1966 Ford Econoline Campwagon on 2040-cars
Evanston, Illinois, United States
|
1966 Ford Campwagon/Falcon Stretch Camper/Van. This is one of the nicest vehicles I have ever owned, and sadly I am selling it and saying goodbye to an old friend. This is, in my opinion, every bit as cool as a VW camper with more power and reliability! It was stripped and painted it's original color scheme by a fantastic body and paint guy who became seriously ill just as he finished the project. The body condition is clean and dry, and the paint is as close to a "10" as I have ever seen. It runs great, does not leak anywhere, has brand new tires with less than 100 miles on them, and the camper pop up mechanism is tight and leak proof, with nice windows and screens in the "upper deck.". The dinette folds into a double bed, and the seats can be flipped in any direction though facing each other with the table in the middle seems to be where it likes to stay. The front seats are perfect and original. Chrome is beautiful. Driving it is a joy. The front end is tight, the suspension perfect and smooth, and it tracks straight down the road with only the occasional rattle from something in a cupboard! The brakes are all manual and work well. The transmission shifts perfectly and is very smooth. All fluids have been changed recently, and it's just received a new battery and starter. I have just put in a fuel sender and will hook it up this weekend. It has no radio but an antenna and hookup for easy installation. It has: 2 burner propane stove Sink with 4 gallon water tank Icebox (block ice type) which lasts 3-4 days Good cupboard space/Storage front and rear Original hammocks (never used) that fit into holders up top and over front seats. (perfect for kids) Spare tire brand new It needs: The dinette cushions should be reupholstered. *They are fine just a little frayed. The handle on the emergency brake needs replacing. It should get new curtains! I don't know a seamstress or I would have done it. The dash was NOT painted when truck was stripped. To be perfect/it should be done. I have set a reasonable reserve on this van. Please only bid if you are serious and have the funds available. Your bid is a contract and I expect you to honor it. No one with a 0 rating will be able to bid, so please...no fantasy stalkers or dreamers please! This is a beautiful and rare vehicle and it will give you years of trouble-free service with some regular care and maintenance. |

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Ford 'working very hard' on F-150 hybrid
Thu, Dec 4 2014The lighter, aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 gets (at best) 26 miles per gallon. That's not bad for a truck that size – and we should always remember that improving gas guzzlers can make a big difference – but what if the popular truck came with a gas-electric hybrid powertrain? How efficient would that be? We heard Ford talking about such a vehicle last year, and now we learn that Ford is still "working very hard" to make a F-150 hybrid happen. You want details? Well, we all want details, but those will not be coming for quite some time. Last year, Ford's global product development chief, Raj Nair, said that the company was planning to have hybrid pickups and hybrid SUVs on sale by 2020. With fuel prices dropping, Nair is now saying that a hybrid F-150 makes more sense, financially, than a diesel, but Ford could make both options available, depending on customer demand. The diesel wouldn't require all that much work, Nair said, since "we've got diesels in the portfolio." To date, the only hybrid F-150s we've seen have been conversions, often PHEVs, like this example from HVET or this one from Quantum. Pickup trucks from other manufacturers haven't been greeted with huge sales numbers. General Motors stopped making its big two-mode hybrids and cancelled the next-gen program.
