Up for auction is a 2002 Ford E-350 Econoline one ton utility unicell box van. It could also be called a cut away van too. It is a very unique truck that will be an exceptional value for someone. As you will see below the truck actually has two extremely secure temperature controlled compartments inside. The box is made by Unicell Aerocell and is a leak-proof single piece fiberglass body without any seems. The truck is also for sale locally and could be sold before the auction ends.
It has the bulletproof Trion 5.4 liter V8 engine matched with an automatic overdrive transmission. This engine is superior to the diesel which was offered this year. The truck only has 143,5xx miles on it. The truck has a great features like a stereo system, ICE cold air conditioning and dual 12v interior charging ports. It also has rear control switches on the dashboard for easy use along with extra wide mirrors on both driver and passenger side.
The truck was purchased brand new from Latham Ford in New York and was owned by the state its whole life. I am the second owner and this truck and know it was meticulously maintained. The state used PHH Arval (now Element Fleet Management) to keep up on all of the truck"s needs. The paperwork inside the truck stated it passed its last emissions test, too. The pictures show the exact condition of the tires and this truck has dually rear tires for higher payload capacity.
The rear rolling door is solid, has good spring with rust free cables and works great. It is made by Whiting quality door, manufactured in Akron New York. It even has an audible alarm on it that will alert the driver is it is open even one inch. The door also has an interior deadbolt for increased security.
The rear is divided into two separate compartments. The one behind the driver"s seat measures about 80 inches long x 90 inches wide x 78 inches high. The rear compartment next to the back roller door measures about 86 inches long x 90 inches wide x 78 inches high. The interior dimensions of the shelves are 26 inches wide by 70 inches long. Again this is the inside area of the shelf. The floor is a solid piece of aluminum diamond plate throughout the box. The interior doors are solid, heavy and the middle compartment would make a great place to secure tools and valuables.
What makes this truck very interesting is the fact that the box has its own separate electrical air conditioning and heating system. The unit was made in Canada (not China) by Mobile Climate Control (MCC.) The heating system will put out 40,000 btu an hour while on the cooling side will produce 27,300 btu an hour (cfms) with a 17 amp draw. It will drain the excess water (condensate) underneath the truck just like the regular air conditioning. The box has its own lighting and ceiling fans much like an RV would have. I am not skilled on the rear systems of this van and have not tested or used them as I would not want to accidently damage them.
The truck has signs of use, wear, and some cosmetic issues with its age. The fiberglass body has a crack on the lower passenger side. Both the driver and passenger door rockers have bad rust underneath them. The driver"s bottom cushion also has bad wear around the corner closer to the steering wheel. I think the truck is in great shape, it runs on the highway without any problems, has a great drivetrain, and the box is really unique.
The interior box doors are solid, heavy, and could not just be kicked in. The shelves are solid and made by a professional tradesmen. Ford trucks with this motor are known for their dependability, reliability, and long life. I know whoever buys this will feel the same way about it I do. Thank you for looking.

I normally ship USPS however due to different situations (postal lines, location, etc) UPS is used at times.
LOCAL PICK UP ITEMS: Local pick up items are available for pick up at the location listed in the auction. I have sold several items and always have had a great time meeting fellow eBay users. Several times people have wanted items listed for local pick up shipped to them. To accommodate this request, I delivered the item to the local UPS store which the seller called in to make the shipping arraignments and payment. I do not mind doing this, however please let me know ahead of time so I can plan to accommodate this. I also do not mind not having a immediate paypal and accepting cash at the time of sale, as many buyers have preferred to do that. Whatever the buyer is comfortable with is fine with me.

Feedback is very important to all of us, as it allows us to keep the bad apples out of eBay for both buyer and seller. Not only do I sell on eBay but I buy quite a bit, too.

There is always a common ground solution that can be reached.

I do appreciate if you bid as an international buyer you send me a message beforehand. This allows me to get an estimate on shipping and it shows me you are a real interested buyer.

If a listed item is not available internationally (usually due to weight), please contact me prior to bidding so that we can look at shipping costs and reach an agreement prior to purchase.
