I have some spare parts i have collected for it. It has a dent in the passenger side front fender. It has a broken rear window latch I haven't been able to find a replacement for. I have it tied together with a piece of wire until I have been able to find that part. It could use a paint job but I like the patina."

This hot rod econoline has been my Family car now for the past 3 years. I've had a lot of fun with it. We recently moved to Utah from the Portland Oregon area (Vancouver, Washington). It has been to several car shows up and down the coast in Oregon and Washington. I came across it by accident. when I traded a bronco I had, it ended up being part of the deal. I wasn't to happy about it at first but after driving it the first time I was sold. Since having it I have had the transmission gone through and re sealed. I have had the brakes re done, the suspension fixed up with new bushings and shocks, It now has power steering which is a huge plus. I also put in a stereo head unit cd player with accessory port, remote, amp, 2-10" speakers in a box, 2 tweets in the dash, 2-6" speakers in the doors and, and 2 6"x9" speakers in the back. Its loud and has good quality sound. The kids love it and its loud enough my deaf daughter can feel the music. I put in some Lincoln leather seats in the front. The stock benches are still in the back they are all in great condition. I put a new head liner in it a couple years ago. Since we have been in Utah I have had new magna flow dual exhaust put on it and had the carb rebuilt. It passes safety and emissions. Its a little cold blooded but when it warms up its a monster. The 302 (5.0) has plenty of power. It is a really good cruiser on the freeway. Nice and smooth and doesn't wander. It has a nice set of slotted mags on it. The rear tires are one size taller than the front so it has a nice rake to it. I have a few more parts that are ready to go on it I just haven't had the time since moving. They will go with it if you want them. Power brake bracket, booster and master. (that setup is hard to find). A fresh re-cored 4 core radiator. (it's also bigger out of a motor home) the little radiator in it now is fine but gets a little warm for my liking. Also an extra vent, some lights and a hood. This rig is hard to find parts for, so when I have found them I got them. This is still my family car and I drive it regularly. This van is definitely outside of the norm. But its rust free and a lot of fun to drive, it gets a lot of attention.

After Years Of Delays, Rear Visibility Requirements Move Closer To Reality

Fri, Jan 3 2014

Regulations that would require automakers to improve rear-view visibility on all new cars and light trucks are nearing completion after six years of delays. The U.S. Department of Transportation sent its proposed rear-visibility rules to the Obama administration for review on Christmas Day. The White House Office of Management and Budget now must finalize the regulations. The rule are intended to minimize the risk of pedestrian deaths from vehicles in reverse, a type of accident that disproportionately affects children. Already in 2014, two children have died from cars backing over them, driven in each case by the children's father. Specifics of the Transportation Department's proposal are not available during the review, but the rules are expected to compel automakers to install rear-view cameras as mandatory equipment on all new vehicles. That's what safety advocates have wanted all along. Thought they were pleased the proposed ruling had finally been issued, there was some worry Friday the final rules would omit the rear-view camera mandate. "We're encouraged, but we're also a little concerned about speculation the rear-view camera may not be in there," said Janette Fennell, the president and founder of Kids and Cars, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children in and around vehicles. "I'm wondering where that might be coming from." On Thursday, The Automotive News had reported the possibility the new standards could offer an alternative to rear-view cameras, such as redesigned mirrors, that improved visibility. The Office of Management and Budget typically completes its reviews of new rules in 90 days, although that can be extended. OMB officials said Friday they do not comment on pending rules. The intent of the rules is to enhance rear visibility for drivers and prevent pedestrian deaths. Approximately 200 pedestrians are backed over in the United States each year, according to estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Accidents Mostly Affect Children Roughly half the victims are children younger than age five. A government analysis concluded approximately half the victims -– 95 to 112 -– could be saved with new regulations. Yet the rules have arrived at a glacial pace. President George W. Bush signed legislation that had been passed with bipartisan Congressional support in 2008. But automakers have fought the idea of adding rear-view cameras, saying it is too expensive.

Major automakers post mixed US June sales figures

Mon, Jul 3 2017

General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV posted declines in US new vehicle sales for June on Monday, while major Japanese automakers reported stronger figures. Once again, demand for pickup trucks and crossovers offset a decline in sedan sales. Automakers' shares rose as overall industry sales still came in above Wall Street expectations. The US auto industry is bracing for a downturn after hitting a record 17.55 million new vehicles sold in 2016. Analysts had predicted that overall, US vehicle sales would fall in June for the fourth consecutive month. As the market has shown signs of cooling, automakers have hiked discounts and loosened lending terms. Car shopping website Edmunds said on Monday the average length of a car loan reached an all-time high of 69.3 months in June. "It's financially risky, leaving borrowers exposed to being upside down on their vehicles for a large chunk of their loans," said Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' executive director of industry analysis. GM said its sales fell about 5 percent versus June 2016, but that the industry would see stronger sales in the second half of 2017 versus the first half. "Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate US retail vehicle sales will remain strong for the foreseeable future." GM shares were up 2.4 percent in morning trading, while Ford rose 3.3 percent and FCA shares jumped 6 percent. "US total sales are moderating due to an industry-wide pullback in daily rental sales, but key US economic fundamentals clearly remain positive," said GM chief economist Mustafa Mohatarem. "Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate US retail vehicle sales will remain strong for the foreseeable future." Ford said its sales for June were hit by lower fleet sales to rental agencies, businesses, and government entities, which fell 13.9 percent, while sales to consumers were flat. But it sold a record 406,464 SUVs in the first half of the year, with Explorer sales increasing 23 percent in June. And sales of the F-150 had their strongest June since 2001. On a media call, Ford executives said an initial read of automakers' sales figures indicated a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of around 17 million new vehicles for the month, which would be better than 16.6 million units analysts had predicted. FCA said June sales decreased 7 percent versus the same month a year earlier.

J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
