  hi and thnx ~!~ I know diesels are supposed to run forever, but at 242k, this Van runs and drives much better than you would expect. it was company owned and properly serviced, as normal fleet style, to reduce risk and add life and reliability; add to that Ford's tough as nails approach with the V8 diesel and the iron build of the great E350 line.

  motor starts with a gentle flick of the key and idles correctly. no gauge or dash lights are on. tranny snicks into drive and the van just pulls right along. the ride is firm but exactly to be expected. steers straight, rides well and is reasonably comfy. I have had these power-strokes before in the truck line, and it is just very nice to see, like this one here, a van that does not clatter like mad and no smoke at startup ~!~ (or at all... )

 

  the rear bins are pro grade and can handle all your organizing needs. the floor has been covered with protective mats, and although dusty, they did a good job. all dash and features seem to work fine. front drivers seat has some wear tears, the rest you can see... please see all photos carefully. there are signs of previous repairs along the van's bottom edge, please see the black paint line along the body; it is hiding some repaired rust and corrosion and starting to age. also, please note how clean, dry and solid are the frame, floors, lines and all undercarriage. overall very clean front to rear.

 

  the E350 is at my mechanic's shop now and I just authorized $900 in repairs. I do not want a buyer to have problems or driving home issues, so... he found that the power steering pump had a front seal leak, so that gets replaced. he recommended some new brake lines, OK. the alternator was putting out about 9 volts, so he will install a new one. I will have repairs done and receipts to back it up. I have no problem fixing things if it makes sense, I just was hoping to get off a little easier. 

 

  feel please feel free to bid and buy, truck runs and looks great from most any angle. please see all photos, I took every good and bad shot I could. feel free to email or call, or just come by and take a drive. vehicle is as shown and at my home.  j. bettes, 805 Clinton ave, Bridgeport, CT 06604 >>

Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.

Bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta hams it up for International Bacon Day

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

This is a bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta. It is a real thing, that a real, multi-billion-dollar company designed. And it isn't even April Fools' Day. Designed for International Bacon Day, which is also apparently a thing, the 2014 Fiesta is finished in Green Envy paint - we're told black paint, like the color of a skillet, made the car look camouflaged - and features 10 gigantic decals depicting strips of tender, cured bacon.
The design, which was approved by the CEO of Benton's Country Hams, Allan Benton, show off the depth of Ford's Custom Graphics program. Unbelievably, Ford will actually start offering bacon decals to everyday customers, including (and we can't believe we're writing this) dual bacon racing stripes which will no doubt have Carroll Shelby spinning and/or salivating in his grave, and a "side of bacon," which wraps a couple of strips over the rear wheels.
Benton, who Ford claims is the King of Bacon, had this to say: "This car just makes so much sense." The Fiesta's marketing manager, Liz Elser added, "It's just awesome to drive down the road in a piece of bacon."

Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival

Mon, 19 May 2014

There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
