I just got this in to Sell for a Friend.I must say when I first saw it I was blown away how nice it is so I do my usual and take it for a couple days and put some miles on it to give a real description of it.So after talking to owner he has owned it for 3 years and bought it from the Estate of a good friend who passed away and was the original Owner sense New and he is the one who spent $ 10000.00 about 10 years ago re-storing the Body which in the pictures you can see what a Job they did to get it to look this good and original looking because he loved this Van and wanted to preserve it. he was a plumber that is why all the original wood cabinets are still there on the inside.So after the drive and putting it up on a lift and taking pictures so you can see what I see and answer most of your questions on how it looks.It starts right up when you pull the choke out and pump gas peddle twice No smoke came out the tail pipe it takes a while to warm up almost think a rebuild on the carb would help it out and yes I could have pulled off fresh air snorkel to carb but left to show it's original and falling apart. So once on my way and getting use to the 3 Seed Manuel Colum shift runs great has plenty of Power with the 302 V8 . Drives real good of course no power steering or brakes it's a Real Work Van ! All the gauges and lights work all windows work no cracks Has the Original Owner Manuel !.It's kind of Cool how the door's swing all the way forward when you let them go to the door stop. As you can see with the pictures under the van how much rust was cut out and all New metal was put in and the frame rails being fixed with Real Box Steel to fix the Frame the Right Way ! I try'ed to find a comparable for him to give him a idea what it's worth but there are NO comparable's anywhere to be found because being a Work Van when they were Used up then Junked !!! So this is Super Rare being a 1 ton 1969 and still looking this good it's up to your Bidding what's it worth ...being sold as is no warranty expressed or implied in Connecticut dose *NOT give titles on 25 years or older there is a *Bill of Sale and the *Registration on the bottom of it is a tear off is sign'ed over to New Owner. also for sale locally also feel free to come out and see it and drive it I am 20 min outside Hartford CT 06084 Good Luck Bidding....

BMW to follow Honda back into F1?
Mon, 14 Apr 2014The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.
Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
