1988 Ford Econoline E150 Club Wagon.

This 1988 Ford Club Wagon was aquired around 6 years ago.  When I received (Big Blue) she had a nasty exhaust leak coming from the smog pump injectors.  I had the injectors removed and the openings brazed shut, the smog pump was removed, the insides of the pump were removed, the pump housing was remounted and now acts as an idler pulley.

This is my 2nd Ford Van with the inline six cylinder motor.  These motors are bullet proof.  My first Ford Van was a 1993 cargo van.  I purchased it with 185,000 miles on it,  I drove it daily to 350,000 miles and sold it in still good running condition.  The reason I sold the 1993 was because the 1988 Ford Van that I am now selling was ready to become my new daily driver.

I put a rear locking differential on this van because I drive some pretty serious hills in the winter.  I mounted studded tires in the rear and she claws her way thru the snow like nobody's business.  The van originally came from Maryland, she had very little rust when I got her, she spent the next 5 years in a covered garage just sitting, waiting to be put into the lineup.  The first winter she saw with salt was this past winter, I had the undercarriage sprayed using Carwell in Buffalo.  Carwell is a GREAT product, they spray all the local school busses, FedEx & UPS trucks, they also spray military vehicles to protect them from rusting.

I drove this van to Idaho and back last summer 2012.  She never missed a beat until the return trip in Indiana.  I had to replace the fuel pump on the frame rail.  I replaced it and the fuel filter and she was back on the road in no time.  She purrs like a kitten every day, never misses a start, one quick turn of the key and she is ready to roll.

This van is a great daily driving van, the only reason I am selling it is because I bought another Ford Van.

I equipped "Big Blue" with Bilstein Shock absorbers at all four corners, Bilstein shocks for these vans cost $100.00 per shock, they are worth it, they provide a very predictable, comfortable, safe ride.  I also installed a K&N rechargeable air filter.

I am selling this van with all the tires and rims I have for it.  You'll get 4 Mastercraft Courser A/T 235/75/15 tires, 2 MasterCraft Courser A/T 205/75/15 Studded Tires, 1 Michelin LTX 235/75/15 Tire.  5 stock Ford steel rims 15"X6.5", 2 black wagon wheel rims 15"X6.5", 2 black wagon wheel rims 15"X8".  I run the black wagon wheels in the summer with 4 Kumho Road Venture 235/75/15 tires.  That is a total of 11 tires with 9 rims... plus 5 genuine Ford Econoline series hub caps.

This van has two high back captains chairs with armrest's up front, there are 2 bench seats in back, I am also including 2 low back bucket seats which were originally up front.

This van makes a great camping vehicle as I used it on my trip out west last summer, it also is a great work van when you remove the bench seats.  This is truly a Multi Purpose Vehicle.

Gas mileage is 15MPG  in the city 17-18MPG on the highway.  She'll cruise all day long at 65-70 mph, uphills she'll get down to 55mph, steep uphills 45 mph, downhills 75-80 mph, I don't push her harder than that.

I use full synthetic motor oil 5w-30 wt. Penzoil Ultra with a K&N filter.  I also have a FilterMag attached to the oil filter for added protection.  I have put alot of expense into getting this van road worthy, it was a labor of love that somebody else can now enjoy.

I installed a new JVC KDX40 head unit last summer along with 4 new Polk Audio speakers, the system sounds great!

These motors run forever, the transmission had a shift kit installed before I got the van, all shifts are firm and authoritive, no slip, no slop.

I had new front springs installed last fall, the old ones were sagging a bit, these really tightened the front end up nicely, if I was keeping the van I would have the camber adjusted, it's a bit positive with the new springs.

I installed all new brakes and replaced some worn brake lines last summer, I also repacked the wheel bearings at that time.

The van burns no oil, drips no fluids.   

She's not a barn burner, however, she'll get you there safely and in comfort.

Any questions feel free to call me, this van is for sale locally, so bidding can end at any time.
