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 recalling 433k cars for engines that don't shut off
Thu, Jul 2 2015Ford Motor Company has announced an enormous recall affecting 433,000 vehicles built between April 2014 and June 2015. There's a problem with the body control module in the affected vehicles that can prevent them from turning off, even if the key is removed from the ignition or stop/start button has been pressed. Individual models include the Focus and C-Max, both built at the Michigan Assembly Plant. The defective Foci were built between June 17, 2014 and June 12, 2015, while the C-Maxes were built between April 22, 2014 and June 12, 2015. Also affected are model year 2015 Escape CUVs, built at the Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky, between April 1, 2014 and June 12, 2015. As is usually the case, the overwhelming majority of vehicles – 374,381 – are registered in the United States, while the 52,180 are in Canada and 5,135 are in Mexico. The Blue Oval is not aware of any injuries or accidents due to this defect. Individual consumers, meanwhile, will need to report into dealers to have the body control module's software updated. Scroll down for the brief press release from Ford. Related Video: FORD ISSUES SAFETY COMPLIANCE RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., July 2, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety compliance recall for approximately 433,000 vehicles in North America, including certain 2015 Focus, C-MAX and Escape vehicles, for an issue with the body control module. In these vehicles, it could be possible for the engine to continue to run after turning the ignition key to the "off" position and removing the key, or after pressing the Engine Start/Stop button. This is a compliance issue with FMVSS 114 regarding theft protection and rollaway prevention. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this issue. Affected vehicles include certain 2015 Focus vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant from June 17, 2014, through June 12, 2015; certain 2015 C-MAX vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant from April 22, 2014, through June 12, 2015; and certain 2015 Escape vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant from April 1, 2014, through June 12, 2015. There are 432,096 vehicles in North America, including 374,781 in the United States and federalized territories, 52,180 in Canada and 5,135 in Mexico. Dealers will update the body control module software at no cost to the customer.
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 acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
