San Diego, California, United States

Selling my very loved and trusted 1997 e350 powerstroke diesel van with the legendary 7.3 motor.   This van is setup for work and travel. The front cabin has a fold down seat that converts into a very comfy bed and the back is blocked off and has a metal shelf on one side.   I have travelled with my tools in here to remote jobsites and still have plenty of room for sleeping cooking etc.  also includes trac-rac lumber racks. A Yakima box and Yakima swing away hitch bike carrier. 

The motor in this truck is very strong quiet and efficient.  I track all of my mileage and my highway average is 20 MPG.   The transmission is smooth and strong only light and infrequent towing with this truck though I do have an electric brake controller hooked up.   Hoses and such have been changed for biodiesel compatibility. It has run amsoil synthetics in both the motor and the tranny for over 250000 miles with dual remote filters. Excellent maintenance and service history. This truck drives and stops straight. 

The body is in good shape with a few dings and scratches but it is in good presentable shape.  It has lived a majority of if its life in the mountains of n. Cal so very very little rust. 
The interior is clean and quiet. Seats have always been covered and are in good condition. The cabin area has additional insulation in the wall. Equipped with power door locks, windows and cruise control. There is a JVC cd/mp3/ USB head unit. Also includes an infinity 10" subwoofer and amplifier.   

This truck has excellent maintenance and service records/history. My mechanic says that this is the smoothest running and cleanest 7.3 he has seen. No smoke at cold starts or under throttle. 
A decent amount of work within the past few years means she is ready for another 150000. New fuel pump. Filters. Alternator, fresh batteries, Thermostat water pump and radiator. Recent front end work and brakes. Tires are at 25 percent. It has the super nice billstein shocks installed last year. Aftermarket wheels. New glowplugs last year when she was getting maintenance. 
Only selling due to an extended travel to Costa rica for a new project. This truck drives and runs excellent and I do not want to sell her.... but. 
This truck is ready to work and / or travel. 

I can provide additional photos or video to give you a accurate view of this truck. 


This van is being sold as is, with NO warranty expressed or implied.

I am selling from the west coast in california.  Shipping if required is sole responsibility of the Buyer.  I will assist in help with coordinating shipping, meeting you in my local area or picking you up at a local airport and you can drive it home. 

This truck is for sale privately and the auction may be ended early. 

Payment will be a deposit of $750 dollars to Paypal within 24 hours of the close of the auction. The remaining balance will be accepted in cash or certified check at the time of vehicle pickup if in person, or cleared payment before shipping.

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well.
