Ford E350 4x4 Van Sportsmobile on 2040-cars
Mill Valley, California, United States
|
2006 Ford E350 4X4 Van, with a 6.0 liter diesel. I purchased this van just after it was professionally converted to a 4X4. It's a coil over conversion, similar to what Salem Kroger used to do. It's got a Dana 60 front end from a 2008 F350. Procomp suspension with about 6" of lift.
Since purchase, I've invested over $15K in making the van expedition-ready. This includes the camper interior, as well as mechanical upgrades, all of which I have receipts for. Upgrades completed within the last year and a half:
The interior was built for sleeping comfort and gear storage, I left out the stove and sink to have a more open floorplan and for more room for toys. I had an outside kitchen set up that worked for my needs, but the stove/sink cabinet area could be easily added. *this is the dream van, but I now need a daily driver for work, so I'm going back to a Tacoma with pop up camper on the back. *available for local pick up, or could arrange shipping for an additional price. For those curious about the odometer discrepancy, I had this investigated when I bought the van, and there were no signs of rollback, all of the numbers matched. I bought it from Javier, who builds and sells 4X4 vans, and has established a good reputation. He assured me that nothing was tampered with, and my third party inspector backed him up, and also added that the software to rollback a digital odometer costs thousands of dollars and requires extensive knowledge. In short, I don't know where the discrepancy comes from, but the majority of the van build only has about 12K miles on it, and I've invested a lot into making the engine bulletproof and problem-free. All the work is recent, well documented, and done at the best diesel performance shop in northern california. Thanks for looking. |

Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]
Sat, 09 Mar 2013Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
Court puts kibosh on apartheid lawsuit against Ford, Daimler
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Ford and Daimler have scored a major victory in a long-running lawsuit filed in US federal court by unnamed South African nationals. The suit alleges that both manufacturers and their subsidiaries sold their vehicles to the South African military, despite knowing that they'd be involved in violently putting down anti-apartheid protesters.
According to Reuters, South African plaintiffs filed the case under the 223-year-old Alien Torts Statute, a law which allows foreign nationals to file charges in US courts for perceived breaches of what was originally international law, but now more closely relates to violations of human rights.
And while the case - which also involves computer manufacturer IBM - has been tied up in federal courts for years, a recent case from the Supreme Court struck down a similar suit against Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), arguing that the ATS doesn't apply to corporations or to conduct if it occurred outside the US. In short, the law applies to individuals, but not corporations like Ford or Daimler. A US appeals court ruled that the conditions apply in this case, potentially drawing this long-running saga to a close, as the defendants will now be allowed to request that the case be dismissed in district court.
Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013
Fri, 26 Jul 2013General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
