i have a 2000 ford e150 van with drop floor, ricon lift and raised roof
with 59,000 miles.
it has over $50,000 worth of EMC driving controls(gas/brake,
digi-steering, digi-tone, gold pad, & voice activation)
it is setup for c5/6 to drive from wheelchair with ezlock but an able
body person can drive it by switching a few buttons.
i am putting it up for sale in next few weeks. i would really like to
sell it to a quad who does not have the $80,000+ that a new one cost.
i've not set price but it will be less than $14,000(that's 85% off total
cost) or b.o.

nervous trying to navigate turns with that monster -lol . After that
we got a 1995 chevy astro mini van with a raised roof and rear lift,
that we have had for 9 years, it is still going so far...The price of
new modified vans are unbelievable----a person has to win a lottery or
be rich to buy one. Dan H.*

I was paralyzed in 98 and started driving about 2000 after alot of
effort and help from a few others. My dad found a 84 Ford econoline
van in a barn for $1500.00 bucks and we bought it. It had a dropped
floor, old transfer seat and a set of rusted hand controls in the
back. I got the state to install a new transfer seat, new monarch hand
controls and a crescent remote system to operate the lift and power
doors. I taught myself to drive it and rolled with it for four years,
then on the way to the movies the oil light came on. The oil pump in
the engine went out and it was to much to fix, so after pulling
everything usable off of it we donated it to the blind.

I had a power pan that lowered me down 5" in a 1980 Ford E 250 van but
t also had a raised roof because I sat so tall in my chair. That was
my first van. That thing weighed 2 TONS! It was a monster and ate gas
lie it was going out of style. Bobbie

I have a power pan instead of lowered floor. It takes me down about 5
in. It is in my 1979 E -150 that I bought new back in '79. I don't
remember them doing lowered floors back in those days.

I'm just curious if anybody in the group drives a full size van from
their wheelchair and does NOT have a lowered floor or raised top.
If anyone does, I would like to know the make and model.
I recall somebody talking about it a few years back.
Thank you!
