This auction is for a 1987 Ford E350 Party Bus.  

PLEASE NOTE: THE PREVIOUS OWNER TO THIS VEHICLE WAS A CHURCH. THE NAME OF IT WAS PETERSBURG CHURCH OF CHRIST IN PETERSBURG ILLINOIS. 

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BILL OF SALE SO YOU CAN VERIFY IT CAME FROM THE CHURCH.


We purchased this vehicle in 2011 as a wheel chair transport. We have a limousine, party bus and taxi company that services the Central Illinois Area. We purchased this vehicle so we would have something that could transport wheelchair people who cant get in our other vehicles. Our main state contract mandates that we have at least one wheel chair accessible vehicle to service those customers who are not mobile. It worked well for this type of service. 

In December of 2012 we ended up finding a 15 passenger van that has a lift. It burns ALOT less fuel and can be used with little to no experience. Because this bus is so large some of our older drivers have a hard time driving it especially at night. Everything works and it passed our state mandated mechanical inspection in November 2012. Below are the items we have replaced or repaired.

1987 Ford Party Bus E350 
Mileage: Under 100K
Engine Type: V8
Passengers: 15-20
Fuel Type: Regular 87 Gas (NON DESIEL)
Exterior Color: White
Interior Color: Black/White
Lighting: Soft White
Tires: 75% or more

Recent Repairs:

- Newer Tires in 2011
- Rear Muffler Repair
- Transmission Flush
- Top Engine Flush
- Newer Batteries for COLD START
- Block Warmer )For cold starts.)
- The standard seats were stained in black. 
- Temp Gauge (Mechanical)
- Repair Wheel Chair Lift (Works & has been used by us in the last 12 months)
- Newer Paint Job (This was done with a high volume sprayer so its not perfect. The windows are all clean but expect to have to do some touch up each year because of the fiberglass shell.)

PLEASE READ THE BELOW INFO:

WE REMOVED THE SEATS BECAUSE WE SEALED THE FLOOR WITH AN EXPOXY SOLUTION. THIS MAKES THE FLOOR COMPLETELY BLACK AND IT LOOKS AWSOME! WE HAVE NOT PUT THE SEATS BACK IN AS THEY WERE ORIGINALLY. WE WERE PLANNING ON CREATING A WRAP AROUND PARTY BUS SEATING STYLE. IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO BUILD A NICE BENCH THAT WRAPPED AROUDN THE BUS YOU COULD FIT 20-25 PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE. WE USED IT PRIMARILY FOR A WHEELCHAIR VEHICLE/BACKUP TO OUR MAIN FLEET. 

This vehicle would make a good party bus, extra bus, backup vehicle or cargo transport vehicle. We used it alot from moving parts from the stores to the garage. Just putting 200-300 bucks into the seating would make a really nice bus. Its truly in good shape and just needs some TLC. The motor is low milage and the other options all work perfectly.(With the exception of the a/c compressor which will need to be replaced.) AutoZone has one for $89 bucks or you could buy one direct from Ford for $289. We like the auto-zone parts because of the lifetime warranty.

PLEASE NOTE: THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE IS FIBERGLASS AND ALUMINUM SO IT WILL NEVER RUST!!!!!

This would make a nice bus for a new limo company as well.

If you have any questions please feel free to send us a message or email us: ceo@peoriafivestartaxi.com.

Thanks!!!!!

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.

Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.

Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.
