I am selling my 1972 Ford Econoline E-200. Moving forces sale. This is a barn find van that I found in the mountains of Virginia last summer. The mileage is unknown. I listed what is on the odometer. This van is an unmolested, totally original as ordered van. And yes it was a special order. It is an E200 with E-300 axles and springs and 8 lug wheels. It has factory air. I was told it worked when put in storage in 1996. I am the third owner. The first owner purchased it to haul mule teams to competition. The second owners used it for flea market duty. The color blue while now faded was a special color. It is optioned out like a Chateau model on the inside, but is bare bones and void of chrome on the outside. It is a long wheelbase Super Van. It runs excellent, starts on the first try and purrs. The transmission works but hesitates when first put in gear. I am in the process of replacing the master cylinder, front wheel cylinders and front brake hoses, because while it will get up and go, it will not stop unless you use the emergency brake. Right now everything works on it except the brakes and I don't know about the air conditioner. Tires hold air but are dry rotted. Have all 4 hubcaps.All glass is good but the windshield seal will need to be replaced eventually as it leaks. Has no seats in the back. No rust on the underside except the usual light underside surface rust. One rust hole in right rear quarter.
Interior and engine photos to follow on 27 February.
This van is as factory original as you will get. Everything is in its original place. No jury rigged repairs. If you wanted to know what one looked like from the factory under the engine cover and hood, this is it. This van was purchased and stayed within 50 miles of its purchase loaction its entire life until I brought it to Yorktown. The two bright blue photos were taken after it was washed. The dark discoloration on the right rear corner was mildew.
Please ask questions before bidding. This van is sold as is, where is with no warranties expressed or implied. If you have less than ten (10) feedbacks, contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid.
On Feb-27-13 at 04:45:44 PST, seller added the following information:
This van was purchased to use as a tow vehicle for camping. Unfortunately I am moving a distance that would be cost prohibitive to ship at this time. I will be adding a photo of the stamped VIN # along with interior and engine photos later today, 27 February.
Also the roof was coated with a white paint. I believe it is mobile home roof coating. It has preserved the roof well but for some reason a particulat type of algae likes it and those are what the spots are on the roof. It is not rust, although there is some very light surface rust on the roof.
If anyone would like specific photos, let me know and I will add them during the course of the auction. If there are local buyers I am available to show the van.

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
Ford recalls 1.3 million Fusions, MKZs: Steering wheels could come off
Wed, Mar 14 2018When driving a car, the steering wheel is only expected to move in a rotational fashion, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. When it moves in some other direction, something is wrong, and when it moves the wrong way enough that it is no longer attached to the steering column, that's a really, really bad thing. And apparently, according to a recall issued by Ford, there are over 1.3 million Ford Fusions and Lincoln MKZs that are at risk of this happening. And at least two accidents and one injury have been attributed to the issue. Ford says the problem is that the steering wheel bolt that keeps the wheel attached to the column might not provide enough torque, resulting in the bolt slowly loosening and working its way off the column. The good news is that the fix is really simple. Ford will install a larger bolt with more threads along with a larger nylon patch to keep it all locked down. The fix is completely free to owners. Cars affected by the recall include 2014 to 2017 Fusions built built at the Flat Rock plant in Michigan between August 6, 2013, and February 29, 2016. Model year 2014-2018 Fusions and MKZs built at the Hermosillo factory in Mexico are also affected. So if you have one of those sedans, please get in touch with your local dealer to have the issue addressed. Related Video:
