One of a kind. Only 13875 miles on this van. All original equipment, no aftermarket add ons. Top of the line XLT was a $32,000 van in 1993 when sold new. All original paint, no touchup work. No accidents, never smoked in. Paint shines nearly good as day it left the factory with very few small surface scratches. Black paint from Ford was not clearcoated in 1993, so it takes some elbow grease to maintain shine. Silver is clearcoat. Paint is awesome looking when clean. No rust or corrosion, always been in Colorado. New windshield with 1 mile on it. Interior is beautiful with very few imperfections, a couple small stains here and there, but there is a 12"x2" place under the 3rd seat where something spilled and looks discolored. Otherwise interior is fantastic. I bought this van 11/93 with 4000 miles on it. It was used as a van to move staff and actors for the Perry Mason series filmed here in Denver. Any reflections in the pictures are just that, there are no scrapes or road dents on this van, not even one door ding.

Runs perfect, no leaks of any kind. Air conditioning works great. Has front and rear air and heat, rear audio controls, all top of the line in 1993. Tires have 11/32" of tread remaining, but are 10yrs old with 6000 miles on them. Look good with no cracks. Now for any bad news, which I'll disclose, some hail damage, mostly on the roof and silver part of driver door and trim around the doors. The trim is rubber like and shows the dents, you really have to look at the right angle to see any small dents in the door, hardly worth mentioning, but they are there. The roof paint still shines like new, so looking at just the right angle there are small hail dents, and also a few small dents near the 3rd brake lamp on the roof that were there when I got the van. No hail damage to hood. The passenger mirror is cracked and electrically does not move in/out. Up and down work fine and glass can be set by hand. Intermittent wipers switch seems defective as some positions work, some do not and also paint is all missing from the wiper arms. Other than these small items, this is for all intents and purposes a new van, so don't let the age worry you. You will be more than happy driving this van. 7.5L 460 engine gets 14-15mpg highway if driven sensibly, and has power to spare. A very strong runner. Please ask any questions here or call me at 303-526-6765 or anyone wants to see and drive it in the area is fine, although it is not insured any longer. Please only real bidders, and don't tell me bluebook value, as I doubt bluebook price is for a 13875 miles van. $500 due soon as possible after auction end by Paypal and remainder due at pickup of the van by certified funds. Must be picked up here in Denver. Thanks.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.

Ken Block hoons his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax on the slopes

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Ken Block drives Fords. Hoons the heck out of 'em, actually. Mostly Fiestas, but also the occasional Focus or Mustang. But earlier this year, the Gymkhana guru revealed his baddest Ford yet: an F-150 SVT Raptor on tracks. And true to form, here he is putting it to the test in the latest video from Monster Energy and Hoonigan Racing.
Filmed at Baldface Lodge in Nelson, BC, the video pairs Block up with snowboarders Zak Hale and Ethan Deiss for some deep-powder action. You'll want to watch the video for yourself, but the bottom line is that the RaptorTrax beats the heck out of waiting on line for the ski lift. It's enough to make us start to look forward to winter... almost.

New autonomous testing ground in Michigan will help battle bad weather

Thu, Dec 14 2017

If one of the big weaknesses of autonomous vehicles is their ability to navigate in the snow, consider this a trial by fire. The American Center for Mobility says it has opened its $110 million driverless car testing facility on the site of a former General Motors assembly plant in Michigan, with Toyota and auto supplier Visteon the first to begin testing this week. The ACM proving ground is a 500-acre site at historic Willow Run in Ypsilanti Township, near Ann Arbor. It's one of 10 sites designated by the U.S. Department of Transportation as pilot proving ground sites to test AV technologies. It features a variety of simulated environments to test driverless cars, including a 2.5-mile highway loop, two double overpasses, intersections, roundabouts and a 700-foot curved tunnel. It also opens just as the region experiences a series of snowstorms and the first frigid temperatures of the season. That ability to test autonomous vehicles in a wide variety of weather conditions is important, as autonomous vehicle sensors have struggled to handle cold, wet and snowy conditions. Google parent Alphabet in October said its Waymo division was expanding its winter testing operations to Michigan, making it the sixth state where it's testing its driverless car systems. In a Medium blog post, Waymo CEO John Krafcik wrote that "This type of testing will give us the opportunity to assess the way our sensors perform in wet, cold conditions. And it will also build on the advanced driving skills we've developed over the last eight years by teaching our cars how to handle things like skidding on icy, unplowed roads." Waymo also opened a development center in suburban Detroit in 2016, working with Fiat Chrysler to integrate its autonomous technology into Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivans. Visteon began testing and validating its DriveCore autonomous driving platform to evaluate algorithms, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure technology and other systems. Toyota used the facility Wednesday to begin orientation and driver training. ACM has so far secured $110 million to construct the first two phases from founders Ford, Hyundai America Technical Center, Toyota and Visteon, and says it expects to announce more investment soon.
