Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

This is an IST surveillance van (Manufactured at their facility in Florida) that we used primarily for unmanned operations. This van is a true sleeper. No one ever suspects it, even police officers flip out when seeing the inside! You could easily restore it to its former glory for about 5 to 7 thousand dollars. That is including some basic equipment so you can use it for manned operations too. (I already had an estimate to do bodywork and paint for $1800)

I only have current pictures of the outside of the vehicle. Inside pics are from 2007, but it looks pretty much the same, and has primarily been in storage the whole time. It has never been used on a case more than one day, or one parking. We have only put I believe around 4 to 6,000 miles on this van . The original retail was over $80,000, and you can still buy this year van (but with more mileage) from the manufacturer for 30K+. We are the second owner.

NAPA value on this is 7375.00

It has an electrical problem, and it will drain a battery over night. I can tell you what I know in relation to the electrical after you buy it. We pulled a lot of the wiring out that connected the back of the van, to the front engine area. Especially to the battery bank, in an attempt to trouble shoot. We kept all items removed, and since we are not electrical specialists, we (By this I mean our backyard mechanic...lol) couldn't figure it out.

It needs the following:

1. Paint and bodywork (When we removed the latter rack, we found lots of rust and some wiring holes. Most have been sealed.

2. It needs a new window motor plastic gear (we believe) for passenger door, and the door needs reassembled. I believe we have all the parts.

3. Needs equipment. If you buy this van, you can use my business account to order equipment "at cost". All you need is a minimum of 8 channel DVR; four pinhole cameras, and one incredible zoom camera for the periscope. Guessing $1500.00?

4. Periscope controller is missing, and needs new mirrors. I have never been able to use it, due to not knowing how to operate it. Any periscope company can fix this, or a electrical/mechanical engineer. But I would recommend you get it from IST, since it is their creation. Price: Unknown. Should be less than $500?

5. New batteries for battery bank under floor. (The big semi truck type)

6. Huge power inverter needs repaired. (New this unit costs over $1,000, a new replacement is over $800. It would be cheaper top repair)

7. Seat floor track cleaned. I do not know how to operate seat. Like I said, all I used this van for was unmanned operations. Either using a internet type setup, or a review later (TL-VCR) type recording device.

Equipment still in it:

1. Recarro racing seat

2. Some sort of Poloroid picture processing machine. Do not know anything about it, but it has "Poloroid" on it. Its pretty big, and its possible it is a printer of some sort. Because of where it is mounted, I believe they forgot to remove it.

3. Massive silent Ice air conditioner. Its the biggest I have ever seen. It must hold 20 bags of ice.

4. Huge equipment power switching panel. see pics with red switches.

5. Battery bank charger, built into cabinet. see pics, it is white.

6. External AC power hookup (wheel well)

7. Shotgun mount with security retained device.

8. Complete desk system.

9. Taken down, but I still have all the communications antennas that were covertly installed in the latter rack.

10. Defog fans built near every window.

Operational features: (Not sure if currently working, some items we removed wiring on, but still have all wiring & parts)

1. Van automobile AC system cools front and back. Just had it pressure tested for 8 hours no leeks, but it is not cooling. The police did upgrade the AC system to today's standards. (Also has silent ice AC that works off of bags of ice)

2. Keyed ignition in back of van. To start vehicle when batteries are running low. This is where the power inverter is suppose to kick in. We removed the inverter, but never repaired it.

3. Battery bank master switch, located in rear of van. I believe switches van from front engine power to rear battery bank.

4. Hidden microphones around exterior of van, all wiring still in place.

5. 9 camera ports (Includes motorized periscope)

6. Supposedly can run 12+ hours on DC battery power.

7. Blackout switch for brake lights, and cab lights. (If you need to relocate the van at night, this is a nice option)

8. Siren

9. Can start and adjust idle of van from rear of van.

We replaced the tires between 2 and 4 thousand miles ago at a price of $800 (Not including spare, it was replaced with a used tire)

Anyways, I hope you like. A E350 with 22,063 original miles! It is worth every penny. You can always convert it back to a cargo van too, and sell all the equipment separately. Good luck!

PLEASE NOTE: I AM SELLING THIS VAN LOCALLY ALSO, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO PULL IT OFF LINE AT ANY TIME IF IT SELLS LOCALLY! THIS INCLUDES DURING THE BIDDING PROCESS! Thank you for understanding.

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial

Wed, 28 May 2014

How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.

2015 Ford F-150 appearance guide takes the truck from mild to wild with options

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

We already know that the 2015 Ford F-150 has a base price coming in at just $395 more than the 2014 model, despite all of the new standard tech and aluminum-intensive construction in the upcoming version. Now the Blue Oval is finally giving us an idea of what that extra money actually buys customers, with the release of the appearance guide for its latest pickup.
The guide basically explains everything you could want to know about what changes occur among the multitude of trims on the 2015 F-150. There are five levels for the new truck. Although, that is something of a misnomer because most of them are also available with either Sport or Chrome packages, plus the FX4 Off-Road option with Hill Descent Control, an electronic-locking rear axle, off-road shocks and skid plates. With 13 available colors, including 4 new ones, and 14 wheel designs in various sizes, pickup buyers should have no problem specing one to fit their style.
The lineup starts out with the base XL with a black grille and fascia and 17-inch wheels. However, across most of the range the Sport and Chrome packages are also available to add either body-color or chrome accents, respectively. Next up is the XLT with a standard chrome grille but also available with a black, billet-style one with a body-color surround. Things really start getting plush with the Lariat model with leather trim, a three-bar front end and 18-inch wheels. The King Ranch sticks with that look but adds power running boards, 20-inch wheels and two-tone paint. Finally, the top-dog Platinum is all about bling with yet another frontal design, chrome door handles and mirror caps, a big logo running across the tailgate and more.

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.
