1999 Ford E350 Super Duty 7.3L Turbo-Diesel Ambulance Camper/RV Van Conversion Project

I am the first private owner of this ambulance (and you would be the second) after it was retired from a Kansas hospital fleet with a perfect maintenance record.

It requires no special license to register/drive, and is insurable as a commercial vehicle (commercial because of its weight class). As long as the red lights are blacked-out, it is completely street-legal in every state. 

The exterior decoration includes the tibetan "om mani padme hum" sutra repeated in the decal stripe (the same mantra that is written on prayer flags/prayer wheels), yin-yangs in the p-wave of the EKG, and rainbow peace signs outlining the blue medical stars-of-life.

Potential uses include:

bare-bones road living (like myself)
camper conversion project (e.g., adding plumbing, solar power, vegetable oil conversion, etc.)
tailgate/party bus conversion project (i.e., "jam-bulance")
mobile billboard (turns heads like crazy)
work vehicle (e.g., tool truck)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vehicle details:
Quality heavy-duty engine (with block heater) and 1-ton chassis (the 7.3's have a great reputation)
<127k miles (of which 20k were from me)
~12 mpg
All new commercial tires(6) plus 1 new full-size spare
"Air ride" rear axle suspension
Fresh oil and brand new fuel filter
Passes emission standards as of April 2013
Full safety inspection shows everything in good condition with two exceptions: 1) needs new rear brakes 2) speedometer needle does not function (however, VSS, odometer, and trip meter are all fully functional)
There are some dents and scratches around the body

Camper conversion details:
Wheeled Coach brand ambulance box
Fully insulated walls, tinted windows, 2 rear and 1 side doors
3 AC wall-outlets with 120V inverter off of the engine plus a standard-socket external hookup line
Box heat/ac with thermostat control
10' Camping Awning
Propane stove (plus propane, which is stored in the ventilated oxygen compartment), and microwave included
Sink area is non-functional, I used the area for water tank storage
Coat hanger plus 2 shelves in closet space (doors closed in photo), additional modular storage along right wall
Dual bike hooks in the rear
Overhead lighting: adjustable-brightness incandescent, red-tinted fluorescent, and LED push-lights
TONS of internal and external storage space


I have comfortably lived on the road out of this ambulance conversion for two years, but the time has come for me to move on. However, take it from me, the novelty of this small camper / bad-ass machine will bring you more adventures than any other vehicle on the market.

Alan Mulally talks about why Ford's Falcon had to die

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

When Ford made the decision to end production of the Falcon sedan and Territory CUV in Australia, it wasn't a popular move Down Under. The large, four-door Falcon had been in production for 50 years, and while Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to the Australian market, it's understandable that some people still aren't all that crazy about the Blue Oval's decision.
Speaking to CEO Alan Mulally after Ford's Go Further event in Sydney, Australian site Go Auto reports that the decision was not one made lightly, and that the automaker is doing everything possible to respect the Falcon and Territory's "stakeholders." It's an interesting piece that shows a softer side of a corporation, while demonstrating that Ford is doing everything in its power to make the end of production as smooth as possible for all parties.
Head over to Go Auto for the full series of remarks from Mulally, and then let us know what you think of Ford's handling of the Falcon and Territory discontinuations, in Comments.

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.

Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).
