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.

Ford will add lots of carbon fiber to new vehicles

Sat, Apr 18 2015

With BMW receiving a bunch of positive press for its usage of carbon fiber to build its i3 and i8 plug-in vehicles, Ford is jumping into that game as well. The US automaker has reached a manufacturing agreement with Dow Chemical to speed up the use of that material in Blue Oval vehicles. Carbon fiber usage will cut weight from Ford's new products, boosting fuel efficiency as a result. Ford will work with DowAksa, a 50/50 joint venture between Dow Chemical and Turkey-based Aksa Akrilik Kimya Sanayii A.S, on a manufacturing partnership. The goal is to speed up technology research to make it cheaper to make cars and trucks with carbon fiber materials. Ford's light-weighting efforts received a boost of sorts this week when its aluminum-body 2015 F-150 was awarded a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's testing, making this year's version the safest to date. The new body construction cut 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. Take a look at Ford's press release about DowAksa below. FORD, DOWAKSA TO JOINTLY DEVELOP CARBON FIBER FOR HIGH-VOLUME AUTOMOTIVE LIGHT-WEIGHTING APPLICATIONS Ford and DowAksa formalize agreement to advance the adoption of cost-effective carbon fiber components through technology validation and proof of concept to reduce vehicle weight and increase fuel efficiency without sacrificing strength Agreement provides pathway for a high-volume manufacturing partnership New joint development agreement accelerates joint research announced in January in partnership under new U.S. composites manufacturing institute Ford and DowAksa today signed a joint development agreement (JDA) to formally advance research on cost-effective, high-volume manufacturing of automotive-grade carbon fiber, a material poised to play a significant role in the drive to make vehicles lighter for greater fuel efficiency, performance and capability. The agreement, between Ford Motor Company, Ford Global Technologies and DowAksa – a 50/50 joint venture between The Dow Chemical Company and Aksa Akrilik Kimya Sanayii A.S Â– will combine DowAksa's feedstock capacity, carbon fiber conversion and downstream intermediates production capabilities with Ford's expertise in design, engineering and high-volume manufacturing. The goal is to produce materials that make cost-effective carbon fiber composite parts that are much lighter than steel but meet automotive strength requirements.

Daily Driver: 2015 Ford Flex

Mon, Mar 16 2015

The Ford Flex has been around. It's not T-Rex or even Model T old, but still; it's been hauling people and stuff since 2008 without a major redesign. That's quite a long time in the car world. Sales have been sliding the last couple of years, and the Flex is now considered a niche player in the crossover-centric US auto market. But that doesn't mean it's still not a pretty good vehicle for its purpose: If you need to haul people and stuff, there are few better choices. Some even think it's a guilty pleasure. I spent a winter afternoon tooling around suburban Detroit in a handsomely equipped Flex Limited. We're talking the 3.5-liter EcoBoosted V6 with 365 horsepower and all-wheel drive. Inside, there were big comfy seats, lots of leather, acres of storage space and even a built-in refrigerator. The drive ended up being surprisingly fun. If there's such a thing as a hot-rod minivan, this is it. I also got noticed. The Flex's boxy design has aged well. It's still polarizing, but there aren't many contemporary vehicles that look like a Flex. So if you've ever seen a Flex on the road, and thought: "Man, that thing is big. I wonder what it's like to drive that?" Now's your chance to find out.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
