2008 Ford E-350 Handicapped Conversion Van
We bought this van used with around 30,000 miles on it in 2010 and had the handicapped equipment added to it in order to transport my father. It is in fantastic shape overall. It runs and drives great. The body is in excellent condition. There are no known mechanical problems. It has served us well. The van currently has 43,382 miles
The handicapped equipment was purchased from and installed by Mobility Headquarters in Houston, TX. They did a fantastic job and the equipment installed has proven itself. The lift in the side door is made by VMI. It is hydraulic powered by the van's 12V battery. It folds up so that you can safely close the doors. When you want to use it, open the double side doors and automatically fold it down, then lower it with the wired remote. The rider can then either stand on the lift, which has handrails built in, or ride onto the ramp with their standard sized wheelchair or scooter. The ramp itself is 30" wide with a lip on the left and right side, and a lip on the outer edge to keep the chair from rolling off. This lip folds down to allow entry, but folds up and locks as soon as the ramp starts to go up. You can bring the ramp up either with the remote or with a switch built into the left handhold. At the top, the rider can either step off the ramp or roll off the ramp and move on to the inside. Then you fold the ramp up using the remote control.
The rear ramp is made by Harmar Mobility and is made to haul a wheelchair or scooter. It raises and lowers with an electrical motor. It has a remote control. Push a button to bring the ramp back then down, load up your scooter or wheelchair. There are straps included to keep the chair from moving around. Strap it down(or don't, I never did), push the up button and it comes up and into the van, keeping your scooter dry and safe inside.
Seating: Currently, the only seats installed in the van are 2 captains chairs in the front. This auction includes all seats I have for the van. It originally came with 2 bench seats in the rear, which are included. We also purchased used but in good condition captains chairs to install in the rear, which are also included. I believe we paid $750 for the 2 captains chairs we never used. Neither of these options worked for my dad, so we built a bracket out of heavy flatbar and installed a recliner in the rear for him and installed a seatbelt that fit on the recliner. The recliner has been removed from the van. The bracket we built remains, as does the seat belt. You can have the recliner we installed into the van as well if you like. It is large and very comfortable, especially when the van is in motion.
The Engine on the van starts up immediately, runs perfectly, does not smoke, is smooth and powerful, and runs as well as new. The transmission shifts perfectly. The tires are all Michelin LTX M/S 10 ply tires and have around 40% tread left on them. The van drives straight down the road and is surprisingly easy to handle. The A/C works well and is very cold. All controls are in the front, but the rear has a separate blower. The radio is AM / FM / CD. It also has power windows, power locks, driver and passenger airbags, cruise control, RCS, side steps, and a receiver hitch for towing. The seats are comfortable and in great shape. The carpet has a big dirty spot where I am assuming they spilled hydraulic fluid when the side lift was installed. It has been cleaned twice and disappears but comes back after a while. I would venture to guess that one could get it out if done enough times, but it never bothered us that much so we didn't do a lot about it. This is the biggest and really the only defect on the van that I can think of. As I stated, it looks great, operates like an almost new automobile, rides well, and is comfortable to ride in.
The van is located at my business in Carmine, TX 78932. Carmine is directly between Houston and Austin on Highway 290. The van and my business are on Hwy 290, so it's easy to find. I am here almost every day all day, and can meet you pretty well anytime if you want to see it in person. You won't be disappointed. If you have any questions at all, feel free to email me or give me a call on my cell phone at 979-249-6267. My name is Bradley. If I don't answer, leave a message and I will get back to you pretty quickly.

Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival
Sun, 14 Sep 2014To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
Feds looking into Ford Explorer exhaust leak complaints
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There may be a burgeoning problem with exhaust leaks in the 2011-2014 model year Ford Explorer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is examining multiple complaints of a gasoline smell in the cabin of these SUVs. However, the exact cause of this problem is still unknown.
"The agency is reviewing all available data and will take appropriate action as warranted," said a NHTSA spokesperson in an email to Automotive News. Owners seem to generally complain on the regulator's website of the smell entering the cabin through the air vents. At this time, the government organization has not yet opened an official investigation into the problem, though. When it does begin inspecting vehicles, NHTSA posts a detailed breakdown of its public data online.
Similar problems have been reported about the Explorer in the past, though. In 2013, Ford issued a recall for the 2013 model year of the SUV due to a fuel leak that could cause drivers to smell a gasoline odor and repaired them again later for another possible leak. In response to Autoblog's questions, Ford responded via email: "We are not aware of a NHTSA investigation. We are currently reviewing the case and in the event that any action is required, we will address it promptly."
