I'd prefer to keep it, but I am out of time to finish it. This is one awesome van, and needs very little to complete.
It started as an original 1998 Quiqley conversion, Coil Spring front, and leaf spring rear. I bought this as a non-runner..or, barely running, a few years ago, and have spent the past few years working on it while I can. All the heavy work (motor swap etc) was done by a local shop.
*And* this is a 1998, the last year that requires no emissions in all 50 states, including California.
California started emissions inspections for all diesels, 1999 and later, so this 1998 will never need emission inspection, in any state, ever!!
Things that need to be finished:
Interior was gutted except for rear headliner because I didn't want to break it, so that is still grey, as are the front seats. Everything else is tan. The front springs are a bit soft and should be replaced with a custom, heavier spring. I have another pair of shocks to make the font dual shocks, but I've had no time to make brackets and install them (shocks will be included). The transmission shifter is a bit off, though it does shift into all positions. I noticed this when I got it back from the transmission shop. Some of the tabs that hold the driver side trim on (piece under the steering column) are broken off, so it's not 100% secure, but that should be an easy find at a junkyard. There is one piece of trim missing from the rear passenger side, it's the first piece behind the side door, and it was missing when I bought the van. It needs a front end alignment since the front steering linkage was replaced, the wheel is off center, so it's just a draglink adjustment. The batteries may be weak, but it's been below 20 degrees an awful lot here. I keep the charger on it all the time when it's parked, just in case. I do have two new batteries, but I'm not inclined to replace them when it's below 20 degrees outside. The interior is a bit dirty, but again...20 degree weather is not helping my motivation to clean it. Nothing major, some rags and some windex and a vacuuming should do it, and yes, you can use your house vacuum with the brushes, it's that big inside. The transmission temperature gage is installed, and wired, but not plugged into the transmission. The sending unit wires must be extended to reach, though, the sending unit is installed in the pan. The wires just need to be extended and run to the sending unit, and they are coiled up behind the trim panel, below the steering column. I think that's it, I don't think I missed anything, but feel free to ask questions, and be sure to look at all the pictures.
The good stuff!
(All New parts have less than 2000 miles on them)

Custom intake:
The under-hood battery was installed underneath, next to the second battery, in a factory battery box
I used a 4" hole saw to drill through the hood, and the radiator support.
I then welded a piece of 4" pipe into the radiator support for structural integrity (it's just as strong as it was before cutting it)
PVC pipe is connected to the turbo, and a cone filter, and the cone filter sits directly behind the 4" hole
A custom 'airbox' of sorts was made with styrofoam insluation, as a temporary box, though it works great
This is the only way to get air into this van.
Axles:
Dana 60 front (original axle), rebuilt, 4.10 gears, open differential (an OX locker would be sweet)
Dana 80 disk brake rear from a 2000 Dodge, rebuit

New re-arched, 9 leaf rear springs
New Monroe Gas Magnum shocks all around (pn 34658, heaviest ones I could find, same part number, front and rear)
Track bar relocated to front of axle to eliminate bind and bump steer
(this is a Quigley flaw, they mount the track bar on the rear of the axle, between the control arms, and it binds on the lower control are
causing bump-steer and erratic handling. That has been fixed on this van.)
Interior:
New carpet
New foil-faced insulation (first layer)
New carpet padding (on top of foil faced insulation)
Seats from a 2006 E-van, great condition
Autometer Pyrometer gage

37x12.50x16.5 Goodyear Wrangler MT, Military version, 90+% tread
Black D-ring wheels
Centramatic Balancers
McGard lugnuts and wheel locks
I'm sure I'm missing something, because there has been a ton of work and new parts.
The front bumper is MASSIVE, and came with the van.
I installed two LightForce lights on the bumper, through a fused relay directly from the batteries. These will come with yellow filters.
I drove this van on several ~700 mile highway trips, and it did great, I just have no time to finish it, and no need for it any more.
The reserve is low, just to break even with the parts cost. I have several more pictures, including the gutting, cleaning, and installing of the interior, but I can post only 24 pics on the listing, but if you give me your email address, I can send more pictures.
The last feedback was left by a bidder that did not pay for the item. An unpaid item case was opened, bidder was informed, unpaid item case was closed, transaction was cancelled, and THEN the buyer attempted to send funds 18 days after close of auction, by a method other than those specified in this legally binding contract. eBay's removal of this feedback is pending.
This is a LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT.
If you bid, be prepared to follow the terms of the contract.
Check the payment details.
I will be unavailable for pickup between 31-Jan and 03-Feb.
If you plan to ship the vehicle, let me know, and be certain your shipper will transport it, it is 7'-9" tall.
On Jan-28-13 at 11:04:10 PST, seller added the following information:
NOTE: About the low score of 12 on the history report.
This is originally a Colorado vehicle that was used by one of the Colorado ski resorts (which lowers the score for some reason? why that lowers the score escapes me)
The accident in the history happened while I owned it, and it wasn't an accident, it was stolen by a mechanic in Seymour Indiana, and recovered.
The damage was a ripped out parking brake cable, bent driveshaft, and a cut on the inside of a tire from the parking brake cable. That was the original Dana 60 rear that has been replaced with a Dana 80, the original driveshaft that was repalced with a new driveshaft 1410 driveshaft, and the orginal Mickey Thompson tires, which have all been replaced with the 37's. The van also had the original engine and transmission in it at that time, both of which have been replaced since. There is nothing in the history that has lowered the value of this van, and I really wonder about the value of these 'free' auto history reports.
And, this is a nearly 100% RUST FREE Colorado truck. There is NO ROT ANYWHERE, only minor surface rust on some parts of the frame, and no rust on any body panels, inside or out, except for minimal surface rust on some parts of the rockers (see pictures). Somebody is going to get a killer van for far less than it would cost to build.

Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.
Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium
Mon, 28 Oct 2013You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.
