1974 Ford Econoline E-100 in original, unrestored condition. Factory 302 V8, Automatic Trans, factory Power Steering, factory A/C. This E100 is in running and driving condition but it has spent more time sitting than driving since the 1990s. Odometer reads 27000. I believe that 127000 is correct but I have no written proof supporting that. The engine starts up easy and runs well although the alternator light flickers when idling. The power steering system works but does leaks a small puddle after its parked. It may be leaking while driving as well. The leak appears to be from one of the power steering hoses but the leak could be coming from elsewhere. The factory a/c system is complete up to the discharge vent on the bulkhead behind the driver seat and seems to just barely blow cold.  The non-power brakes work well and the drums have very little miles on them. The previous owner stated the transmission and brakes were rebuilt less than 500 miles ago but I have no written proof of that. The trans case looks clean as if it were rebuilt recently and it does shifts well. It has a very nicely made dual exhaust system that sounds good. Tires hold air and have tread but are older and should be replaced before regular use. All instruments work except for the gas gauge which was working when I bought it. Most of the lights, heater, wipers all work.   Ignition and all exterior locks work with the same key. The windshield has a significant crack in it and will need to be replaced. This van will need a thorough examination of all systems before it should be used as everyday driver. That being said I recommend that the van should be trailered or shipped.

The body is fairly straight for a 40 year old van but it does have minor dents, scratches and some very light surface rust. Paint is older but not original. It has some body damage around the right rear tail light area. This van was converted into a camper in 1970s by the original owner. For sanitary reasons I have removed all of the old paneling, carpet and insulation and high pressure washed the interior. Due to being a camper it does have many small holes on the inside framing of the van from screws used to attach the paneling and some light adhesive residue from the insulation material behind the paneling. It also had a vent in the roof at one point which has been removed. A patch was made using the roof of another van and it was welded in place. It could use more finish grinding on the  welded bead to be flush and some professional hammer and dolly work to be perfect but since it is not visible from the ground it has not been done. It was painted with a closely matching color on the outside and black body sealer inside. 

Despite the description above this van would make an excellent candidate for a full or partial restoration. It is uncommon to find one these 2nd generation panel vans in a condition that is similar to how they came from the factory i.e. not cut up, customized or driven into the ground. It has a very desirable option package not normally found in an E100s that makes driving it more hospitable. I bought this van to restore at a later time but I have come across another project I am more interested in so I am selling a few of my vehicles.

This van is being sold as is, where is with no warranty written, expressed or implied. It is the buyers responsibility to perform all due diligence before bidding. It has a clear Oregon title in my name.

I will not accept Paypal for payment. I will accept cash in hand at pickup or a cashiers check from a certified bank mailed in advance to allow time for funds to clear. Funds must clear before the van leaves my possession. I will willing to hold the van for up to a month after the auction has closed if that will help you.  Once again, NO PAYPAL!

The van is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Please contact me via ebay if you have any questions or would pictures of something specific.

Ford recalls 9,900 vehicles across two campaigns

Tue, Dec 29 2015

Ford is recalling a total of 9,885 vehicles in two campaigns. The Basics: In one recall, Ford will recall 9,017 examples of the 2013 Escape with build dates from January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and the 2013-2014 Focus ST produced between May 3, 2012, and October 14, 2013. The Problem: Splices in the engine wiring harness might not have enough compression, and this can cause the manifold absolute pressure sensor to send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module. This issue could cause the engine to stall. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If You Own One: The repair campaign will begin on January 4, 2016. More Information: Ford recalled the 2013 Escape and Focus ST in August 2014 for the same problem, and this is an expansion of that campaign, according to company spokesperson John Cangany to Autoblog. The Basics: In the smaller of the two campaigns, Ford will recall 868 examples of the 2013 Explorer, Explorer Police Utility, Taurus, Taurus Police Interceptor, Flex, Lincoln MKS, and MKT. The Problem: The fuel delivery module can crack, which would cause a fuel leak. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. If You Own One: Owners should receive notice soon because NHTSA's report says the recall begins in December. More Information: According to Cangany, this recall is an expansion of a campaign from 2013 for these vehicles. RECALL Subject : Engine Wiring Splices may cause Stall Report Receipt Date: DEC 02, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V813000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 9,017 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD ESCAPE 2013 FORD FOCUS 2013-2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). CONSEQUENCE: The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush

Tue, Aug 29 2017

File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.

2015 Ford F-150's aluminum body not expected to hurt resale value

Fri, Mar 13 2015

A cloud of skepticism has hung over the 2015 Ford F-150 since even before it went on sale. The issue had nothing to do with the truck's capabilities but instead over reservations about the switch to aluminum body panels. The change helped shed about 700 pounds off the scales, but the lighter metal also came with the potential for higher repair costs. Edmunds even recently whacked its pickup with a hammer just to find out how much it would cost. However, this might not be a problem, because the latest calculations indicate resale value for the new F-150 is on the rise. The residual experts at ALG estimate that the 2015 F-150 is going to hold 58 percent of its value over the next three years, versus 52 percent for the 2014 model, according to Bloomberg. That figure also gives the Ford the highest forecasted resale value among American fullsize pickups. The 2015 Toyota Tundra leads the segment by holding 63 percent. Meanwhile, the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra both come in with 51 percent, and the Ram 1500 holds 46 percent. Finally, the 2015 Nissan Titan comes in at 42 percent. The researchers believe that the improvement in fuel economy for the 2015 F-150 at up to 26 miles per gallon highway offsets higher body repair costs. "We are giving credit for the aluminum construction in the fuel efficiency we're seeing," Eric Lyman, ALG vice president of industry insights, said to Bloomberg. "We are not putting in a negative adjustment for concerns around repair costs or durability associated with aluminum." Ford has long-been preparing for the switch to aluminum. The company purposefully designed the body sections to make repairs easier, and it also partially subsidized dealers' investments for new equipment to do the work. Related Video:
