There are maybe 5 or 6 websites including E-Bay where like 90% of everything being sold can be found. Within all those sites there have not been over the last 6 months that I have been watching, or right now, any used Chateaus with low miles, in great shape for a price close to mine. Look, all you want, wait as long as you like, but don't expect another chance for a Chateau like mine very soon.
I offer any buyer the right to cancel any sale, and get full refund of any deposit, if upon LOCAL inspection, the van does not meet expectations. This offer does not apply in any way except when an inspection takes place here. Once the van was to be picked up and shipped there are no returns of any kind what-so-ever. That is more than fair. I address this again in the listing. Thankyou for your interest. It's a real nice van.
I am only the second owner. It was in outstanding condition when I bought it and I have strived to continue the fine care of the van. I believe the condition it is in now shows the results of those efforts. Being a true, Ford built Chateau it has all the options, and UNLIKE MOST CONVERSION VANS THAT ARE OVER 7-10 YEARS OLD, MY WINDOWS HAVE NO LEAKS AND NO RUST-OUT THAT PLAGUES CONVERSION VANS. The 5.4 V8 Triton runs strong and smooth and the 4 speed automatic with overdrive shifts without slippage. The van rides level and smooth and holds a good straight track. There is no smoking from the exhaust. All guages work properly.
There are power windows, drivers' seat, mirrors, door locks, with remote fobs of course, cruise control and steering. Front and rear heat, with good HOT heat from the rear unit, front and rear AC as well, tinted windows, upgraded fabics on all the seats, and 4 captains reclining seats with arm rests. Both front seats also have lumbar adjustments, AM/FM radio with casette and CD conrol features, tilt steering wheel, full running boards, trailer hitch and chromed bumpers including the sought after rear step bumper with protective cover. The tires have about 75% tread left and are a better quality matched set.
The interior is excellent. The headliner pristine, the seats void of tears, rips frayed surfaces etc. The carpet is also in superb condition. On a scale of 1-10 I honestly give the interior a solid 9. Minor scruffs on some places on the side panels. You will love the feeling of pride you will get to enjoy any time someone gets in the van.
The body has never been in an accident. There are a couple of rust spots but nothing really major. You should be very satisfied with the condition of the body. The paint has a lot of nice, even shine to it and the alloys are also in far better condition than what you would normally expect. As I said, I am only the second owner and this van has never been neglected.
The van is advertised locally and except for the use of the Buy It Now Option, may be sold and this listing terminated whether or not bids have been placed.
IF THE LISTING IS STILL UP THE VAN IS STILL FOR SALE. DON'T WANT TO GAMBLE? THEN BUY IT NOW.
A DEPOSIT OF $1500 IS REQUIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE TIME OF A WINNING BIDDER OR SOMEONE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE BUY IT NOW OPTION. THIS MUST BE MADE INTO MY PAY PAL ACCOUNT. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE WINNING BIDDER OR BUYER.
THE VAN IS 30 MILES WEST OF CHICAGO AND CAN BE INSPECTED AND TEST DRIVEN. IF BUYER WANTS TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, BEFORE MAKING FINAL PAYMENT, THEN SUCH DESIRE MUST BE MADE KNOWN TO ME WITHIN 3 DAYS OF THE PURCHASE AND MUST BE DONE WITHIN 5 DAYS OF AUCTION ENDING OR USING THE BUY IT NOW OPTION.
IF BUYER DECIDES THE VAN DOES NOT MEET ALL EXPECTATIONS THE SALE CAN BE CANCELLED AND THE DEPOSIT WILL BE RETURNED, SO LONG AS IT HAS CLEARED MY BANK. IF BUYER DOES INSPECT THE VAN AND CHOOSES TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE THE BALANCE OF PAYMENT WILL BE DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS. NO PENALTIES WILL BE IMPOSED IN THIS EVENT EXCEPT FOR ANY FEES E-BAY OR PAY PAL MAY NOT REFUND TO ME.......... I CAN'T BE ANY MORE FAIR.
IF BUYER CHOOSES TO FORGO AN INSPECTION THEN PAYMENT IN FULL MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 4 DAYS OF AUCTION ENDING OR PURCHASE THROUGH THE BUY IT NOW OPTION. PAYMENT OF THE FULL PURCHASE PRICE, OTHER THAN THE $1500 DEPOSIT MUST BE MADE IN CASH DURING NORMAL BANKING HOURS OR BY DIRECT MONEY WIRE TRANSFER INTO MY BANK AND THE VAN WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL ANY AND ALL FUNDS HAVE BEEN FULLY CLEARED BY MY BANK. ANY ARRANGEMENTS FOR SHIPPING ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER AND ONCE THE VAN IS OFF THE GROUND I HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND WHAT-SO-EVER.
Naturally I have to include the following: This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
Peel and Ford Transit do a great Austin Powers impression
Tue, May 6 2014It's no secret that the average fullsize cargo van is big. Like, really big. Expressing that size, though, without actually seeing the van in question, is a pretty tall order. When viewed from the right angle, even something as big as a cargo van can appear very small (look up forced perspective, to see what we mean). That's why it's always good to have a second object on hand, to provide a sense of scale. Ford took this simple idea to the extreme, illustrating the size of the new Ford Transit by pulling the world's smallest production car, the Peel P50, nose first into the van's 487-cubic-foot cargo area. That's no big deal, though, right? After all, at just 54 inches long and 39 inches wide, the Peel would fit quite happily in even the smallest fullsize truck bed. Ford takes it a step further, though. With the help of an actual reverse gear (we're guessing this is a CVT-equipped, electric model), the P50 manages to turn itself around and drive out. It does this in less than two minutes. So yeah, the Ford Transit is a pretty big van. Take a look below for the video from Ford. This content is hosted by a third party.

Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster
Mon, 25 Aug 2014At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.
