1988 Ford Econoline E350 52,800 Original Miles


This Van was converted by Collins Bus Corporation when it was manufactured.  This bus was converted to be a community transport bus for Evergreen Park, IL.  It has an upgraded electrical system to power the heaters and air conditioners.

I further converted the Bus when I purchased it by removing most of the seats.  Two - two passenger seats remain. Each seat has two seat belts installed.  I am a Livestock Farmer and have used this bus to transport meat.  It has easily transported Three 14.8 cubic font freezers full of meat, along with my equipment.  It has served me well, but no longer fits my needs.

  • The alternator was rebuilt January of this year
  • The batteries do not hold a charge.  I have not driven the Bus much in the last six months.  The batteries were starting to get weak and I think non use finished them off.
  • It has dual gas tanks
  • It is one ton
  • The body is very solid and in overall good condition.  There is some surface rust starting that I tried to show in the pictures.  The drivers door is rusted at the bottom.
  • The body has a four foot extension in the rear.
  • The front and rear heaters work very well.
  • The front and rear a/c does not work.  I never took it in for repair and am not sure of the problem.
  • The right front hub cap is missing.
  • The seats are well worn.
  • The bus doors open and close perfectly.  The automatic open does not work.  I had a bar made to lock and secure the doors.
  • I had strong anchors installed in the floor to secure my freezers and equipment.
The Reserve is set at $2,000

Payment Details:  A deposit of $200 within 24 hours of auction close via Paypal.  Full payment in cash is due within 3 days of auction end.

I am located in Bonfield, IL - approximately one hour south of Chicago.

You may set an appointment to see the Bus in person.  You can email me at questions@faithsfarm.com

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.

Ford, Chrysler and Mazda expand scope of Takata airbag recalls

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The scope of the Takata airbag inflator recall is ballooning once again across the United States. Where Honda has elected to take its driver-side airbag campaign nationwide, Chrysler Group and Ford have now announced expanded regional actions to cover some passenger-side airbag inflators. Mazda is adding more regions, as well. For Chrysler Group, the campaign covers the inflators on 149,150 examples of the 2003-model-year Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. The recall is limited to vehicles sold or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The company will begin notifying affected customers on January 19. According to Chrysler's announcement of the action, the passenger side inflators in these trucks "are of a type that is not used in any of the other vehicles affected by Chrysler Group's regional field action." The automaker says that it's not aware of any actual failures or accidents in these pickups and even claims there are no "observed failures in laboratory testing of its airbag modules." The company is continuing to study the problem, though. Ford is taking a similar step by issuing a recall of inflators for 38,500 examples of the 2004-2005 Ranger and 2005-2006 Ford GT. The campaign only affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Certain zip codes of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa are also covered. There's already precedent for passenger-side airbags to be covered under the Takata inflator recall. When many automakers announced campaigns in June, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all included that side in some of their repairs. Subaru subsequently did, as well. In addition, Mazda is expanding the scope of its recall to add Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the affected areas. The company estimates that it has a total of 86,773 vehicles in need of repair. Mazda is also teaming with Toyota to begin independent testing of the Takata inflators. Scroll down to read all of the automakers' announcements of these newly expanded recalls. Statement: Air-Bag Inflators December 3, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich.
