One of a kind. Only 13875 miles on this van. All original equipment, no aftermarket add ons. Top of the line XLT was a $32,000 van in 1993 when sold new. All original paint, no touchup work. No accidents, never smoked in. Paint shines nearly good as day it left the factory with very few small surface scratches. Black paint from Ford was not clearcoated in 1993, so it takes some elbow grease to maintain shine. Silver is clearcoat. Paint is awesome looking when clean. No rust or corrosion, always been in Colorado. New windshield with 1 mile on it. Interior is beautiful with very few imperfections, a couple small stains here and there, but there is a 12"x2" place under the 3rd seat where something spilled and looks discolored. Otherwise interior is fantastic. I bought this van 11/93 with 4000 miles on it. It was used as a van to move staff and actors for the Perry Mason series filmed here in Denver. Any reflections in the pictures are just that, there are no scrapes or road dents on this van, not even one door ding.

Runs perfect, no leaks of any kind. Air conditioning works great. Has front and rear air and heat, rear audio controls, all top of the line in 1993. Tires have 11/32" of tread remaining, but are 10yrs old with 6000 miles on them. Look good with no cracks. Now for any bad news, which I'll disclose, some hail damage, mostly on the roof and silver part of driver door and trim around the doors. The trim is rubber like and shows the dents, you really have to look at the right angle to see any small dents in the door, hardly worth mentioning, but they are there. The roof paint still shines like new, so looking at just the right angle there are small hail dents, and also a few small dents near the 3rd brake lamp on the roof that were there when I got the van. No hail damage to hood. The passenger mirror is cracked and electrically does not move in/out. Up and down work fine and glass can be set by hand. Intermittent wipers switch seems defective as some positions work, some do not and also paint is all missing from the wiper arms. Other than these small items, this is for all intents and purposes a new van, so don't let the age worry you. You will be more than happy driving this van. 7.5L 460 engine gets 14-15mpg highway if driven sensibly, and has power to spare. A very strong runner. Please ask any questions here or call me at 303-526-6765 or anyone wants to see and drive it in the area is fine, although it is not insured any longer. Please only real bidders, and don't tell me bluebook value, as I doubt bluebook price is for a 13875 miles van. $500 due soon as possible after auction end by Paypal and remainder due at pickup of the van by certified funds. Must be picked up here in Denver. Thanks.

2013 Ford F-150 Limited

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.

2015 Galpin Ford GTR1

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
