For auction is a 1969 unmolested Ford Econoline E-300 Super Van. 302 V-8, 2BBL Automatic transmission (C-4) Dana rear axle. 8 lug wheels/16.5" (1 Ton)
I purchased this vehicle from the family of its original owner after his passing. It had been sitting in the California high desert since 1991. I had it towed back to LA and spent more that $1500 in parts alone (my labor was free) restoring the mechanics of the vehicle. By restoring, I did not recondition any of the drivetrain. Engine, trans, differential perform perfectly. I did, however replace the following parts (and others that I have likely forgotten) These parts have about 5000 miles service on them.
All fluids and filters (eng and trans)
Master Cylinder
All Wheel Cylinders
Water Pump
Fuel Pump/Fuel Filter and added two inline filters
Removed Fuel tank and cleaned
Removed radiator and cleaned (professionally)
Thermostat/Hoses and Belts
Wheel Bearings and seals
Brake shoes (LF brake hose and LR brake drum)
Brake Hardware
Alternator
Starter
Battery
New tires
There is no rust on this vehicle except light surface rust that grows over paint chips, WITH ONE EXCEPTION. I removed the (homemade) spare tire carrier to find a little rust on the right rear door. I sprayed some rattle can paint over the rust and left it until later. That time never came.
Here's the deal: I own a motorcycle shop in LA County, and I purchased the vehicle to use for the shop, and because I thought the van was super cool! I hardly ever use it for anything other than to pick up small parts, and for that a more economical vehicle works just fine. I took it camping one time, and it was a lot of fun. I just don't have enough space to store it for novelty purposes any longer, and insurance and registration costs make it impractical.
I have many more pictures that I can email you, if desired. I have a few pictures of the van before mechanical restoration and a few pics of the new parts as they were being installed.
I included more ugly pics than pretty ones. I want the buyer to know of all dents and paint condition, above all!
As you can tell from the pictures, the original color was industrial white, but the exterior was changed to a baby blue. They did not bother to repaint the door jams.
If you have ever wanted a cool example of a tough old van that will do just about anything and haul just about anything, this would be a nice choice. It is ready to go, and a little TLC to the interior would make it really sweet!
Thank you for looking, and happy bidding.
Please email me first with any questions before bidding!

Do you guys like trucks?
Wed, Jan 17 2018Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

Ford To Unveil Solar Hybrid Concept Car At CES
Thu, Jan 2 2014Ford plans to unveil at this month's International CES gadget show a solar-powered concept car that offers the same performance as a plug-in hybrid but without the need for a plug. The C-Max Solar Energi Concept car uses a gasoline engine combined with a gizmo that acts like a magnifying glass to concentrate the sun's rays on the vehicle's roof-mounted solar panels. The automaker says the vehicle's estimated combined city-highway mileage is 100 miles (160 kilometers) per gallon. The U.S. auto maker says that by using solar power instead of an electric plug, a typical owner will reduce their annual greenhouse gas emissions by four metric tons. The company says it sold about 85,000 hybrid or electric vehicles in 2013, including 6,300 units of its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid. The sun-ray concentrator was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and uses what is known as a Fresnel lens, which concentrates light but can be made thinner than a conventional lens. A full day of sunshine is equivalent to a four-hour battery charge, or 8 kilowatts, Ford says. On a full charge, it should have a range of 620 miles (997 kilometers), the same as the C-Max Energi. The concept car also comes with a plug-in port for standard electric charging. Ford says that 75 percent of all trips made by an average driver could be powered by the sun. After showing off the concept car at the convention in Las Vegas Jan. 7-10, Ford Motor Co. says that it will test the vehicle with institute researchers to determine if it's feasible for mass production.

Ford Focus refresh shots leak ahead of Geneva
Sun, 23 Feb 2014In case you haven't been paying attention, Ford has been gradually redesigning its lineup to sport a familiar face. The Aston Martin-inspired grille shape debuted on the Fusion and was soon applied to the Fiesta. Even the front end of the new Mustang takes its cues from the same, and we're sure other models will soon be made-over to fall in line. The next on the docket? The Focus.
Set to be unveiled in little over a week at the Geneva Motor Show, the revised Focus has leaked out a tad early, revealing a mild facelift that bears that same trapezoidal grille with horizontal slats. Along with the new grille, the headlights, lower fascia and hood appear to have been reshaped. Around back there appears to be a new rear bumper and taillights, but otherwise the shape remains largely the same as the current model.
Expect the updates to be applied to all bodystyles offered around the world, including the hatchback, wagon and sedan. The engine lineup is expected to carry over largely unchanged, though the plug-in hybrid powertrain from the C-Max Energi could port over to the revised Focus. Plus Ford seems to have taken the opportunity to spruce things up in the cabin some. Check it out in the image gallery above and watch this space for the official announcement as we pack our bags for Switzerland.
