This auction is for an awesome, STREET LEGAL ambulance. You can use this for a variety of things, work, perhaps camping even! Ford, 1986, E-Series (350) XL Supervan, V8 7.5L engine! Hate to see this go, but I simply don't use it enough to justify paying the insurance on it every year. Love this thing! Front-wheel drive, automatic. Cruise control capabilities via special buttons on the steering wheel. When I purchased it, it had been recently refurbished (2010) by the workshop that originally was contracted as the mechanic for the EMS company where it originated in Elkton, VA. At the time, the engine had only 100 HOURS on it, and I only put an additional 500 and some, for a total hour usage on the engine of only 628.15 hours! So I didn't use it very much, took it on some band trips to upper state New York and a few other places, used it to move some things within town, and that was about it, other than as an emergency vehicle if the wife needed to use the car out of state. Mileage is as listed in this auction, I only put about 3000 on it from when I purchased it, so it still has decent mileage for its age. The transmission was replaced before I bought it, and I recently had brand new tires placed on it for inspection (Novmember 2012) and a new muffler only a month ago. The chasis was built on the E-Series vans, but it has A LOT more space and has been slightly modified, with some cool perks that come along with it.
This has been stripped of all components that would make it illegal to drive (such as the lights and light console that would attach to the front next to the two main seats). I actually still have this console and the lights, if you'd want them for some reason, but they CANNOT be used on this vehicle to have it driven as a street vehicle. Since this was not originally for the public, it gets roughly 13.5 miles to the gallon, pretty impressive considering that it's original, base weight was over 7000 pounds with all the original equipment inside. Two gas tanks! Together, you can fill it to about 35 gallons, the numbers are a little strange. The front tank seems to be around 11.5 gallons and the back around 23. Either way, this is important. The gas meter for the rear tank doesn't work, a common problem with some Ford vehicles from this period. However, the front does, up to halfway, though sometimes it strangely will show more sometimes, not sure why. This is good, because you don't need to have them replaced unless you really need to (you're looking at around $700 parts and labor to replace the tanks). The ONLY thing wrong with them are the meters. But, due to the fact that you have two tanks, you can do what I always did, keep them both filled, run the rear tank, when it literally runs out of gas, simply flip the switch under the steering wheel to go to the front tank (without having to turn off the vehicle at all), and continue driving, filling up the rear next time you can, topping off the front, and switching back to the rear. So, in spite of the fact that you don't know exactly how much gas you have left in the rear, it doesn't matter, because you have a back-up tank to use. Remember, this thing was to save lives back in the day. Due to this, it gets decent gas mileage, as I already mentioned, and it can accelerate FAST. Especially comfortable on long trips on the highway, with an easy-to-use and fluid cruise control system on the steering wheel. Two main doors, driver and passenger, as well as a third seat facing the opposite direction. It also had a special seat for workers originally that had a heater and air conditioning unit under it. I removed this, and then spliced off the coolant line (you can see it sticking up in the picture of the back towards the rear doors). The only reason I did this is because I only had non-heat resistant tubing, and I wanted to make it easy to access in case I needed to. You can easily remove the clamps, put the tubing under the chassis, and cover the holes. It works just fine as it is, though. This created TONS of space in the back, in addition to the higher head room, cool bars for support, and lots of storage that was built into it. You have a large side door that opens in two parts, and a rear door as well that does the same thing.
This vehicle is in WORKING CONDITION, but it could use a little cleaning, maybe a cool paint job. I've used it now for two years, with NO problems. However, please note, this is still an AS-IS sale. I'm not good enough with cars to tell you how it will work or what could go wrong a year, even a month from now. However, I've had no problems with it, and it's passed inspection the two years I've had it so far. As mentioned above, brand new tires (that's around $1000 alone, not cheap), and a new muffler I put on a month ago (about $315 in parts and labor there). The only thing to note, mentioned to me by my mechanic here last inspection, is that he thinks there is a small hole in the manifold somewhere, but thankfully not the intake. He told me it could be anywhere along the pipe towards the engine, and I BELIEVE I found it when I replaced the muffler, as I found a hole in the part of the original pipe I cut to replace the old muffler. So, I think that problem is fixed, but keep in mind there may be a hole farther up that might need fixed depending on where you live. Runs great, but is a little quirky to start up, because you have to activate both tanks. Two quick pumps of the pedal, turn the key, let it rev a little, let go, and let it start. If it doesn't, and it probably won't if you let it sit more than a week, stomp the pedal all the way to the floor, hold it for a second. Release, and then turn the key again, for the same result usually. After that, DO NOT pump the pedal anymore, simply turn the key, release, and continue until it catches. Once it gets going, it will usually shut off, and then start up with the next key turn. If you're using it at least every other day, you shouldn't have much problem starting it. I'm not sure why it does this, but it ALWAYS has started up for me eventually, no problems, it's just a little quirky and requires some patience until you get used to it, if you don't mind being a little embarrassed sometimes! One other thing to note is that, at least with my insurance company, due to its weight it had to be listed as COMMERCIAL, a nice tax write-off if you're going to use it for a small business, and not terribly expensive. For only liability coverage, I was paying $365 for the entire year. The heating works well, not sure about the air because I never actually needed it when I drove it, so that might need checked. The fan does run when you switch it to air, but it definitely is going to need coolant if it's working in that regard. Other than that, and issues mentioned above, I love this thing, and I hate to see it go, but I can't justify owning it anymore. Message me with any questions.

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most 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.
