My success rate has been 100%. The reason for that is simple,be fare with people and hopefully they will return the favor by being fare and honest back too you!.At least 3 of the vehicles I have sold over the past 7 yrs. have been to out of state buyers,one from Texas,one from Oaklahoma,and one from Indiana. I live 5 minutes outside of Chicago and 5 minutes from Ohare airport.The reason for this long explaination about my history is simple. These adds cost money and time and I don't wish to waste either your time or my money on someone bidding for fun. If you make a bid please be sure of what you are doing. All I ask is that you follow through with good intentions of buying this vehicle, if you happen to be high bidder.Do your homework and trust, that what I tell you is honest, and please extend me the same.Now about the van.
The van is a 1997 Ford Econoline E150 conversion van.The vehicle has 148262 miles on it. The van is in very good shape,overall and considering it is 16 yrs old I think it is great! The exterior of the van is totally dent and ding free. The paint still shines beautiful and does not have any scratches or rock chips to speak of.There is some rust over the wheel wells and I took pictures of both wheel wells to show that it is not bad! The interior is very clean especially the seats both front and back.The dash and all door panels are excellent and clean.The carpeting in the back has worn and has some discoloration,but not bad considering all of the action the back gets.
The van has the following features.It has a 4.8 Triton V-8 engine,the smaller of the 2 V-8 engines available, better on gas! The van has power everything inc.windows, door locks seats and power mirrors.It has and am/fm cassette,I know a joke! Right? The van has front and rear air which blows cold and heats hot! There is a homemade center console which is great,and behind the front 2 seats is a flat screen t.v with dvd,great for kids!The van has a tow package and a romote starter- alarm too!The van has 2 captains chairs in front and 2 behind- no third row bench seat so the van seats 4.The space in the back has always come in handy for hockey equipment or to haul band equipment while still seating 4. A bench can be purchased for cheap money and bolted down,I never had the need!
The van runs excellent and the tires are strong-Michellins.Everything works mechanically including all the gauges.I cant think of anything the van needs.The title is clear and so is the car-fax,never in an accident. I can not think of anything else,and if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me and I will be glad to answer as honestly as I can. There will be "no reserve" on this van so whoever is the high bidder-no matter what price will win the auction!

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
Junkyard Gem: 1993 Mercury Topaz GS Sedan
Sat, Aug 13 2022As long as the Mercury brand existed — a period spanning the 1939 through 2011 model years — nearly every Mercury sold in the United States was more or less a redecorated Ford model. The Torino had its Montego sibling, the Crown Victoria had the Grand Marquis, the Cougar was based on everything from the Mustang to the Mondeo, and so on. Naturally, when the folks in Dearborn developed the Ford Tempo compact, a Mercury version had to be created. This was the Topaz, with the official launch of both cars taking place on the deck of the aircraft carrier often referred to as the USS Decrepit. You can't make this stuff up! The Tempo/Topaz, also known as the Tempaz, has largely faded from our collective automotive memory by now, since it broke no significant new engineering or styling ground (this story would be much different if Ford had only put the amazing straight-eight "T-Drive" Tempaz powertrain into production) and didn't have any endearing features other than being a cheap domestic competitor to the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra. Still, close to 3 million Tempazes left North American Ford and Lincoln-Mercury showrooms during the 1984-1994 period. As you'd expect, most of these disposable cars disappeared from both the street and the car graveyard long ago. It takes a very special Tempaz for me to break out my camera while I'm patrolling my local wrecking yards; generally, this means an ultra-rare all-wheel-drive version or at least a very early model in super-clean condition. Today's Junkyard Gem is neither, but I took one look at this spectacular Bordello Red crypto-velour-and-slippery-plastic interior and recognized that this was no ordinary junkyard Mercury. It appears that Mercury had dropped the idea of clever names for base-grade seat fabrics by the time of the Topaz, referring to this stuff as just "cloth" in all the brochures I could find. That's too bad, because Mercurys had cool names for upholstery (e.g., Chromatex) in the old days. The interior is in very good condition but the steering wheel shows substantial wear, so I think this is a high-mile Topaz that got meticulous care from its owner or owners. Ford used five-digit odometers on these cars until the end of production, however, so we'll never know if this reading indicates 65,404 miles or 365,404 miles. The body is very straight, but there's some nasty corrosion behind the right front wheelwell.
