Unique E350 Auction Find

[FrozenMerc]

Some needs to buy this other than me. If I bring it home, it will be exhibit A during my wife's murder trial. Already has an overdrive and Bank's Turbo. Setup to tow what ever you want.

People may disagree with me here, but I think that those are some of the most hideous looking things that ever had wheels and a license plate.

 

[Jesus Freak]

I've seen uglier, but there's something endearing about these things. There used to be one around town here but I haven't seen it in quite a while.

I’m not a fan of the look, but I don’t mind the concept. Doesn’t work for what I do, but still unique and cool and ugly all at the same time

As long as we're posting weird stuff, has anyone ever seen the Ford boaterhome?

No, but the stuff Ford made for south America in the 70's is pretty cool. There's like a bump side bronco and they really made some neat stuff with the dent side body.

Yup. Very cool. Gasser though.

I agree for the most part...I never spent any money on the graphics fad and fiberglass air dams and spoilers and running boards are of dubious value...just something to break when you park it or put it on a lift...

Yet...I agree with Jesus Freak...there is something endearing about having a look that only a mother can love...like maybe an AMC Pacer or Matador...I think that might have helped coin the word...'fugly'....I remember thinking...when the first FWD Taurus station wagons came out...that they would work better underwater than topside..

On another level...the badge Cabriolet...just screams that the driver has come out of the closet....

not my style...I opt for a spartan existence....

 

[Jesus Freak]

@XOLATEM , hats off to any Taurus that has survived. There's a couple wagons around town that I have to appreciate for staying alive, the aluminum head 3.0 is terrible.

As much as its 'built for towing'... i would need a manual trans and exhaust brake to complete the package.

 

[asmith]

I think they are cool. I would definitely drive it. That one is clean too. A lot of those have been let go and are falling apart. It may not be as useful as a straight up truck, or a regular van, but I still like them.

Found that above, 2004 model, but can’t be far off.

Std: 138”
Optional: 158” or 176”

So does anyone know if their wheelbase is 138 or 158”?
