Up for sale is my 1964 Ford Econoline E-100. This cars runs strong and regularly! The old original 160ci inline 6 is gone and has been replaced with a Ford 289 V-8 with a 2-barrel Holley carb, headers, and straight side pipes from Patriot which makes this ride not only sound great but it can also haul a 1000lbs of lumber in the back and go straight up a hill without even noticing it. I've spent a lot of time and money getting this thing to where it is. It's got a standard Ford 9" rear-end, custom billet oil and transmission pan, maltese cross peep mirrors, salt flat hub caps, and much much more. The underside and the cargo area has been completely sprayed with rubber underlayment to help protect and deaden the sound. The pipes are set up for flame throwers as well. I mounted the underbody lights but haven't hooked up the switch yet. The rear cargo area is carpeted I added a second air vent for the passengers side. Seat belts have been added. The folks before me covered the engine housing with padding and cup holders.
The cargo space in this van is actually quite impressive for its size. I've got a number of brand new finish parts and trim (all nice and shiny) from Mac's that I was waiting to put on until everything was absolutely complete. I also have a number of OEM and aftermarket goodies again that I was planning to put on that will go with the vehicle (electric window conversions, hazard lights, etc). The paint job is about 5 years old now. The body is pretty straight (no major dents) only a few dings here and there. The normal rust spots you usually find on this car are there (along the gutter rails on all corners, the bottom left and right corners of the windshield and bottom corners of the doors) . This van sounds great and always turns heads but it does still need a good deal of cosmetic work. 3-Speed Automatic. 119,000 total miles (approximately 15,000 on new engine). More Photos available upon request.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction
Wed, 19 Mar 2014We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.
