Selling our shop van. It is the classic Rusty but Trusty vehicle.
We have owned and used the van for about a year, thoroughly testing both its 1-ton carrying capacity, and its substantial V-10 engine hauling abilities.
Please notice the V-10. This engine is strong and powerful, carried many loads through the hills of Pennsylvania for us with no problems!
Mechanically, the van is great. Engine starts right up, good oil pressure, runs cool. Transmission shifts smoothly and positively.
Previous owner used it to drive his family from Michigan to Montana for family trips frequently.
We have used it for local trips to Home Depot, and have taken it from Michigan to the Washington DC about 8 times.
I would not hesitate to drive this van anywhere, it really runs great.
BUT, it is not for the feint of heart:
It is rusty. It is rusty everywhere, body and frame. Michigan road salt has taken a toll.
There are dents in pretty much all body panels.
Windshield has 3 stone chips and a running crack. When you replace the windshield, that will probably fix the water leak above the passenger side dash.
I took a picture of the dash while running at idle at a stop light. You can see that all gauges look good.
You can also see that the airbag light is on. Not sure what this means, but I suggest wearing a seatbelt and driving accordingly.
Seats are stained and worn. But, not horrible.
There is one rear seat. It is actually one of the middle seats, but we have it sort of half latched right behind the drivers seats.
These vans are AWESOME as work trucks. There is 13 FEET of cargo length from back doors to console, between the seats. 11" clear to back of front seats. Over 14' for long skinny things that will slide under passenger seat! The longest thing we carried in it was actually 14'-6, and it sort of went diagonally up and over the passenger seat. (see note about windshield crack, above)
This van is definitely not too easy on the eyes, but it will carry anything you want to put in it, haul anything you want to tow behind it, and it won't let you down. It has been a very reliable vehicle for us.
If my reserve price of $7.00 is met, I will include a 2003 Rand McNally American Road Atlas! It is missing its cover, but still works.
I spent all 8 of my quarters just vacuuming the out the interior, so I did not get a chance to wash the exterior. But, I wouldn't have been able to wash all the ugly off anyway.
Please ask any question that I have not addressed here.
If you would like to Fly in and Drive Away, I can meet you at the Kalamazoo Michigan airport (AZO), otherwise, depending on what it sells for, I could meet you at Chicago or Detroit airports.
You may, of course, just pick it up at our shop in Kalamazoo.

Editors' Picks March 2021 | Ford Mustang Mach-E, Polestar 2, Land Rover Defender and more
Thu, Apr 8 2021The month of March was unofficial minivan month here at Autoblog. We drove all of them but the Kia Carnival, but don’t worry, you wonÂ’t have to wait much longer to read that review. Among all the family-toting machines, we drove some more exciting vehicles including the Land Rover Defender and a pair of up-and-coming EVs. It was a month of excellent cars, meaning that this monthÂ’s litter of EditorsÂ’ Picks is stacked. In case you missed FebruaryÂ’s picks, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in March that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Ford Bronco Sport 2021 Ford Bronco Sport First Edition View 32 Photos Quick take: Ford's baby Bronco is an authentic foil to the big Bronco 2-Door and 4-Door. It brings rugged styling, better-than-average off-road capability and thoughtful utility features to a generic segment of cars. Score: 8 What it competes with: Jeep Compass, Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Kia Seltos, Chevrolet Trailblazer Pros: Stellar design, excellent off-road, clever interior details throughout Cons: Pricier than most, average transmission, underwhelming interior quality and ambiance in lowest trims From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — “I genuinely enjoy driving this cute crossover. It feels like a mini truck on the road, and Ford admirably translated the design from its big Bronco over to this Escape-based crossover. News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "The Bronco Sport isn't perfect, the transmission could use some work, and it's a little bumpy, but it's a characterful little thing with loads of style, great visibility and space, and impressive capabilities on and off road in the powerful Badlands form." In-depth analysis: 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Review | Bronco for the masses  2021 Land Rover Defender 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 View 64 Photos Quick take: The Land Rover Defender provides everything you'd hope for in a modern Land Rover: superlative off-road capability, surprisingly plush on-road demeanor, abundant interior space and abundant character. The base four-cylinder is likely all you'll need and lower trim levels provide more than enough equipment.
Ford cleans up painting process with cameras
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Knowing how the bacon gets made rarely entices us and, in the same vein, the same usually goes for knowing about how new cars get painted. But in both instances, however, quality - or a lack thereof - is instantly obvious. In terms of the latter, Ford is showing off its new paint quality process with 3D Dirt Detection Technology to find imperfections in vehicle paint more easily and more quickly.
This process - being performed on the F-150 SVT Raptor above - uses 16 computer-controlled cameras to create a three-dimensional model (inset) of the vehicle to detect flaws in the paint including dirt particles, which can then be buffed out manually. Ford says this new technology cuts down on time spent looking for paint flaws and gives workers more time to correct those that are discovered.
Currently, Ford only uses its 3D Dirt Detection Technology system at three factories (the Dearborn, MI facility, along with those in Louisville, Kentucky and Valencia, Spain), but it will soon spread to five more plants in North America. Ford has released a video and press release for this innovative and unexpectedly interesting process, both of which are posted below.
