2006 Ford E-450 6.0l Diesel Transit Bus, Transport Bus on 2040-cars
Scarborough, Maine, United States
I bought this bus from the Transit Authority in Virginia last April. The bus has every record or oil changes, tires rotations, they kept a book on this bus. Bus is in decent good condition on the outside (see pics) and the interior is really clean. a NEW, not re-manufactured, tranny was put in about 100k ago, 4 new injectors done about 20k ago. I drove it from Virginia to Maine with zero problems. got an average of 13mpg. The reason i bought it sight unseen was cause of the records they kept on it and how good a shape it was for a 2006.
Was driving it the other day and the engine died while driving. So had it towed and mechanic said there is oil in the coolant but no coolant in the oil. He said it was more then likely an oil cooler failure. The engine turns over and cranks but wont fire. I didnt want to dump money into them tearing the engine apart so I am just listing it forsale. Everything on the bus works except the issue w the oil in the coolant. If you have the place and tool and time to tear this engine apart then this would be a good deal for you. I also have found a replacement engine in VT for $2500 with only 120k on it, I will gladly give the name and number to the winning bidder to the guy who has this engine. This really is a good bus for the right person w time and place to work on it. BUS WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED FROM CURENT LOCATION IN SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE TO YOUR FINAL DESTINATION AT YOUR EXPENSE. Feel free to text me or call me with any questions 207-318-9725 |

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction
Mon, 29 Jul 2013The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."
2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal
Fri, 22 Mar 2013True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]

They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
