***Inspections are more than welcome by you or the most skeptical mechanic, on anything im selling. Call anytime 303-961-3506. This rig will exceed anyone's expectations for the money. The AC/Heat in rear is more than enough for the 6'6"tall X 7'6"wide X 11'6" long living quarters & is a commercial grade Duo-Therm unit powered by compressor on engine. The MPG on recent 600 mile trip to Steamboat was 12-15MPG in the mountain roads & passes, So on the freeway id safely assume 15 all day. 303-961-3506 Anytime.*** 1989 one ton E350 4X4 Expedition Van, dealer converted to 4X4 when ordered new.

Ive had multiple offers for less than 15K so dont ask if ill take a crazy cash offer, You and i both know what we have here & im not desperate. I have owned Defender, Unimog, Sportsmobile, Land Cruiser, & Jeeps...This thing is very capable off road & not wierd sounds, loose bolts, wiggles, Etc. Travels great at 75MPH all day. Ive sadly seen Sportsmobiles go for 70K & this thing will out do it NO problem for less than 1/4 the price. DANA60,WARN HUBS, WARN 8500 WINCH. We purchased this van from a local utility company in 2008 with 12,000 miles on it. The van was used as a splice laboratory in bad weather only. We replaced only the tires and used it as a mobile lab to work on small drill rigs in the Colorado mountains. The majority of the time being parked and running off a potable generator. We used it on several jobs and it has been parked ever since. Started and moved once a month to rotate tires and keep fluids moving. Runs excellent and tires are still perfect. It has 17,000 miles on it and looks like it. Not a bit of rust or body damage. Interior is excellent, and In beautiful condition for a 1989. I would not hesitate to drive cross country as is. Has a rooftop air conditioner with engine mounted compressor, which works great. It has a new flashing strobe on the roof & outside floods work too, Everything works on this van! Has on-board air compressor with side valves. We started to do a camper conversion on it this year & spent a considerable amount of time & money doing so. Only thing left is your layout for the camper and your done. It would make a great camper conversion over the winter, but can also easily go back to being a poor weather drill rig & splicing lab. FYI: This rig DID sell last month for $17,500 to a guy in Alaska for those whom are asking. He gave a $500.00 deposit & had issues with his bank at the last minute. He knowingly forfeited his deposit...So please make sure you have the funds before you commit to buy this one of a kind Overland vehicle. |

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If 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.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
