This auction is for an awesome, STREET LEGAL ambulance. You can use this for a variety of things, work, perhaps camping even! Ford, 1986, E-Series (350) XL Supervan, V8 7.5L engine! Hate to see this go, but I simply don't use it enough to justify paying the insurance on it every year. Love this thing! Front-wheel drive, automatic. Cruise control capabilities via special buttons on the steering wheel. When I purchased it, it had been recently refurbished (2010) by the workshop that originally was contracted as the mechanic for the EMS company where it originated in Elkton, VA. At the time, the engine had only 100 HOURS on it, and I only put an additional 500 and some, for a total hour usage on the engine of only 628.15 hours! So I didn't use it very much, took it on some band trips to upper state New York and a few other places, used it to move some things within town, and that was about it, other than as an emergency vehicle if the wife needed to use the car out of state. Mileage is as listed in this auction, I only put about 3000 on it from when I purchased it, so it still has decent mileage for its age. The transmission was replaced before I bought it, and I recently had brand new tires placed on it for inspection (Novmember 2012) and a new muffler only a month ago. The chasis was built on the E-Series vans, but it has A LOT more space and has been slightly modified, with some cool perks that come along with it.
This has been stripped of all components that would make it illegal to drive (such as the lights and light console that would attach to the front next to the two main seats). I actually still have this console and the lights, if you'd want them for some reason, but they CANNOT be used on this vehicle to have it driven as a street vehicle. Since this was not originally for the public, it gets roughly 13.5 miles to the gallon, pretty impressive considering that it's original, base weight was over 7000 pounds with all the original equipment inside. Two gas tanks! Together, you can fill it to about 35 gallons, the numbers are a little strange. The front tank seems to be around 11.5 gallons and the back around 23. Either way, this is important. The gas meter for the rear tank doesn't work, a common problem with some Ford vehicles from this period. However, the front does, up to halfway, though sometimes it strangely will show more sometimes, not sure why. This is good, because you don't need to have them replaced unless you really need to (you're looking at around $700 parts and labor to replace the tanks). The ONLY thing wrong with them are the meters. But, due to the fact that you have two tanks, you can do what I always did, keep them both filled, run the rear tank, when it literally runs out of gas, simply flip the switch under the steering wheel to go to the front tank (without having to turn off the vehicle at all), and continue driving, filling up the rear next time you can, topping off the front, and switching back to the rear. So, in spite of the fact that you don't know exactly how much gas you have left in the rear, it doesn't matter, because you have a back-up tank to use. Remember, this thing was to save lives back in the day. Due to this, it gets decent gas mileage, as I already mentioned, and it can accelerate FAST. Especially comfortable on long trips on the highway, with an easy-to-use and fluid cruise control system on the steering wheel. Two main doors, driver and passenger, as well as a third seat facing the opposite direction. It also had a special seat for workers originally that had a heater and air conditioning unit under it. I removed this, and then spliced off the coolant line (you can see it sticking up in the picture of the back towards the rear doors). The only reason I did this is because I only had non-heat resistant tubing, and I wanted to make it easy to access in case I needed to. You can easily remove the clamps, put the tubing under the chassis, and cover the holes. It works just fine as it is, though. This created TONS of space in the back, in addition to the higher head room, cool bars for support, and lots of storage that was built into it. You have a large side door that opens in two parts, and a rear door as well that does the same thing.
This vehicle is in WORKING CONDITION, but it could use a little cleaning, maybe a cool paint job. I've used it now for two years, with NO problems. However, please note, this is still an AS-IS sale. I'm not good enough with cars to tell you how it will work or what could go wrong a year, even a month from now. However, I've had no problems with it, and it's passed inspection the two years I've had it so far. As mentioned above, brand new tires (that's around $1000 alone, not cheap), and a new muffler I put on a month ago (about $315 in parts and labor there). The only thing to note, mentioned to me by my mechanic here last inspection, is that he thinks there is a small hole in the manifold somewhere, but thankfully not the intake. He told me it could be anywhere along the pipe towards the engine, and I BELIEVE I found it when I replaced the muffler, as I found a hole in the part of the original pipe I cut to replace the old muffler. So, I think that problem is fixed, but keep in mind there may be a hole farther up that might need fixed depending on where you live. Runs great, but is a little quirky to start up, because you have to activate both tanks. Two quick pumps of the pedal, turn the key, let it rev a little, let go, and let it start. If it doesn't, and it probably won't if you let it sit more than a week, stomp the pedal all the way to the floor, hold it for a second. Release, and then turn the key again, for the same result usually. After that, DO NOT pump the pedal anymore, simply turn the key, release, and continue until it catches. Once it gets going, it will usually shut off, and then start up with the next key turn. If you're using it at least every other day, you shouldn't have much problem starting it. I'm not sure why it does this, but it ALWAYS has started up for me eventually, no problems, it's just a little quirky and requires some patience until you get used to it, if you don't mind being a little embarrassed sometimes! One other thing to note is that, at least with my insurance company, due to its weight it had to be listed as COMMERCIAL, a nice tax write-off if you're going to use it for a small business, and not terribly expensive. For only liability coverage, I was paying $365 for the entire year. The heating works well, not sure about the air because I never actually needed it when I drove it, so that might need checked. The fan does run when you switch it to air, but it definitely is going to need coolant if it's working in that regard. Other than that, and issues mentioned above, I love this thing, and I hate to see it go, but I can't justify owning it anymore. Message me with any questions.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
Ford and Lincoln recall roundup: Explorer, F-350 Super Duty, Aviator
Fri, Jul 16 2021Ford and Lincoln released information on a flurry of recalls this morning. There are three in total, and they span different models and separate issues. Those models include the 2013-17 Ford Explorer, 2020-21 Lincoln Aviator and 2020-21 Ford F-350 Super Duty. We’ll organize these three in order of most cars recalled. 2013-17 Ford Explorer This recall includes a substantial 774,696 vehicles, of which 676,152 are in North America. Why? Ford says these vehicles “may experience a seized cross-axis ball joint that may cause a fractured rear suspension toe link.” The diminished steering control that would follow could increase the likelihood of a crash, Ford states. Only vehicles that spent time in high corrosion states should be affected, Ford says. That means places that lay salt down, experience cold weather and high humidity. Owners of these vehicles will need to take their car into the dealership, where it will be inspected to determine if it needs work. If so, Ford will replace the cross-axis ball joint/knuckle, then replace the toe links with a newly-designed part. Notifications to owners of these vehicles are scheduled to be sent out the week of August 23. WeÂ’ll note that Ford is reporting six “allegations of injury” related to this issue. For those who donÂ’t live in the high-corrosion states/their car was never registered in those states, Ford is offering a customer satisfaction program in case you were interested in having the work done anyway. 2020-21 Lincoln Aviator Lincoln is pulling back 40,995 new Aviators due to an improperly secured battery cable wire harness. This recall applies to gasoline-only versions of the Aviator, so Grand Touring PHEV buyers neednÂ’t worry. The wire harness may contact the AC compressor pulley due to it being secured improperly. Ford says that over time, the pulley could rub through the wire harnessÂ’ insulation, resulting in a short circuit and ultimately a fire. However, Ford is not currently aware of any injuries or fires related to this concern as of now. When you bring your car in, the dealer will inspect all the parts to determine what needs to be done. Fixes range from a basic tie strap to keep the harness away from the pulley (if it hasnÂ’t made contact yet), to replacement of the wire harness and AC belt if the contact has caused damage. Owners should expect to be notified the week of July 30 if their Aviator is involved in the recall.
Ford rolls out Vignale Mondeo for upscale European buyers
Tue, Apr 21 2015North American buyers looking for a luxury automobile from Dearborn know to turn to Lincoln, but overseas, the Ford brand itself appeals to upscale customers with its own products. The Blue Oval automaker unveiled a premium take on the Taurus for the Chinese market at the Shanghai Motor Show this weekend, and in Europe it's rolling out the Vignale sub-brand with the model you see here. Previewed in concept form a year and a half ago at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Vignale line revives the name of a storied Italian coachbuilder that Ford acquired (together with Ghia) back in 1973. Now ready for production, the first Vignale model upgrades on the Mondeo (which we know as the Fusion) with a number of high-end features. The cabin space is altogether more luxurious, featuring high-end, laser-cut leather trim with hexagonal quilting and "tuxedo" stitching. The multi-contour front seats have a massage function, and occupants are better isolated from the road via upgraded sound insulation and active noise cancellation. The Ford Vignale Mondeo benefits from all the latest safety-convenience and infotainment technologies, including an optional Sony digital audio system with twelve speakers. The exterior is made to look more upscale as well, with unique metallic paint finishes, special chrome trim, 18-inch alloys and the requisite special badging to set it apart from ordinary Mondeos. Buyers will be able to choose between sedan or wagon body styles, front- or all-wheel drive and from a number of engine options. There's a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four with 237 horsepower, a 2.0-liter turbodiesel available with 177 or 207 hp, and a gasoline-electric hybrid system with 184 hp. Each vehicle is hand-finished and individually inspected at the Vignale Centre at Ford's plant in Valencia, Spain, and will be offered through select dealerships outfitted with premium Vignale Lounges. Customers will also benefit from access to a dedicated "relationship manager," customer assistance operators on call 24 hours a day and a companion app, but of course none of these features come cheap: At around GBP30k in the UK, the price of a Vignale Mondeo comes close to that of an Audi A6 or Jaguar XF, and it'll be up to individual buyers to decide whether the spruced-up Fusion is worth the premium. Look for a Vignale version of the S-Max to follow.
