1973 Ford Econoline E200 SuperVan for sale

is a rare and original 1973 Ford Pop Top Camper for     sale. Not many of these "turtle   top" campers were made, so finding one with just 29k original miles in such   amazing condition as this one is a real blessing. This was a one-owner vehicle   until the Spring of 2014. The original owner (a very charming lady) kept the   van in a special garage in the back yard when it wasn't in use. She stored   it every winter so it never saw salt or snow.

This is the ultimate camping vehicle! There is a working stove, a working sink, a refrigerator and even a furnace in this van! The stove works and you can see it light up in the videos that accompany the Web Page for this van. The sink works by pumping the hand pump, and if it is connected to electricity there is an electric pump for the sink as well (I only tried the hand pump during my inspection as we weren't near a place that had RV hookup). The roof of this van pops up so you get the advantage of full headroom plus the advantage of better gas mileage verses a "high top" camper (one that is always tall). The roof pops up high enough that even a 6 foot tall person can stand inside without hitting their head on the ceiling! The top works with a compressor but the compressor isn't functioning. But the top can be raised manually. A new or rebuilt compressor should get the top working automatically again. The hydraulic system still looks complete. What a cool system!

Other camping benefits include vintage air conditioning (the belt isn't hooked up for the A/C currently), and a full fold down bed and pop up table for seating. The fun is nearly endless with a vehicle like this.

This Ford Pop Top Camper has the following amenities:

  • Hand Sink
  • Stove
  • Furnace
  • Refrigerator
  • Pop Top
  • Table and Benches
  • Fold Down Bed
  • Cupboard fully stocked with Camping Supplies!

A complete tune up was just completed on the low-mile engine. Here is a list of what was done this summer:

  • New Spark Plug Wires
  • New Spark Plugs
  • New PCV Valve
  • New Distributor cap and points
  • New Oil Filter
  • New Fuel Filter
  • Fresh Oil Change
  • Cleaned Carburetor 

The van starts and idles great. The power steering works effortlessly. The van runs and drives well and the body is nice and solid.

Have a look through the photos in the galleries below and you will be able to fully appreciate the current condition of this rare, classic 1973 Ford Econoline Turtle Top Camper for sale.

Thanks!!

Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.

2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.

J Mays' legacy

Fri, 15 Nov 2013



Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
