Please before bidding review my history of selling and buying on e-bay. While my history is somewhat short,it is perfect. I have sold the last 6 or so cars that I have owned on e-bay. 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! Please bid with confidence and please be fare with the rest of the bidders by bidding with 100% intention to buy! Good luck and again thank you. Rich

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
