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.

Recent Repairs:

- Transmission Flush

- Top Engine Flush

- Newer Batteries for COLD START

- 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!!!!!

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like

Sat, 12 Oct 2013

Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.

Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
