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 reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle
Fri, Dec 18 2015Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:
Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
