1996 E150 Ford Econoline High Top Conversion Van

351 Motor

Got this van in 2006 here on eBay with just shy 150,000 miles on it. Totally got ripped off :( and will be as transparent as possible about it's condition, so there are no surprises like we got. It has been very well maintained since we purchased it and now has 231,000 miles.

The Bad:

Mostly aesthetic. It's not so pretty and has its flaws. Ex: the only lock that works to open it is in the very back (power locks work sporadically). The passenger side window doesn't work, but I have a motor for it, the back air/heat is disabled, but the front works. The body is in decent shape, but it has a couple small dents, the striping is chipped and the clear coat is cooking off the roof in spots (Texas title van). Area around the wheel wells have been frequently touched up with spray paint to keep surface rust from getting out of control (NY salty winters). It may either need a heater core or lines. The carpeting is stained and could use a good cleaning. The bucket seats in front are in pretty rough shape too and the rear seat recently got a split in it that has some duct tape on. There is a lifter that has been tapping since we got it, but doesn't affect the functioning.

What has been done since we've owned it:

The oil has been changed every 3000 miles

Heads rebuilt at 150,000

Transmission rebuilt at 154,000

Suspension/shocks/springs completely re-done

Fuel Pump

Tie Rods

Water Pump

Brakes

Thermostat Battery

U-joints

Starter

Radiator

Alternater

Belt

Wires, Plugs & Distributor Cap (could use a new distributor cap)

There are probably a couple other things that have been replaced as well, but I can't think of them at the moment.

It has a tow package,

There is an additional bench seat (removed to make room for cargo). It is in good condition. The passenger seat is wheel chair accessible; rotates and goes up or down. The rear seat supposedly folds out into a bed. Never had any need to try it. It is what it is…a good work van. Not a luxury van anymore, though the track lighting is nice.

TV (not sure if it still works or not). Haven't bothered with it since we bought it.

Good Rubber

On the road, ready to go.

If you're interested and want more photos, send your email address and I'll get some out to you. There are also some additional photos on Ithaca, NY's Craigslist. Enter 1996 Ford Econoline Van, and it should pull up. Please ask all questions before bidding.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
