Up for sale is my 1999 Ford Windstar SE minivan. This is the upgraded model with two sliding doors, leather interior, middle captains chairs, and virtually every other factory option included. I've paid for quite a few maintenance items over the last 12 months so you won't have to. These include: new battery, all new front suspension assemblies, and I even had Ford completely replace/upgrade the sub frame which was a free recall on this year/model so you even get a brand new sub frame installed (done). Despite the fairly high mileage, this van starts every day, every time, and runs strong. With the repair listed below completed, this van is likely to run for many more miles and if you're looking for a great deal on a van with an awesome interior/options package, you won't find one nicer than this.

Needed Repair:
The only item that needs repair right now is what my mechanic tells me is the torch converter within the transmission. Despite the actual part not being all that expensive he says the shop that replaces/repairs the transmission will have to take it all apart which is fairly time consuming. I've received one quote for about $1600 for a completely rebuilt transmission to be installed but I'd be willing to be that you could get it done cheaper if you had a transmission shop only replace the torch converter. However, my mechanic recommends that if the cost is close to just go ahead and get a new (rebuilt) trans. so you'll essentially have a new van transmission-wise. I could likely get $3000 for this van if it had no issues but I want to be upfront about this needed repair and it has been built into the price.

Condition: 
This van is the standard Ford light green/gray color. There are a few small misc scuffs on the exterior but nothing more than you'd expect of a vehicle this age. There is a portion of the lower panels near the rear tires that is starting to rust which appears to be completely normal of a Windstar this age as I've seen many around town with similar wear & tear in this pattern. The van has the original/factory V6 engine it in with 162700 miles.  There is one small issue that I wanted to describe though it doesn't impact anything:  the passenger side mirror housing must have been bumped by a pedestrian somewhere along the line because the housing jiggles a bit but the power mirror works fine and there is nothing wrong with the mirror itself.  Again, not a big deal but I want to be perfectly clear with any/all issues with parts.

Overall, this is a great-running van and I'm only selling it because I finally bought a new vehicle, I'm moving out of state for a new job, and I no longer have a need for this van. I've invested over $1000 in upkeep and upgrades to buy new parts and keep the van in good shape (most of that cost was replacing the entire front suspension, springs, housing assembly, etc. I'm located in Traverse City and I own the vehicle free&clear.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona

Thu, 10 Oct 2013

Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.
