You know you want to have a piece of history with the purchase of this 1966 ford van. I purchased this van some 6 years ago and it was in really bad shape so i spent some time and a bunch of money putting it back on the road again. I've replaced windshield,installed floor shifter on floor because shifter on column kept hanging up. found a 8-track player on e-bay and it works great! also comes with a bunch of 8tracks i've found over the years.Van came with no seats so i found these from a earlier model and just stuck them in. I also installed a bench seat in the back that turns into a bed with the push of a button(YEAH BABY!) Never used it cause im married and got kids but knock yourself out! there was no interior when i got it just rusted metal inside so many labor hours of grinding and wire wheeling i treated and coated the walls and floor with herculiner bed liner and inslulated and covered walls with carpet covered wood panels to keep out a some heat in the summer time. put same liner on roof. also lined engine compartment with high tech inslulation as seen in pictures of motor. Installed auxilary cooling fan on radiator for sitting in traffic. Has front/rear drum brakes all have been re-worked and rebuilt master clyinder. All switches, gauges.lights work and i also installed up dated fuse panel.When i finally got van on the roar it only went to 55 miles per hour.(THAT SUCKED) so i spent alot more money to getting rear end replaced with one that get's up to speed now. Bumpers were made by a welder buddy of mine out of stainless steel pipe. and he also made the aluminum gas tank for it also because the original tank had a hole the size of my fist. put lots of new engine parts on and i have all reciepts on the parts and work that was done. Still have lots of stuff done to van but not enough space to list. I didn't want a show van i just wanted something cool to drive around in. i drive it sometimes on weekends and all tags are current. It gets about 100 looks a mile and lots of people come up and say...HEY DUDE I USED TO HAVE ONE OF THESE! Its time to pass it on to the next Dude because my wife wont let my kids in it because of no air bags and i hate driving alone. I cant ship van so your gonna have to pick it up from my location. But worth the trip.

Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit
Tue, 30 Jul 2013If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.
Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction
Wed, 19 Mar 2014We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.
