1986 Ford Econoline Ambulance 4x4 Quigley Van on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:130427
Location:

Up for sale is this awesome 1986 Ford Econoline E-350 4x4 Ambulance. This beast is powered by the 460 big block V8 backed by C6 automatic transmission. This van has outfitted with the highly desirable Quigley 4-wheel drive conversion.  Frame, undercarriage, and drive line are in good condition.  Econoline cab has cab corner, rocker panel, and some fender rust.  Anyone with decent skills can repair without too much effort.  Aluminum ambulance body is in good condition.  All emergency ambulance lighting has been removed, but fortunately outdoor "flood" lighting is operable.  This van will make an awesome service truck or the ideal "bugout" vehicle.  The 4-wheel drive works as it should.  The 4-wheel drive suspension includes the factory Dana 60 rear and the added HD Dana 44 front axle.   The van has decent Goodyear tires.  Unfortunately the van currently has a PA Salvage Title due to previous owner trying to save a buck.  Van shows no signs of accident damage, but will require a full in-depth PA inspection prior to Reconstructed Title.  Vehicle is sold as is, with no warranty. Vehicle is for sale locally so I do reserve the right to end the auction if sold. Feel free to contact me at 8one4-7seven7-zero122 if interested.

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.

Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.

Ford Australia launches Falcon GT F 351, last of its line [w/video]

Sun, 15 Jun 2014

It's always best to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and Ford Performance Vehicles is doing just that in Australia with the Falcon GT F 351. It's the most powerful road car the Aussie performance brand has ever made with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 pumping out 471 horsepower (351 kilowatts) and 420 pound-feet of torque. It's joined by the FPV Pursuit Ute with the same powerplant tuned to 422 hp and 402 lb-ft. Sadly, the last F in this Falcon's name stands for Final.
The GT F 351 is a monumental way to go out, though. It harkens back to the old days of Aussie muscle Fords, and the 351kw output is meant to reference the classic Falcon GT and its 351-cubic-inch V8. In addition to the massive power, the F has the improved suspension from the R-Spec model and Brembo brake calipers.
FPV is building just 500 GT F sedans for Australia and 50 more for New Zealand, plus 120 Pursuit Utes. They feature a blacked-out hood and black stripes over the hood and sides, plus gloss black accents around the headlights, door handles and mirrors.
