South Amboy, New Jersey, United States

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2011 FROM THE TOWNSHIP OF HOPEWELL NJ. IT WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND IN GOOD RUNNING CONDITION WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 29,752 MILES. I INSTALLED 2 NEW BATTERIES, A PIONEER CD PLAYER AND SPEAKERS, AND ACQUIRED 2 SPARE WHEELS AND TIRES. I HAVE USED IT FOR WORK AND PLAY FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS. IT STARTS EASY, RUNS STRONG, AND HAS GONE RIGHT THROUGH NJ INSPECTION EVERY YEAR. IT IS STILL IN VERY GOOD SHAPE, SEE PICS. I DO JOBSITE SURVEYING, MEASURING, AND FIELD ENGINEERING. THIS MADE AN EXCELLENT FIELD OFFICE AND LUNCH ROOM. FOLD UP TABLE IS BIG ENOUGH TO OPEN LARGE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS. I ALSO BUILD AND FLY LARGE SCALE RADIO CONTROLLED AIRPLANES. WITH PLENTY OF LIGHTING AND 120V OUTLETS IT MAKES A GREAT MOBILE SHOP FOR THE FLYING FIELD. ALL THE LIGHTS AND OUTLETS WORK. FLOODS ON BOTH SIDES AND REAR PROVIDE PLENTY OF LIGHT WHEN USED FOR HUNTING OR CAMPING. A FELLOW EMPLOYEE DONATED A TV AND CONVERTER BOX WHICH WORKED GREAT. THEY ARE INCLUDED. MOST JOBSITES PROVIDED 120V POWER, BUT SOME REQUIRED THE USE OF A GENERATOR. IT IS INCLUDED. THIS IS A GREAT TRUCK IN GOOD CONDITION, SEE PICS. CAB HAS SOME BODY RUST JUST STARTING. THERE IS NO RESERVE AND I WILL NOT RELIST.

I AM ADDING THE FOLLOWING BASED ON "MY MEMORY" OF A CONVERSATION I HAD WITH THE TOWNSHIP OFFICIAL WHO SHOWED ME THE TRUCK.

IT STARTED LIFE WITH THE FIRST AID DEPT AS AN AMBULANCE, AT SOME POINT IT WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE POLICE DEPT AND RETROFITTED AS A MOBILE COMMAND CENTER, AND FINALLY IT WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE UTILITIES DEPT WHO ADDED THE FOLD UP TABLE AND TRAILER HITCH. AT SOME POINT IT WAS RETIRED AND SAT FOR ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE I TOOK POSESSION.

Performance CNG wants to crowdfund natural gas-powered Ford Mustang

Fri, May 16 2014

Soliciting investments to develop a street-legal compressed natural gas (CNG) powered Ford Mustang that can deliver 470 horsepower certainly wouldn't make sense on a site called Indiestopstop. Nope, Indiegogo is the more-appropriately-named site that one Michigan entrepreneur is using to try and crowdfund his CNG 'Stang. He's looking to raise $55,000. Michigan's Daryl Patrishkoff and his company Performance CNG LLC showed off their converted 2003 Mustang last year at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Royal Oak, MI in an effort to get some exposure for the car, which can run on both gas and CNG. The company and its three-man team is looking to further develop the project in the name of a fueling source that is 40 percent cheaper than gasoline, throws off as much as 30 percent fewer tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions and makes the country less dependent on foreign oil. Performance CNG estimates that just 120,000 of the world's 15 million CNG-powered vehicles are in the US and is calling for more. As for the $55 grand, Patrishkoff estimates that more than half of that amount would be committed to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) testing of emissions, fuel economy and horsepower. The problem? As of right now, only $150 has been raised. Check out Performance CNG's press release below and see the fundraising effort on Indiegogo here. Eco-Friendly Muscle Car? CNG vehicles save money, emit less pollution and creates jobs from American-mined fuel SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich., May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Daryl Patrishkoff of Shelby Township, MI, has a vision for the American automotive industry. He firmly believes that our fuel of choice should be Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), not gasoline. Until the full CNG infrastructure is in place a Bi-Fuel vehicle, fueled by either CNG or gasoline upon the drivers command, is the bridge vehicle that can lead this transition. Patrishkoff heads up a (3) man technical team developing this technology. The advantages are: 40 percent savings in fuel costs at the pump 25-30 percent reduction in harmful emissions 100 percent US provided natural gas Meaningful employment for the US economy The most important benefit, however, is that a CNG-powered vehicle runs on fuel that can be mined in America, eliminating the need for foreign oil. "After decades of political rhetoric, these types of vehicles can truly lead the US to energy independence," he said.

Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.

Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.
