DIESEL CAMPER/RV/TOY HAULER/BUS

SO MANY POSSIBILITIES

2002 E-450 Toy Hauler with a 7.3 Turbo Diesel. We have been using this vehicle for the past 3 years to sell our automotive paint products at car shows.

The front half has been converted to a very comfortable living quarter that consists of a futon that makes into a very comfortable double bed with a single bed on top, enabling it to sleep three people. It also comes with a remote power generator and a 1000 watt invertor system that will power the electric auxiliary heater. It comes with a 22” flat screen color TV, DVD player and refrigerator, as well as lighting while you go down the road.

Then when you stop you can either plug into a 110 hook up or power the whole rig with the quiet 110 generator. This vehicle was in use from when it was new as an airport shuttle and then the last three years on the road for us going to automotive swap meets. This vehicle has 200,000 miles but has always had professional routine service so it is as dependable as a new one.

I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle to California and back with no issues. It has no oil or fluid leaks, lots of power and gets 13 to 15 MPG highway.

It has two ramps you can use to load a 4 wheeler, golf cart, or two motorcycles in the 8x8 ft cargo area in the rear. We also have the original wheel chair lift we removed that is available for purchase for an additional $300.00 that works perfect for 4 wheelers and motorcycles. It also has a class 2 hitch.

Condition as follows, HOT HEATER, COLD AIR, 3 BATTERIES ONLY ONE YEAR OLD, BRAKES RECENTLY CHANGED, REAR FOUR TIERS 50 T0 60% TREAD, FRONT TIERS NEW, NEW INJECTORS THIS YEAR, AS WELL AS NEW LIFETIME STARTER, BELTS, HOSES ALL NEW THIS YEAR, 15,000 MILES ON REBUILT TRANSMISSION LAST YEAR.

Bid with confidence this would be great for many uses. With the economy we are down sizing out fleet so this truck is selling at NO RESERVE AUCTION. If you are the last bidder you will own it.

Fly in and drive it home or we will deliver for $1.25 per mile (pre payment only)

$500.00 deposit within 24 hours……balance within 3 days.

Vehicle can be stored here up to 30 days at no charge,,,,,$25.00 per month thereafter.

Any questions please call Rob at 417-860-8950.

GOODLUCK AND HAPPY BIDING

***Special note: The shelving and folding tables pictured in the cargo area at the rear of the bus not included in sale and will be removed before picked up.

Chris Harris checks out Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang

Thu, Dec 4 2014

Ken Block's Hoonicorn, which stars in Gymkhana Seven, might still bear a passing resemblance to a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang, but underneath the skin, the car is one of the baddest custom machines to ever do a smoky burnout on the road. The ever enthusiastic British auto journalist Chris Harris is now showing what really makes Block's new ride tick on video, and Harris even gets to go for quite a ride. The only Mustang components really left on the Hoonicorn are the A-pillar, B-pillar and roof, according to Harris. Everything else is ditched to create Block's ultimate Gymkhana tool. The 845-horsepower, 6.7-liter Rousch Yates V8 sits behind the front axle, and the grunt is routed to all four wheels through a Sadev gearbox usually found on Dakar Rally vehicles. The whole drivetrain is packed with cool little touches; like that giant handbrake that also disconnects power from the front wheels when in use. The superlatives about the Hoonicorn could go on forever, but settle in and let a very excited Harris tell you about just some of them. He's like a kid in a candy store here, and the look that combines surprise, fear and joy during his ride with Block is the kind that lacks a suitable word in the English language.

Ford will add lots of carbon fiber to new vehicles

Sat, Apr 18 2015

With BMW receiving a bunch of positive press for its usage of carbon fiber to build its i3 and i8 plug-in vehicles, Ford is jumping into that game as well. The US automaker has reached a manufacturing agreement with Dow Chemical to speed up the use of that material in Blue Oval vehicles. Carbon fiber usage will cut weight from Ford's new products, boosting fuel efficiency as a result. Ford will work with DowAksa, a 50/50 joint venture between Dow Chemical and Turkey-based Aksa Akrilik Kimya Sanayii A.S, on a manufacturing partnership. The goal is to speed up technology research to make it cheaper to make cars and trucks with carbon fiber materials. Ford's light-weighting efforts received a boost of sorts this week when its aluminum-body 2015 F-150 was awarded a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's testing, making this year's version the safest to date. The new body construction cut 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. Take a look at Ford's press release about DowAksa below. FORD, DOWAKSA TO JOINTLY DEVELOP CARBON FIBER FOR HIGH-VOLUME AUTOMOTIVE LIGHT-WEIGHTING APPLICATIONS Ford and DowAksa formalize agreement to advance the adoption of cost-effective carbon fiber components through technology validation and proof of concept to reduce vehicle weight and increase fuel efficiency without sacrificing strength Agreement provides pathway for a high-volume manufacturing partnership New joint development agreement accelerates joint research announced in January in partnership under new U.S. composites manufacturing institute Ford and DowAksa today signed a joint development agreement (JDA) to formally advance research on cost-effective, high-volume manufacturing of automotive-grade carbon fiber, a material poised to play a significant role in the drive to make vehicles lighter for greater fuel efficiency, performance and capability. The agreement, between Ford Motor Company, Ford Global Technologies and DowAksa – a 50/50 joint venture between The Dow Chemical Company and Aksa Akrilik Kimya Sanayii A.S Â– will combine DowAksa's feedstock capacity, carbon fiber conversion and downstream intermediates production capabilities with Ford's expertise in design, engineering and high-volume manufacturing. The goal is to produce materials that make cost-effective carbon fiber composite parts that are much lighter than steel but meet automotive strength requirements.

2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.
