2001 Ford E150 Custom Lifted Wheelchair Van CLEAN title. NO Accidents. VIN: 1FMRE11L41HA97225 Passed CA Smog on 5/01/2014, ready to go! 2001 Ford E150 Lifted Camper / Wheelchair Van VERY CLEAN top shape! Great for camping, off road, dirt biking, etc. Will sell for 500 less if I take out wheelchair lift and wheelchair restraint. If you want an awesome camper (or wheelchair) van, READ ON…. (search youtube key words “lifted 2001 ford super van” for detailed video of van in operation). CLEAN title. NO Accidents. Original owner. VIN: 1FMRE11L41HA97225 Passed CA Smog on 5/01/2014, ready to go! If you want an awesome rig to build a camping van, you could take out lift and use existing wiring for power accessories/customization/compressor/TV, XBOX, etc., it would be perfect. On May 16, 2014 (2 days ago, I have ALL receipts) I put 2k in front end work and tires (see list below). This van is in TOP shape, completely ready for fun! BRAND NEW Yokohama Geolander 285/70R/17 tires (all four). BRAND NEW ball joints, wheel bearings, bushings, lifetime NAPA premium breaks, rotors turned, alignment, oil change. Did it all now, buyer will not have to put any money into this van for a long time! This van is incredibly unique, one-of-a-kind. I really want to keep it and not sell it, but my wife has back problems and has a hard time getting in and out of it. I am the original owner and have taken very good care of it and (had) plans of keeping it another 10/15 years, but I know that eventually, I have to sell it. There are many used vans out there for sale that have a wheelchair lift, but this is a unique, rare find. Please see all pictures that really show the van’s history and evolution throughout the past 12 years I’ve owned it. Please read this posting and view pictures carefully, then consider your needs and then call me. I’m a busy person and unless you are serious buyer, DO NOT call me or waste my time. I want the buyer to be happy and make sure it’s the right van for your needs. Van just turned 98,500 miles. Has a Triton V-8 5.4 Liter engine, always serviced on time with Mobile 1 synthetic oil. Runs very smooth, zero leaks, very clean. All filters changed regularly on intervals, transmission service, brakes done, radiator recently flushed, tires are BRAND NEW. Mechanically, it's very sound and I would comfortably do a road trip across the country in it tomorrow without worrying about any mechanical issues. The Triton engines are great engines, and if maintained, can easily go 200- 300k miles without major work.- Google Triton engines in any Ford forums and read up on the engine. The wheelchair conversion was done right by Nor-Cal Mobility, in Chico, CA In the first few months of 2002. Middle section of the van (where wheelchair occupant rides) has lowered floor (6 inches) and measures 58 inches from floor to ceiling. Van has a bulletproof VMI series Ricon lift; I've never had ANY problems with it. Wheelchair lift accommodates wheelchair seated occupant measuring 54 inches high at lowest height entry, and the max width (wheelchair) that the lift will accommodate is 29 inches- most power chairs (base of chair) measure 24-25 inches. If you are slightly taller than 54 inches you can duck, but PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHAIR MEASUREMENTS BEFORE CONTACTING ME, it is possible to slightly duck head or adjust chair to enter van, but each person in a chair is different. Max weight per lift specs is 650 lbs. Van has EZ lock electric restraint system and multiple options for manual tie-downs if necessary. After backing into EZ lock, wheelchair occupant can turn around almost 360 degrees, and ride securely facing any direction. If necessary, moving the EZ lock closer to front is possible ….Van has custom front and rear AC which blows very cold and works great. Van has tinted windows all the way around and keeps it cooler. Has brand new Alpine CD-MP3 car stereo, with USB / iPod dock. Has cruise control. Has really nice strong custom steel plate on the floor in the lowered section for wheelchair. Van has two brand-new custom leather captain’s chairs (see pic of chairs) in front that are electric (driver’s side). Driver-side raises and has many articulation points, including electric lumbar support. Front passenger seat is stationary. Seats are very comfortable and were put in November 2013 and cost $1500 new. Rear back bench seats three adults comfortably but can be easily taken out if necessary for hauling stuff. If desired, another captains chair or a few jump seats could be added behind the bench, there is ample room. I've hauled everything from a washer/dryer combo to a new dirt bike. This van is not set up for a wheelchair user to drive, (I have always been the passenger and do not have enough range of motion to drive) but van could be changed to do so with some modification, if the driver isn’t too tall in his/her wheelchair. I had the van lifted about two years ago, as I wanted to be able to go to scout camp with my son. I was told the van wouldn't make it up the road, so, it was a great excuse to lift it, something I always wanted to do anyway. To be clear, the van is not 4x4, but lifted and very capable of going many places. It has a 6 inch lift kit, made by J- Flames customs (one of the only places that lifts vans - see link below) and new 17 inch wheels with 33 inch Yokohama tires. When it was originally converted back in 2002, a 2 inch body lift was put on the van, so it's actually lifted overall about 8-9 inches higher than a stock E-150. No changes were needed or made to the gearing or differential, it has A LOT of power, and drives excellent at normal RPM. It has dual exhaust, (Flowmasters) with chrome tips out the back that were also installed about two years ago when it was lifted (which I believe gives it more power and theoretically saves gas) and sounds really throaty and nice (this isn’t a wimpy van). It’s overall height is 7’4, (88 inches) yet I haven’t encountered a drive through or parking garage I didn’t comfortably enter. Has new CARR brand aluminum steps for easy step up entry that are very strong. Since it's been lifted, we have driven from Sacramento, CA area to Montana, Idaho, Utah, San Diego, Las Vegas, etc. and put about 12,000 miles on it after the lift, so it's very solid. I had cross member welded, reinforced with ¾ inch steel, rock solid. I live exactly 1 mile away from where I work, so I just roll in my chair to and from work and it has only been used for trips, weekends, etc. it's pretty low mileage for a 2001 vehicle and they are mostly freeway miles. It has never been in an accident, and it has never done any crazy off-roading. Van has never pulled a trailer, and has no hitch, but could easily pull a trailer per F150 / E150 weight guidelines, around 5,000 lbs. Van has a brand new heavy duty truck type battery to support use of lift. (March 2014 and warranty is good for 3 years) A year ago, I purchased a Reunel (world renowned, check the website below) off-road custom bumper on the front, mounted to the frame. The bumper cost $1800, and besides looking really awesome, it is incredibly strong and beefy; essentially, an added insurance policy on the van. I have a lot of money in the van and I wanted to protect it. The rear bumper is reinforced and has an aftermarket quarter inch steel plate between it and the mounting brackets. Any collisions that might occur from the back, or front, this van will definitely “win”. Any occupants riding in this van are as safe as can be. The van rides very smoothly, when it was lifted the shocks and springs installed were converted to E-250, specs and suspension is solid. Because the mid section where the wheelchair goes is lowered 6 inches, the weight of a wheelchair (I weigh 550 in my wheelchair) and center of gravity is lower and isn't an issue being top-heavy. It corners and handles amazingly well and hums right along at 70 miles an hour (or 80 through Nevada) without any problem. It has a 22 gallon tank and averages 13-14 MPG, not bad at all for a lifted van with a V8. A Honda Odyssey or Dodge Caravan averages 22 MPG. This van would be perfect transportation for a wheelchair passenger with larger family and friends who is active and would also be a perfect van for someone that needs to haul motorcycles, ATV, camping, etc. (I will remove wheelchair lift/restraints for anyone not wanting them and drop price $500). This van isn’t the right solution for running grandma to medical appointments (my opinion). While a lot more expensive, a converted, folding ramp minivan conversion would be your best bet. You really have to ask yourself, is it right for my situation….? This van won’t bottom out, ever. Flood insurance? A lifted wheelchair van is REALLY hard to find. Another thing you might want to consider when looking at this, or any converted vehicle: As of April, 2014, the bluebook value of a regular 2002 Ford Econoline van is 4,992.00. New, in 2002, this van, plus the wheelchair conversion was $46,000. The conversion added to the price of the van was an additional $24,000. Kelley Blue Book doesn’t take this into consideration. What is it worth to you? The wheelchair conversion, passenger capacity, custom bumper, new seats, custom wheels, exhaust, and 8 in custom lift on this van adds a lot to what it’s worth and really has to be taken into consideration. If purchased brand new with all these options, you would easily pay $65,000 for a comparable van, (Google Quigley custom van conversions) Obviously, I am a huge Superman fan, and we get comments everywhere I go. It is truly a fun, unique rig. If Superman is not your thing, you could easily remove the vinyl rally stripes (but if you want to keep them, they should last a long time- I had it done at a vehicle wrap place) and the custom “S” from the billet grill could be taken off (but- why?). Like I mentioned, I had planned on keeping it another 10 to 15 years, but my wife's back can't take climbing in and out of it. I realize it will take the right buyer, and I am confident I will find someone. If you are in the market for a reliable, used, unique, awesome wheelchair / camper accessible van with all these options, you won’t find another one like it in this price range... It has a few cosmetic things on it, but nothing major. I am a person of high integrity and I am forthright with everything in the description of this van. Purchasing a wheelchair accessible vehicle merits a lot of consideration. If you have any questions, please feel free to look at all the detailed pictures and ONLY if you are serious, and can pay cash, send me an email or call.
