You're looking at an original 1969 Ford Econoline 200 Supervan Coachman Conversion type-B camper. This is a beautiful machine that wears authentic California coast patina of its original blue paint. You can't fake this look! The old girl has aged gracefully, maintaining the integrity of the metal with only surface rusting in areas of the body as shown in the pictures. The body panels are straight and show no sign of any past body work. You will notice the only two significant dents in the pictures: one on the hood, and one near the rear passenger-side taillight. I wouldn't touch the look of this Supervan in the slightest bit, but of course- that is up to you:)
The van is solid with no structural rusting or holes anywhere. It has the original low-mileage 302 V8 with the "three on the tree" manual transmission. The van starts right up and drives down the road well. The brakes, suspension, transmission, and clutch were all recently inspected and operate as intended. I wouldn't hesitate to drive the old girl across the country! In fact, I'll drive it to the new owner for a small fee (please contact me BEFORE you bid if you'd like me to do this).
The interior is in decent original shape. The seats show the wear and tear of 45 years of age with rips and such, but are just fine for sitting on for road tripping. The driver's side is covered with a fur cover that does its job. The carpet in the rear area is in very clean condition (see pictures). I have never used the coach features (sink, stove, oven, etc) and so cannot speak to their condition. It all looks good and functional, but I would have the propane lines and tank pressure tested and the water tank inspected before attempting to use them.
The glass is all intact with only minor chipping in a couple spots on the windshield. The tires are decent, but show some weather checking from age. The exhaust is a bit loud and may have a leak somewhere or may simply need a new muffler. It isn't obnoxious or anything, just a bit louder than it should be. The steering is manual and therefore stiff, but the van is easy to handle on the road.
I have an application for California title signed and ready to transfer to the new owner. This is an easy process in California, but may be more difficult in other states (please do your own research). Unfortunately, the registered owner of this fine vehicle has past away, so no other documentation can be filled out by him. Before his death he filled out and signed an application for California title (lost title) form. This is what the new owner will receive. If you are an out of state buyer and would like a clear California title I can accommodate, but at the expense of some time and money (about $350 and two weeks to do this). If you would require this service, please contact me BEFORE you bid.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update
Fri, May 19 2017Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android
2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.
The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.
