This auction is for my E350 Extended Club Wagon V10.  It is in very good condition for its age and low miles for a 97 vehicle, most of it highway. I have never driven it in winter during the 9 years I have owned the vehicle, so the body is in very good condition and not rusty.  During all the time I owned it, the rear three seats were stored in plastic bags in my attic, as I used the van to carry boxes of items.  l towed a medium sized trailer about half a dozen times a year up to 2009, when my friend bought a larger trailer and we used his tow vehicle and trailer instead. It tows very well.  It is very smooth and stable on the highway and when not towing gets about 15mpg at normal highway speeds. It is also quiet for a heavy duty vehicle.

It has new Kumho 16" 6ply tires with less than a thousand miles on them and new front shocks as of last fall.

I have owned the van for 9 years and it has been extremely reliable and never stranded me. The engine and transmission work as they should with no problems.  I have always maintained the van carefully.

It has dual A/C and dual heat, which both work perfectly.  All options work.  I just put in a new Reese brake controller.

The driver's seat is in excellent condition and not torn or flattened out...and the interior overall is very good as you can see from the photos.  There is a small bad spot of carpet in the very back and one of the rear seats has a stain...there are of course, other small stains, small dents and scratches consistent with age.

This vehicle is of course, a used vehicle and is sold as is, with no warranty.  Prospective buyers may contact me to test drive the vehicle or to arrange for an inspection.

I have started the bidding very low. You will be very unlikely to find a similar vehicle in this good condition.

If you win the bid, we have entered into a binding agreement for the sale of this van.  Winning bidder must send $500 by paypal within 2 days of the end of the auction. This is a non-refundable deposit.  The remainder of the purchase price must be by cash when you pick up the vehicle in zip code 60004.  That should be within 7 days, but I am willing to discuss other options.

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.

Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.
