Here is something you will not see very often. A real blast from the past. This is a 1977 Ford E250 Club Wagon van with a host of custom vanner upgrades and accessories.
Beginning with a Dana-70 dually rear end, tapered running boards, custom fiberglass fender flares (need some repair work), diamond-plate interior cargo floor, 8-ball shifter knob, custom bumpers, trailer hitch and more. This is a great project for someone who enjoys customizing and working on their own vehicle. The 3/4-ton rating and age provide for emission-exemption in most areas, which allows for the upgrade of a high performance gas engine or a diesel conversion. It currently has a factory 351 Windsor installed. Be sure to check your local emissions laws before considering.
This machine has been collecting dust for the past five years after my daily commute doubled, making it less practical for driving to work on nice days. Moving it last weekend for a set of current photos has shown that the van still runs and drives but does not stop. New rear wheel cylinders, new front calipers and master cylinder were installed in the past 5K miles, but that was a few years ago. Oil pressure is still strong at normal operating temperature, as you will notice from the gauges photo. As with any vehicle that has been parked for five years, it's best to plan on towing it to your destination. The right front wheel is actually the spare, with a brand new (zero-mile) 16.5" tire installed. Correct white painted rim will be included in the auction. I also have a set of dually wheel simulators (wheel covers) which will be included in this auction.
I have owned this van for approximately ten years. First saw it during the late'80's, as a low-mileage gold Club Wagon with unusual dually conversion upgrade in progress. Fast forward another 15 years and the same van turned up again, just a few miles away from the first site, for sale at an Iron Art studio. They were using it to transport exhibits and to showcase their custom fabrication work. It was now painted gold/purple, wearing custom door panels, contained a bit more body filler than back in the 80's, and most of the dually conversion had been completed.
After purchasing from the Iron Art studio, I installed a new radiator, new carburetor, double-roller timing chain set and finished the dually conversion with correct front Budd wheels/heavy duty calipers. It was fun to drive on nice days, also made for a very stable tow vehicle. The long-term plan was to expand on the towing capability, by retrofitting the factory 351/C6 drivetrain with a late model 7.3 IDI diesel and automatic overdrive, as time allowed. Also planned to replace the rusty doors and repaint the entire van. I haven't had an opportunity to perform the upgrades, due to time constraints.
The auction winner will have first opportunity to purchase a separate 1991 E350 Cube Van with diesel engine and automatic overdrive, along with a pair of solid doors, for an additional $700 cash.
Terms of the auction are as follows: $250 deposit due immediately after auction end, payable in the form of Paypal. Balance is due at the time of pickup, or within 7 days after auction end, payable in US Cash only. This vehicle is being sold as-is, with no warranty. Good luck and happy bidding!

Editors' Picks January 2022 | Ford Maverick, Jeep Grand Cherokee and more
Wed, Feb 9 2022This month, we awarded Editors' Pick awards to a number of totally redesigned, new models. Most notable of the bunch is the 2022 Ford Maverick. Ford took a chance on a new segment, and its execution is as close to perfect as we could hope for. The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a worthy competitor, though, and was also named an Editors' Pick. Also in this list, we have the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's an excellent SUV, and it's only going to get better when the plug-in hybrid 4xe model hits the roads. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in January that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Quick take: Jeep's midsize SUV hits it out of the park with the latest generation. We could stand to see some powertrain innovation, but the Grand Cherokee's premium proposition is sound. Score: 8.0 What it competes with: Honda Passport, Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Edge, Chevrolet Blazer, Nissan Murano Pros: Highly capable, luxurious interior, choices aplenty Cons: Pricey, fuel economy From the editors Associate Editor, Byron Hurd — "Jeep did almost everything right with the redesigned Grand Cherokee. Its powertrain offerings are fairly unremarkable, but the new two-row 4xe will go a long way toward addressing that. It's an otherwise fantastic, modern, luxurious Jeep SUV." In-depth analysis: 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee First Drive Review | 1 fewer row, 1 more touchscreen  2022 Ford Maverick Quick take: The Ford Maverick offers tremendous value, efficiency, incredibly well-thought-out packaging, plenty of storage, a fairly engaging drive and ease of use, all with the utility of a pickup bed. We like the hybrid, but the EcoBoost engine and FX4 package offer more capability. Score: 8 What it competes with: Hyundai Santa Cruz Pros: Very affordable, Hybrid fuel economy, compact size Cons: Tight backseat, FWD only Hybrid, no cruise control in base trim From the editors: Green, Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder — "The Maverick is simply a dynamite package. It's smart, useful, drivable, efficient, providing affordable utility in the underserved compact pickup segment.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
