IF YOU ARE INTERESTED EMAIL ME AT: emiliaeddorantes@churchsociety.net .
Where to start- at the beginning I suppose. This vehicle was sent from the dealer to an approved Ford up fitter for
4x4 conversion- Clydesdale 4x4- utilizing all Ford components from '05+ model F-350 4x4: axles, T-case, springs
(coils), etc. The van was sold to the first owner to transport people in it's original 15 seat configuration. After
2 years, an individual purchased it for a very few months in hopes of building it into an Expedition rig, which he
quickly realized was a bigger endeavor than he felt comfortable undertaking. Then, having an uncle with a Ford
dealership, we purchased the van through him to extend the factory bumper to bumper warranty a year, and the
driveline/powertrain warranty to 100k miles, and she only sits at 39k miles now!!
So, first the base truck: '13 E-350 EB 15 seat XLT, MSRP $49,979
-6.8 V-10, super tough and reliable
-5 speed automatic transmission with Tow/Haul
-4.10 max tow package with integrated brake controller
-reverse backing sensors
-running boards, privacy glass, and remote locking
Total to this point = $71,314
The second owner also had all the sills wrapped in clear vinyl, and entire truck rustproofed using Waxoyl- the best
available and very expensive as they start with entire steam clean of the underside!!
Then, on to my additions, which began with complete Ford 30k mile service and checkpoint to be approved for the
factory extended warranty. Finally the build as follows:
-Front bumper modified to incorporate Sterling Equipment (supplier for Florida Fish and Wildlife) HD brush guard
and winch mount
-new Ironman winch with remote
-Aluminess rear tire carrier
-Aluminess roof rack & side later. Rack has rear rollers and extra Yakima cross bars for boat cradles, etc
-5/ new Toyo AT-II tires, E rated, 34" 285/75-17
-upgraded head unit withUSB, Blue Tooth, and screen
-hard wired rear camera
-remote start
-removed 2nd and 3rd row seats to fit reclining Siena seats with leg rest (all orig seats included)
-custom brackets for Siena seats utilizing factory floor mounts
-8' rubber mat in rear to protect factory carpet
-rear LED light on separate circuit
-front LED fog lights on separate circuit
-front LED bar (with spot light provision) on separate circuit

Hertz Penske GT latest hot Ford Mustang at the rental counter
Tue, 09 Jul 2013Just a couple days after announcing the resurrection of its Rent-A-Racer program, Hertz has revealed a new car being added to its Adrenalin Collection of rental cars. To signify its new partnership with Penske Racing in NASCAR, Hertz introduced a limited-edition version of the Ford Mustang GT, officially called the Hertz Penske GT, at last weekend's NASCAR races in Daytona.

Visually, the Hertz Penske GT starts out with a black and yellow paint and graphics scheme as well as identifying badges, and Hertz has raided the Mustang parts bin for bits and bobs like a Boss 302 front splitter and Shelby GT500 rear valence to give the coupe its own unique look. The model has also receives performance improvements including upgraded suspension and exhaust, Brembo brakes, a retuned ECU and Recaro bucket seats.

Scroll down for the official press release for the Hertz Penske GT, or you can always head to your local Hertz airport location to see if they have one on the lot.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction
Wed, 19 Mar 2014We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.
