This sale is for a: 1996 Ford E350 1-ton SuperVan Chateau 15 passenger window van. I have owned this van since new. I purchased it in Marquette, Michigan and drove it to where we lived in Casa Grande, Arizona. The raised roof was installed along with the UVL (under vehicle lift) wheelchair lift in Phoenix, Arizona. The van spent most of its life in the southwest. Five years in Casa Grande, AZ and six years in El Paso, TX. It is has been in Marquette, MI since October of 2006. There are some areas of rust starting to appear. Some of the pictures show the spots. I have not noticed any rust outs, but where paint has lifted and the metal surface has been exposed to the elements, the surface is rusted. The front seats were reupholstered, but the driver’s seat is coming apart at the seam were it is rubbed getting in and out. The rest of the seats are original and are in excellent condition. I don’t think the rear seat has ever been sat in. It had been removed for the UVL electric/hydraulic pump system. All the passenger seats to make it a 15 passenger van are included. The one right behind the drivers seat is not mounted as to allow access for a wheelchair. The wheelchair tie-down straps are included and the floor tabs are still installed. The rear seat is included but is not installed as the UVL electric/hydraulic system is mounted in the back and takes up part of the room required to mount the seat. The present configuration allows for eight people seated and one wheelchair tied down. The carpet is showing it’s age with some wear and stains. No smells! All the gauges work. The factory original radio with cassette player works. The dual air conditioning works. The rear heater is presently disconnected due to a leak in the line that runs above the UVL from the engine to the heater. It runs the original 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel engine which had rebuilt injectors and new glow plugs installed for the first time last year. New injector harnesses were installed as well. The engine has had the oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles depending on the severity of the weather and the use of the vehicle. I did do some towing with it in the heat and through the mountains so would change the oil more often. The brakes were all gone through almost 2 years ago with new drums, rotors, pads, shoes, etc. The transmission was replaced at a Ford dealer in El Paso, about 10 years ago. It still works well, and as the engine, it has received regular maintenance. The Traction-Lock rear end was rebuild about 6 years ago, due to a bad bearing on the unit. The rear hub-caps are missing. Plastic tabs broke and at different times the hubcaps passed me while going down the road. The aluminum wheels are showing their age and could use a stripping, polishing and a clear coating in order to look good again. But they serve well as they are. All five tires are 16 inch radial tires with very good tread left on them. If you purchase the van, you are welcome to all the records I have available on it. The UVL has not been used in at least 6-8 months, and was operating slowly when last used. It should be cleaned and serviced as needed. Lately (lack of use?) it has given me a few times when it would not start right up. If I let it sit for a few minutes and go back to it, let the glow plugs cycle, and crank it, it fires right up. Every time the dealer hooks the tester up to it, it starts right up. They have not been able to get a trouble code on it. The thinking at this point is, it may be the high pressure oil pump for the injectors is not giving enough pressure ... sometimes! But as stated, if I wait for a few minutes and try again, it starts up. If you are bidding to buy you need to know this information as you are buying it as is and I want you to know all the facts. The van has served our family well. The reason we are selling it is we are no longer in need of such a large vehicle. It carried our family of seven for many years, 3 of whom were in wheelchairs. It towed car trailers for me when I would go to car shows and swap meets. It is a powerhouse of a vehicle and with some additional regular care should have a lot of life left in it. THE FINE PRINT and THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW: I am sure I have left some details out, so check out the pictures, reread what I have written, e-mail me with your questions AND then bid. The Club Wagon is being sold as is, where is. There is no warranty stated, written, or implied. This is a 19 year old vehicle, bought in October of 1995. As any vehicle of this vintage it may need a few things done. I would encourage you to inspect the vehicle first. I have given any info as to the needs of the van, as I know them, in the most honest manner. I like the van, having owned it since new, and may have inadvertently overlooked some of it’s clunks, rattles, and little quirks. You will be satisfied with my honest description. Yes, there is a reserve. No, I will not give that out. If you cannot live without the truck, make me an offer I cannot refuse and I’ll set a Buy It Now price for you to purchase the truck. e-mail me with questions. I will gladly call serious buyers if you send your phone and best time to call, but I am not available Sunday mornings. A nonrefundable deposit of $500.00 must be made within 48 hours of the end of auction. It may be made either by PayPal or U.S.P.S. Postal Money Order (any other type of funds will be considered nonpayment). BALANCE is due within 7 days of the end of the auction or (which ever occurs first) prior to picking the vehicle up, shipping the vehicle, or receiving delivery of the vehicle from the seller. BALANCE must be by wire transfer, cash or other funds that are verifiable and guaranteed at the time of exchange. I will work the details out with the purchaser. NEITHER THE VEHICLE NOR THE TITLE WILL BE GIVEN OUT UNTIL THE FUNDS ARE FULLY EXCHANGED, VERIFIED, AND USABLE IN MY ACCOUNT. The car is sold as is, where is, however, I will work with you and/or your shipper on being available. Buyer pays all shipping and insurance costs. The winning bidder is responsible for any and all title, plates, taxes, transfers, inspections, insurance, and any other charges related to the purchase of the car. As always, I retain the right to end the auction for any reason, including if sold through another venue.
Thank you for looking and have a great day. I forgot to mention it has never been in an accident nor has it been repainted. Yes there are a few parking lot dings from a people being careless. But never a highway or major accident. Thanks. |

European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.
Ford's cars being held up in Chinese ports in trade tensions with U.S.
Wed, May 9 2018BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's imported vehicles are being held up at Chinese ports, three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, underscoring how U.S. goods are facing increased customs scrutiny in China amid a tense trade standoff. The three people said Ford and Lincoln vehicles were facing unusual delays at customs, with officials asking for extra technical checks. Two of the people said U.S.-made models of some German carmakers, mainly SUVs, being brought into China, were also affected. Ford was being asked to do extra checks on emission components, said a China-based Ford executive familiar with the matter, asking not be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. China's customs agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The holdups add to a growing list of American products facing issues at China's borders, as officials try to avert a full-blown trade war. Some trade experts said they believe Beijing is sending a defiant warning to Washington in response to sweeping U.S. trade demands made on China last week. Reuters reported Tuesday that China had ramped up inspections of pork shipped from the United States, after the country's customs agency said it would step up quarantine checks on American apples and logs. The second person, a China-based industry official with knowledge of the matter, said the delays for Ford — as well as some U.S.-made cars from BMW and Mercedes-Benz — had been going on for the last two weeks. "Customs pretends there are technical non-conformities of some nature that won't allow them to clear these U.S.-made cars through customs, but the U.S.-China trade frictions must be the background to this," he said. "Although no one will officially admit it." Responding to a request for comment from Reuters, a BMW spokesman said that "U.S.-made BMW cars have not been delayed at the ports as of last week and before." A Daimler spokeswoman said it was "monitoring the situation closely" regarding ongoing trade talks between China and the United States, but that she could not speculate further on other matters. The third person said the Ford issue, which had been noted by the United States government, and other holdups facing American goods, were clearly related to the trade dispute. A Ford spokeswoman in Shanghai when asked about the matter said: "We are closely monitoring our situation at the port." She declined to comment further.
