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!
If you have fewer than ten ebay transactions or less that 100% feedback, please email me before bidding! I appreciate your interest, but I have no interest in games.
NO MONEY, NO BID, PLEASE!!!

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building
Wed, 31 Oct 2012After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
Ford Fiesta rally car warms up in Sweden
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Rallycross is seeing a sudden surge in popularity with two series bringing the racing to the US and Europe. The Ford OMSE team is competing in both championships this season, and it saw no reason not to hold practice with a highly modified Fiesta in the snow of Northern Sweden. It brought together Andreas Bakkerud from the European-focused FIA World Rallycross Championship and Patrik Sandell from the North American-focused Global Rallycross series for some training and fun. They certainly appear to be enjoying themselves, too, with some lovely pirouettes in the powder.
If you're unfamiliar with rallycross, the discipline combines the best of rallying and circuit racing. Drivers (with no co-drivers) race rally cars over a circuit that generally mixes dirt and asphalt, and unlike traditional rallying, multiple cars compete side-by-side at once. Even better, it's often a very two-fisted form of motorsports with lots of car-to-car contact. Global Rallycross and World Rallycross will both kick off their seasons in May. With spring on the way, scroll down to watch the Fiesta kick up some of the last snow drifts of the year.
