Here's a used older style 1972 Ford Econoline Super Van that I'm selling for my son who is moving up north and can't take it with him. He bought it about 5 years and 10,000 miles ago and used it mainly to haul his motorcycles.
Here's what I know about it after talking to him and if you have any questions I can contact him to get you the answers.
It has a good running Ford 302 V-8 engine with a re-manufactured Motorcraft 2 barrel carburetor and HEI distributor & new spark plugs with plug wires. A lot of work was done 3 years ago to make it roadworthy and here's his list of what was done:
- The automatic transmission was completely rebuilt
- The brakes were done front & rear
- The cooling system was gone through including a new 3 core radiator, water pump, belts and hoses
Recently he replaced all the tires with 700x15 and it has some 'old school' Western aluminum rims on it. The battery, ignition switch, alternator,starter solenoid, and U-joints have also been replaced in the past few months.
The engine has headers installed with dual Thrush mufflers and downdraft shorty tailpipes at the rear near the rear wheel. It has a nice mellow but throaty sound.
Here's a couple things that I noticed since taking possession of it: There is no radio, heater, or wipers. The inside has some old carpeting on the floorboards front & rear. The doghouse is missing some bolts that hold it to the floor. The steering wanders and probably needs some bushings but I haven't had it checked by a mechanic. The driver's side door was changed by the previous owner and there is no key for that door and all the others are lockable with a key that I have. The right rear fender is damaged and there is a scrape in the side door. Also, a small area of rust at the bottom of the passenger door. Lastly, the seats need to be re-upholstered as shown in the photos.
It has a trailer hitch and wiring at the taillights and a locking gas cap.
Look closely at the 21 photos in the listing to see the vehicle's condition.
Overall, it would be a good vehicle for a gardener, plumber, painter, handyman or anyone that needs to keep their equipment stored and locked inside. Also, it would make a good daily driver or an excellent candidate for a restoration.
It is registered until December 31, 2013 and is Smog Exempt here in California!

New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
Ford readying three-row Edge for China
Fri, Nov 21 2014The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.
Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
