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!

Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation
Sat, May 2 2015Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."

Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII
Fri, 17 May 2013Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.
2015 Ford Expedition stays the course, adds EcoBoost power
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The era of the body-on-frame, fullsize SUV is rapidly vanishing in favor of smaller, unibody crossovers. However, Ford still sees life in the segment with the reveal of the updated 2015 Expedition, now available (solely) with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The new truck will make its public debut at the 2014 DFW Auto Show in Dallas on February 19.
The loss of the previous 5.4-liter V8 in favor of Ford's 3.5-liter, direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V6 engine might rankle some of the Expedition's fans, but Ford claims that the change gives the SUV better fuel economy, more power and increased low-end torque than before. Unfortunately, official engine specifications won't be released until later this year, but Ford says engine output will be similar to the 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque that this powerplant produces in other applications. The EcoBoost is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the SUV now uses electrically assisted power steering, for an even greater fuel economy advantage. Ford claims this also allows for better maneuverability at low speeds and better feel at high speeds.
Exterior styling is basically unchanged for 2015. The front end has the same three-bar chrome grille and headlight design, but the lower air dam gets added chrome and LED lamps. The rear gets more brightwork on the hatch, and there's a chrome-tipped exhaust pipe. As before, Ford is offering the Expedition in two wheelbase lengths - 119 inches and 131 inches. A new, optional, continuously controlled damping system alters suspension settings constantly based on 46 parameters and offers comfort, normal and sport modes (just like the Expedition's sister, the recently refreshed and decidedly less-attractive Lincoln Navigator).
