and hidden B-pillars, the rear view of the new Mustang might be its best with the ridged, three-bar taillights, a rear diffuser and the lack of a faux gas cap, which allows the galloping pony to be an even more prominent element against the black trim.
The images also reveal a small portion of the updated interior carrying over retro themes like the deep-dish steering wheel and dual-gauge instrument cluster, but it also adds some modern tech with a big infotainment displays and a clean center stack layout. No official word on powertrain or other specs, but while we can't make out most of the magazine's text, our eyes did catch mentions of an independent rear suspension and a 200-pound weight reduction.
Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.
