Sparta, Illinois, United States
1973 Ford Econoline E-100 Van Supervan Resto/Custom about 3 years ago. Completely stripped, primed, and repainted. Nice two-tone metallic silver/grey paintwork with custom flames outlined in metallic orange. Bodywork on interior pocket bottoms of doors done in fiber glass. Patch panels (original from the 70's, so you know they were quality, thick panels) on Driver and Passenger door. Replaced Sliding door with a spare that had no windows to truly give it that cargo look. Barn doors in the back. Complete interior floor was sprayed with bedliner. Walls were insulated, (styrofoam type) and covered with masonite throughout. Made a half wall of the same on the driver side just in front of the rear wheel well; which houses the speakers. All walls and ceiling were painted black, with the intent to cover with Diamond tuck vinyl at a later date. Never got to it. This means theres still room for customization on your part. NOS Ford Truck Bench seat from the early 80's was placed along the driver side wall. Blue in color. No other seating in the rear. Leather bucket seats up front from a toyota Scion. They look great and are very comfortable. NEW crate 302 motor built to stock specs, attahced to a rebuilt AOD 4 speed transmission. This combination works and performs great. Can cruise at 70 mph all day long. NEW aluminum radiator keeps her cool. Offset tires to give it a little bit of a hotrod feel. Manual Air shocks in the rear to assist withthe ride while hauling bikes etc. Pictures truly reflect condition. The pic with the bubbles, I believe these to be bubbles in the paint and not rust. I tried collapsing them and couldnt. Feel free to contact me with questions: (618) 303-6007 For sale locally as well so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time.

It's Official: Ford Names Mark Fields Its Next CEO
Thu, May 1 2014Alan Mulally, the man who transformed Ford Motor Co. from a dysfunctional money-loser to a thriving company, will retire July 1 and be replaced by Mark Fields, the current chief operating officer. During his eight-year tenure at Ford, Mulally gambled all of the company's assets on a credit line that kept Ford out of bankruptcy, then used a simple "One Ford" plan to change the company's culture. He was hired away from aircraft maker Boeing Co. in 2006 by Bill Ford, who at the time was running the company. Fields, 53, has been in charge of Ford's daily operations since December of 2012 and was widely expected to one day ascend to the top job. The change in leadership is taking place about six months ahead of schedule, but Ford said that was based on Mulally's recommendation that the new leaders were ready. "Alan and I feel strongly that Mark and the entire leadership team are absolutely ready to lead Ford forward, and now is the time to begin the transition," Bill Ford said in a statement Thursday morning. Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman, is the great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford. Mulally, 68, was trained as an aeronautical engineer. He spent 36 years at Boeing - and was president of the company's commercial airplane division - when Bill Ford lured him to the struggling automaker eight years ago. Mulally overcame skepticism about being an outsider in the insular ranks of Detroit car guys by quickly pinpointing the reasons why Ford was losing billions each year. Mulally put a stop to the infighting that had paralyzed the company and instituted weekly management meetings where executives faced new levels of accountability and were encouraged to work together to solve problems. It took two years for Mulally to turn the company around, but since 2009, Ford has posted pretax profits of $34.5 billion and its shares have more than doubled. Fields was one of the executives passed over when Mulally got the top job in 2006. When he was named COO in 2012, Bill Ford said Fields' decision to stay at Ford and learn from Mulally showed a lot of fortitude and has made Fields a better leader. "There was a lot of speculation about whether he was capable. To his great credit, he stuck to it, he learned from it and showed tremendous fortitude in grinding through an incredibly difficult process," Bill Ford said. This marks the second change in leadership at the top of one of the Detroit automakers this year.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.
