You are looking at a Super Rare 1965 Ford Econoline Spring Special Pickup Truck.

I know people throw that term around a lot with these trucks and for good reason.

Let us count the reasons:

1. Ford Econoline (you don’t see a lot of them anymore)

2. Pickup (you see even fewer of them)

3. Spring Special (only 2000-2500 reportedly made from May 1 through July 20 of 1965) with the standard color being Special Poppy Red Paint

4. This one was ordered with (# 8, Springtime Yellow Paint)

Only four are known to exist.

Got to think the original purchaser thought that through, Springtime Special with Springtime Yellow paint, yea!!

Truck is a ways from being all that it should be, unfortunately, I have just run out of time to dedicate to it the love that it needs.

Truck runs and drives, but has a charging issue, so NO it can not be driven across country, or up or down the coast. It will need to be trailer-ed.

Body is in good condition with no “major” rust conditions as many of these trucks have. Has the usual surface on the floor boards, and in bed, absolutely no rust through anywhere (please see pictures).

There are a few areas that were being worked on when I bought this beauty, using the old school, drill a hole dent puller. Those are on the front driver’s side nose, front passengers door and nose is a little wavy with some of those pulling holes (please see pictures).

There are a few dings and dents, nicks and scrapes and occasional random hole here and there. Roof is dented and there is a decent dent under the rear window (please see pictures).

Motor has been rebuilt; no I don’t have the paperwork to prove it unfortunately. It’s a 200, an upgrade from the original 170 as it has 5 freeze plugs on the side.

Windshield wipers not shown, but will be included.

Tailgate is in good condition, with the usual dings and dents for a nearly 50 year old tailgate, but the corners and bottom are good with no rust through. I do not have the hinges or prop rods for the tailgate unfortunately.

Seats and dog house are not bolted in from when I was working on the charging issue.

Back in the day the entire under carriage was sprayed with an under coating that is now flaking off leaving the under carriage almost like new. Every time I hit it with a pressure washer, a little more flakes off (please see pictures).

Windshield is cracked (a new windshield will be included)

Radio not installed, but will be included with purchase.

Steering wheel could stand to be replaced.

Front doors window weather stripping has been removed, (but a new kit will be included).

 No Spring Special Trim included, sorry. I know, that’s kind of a bummer.
