1973 Ford Econoline E-100 Supervan Custom Vanner 70's Bike Hauler Van on 2040-cars
Sparta, Illinois, United States
1973 Ford Econoline E-100 Van Supervan Resto/Custom about 3 years ago. Completely stripped, primed, and repainted. Nice two-tone metallic silver/grey paintwork with custom flames outlined in metallic orange. Bodywork on interior pocket bottoms of doors done in fiber glass. Patch panels (original from the 70's, so you know they were quality, thick panels) on Driver and Passenger door. Replaced Sliding door with a spare that had no windows to truly give it that cargo look. Barn doors in the back. Complete interior floor was sprayed with bedliner. Walls were insulated, (styrofoam type) and covered with masonite throughout. Made a half wall of the same on the driver side just in front of the rear wheel well; which houses the speakers. All walls and ceiling were painted black, with the intent to cover with Diamond tuck vinyl at a later date. Never got to it. This means theres still room for customization on your part. NOS Ford Truck Bench seat from the early 80's was placed along the driver side wall. Blue in color. No other seating in the rear. Leather bucket seats up front from a toyota Scion. They look great and are very comfortable. NEW crate 302 motor built to stock specs, attahced to a rebuilt AOD 4 speed transmission. This combination works and performs great. Can cruise at 70 mph all day long. NEW aluminum radiator keeps her cool. Offset tires to give it a little bit of a hotrod feel. Manual Air shocks in the rear to assist withthe ride while hauling bikes etc. Pictures truly reflect condition. The pic with the bubbles, I believe these to be bubbles in the paint and not rust. I tried collapsing them and couldnt. Feel free to contact me with questions: (618) 303-6007 For sale locally as well so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. Buyer responsible for shipping arrangements. I will help in loading where possible. Good Luck. Check out my other auctions for other interesting items.

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
Ford Fiesta rally car warms up in Sweden
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Rallycross is seeing a sudden surge in popularity with two series bringing the racing to the US and Europe. The Ford OMSE team is competing in both championships this season, and it saw no reason not to hold practice with a highly modified Fiesta in the snow of Northern Sweden. It brought together Andreas Bakkerud from the European-focused FIA World Rallycross Championship and Patrik Sandell from the North American-focused Global Rallycross series for some training and fun. They certainly appear to be enjoying themselves, too, with some lovely pirouettes in the powder.
If you're unfamiliar with rallycross, the discipline combines the best of rallying and circuit racing. Drivers (with no co-drivers) race rally cars over a circuit that generally mixes dirt and asphalt, and unlike traditional rallying, multiple cars compete side-by-side at once. Even better, it's often a very two-fisted form of motorsports with lots of car-to-car contact. Global Rallycross and World Rallycross will both kick off their seasons in May. With spring on the way, scroll down to watch the Fiesta kick up some of the last snow drifts of the year.
