Ron,
This is an amazing idea … no brainer but no one but you mentioned
it. I don't have the tech knowledge but hopefully somebody here dose.

What we need on this list is a place to put things like vans,
wheelchairs, equipment and such up for sale, trade or give away. Every
person that uses a wheelchair has a bunch of handicapped equipment in
their way they dont use anymore or something they need but buying new
is to costly. Im not smart enough to add such a thing to the lidst but
maybe someone on here is??

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.

I have not driven since my accident......but I bought my 1st van for

had an old side crow river lift, that thing was a huge 8 passenger
dodge extended length van, it got us by a few years..my wife made me
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!
