You will not find a nicer, better maintained, needs nothing, cleaner 7.3 4x4 Extended Wheelbase E-350 Excursion Van ANYWHERE!!! This was a custom build by my shop for a Texas Shelby Event to transport celebrities in luxury comfort and everything has only 7500 miles on it since full complete top to bottom build in 2016. Shelby side stripes, bunny logo stickers, silver over the top stripes, Terlingua Racing Team stickers, and Shelby letters are all removable easily if you choose to remove them. This is one of the cream puffs you've waited a long time to find. Even if you look all the time, you will agree that this is the best of the best. nothing overlooked and no expense spared. Built to be safe and reliable enough to drive daily, tow anything, or drive cross country in style. This is a 2 owner ( I purchased from the original doctor owner in 2015, beautiful, ultimate, best of everything, Sherrod hi-top 4x4 7.3 Powerstroke van. When I say ultimate, I mean it. Everything is going for this van....one New Mexico owner until 2015, never towed with, never wrecked, never in the snow or salt, last year of the forged rod, 7.3 Powerstroke motor, no scratches, scuffs, dings, or dents, no paint fading, and a fresh 2016 build that I will explain below with 7500 miles since completion. This is a very well built, well sorted, needs nothing, fully functional 4x4 van. It needs nothing to enjoy right away and it is a go anywhere van. Thank you for viewing my auction. After being disappointed by the cost of other 9+ passenger SUV's and vans that are 4wd out there and looking at this one, please feel free to message me. This is a 10 day auction and it will sell and you will not find another like it. It was custom built by my shop for a Shelby Event to transport celebrities and I will never build another. All Shelby stickers and emblems are easily removable if you do not like them. No holes were drilled. Most of my 7.3 Power Strokes end up selling before listing ends due to time. Whomever hits Buy It Now gets it immediately,.. No bidding and waiting, no back and forth negotiating, no games, no documents fees or taxes collected by me. Don't miss out, this van will sell, hopefully to you.This van is an absolute cream puff and drives absolutely exceptional, and is excellent through out. Has been in dry New Mexico and Southern CA climate since new and always garaged. It looks, starts, runs, smells, and drives like new. Original doctor owner special ordered this van new in New Mexico from Sherrod who was well known then and still is well known for high end van conversions. They built the van to his specs on a brand new extended wheel base 7.3 Powerstroke E350 with 6 leather captain chairs, and 4th row power folding queen bed/3 seat bench/5th row reverse facing 2 seat bench for 2 or 3 children. Van will seat 11-12 total. A 6 foot adult can almost fully stand up in this van, He wanted plenty of storage too and this van got it. Original cost in 2000 was $107K!!! According to him, only 13 Sherrod Hi-Top E350 Conversion Vans were built with the 7.3 Powerstroke and extended wheel base from 97-03. He enjoyed the van with his wife and 6 kids for 15 years and even was able to keep it through his divorce. Once the last 3 of his kids left the house, he sold it to me on ebay ( I searched for a van such as this for many years) and I had it shipped to my shop in Palm Springs, CA for a full refresh and upgrade to the best of the best U-Joint Off Road 4X4 conversion. They are well known for the best components to convert these vans to 4 wheel drive properly. You can Google them and read all about their suspension online. Even Quigley 4X4 owners that are not happy with their poor geometry suspension, end up going with U-Joint Offroad. Their components are far from inexpensive, but well worth the money and will last a lifetime. Honestly after fitting all their components, the van rides smoother than it did when it was 2wd!! It handles like a performance car, and is as smooth as a Lincoln. The 8 piston brakes make it stop like a Porsche. I will go into detail below on what is done to the suspension below. I spent $22K just in their suspension components, differentials, custom built/balanced 1350 driveshafts, 8 piston brakes, wheels, tires, etc, not to mention the $13K full interior/audio/video system upgrades/refresh, $15K in the all new OEM Ford 2014 front sheet metal and custom glass out/doors off re-paint using all PPG products, and $10K in drive train and preventative maintenance to make this a no worry van for a very long time. This van has over $60K in professionally installed upgrades and preventative maintenance that I will explain below. If you want a project, please buy one, as this is not it. It needs nothing at all. If you don't know the history of the 7.3 Power Stroke, please use Google. I get a kick out of people that message me saying they can get an 07 diesel van for what I am asking for my 7.3's. A 2007 is a 6.0, I would not take another 6.0 if someone gave it to me. Again, use Google if you don't know about diesels, or the difference between gas and diesel vans. I am not going to spend more time and space here explaining diesel vs. gas or how bad the other diesels are as it is well known and easily searchable if you don't already know. Nothing overlooked on this van, There is plenty of junk out there if you want a cheapo that needs a huge amount of expensive work, but will never equate to a van such as this that has been properly built with pride and impeccably maintained since new. Buy one of the junkers, change the oil 5X after running it, and it still won't be clean and never will be. This one is immaculately clean and always has been, If you want a turn key 4x4 van that will do what you want it to, be reliable, very spacious and comfortable, will tow whatever you want, hold the whole family in comfort, needs nothing, basically like new, and a workhorse that keeps up with your rugged intensive labor you expect from it while seating up to 11 people in full luxury comfort, you just found it. Pay a little more than the junk out there and get A LOT more. This is a perfect tow rig that is simple, inexpensive, and easy to maintain with out all the sensors and maintenance issues of the new ones. All the maintenance items have been taken care of (and always done before needed). I have never had a person buy a 7.3 Powerstroke from me that has not been more than happy and my 100% positive feedback rating over the past 11 years on ebay reflects this. Please take the time to allow the 300+ detailed photos to load, it IS WELL WORTH the wait, and PLEASE read the entire description before asking questions (I know it is long, but I wanted to cover all bases) If you are serious, I know you will read every word, and look at every picture in detail. This is the type of person I am looking for, for a quick and easy sale. I am very easy to deal with. Feel free to message me for my phone number or send me yours and we can discuss every aspect of this amazing van.

This cream puff will sell, don't miss out, you will never find another like it in this condition, mileage, and with all these options, preventative maintenance, and upgrades. I am a full service shop very familiar with these 4x4 vans as I have built several of them over the years (all of which have brought $65K+). I am especially familiar with the 7.3 Powerstroke. You want something added, deleted, or changed? Not a problem. We can add anything your heart and wallet desires to make this exactly what you want and need for your exact use and price range!! I have other 7.3's Super Duty's trucks available too for different price ranges and can build to your specs. Message me for details on them. I am a distributor for many companies, specializing in 7.3 upgrades, and preventative maintenance items such as supplemental coolant, transmission, and oil bypass filters, larger transmission coolers, turbo upgrades, tuners, etc. Suspension: Absolutely the best of the best has been used on this van. Google U-Joint Off Road and read about all the extensive parts Chris offers. This van has all the best on it from him for not only a smooth, stable and safe ride, but also for longevity. The Quigley van conversions on the E series has always been known as being unstable and unsafe. Ford never made these vans in 4wd from the factory. I started with 13K mile low mileage front and rear differentials from a buddy of mine's wrecking yard from an un-wrecked truck. They were from a truck that had an engine fire and differentials were not damaged in any way. Both were painted with 3 coats of epoxy semi gloss black paint with a spray gun. Nothing on this van has been painted with a spray can or cheap paint. Front is a Stage 2 Super Dana 60 with cross over steering, 3.73 gears, new synthetic fluid, Warn heavy duty manual hubs, 8 piston SSBC calipers and rotors, braided steel teflon lined brake lines, new ball joints, tie rods, U Joint sway bar kit, bracket kits, hanger kits, inner bumper, gas tank shortening kit, etc. Leaf Springs are Atlas 4" smooth ride custom rate with Fox 2.0 stainless steel shocks. Rear is a Stage 2 Sterling 10.25 with upgraded Ford Traction Lock, 3.73 Gears, new synthetic fluid with friction modifier, finned OEM Ford 11+ differential cover and fox 2.0 stainless shocks. Steering box was sent out to be rebuilt and upgraded with Timken roller bearings. All standard and upgraded UJOR parts were used for a total of 4" lift over stock. Wheels are Black Rock Forged 17X9's with 285/70R17 Cooper Discoverer ATP tires which are a 33" diameter and are very smooth on road/great off road and in the rain and are E load rated. Lugs are stainless steel and I have locking lug tool that goes with van. Valve stem caps have Shelby Logo. I added a full size 17" spare in stock location under van that clears the big brakes and is correct bolt pattern for new diffs. Every part of the suspension, brakes, wheels, tires, and steering has 7500 miles on it. Everything was properly planned, fitted and executed. There is no wobbling or vibrations, even at 85+ MPH. There is no clunking or binding. Truck is stable both on and off road and in the rain. It goes straight down the road with no issues. $22K was spent on parts and my cost of my worker's labor for the suspension. Not even considering my own time. Everything underneath was cleaned and any areas that were welded were also primed and painted. Underside was already very clean to begin with. Trailer hitch is rated to tow up to 20K lbs which will pretty much be anything you can hook up to it. With the upgraded power, brakes, and suspension, you should have no issues towing what ever you choose safely and with ease. Exterior: Was a very clean extended wheelbase Sherrod Hi top conversion to begin with (look at photo toward bottom of my pictures that shows the van when I bought it). As stated before, it was garage kept in New Mexico by its' original owner until I bought it in 2015. It had no accidents or rust, just minor scuffs, scrapes, and dings from 15 years of use hauling around 6 kids. Sherrod did the original dark burgundy metallic paint job as all their vans started out as white from Ford. I had a friend of mine that owns a high end paint shop that does repairs and paint jobs mostly on Bentley, Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Porsche etc do the complete repaint in an improved, but similar color as Sherrod originally used. I bought the complete 2014 front clip all new from local Ford dealer here. Hood, fenders, grill, hood latch, engine box plastics, headlights, bumpers, all brackets, nuts bolts, clips, are all new Ford parts, properly fitted. Look at all pictures below of all parts new in Ford boxes that were used. Van looks like a 2014, no one can tell it is a 2000. All trim, glass, mirrors, door handles, locks, and doors were removed. All panels sanded, sealed, primed and block sanded several times, painted with 3 coats of base coat, then 4 coats of clear, then re-installed. Only the best PPG products were used. Paint line between Ingot Silver bottom and Burgundy Wine Metallic upper is buried in clear so no ridge. I have extra paint that I will include with van for touch ups. After 3 weeks of curing, all panels were color sanded and buffed to a high shine. During reassembly, all weatherstrips, emblems, plastic trim pieces, and front windshield were replaced with new Ford parts. Even windshield is a new Ford Carlite 4 layer unit. All side windows were tinted with expensive 3M Crystaline Titanium tint. Bushwacker fender flares were color matched in Ingot Silver and stainless steel running boards were added to make getting in and out of van easy for all. Rear tail lights were upgraded to LED units and are super bright. I retrofitted new Super Duty fog lights into custom powdercoated mesh lower grill in bumper. They are wired to their own switch under dash. All lights are adjusted properly and it is easy to see on dark roads at night. After all panels were adjusted, all bolt heads were touched up. Engine box has a billet bolts to make it look more custom. Black Shelby side stripes, silver over the top stripes, all 4 Terlingua bunnies and Terlingua Racing Team letters are all stickers and can be removed if you so choose, as can the Shelby emblems on the grill and both sides. Power side mirrors work in all 4 positions. There is no wind noise or water leaks even driving in the rain. Each person that has seen this van at events or ridden in it has loved it. Over $15K was spent on parts, materials, and labor on the exterior in 2016. Paint and fit and finish is very nice through out. No corners were cut and every effort to do things better than OEM was done. You'd be hard pressed to find this type of detail on any vehicle under $100K. Van is appraised and insured for $75K on a collector vehicle policy and it is $653 per year for full coverage and agreed value of $75K with no mileage limitations. Most insurance companies will do the same for you and insure it as a collector vehicle and you can still tow with it!! Interior: When Sherrod did their conversion when this van was new for the original owner, pretty much all the best items were used for the time. He checked all the option boxes. However, after his 6 kids were done sitting in the van over the 15 years he owned it, interior was looking pretty old. The 6 leather captain chairs fully recline and have all been redone in top grain Italian leather. Driver's seat is 6 way power. All carpet was redone with high quality all weather carpet and extra sound deadening was added. Headliner and side panels were redone in Alcantera suede. Stereo was replaced with a 2016 model Kenwood touchscreen with back up cam, Bluetooth, and navigation which also shows GPS speed and speed limits. All Infinity speakers, amps, and sub woofers were upgraded. Stereo sounds fantastic and high end with no distortion or rattles. TV is brand new with remote and you can watch a DVD or Blue Ray on main head unit and TV. Instructions and remote are included with van. The 4th row power folding queen bed/3 seat bench/5th row 2-3 seat reverse facing bench for 2-3 children works great and is power sliding up and down and forward/backward. Great that there are several seating options to put those that don't get along at times in separate areas!! There is also plenty of storage under the bed/bench. All sliding privacy shades work properly. Center console between the front seats has a cooler in it with shocks to hold open the lid. Cup holders in this console are heated and cooled. They work great!! Power window motors are new as are all the door locks and the door and window switches which were upgraded to the newer style for an updated look. All windows and locks work properly and locks operate perfectly. Both keyless entry remotes work properly and have no worn buttons. There is a power invertor inside with 2 120V power outlets to operate what ever you choose, and there are several USB ports as well as headphone jacks. There is also a rechargeable hand held vacuum for keeping the carpets clean on long trips. Each seat has cup holders. There is tons of storage in this van for everyone. The various reading lights are easy to operate and the mood lighting is very relaxing and gives off just the right amount of light. Van will seat 11-12 total. I have had 9 adults and 4 kids in it at the same time for a 2 hour trip and van still felt like it was empty and did not sag in the back. A 6 foot adult can almost fully stand up in this van. I put a brand New $550 from Ford OEM new leather wrapped steering wheel on the van with cruise control switches. Cruise control works perfectly too. All original wood was removed and hydrocarboned to look like real carbon fiber. It ads a great, high end look to the interior and much more up to date than the original Sherrod installed maple wood. $3K alone was spent on the hydrocarbon!! Over $13K was spent on all this in the interior to make the experience on long trip or 4x4 expeditions comfortable for all, young or old. Drivetrain:. Although the 231K miles was nothing for a 7.3 Powerstroke when I bought it in 2015, I wanted to have a ZERO worry van for long trips anywhere, anytime. There were no oil leaks, smoking, check engine lights, or issues of any kind. Almost all the 231K were freeway miles taking his kids on trips and to practices etc. All fluid changes were done before needed. I had my Ford Diesel Senior Master Tech replace all wear items for no worries for a long time. Waste of money? Maybe. He even told me I was nuts as well as van already ran, but I didn't want any issues to worry about being far away from home in the future. All 8 injectors were rebuilt with upgraded new 50HP nozzles, new Ford OEM Under Valve Cover Harnesses/gaskets, new Ford glow plugs, new Ford glow plug relay, New Ford CPS, ICP and IPR sensors, all new hoses, DieselSite 203 degree thermostat, new OEM Ford fuel filter and Viton fuel bowl re-seal kit, new belt and air filters,and new belt tensioner. Turbo was removed and sent to Ron Holland in Utah for his full rebuild, update and balance, new IH stainless steel bevelled up pipes were installed and all other remaining HPOP and misc seals were all redone in Vition which will not swell up and eventually crack like the original rubber ones eventually will. Transmission was removed and rebuilt with upgraded valve body, shift kit and billet torque converter. Inside of trans still looked new also, but was redone anyway. A Mag-Hytech 7.5 quart extra deep transmission pan was added. Hardened output shaft and rebuilt NV 271 manual shift transfer case was installed along with UJOR manual transfer case manual shifter that I modified to fit in front of console for shifting into 4wd high and low. Custom 1350 series driveshafts were built and balanced to finish off the drivetrain. The alternator is an updated 200 amp unit with Timken roller bearings and there is an additional deep cycle battery underneath van in separate battery box to operate interior functions when van is not running for up to 3 hours with out draining starting batteries. Alternator charges all 3 batteries very fast with no issues. Exhaust is a 4" aluminized mandrel bent Diamond Eye system with a stainless steel high flow muffler and a 5" turn down polished stainless steel tip. It is very quiet and hard to even tell it is a diesel at 70-75 MPH on the road. Previous owner had a new Ford radiator installed and front/rear A/C redone in 2014. Van still runs cool even on 120 degree days an A/C is ICE cold!!. There are 4 custom PHP tunes that were custom done for this van and are as safe as stock. Setting 1 is stock, setting 2 is 75hp tow, setting 3 is 100hp, and setting 3 is 140 hp. I like the 100hp tune the best. Plenty of power and great gas mileage and no smoke. Tunes can be adjusted while you are driving. There are absolutely no mechanical worries with this van for a long time. Only the best parts were chosen and used and over $10K was spent on preventative maintenance and upgrades so there are no issues. There is 7500 miles on all the new components and it couldn't run any better. It is absolutely dialed in and needs nothing. It is quiet, smooth, and has lots of power with out any smoke. The 7.3 Powerstroke is often called the "Million Mile Motor" They go that or more when taken care of. Never will we see a diesel the like 7,3 Powerstroke again. Ice cold A/C. This van has front and rear A/C and can be adjusted independently. Does not run hot when A/C is on. I find I actually have to turn the A/C to a higher setting after 10 minutes even in 120 degree heat as I start shivering in this van with A/C on full blast!! Belt does not moan or squeal like some do with the A/C on. Does not overheat even in 120+ degree weather. Coolant changed every 2 years with proper Ford Motorcraft green coolant, distilled water, and Ford SCA diesel additive even when driven little and flushed last year including from the block. No exhaust leaks from anywhere, including up pipes like many have. Sounds fantastic with absolutely no odd noises or issues! Truck has never had an aftermarket air intake installed or been beat on like most. NO EXHAUST LEAKS FROM UP-PIPES OR TURBO LIKE MANY HAVE!! Has no problems starting in cold weather either. It is very powerful and sounds great with the Diamond Eye aluminized 4" mandrel bent turbo back exhaust with stainless steel muffler and 5" polished stainless steel turn down tip. Most of these vans don't drive as good as they look, this one absolutely does! I have owned, bought, sold, built or consigned 50+ Super Duty and Excursion 7.3 Powerstroke diesels over the years, and unfortunately 3 6.0 and 6.4's, 2 V10's (horrible engines!!), and quite a few Lightnings, and this van runs, sounds and drives better than most of them, honestly, plus doesn't cost a fortune to maintain like the newer diesels. I have not owned a 6.7, but have no interest after hearing horror stories from friends that have owned them and complained about ridiculous maintenance costs and a few that have caught on fire. Who wants to replace expensive particulate filters every 40-60K miles at a cost of over $4K+ and add diesel exhaust urea fluid consistently anyway, and wait for the truck to regenerate constantly.....not me!! The 7.3 is simple and easy to maintain and does not have tons of sensors like the new ones that go out and are very expensive to replace. The 7.3 comes from the factory with no catalytic converter, no diesel particulate filter, no DEF fluid, and all the other power robbing, expensive to maintain items on the 03.5+ diesels!! You are basically looking at a near new van for 1/3 the price (comparable new truck actually $87K+ for a new junk diesel!!) of a comparable new one with out all the issues of the new ones. You can't even get a Super Duty that does what this will for many more years. The 7.3 Powerstrokes are going UP in value while the minute you drive off the lot in any new diesel truck, or van you've already lost money!! You arebetteroff getting one of these 7.3's that have been driven, properly broken in, and properly maintained than one with super low miles that has not been properlystoredor has dried up seals because of incorrect storage and maintenance. Nothing leaks or seeps on this van and it burns no oil. Again, truck does not leak or seep a drop of anything. Starts right up, first time, every time. Idles smoothly with nice deep exhaust tone. No hesitations or skips. Very smooth power. Gets great MPG too, 16+ MPG in town, and 20+ MPG on the freeway driving easy. If you set the cruise control at 2050 RPM (7.3's sweet spot) on level ground it will get 20+ MPG!! I hand calculated each tank from Palm Springs to my Shelby Event in Texas 2 years in a row and got 17-21 MPG for each tank. I have towed with these 7.3's with tires aired up, and using an additive and have got over 18 MPG while towing!! Fully loaded and immaculately clean from top to bottom. No surprises or disappointments with this truck. The Burgundy Wine PPG Clearcoat paint shines like new and has been waxed regularly (you can literally shave in it) and always garaged. As stated above there is 3 coats of base and 4 coats of clear that have been color sanded and buffed to perfection. No fading or thin spots anywhere. It is drop dead gorgeous. Much more durable and deep looking than today's water base factory paints. Look at the reflections (hard to photograph with the glare from the reflections, so I took some pictures in the sun, and some in the shade). Never been put on a lift incorrectly, never been bottomed out. Engine box, wheels, underside, and interior also kept clean and detailed. It looks like it was toothbrush detailed since new. Look at the underside and frame rails. Many original markings and stickers still visible on underside. Never a bent body panel, floor pan, or frame rail and never any body damage. New Ford Carlite tinted privacy windshield with no cracks or chips. All other glass is tinted with 3M medium titanium tint. No dents, dings, or scrapes anywhere on the body. The only flaws I can even think of, most would never even notice...there are a few spots through out where there were very small minor chips from the past 7500 miles of use since full restoration that have been touched up with touch up paint and compounded (very few, less than 3, I will give buyer extra touch up paint too), there is a burnt out light in one of the interior panels on driver's side rear upper panel, and I backed into a post at a gas station before back up cam was installed and slightly creased the passenger's side lower corner where bumper pushed into bottom of silver area. I replaced the rear bumper with a new Ford OEM original and didn't feel the silver area was really noticeable enough to justify taking van back to the paint shop to repair. The Bushwacker flares rubber trim between the body and the flares is disintegrating. It is easy enough to replace the rubbers, I just never did it. It is less than $20 for the new trims to go on them. There is nothing else I can think of that this van needs or any thing else to really consider a flaw....no scratches, scrapes,or dents anywhere on the body that I can find or see. Front and rear bumpers are immaculate with no scuffs, dents, peeling chrome, or scrapes. You rarely will see an interior this plush in an american vehicle. Again, I am VERY picky (I am told the pickiest person that all of my friends know) and believe in being 100% honest about each and any flaw or issue I can find. I know myself, that I want to know everything about something I am buying before I buy it, so I treat others in the same manner and respect. This van looks and drives like a 20K mile, 2 year old, well taken care of vehicle to put it into perspective. The van is nicer, drives much better, and way better maintained and kept detailed over any other 7.3 4X4 E350 van out there. Everything works like it should and properly. Again, please take the time to look at the 300+ detailed pictures. This is very clean throughout and a thrill to drive. The upgraded 50hp injectors, 4" Diamond Eye exhaust, and on the fly PHP tuners make this more powerful than any new diesel and better gas mileage than a Transit Connect! More reliable and durable than all the new diesels out there with out all the maintenance nightmares of the new ones. It has power to spare and is tight, quiet, and comfortable. Google the 7.3 Powerstroke and you will see that they are considered the BEST diesel ever put in a truck! I know these 7.3's exceptionally well as I have owned and worked on quite a few over the years. I have a Ford Certified Diesel Master Tech that does work for me that knows these engines like the back of his hand. Look at the others out there for sale, they don't compare to this one at all. NOT at all.......You get what you pay for. Ask questions if you have them if you are serious, I am very easy to deal with, and am happy to talk on the phone about this impeccable van from top to bottom. I am very easy to deal with and very passionate about these 7.3's as you can probably tell by now if you are still reading!! Van is available for inspection and can be driven or shipped anywhere. Out of country buyers welcome too, if you arrange shipping from the Long Beach Port. I can have the truck delivered to the Long Beach Port, included with BUY IT NOW. Clear Montana title in hand. Why Montana? I have a cabin there and vehicles over 11 years old can get permanent plates in MT. I do need to keep the plates to send back in when truck sells. Van has never been to Montana, I just mailed the paperwork there. I have used several reputable shipping companies that are insured and bonded over the years with no issues, and will be happy to arrange for a serious buyer with BUY IT NOW at your expense (you pay your 1/2 to shipping company when truck arrives), or you can fly in and drive it home and enjoy a little vacation. As explained before, I will pay half of either anywhere in the lower 48 states. In my experience shipping ranges from $250-1200 to any of the lower 48 states. Don't wait, once this beauty is scooped up, it is gone and you will never find another like it!! I am very familiar with the 7.3 Powerstroke market. I am confident this van will sell fast at this price. I have watched each and every 7.3 4X4 that has sold in the past 10 years on ebay. This surpasses every one of them. They rarely pop up. Every time someone uses BUY IT NOW when not even talking to me first, I ask them what prompted them to do so? The answer is usually " your long, detailed description (small novel), and all the underside shots!" I want people to know exactly what the are getting, so I spend the time to describe everything I can think of to eliminate any unsure-ness. I have never had a person purchase a vehicle from me sight unseen that has not been more than happy with their purchase. My 11 year, 100% positive feedback given to me by others that have purchased from me over the years reflects other people's buying experiences with me on eBay. I go over these trucks from top to bottom, so you don't have to do a thing when you get it, unlike the others for sale that you will surely need to spend money on immediately. Pay a little more with me and get a no hassle vehicle. If you have a question or any doubt, feel free to message me with your phone # and I will call you myself, even on a weekend or evening.... Any questions, please message me and I will respondpromptly. This is a like to sell, not a must sell, or a desperation sale!! I price things fairly and on a Buy It Now, so there is no haggling back and forth or dealing with bidders that don't pay. In the past, I would do bid auctions which would end up getting bid higher than I may have wanted or expected, but sometimes end up getting people that were not serious that ended up not paying or following through, this is why I do Buy It Now auctions now. I have 30+ high end vehicles in my collection. Most are $100K+ in my collection. If I can make some extra space in my warehouses, great, if not, I will keep it as I do love the van and the way it runs and drives and know I will never find another like it again and don't have the time, space, or energy to build another like this. I did a Buy It Now, so you don't have to bid an and wait, and hope to get it. I get people all the time that email me after they missed something I have listed to let me know if the deal falls through...they will buy....Outright price for my van is $69,900 if Buy It Now is used, and I know it will sell for this. Don't wait for someone else to use Buy It Now and miss it!! No taxes collected by me or any document fees like others charge. I choose to do Buy It Now, fixed price auctions over regular bid auctions because many people put on their watch list, then forget to bid at the last minute, then are upset that they missed it. Don't miss this one, you will never find another like it and don't go spending $87K + for a new truck that you will hate with in a month, or settle for a gas powered truck, SUV, or van!! Again, I am VERY picky and went over everything. This van is well sorted and has been driven 7500 miles since completion with zero issues. Deposit of $500 must be made immediately thru Paypal upon the use of BUY IT NOW and remaining balance due with in 3 days of winning auction. Any questions and/or inspections if wanted must be made BEFORE using BUY IT NOW. Please do not use Buy It Now unless you already have the money. If you need a loan, have it set up and approved first. You are welcome and encouraged to come and inspect the van or send someone to look at it before buying. I am not a dealer, so no sales tax will be collected by me. Van is sold as is with no warranty by me expressed or implied and no provisions will be made for anything deemed not accurate. I do my best to describe everything to the best of my ability. 1/2 the shipping must be paid by the buyer from Palm Springs, CA 92262 when van arrives or you are welcome to fly into Palm Springs International Airport and I will pick you up, and you can drive the beauty home and I will pay for 1/2 your coach plane ticket from anywhere in the lower 48 states. Must be paid for in full with in 3 days, unless arrangements are made with me before using Buy It Now . I have clear title in hand. Truck will not leave and title will not be sent until truck is paid in full (and cleared) with either cash upon pick-up, direct deposit, loan check, or cashier's check/money order. Feel free to ask any questions and I will answer promptly. I have never had a person purchase a vehicle from me sight unseen that was not thrilled with their purchase!! I reserve the right to end this auction early as the truck is advertised on several other sites and publications, so if you want it, use BUY IT NOW before someone else buys it!! If you can not meet these simple requirements, please do not use Buy It Now and waste your time, mine, and others that are serious. If you need more time or have questions about payment, please feel free to message me with your phone # and we can discuss. I am VERY picky with vehicles I choose to deal with. Again, I have 30+ vehicles and none are a must sell, just trying to free up some space as I can barely walk in my warehouses they are so full and I need to downsize by selling a few of my vehicles. I am not interested in magazine coverage, picture collectors, or time wasters that just want to come and look at my collection. I am not losing any of my houses, or desperate in any way. In summary (finally, if you are still reading): EVERYTHING works!! No burnt out bulbs anywhere (except for one side interior roof panel bulb already explained), the back-up lights, dash lights, mood lights, etc all work properly. I have 3 keys and both remotes with no worn buttons. This E-350 Sherrod 4X4 runs and drives excellent and has never been abused. There are no odd odors, odd rattles, or odd noises. You can drive this gem anywhere. Mileage may also varyminimallyas van may be driven for test drives and/or inspections, but of course still kept indoors when not being driven. Please feel free to ask questions and I will answer promptly. This is not your average $50K or less 7.3 4X4 Powerstroke van that was built by Quigley that you can find that needs $20K+ worth of work and still won't be as nice as this one. Why buy someone else's problems? You could not build a van like this one for what I am selling this one for even if you already had the base 2wd van to start with! Viton seals, transmission, interior, and suspension already refreshed and upgraded, tires near new, all fluids and filters new, batteries, wiper blades, etc etc...van doesn't need a thing. This beauty is a no excuse, honest van, that needs nothing. It will only continue to go up in value if kept in this condition, unlike a new truck/van/SUV that starts going down in value the minute you drive it off the lot. Vehicles such as this from my experience are a much more solid investment than the stock market. Clean 7.3 Powerstrokes have been going UP in value due to all the terrible (and expensive!!) new diesels and SUV's out there now. The nice ones have gone up 60-70% in the last year. Diesel fuel is less cost that regular gas too in most states. People consider the 7.3 Powerstroke to be the best diesel ever installed in a truck in the history of diesel trucks, and we will never see another diesel like the 7.3 Powerstroke!! Oil in this truck has been changed frequently (both upper and lower reservoirs) and the oil is clean. In 7.3's that have not been maintained, the oil will not be clean like this and never will be. The nice ones will keep going up in value when in the condition and desirability of this one. Remember, you get what you pay for, this beauty does not need ANYTHING!! The paint, color combination and upgrades are simply stunning and the options make it a pleasure to drive and it turns heads where ever you go. The upgraded turbo, injectors, exhaust, and PHP tuner gives this van amazing smoothness and efficiency and has power to spare. People stop at gas stations and make comments on how immaculate and cool this van is and think it is brand new, not a 2000!. Be the envy of your friends and neighbors!No excuses, issues, or stories with this van. Have a great day and thank you for looking and (hopefully) reading my long description..I just want to be thorough. Each time I think of something else, I revise the listing, add more pictures, and before I know it, it ends up this long!! Very few read what I end up writing, but if you have, thank you!! The first person that reads my entire listing, that has the means, is typically the buyer, so hopefully that is you. Feel free to contact me with any questions and have a great day. :) |
