You're looking at an original 1969 Ford Econoline 200 Supervan Coachman Conversion type-B camper. This is a beautiful machine that wears authentic California coast patina of its original blue paint. You can't fake this look! The old girl has aged gracefully, maintaining the integrity of the metal with only surface rusting in areas of the body as shown in the pictures. The body panels are straight and show no sign of any past body work. You will notice the only two significant dents in the pictures: one on the hood, and one near the rear passenger-side taillight. I wouldn't touch the look of this Supervan in the slightest bit, but of course- that is up to you:)
The van is solid with no structural rusting or holes anywhere. It has the original low-mileage 302 V8 with the "three on the tree" manual transmission. The van starts right up and drives down the road well. The brakes, suspension, transmission, and clutch were all recently inspected and operate as intended. I wouldn't hesitate to drive the old girl across the country! In fact, I'll drive it to the new owner for a small fee (please contact me BEFORE you bid if you'd like me to do this).
The interior is in decent original shape. The seats show the wear and tear of 45 years of age with rips and such, but are just fine for sitting on for road tripping. The driver's side is covered with a fur cover that does its job. The carpet in the rear area is in very clean condition (see pictures). I have never used the coach features (sink, stove, oven, etc) and so cannot speak to their condition. It all looks good and functional, but I would have the propane lines and tank pressure tested and the water tank inspected before attempting to use them.
The glass is all intact with only minor chipping in a couple spots on the windshield. The tires are decent, but show some weather checking from age. The exhaust is a bit loud and may have a leak somewhere or may simply need a new muffler. It isn't obnoxious or anything, just a bit louder than it should be. The steering is manual and therefore stiff, but the van is easy to handle on the road.
I have an application for California title signed and ready to transfer to the new owner. This is an easy process in California, but may be more difficult in other states (please do your own research). Unfortunately, the registered owner of this fine vehicle has past away, so no other documentation can be filled out by him. Before his death he filled out and signed an application for California title (lost title) form. This is what the new owner will receive. If you are an out of state buyer and would like a clear California title I can accommodate, but at the expense of some time and money (about $350 and two weeks to do this). If you would require this service, please contact me BEFORE you bid.

Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]
Sat, 09 Mar 2013Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
Ford offering $10,000 in incentives for new F-150
Thu, Jul 16 2015Not two months ago, Ford posted lower-than-expected first quarter earnings partly because of production issues with the new F-150, but raised the year's profit outlook thinking the production issues were over. A month later we got word of more manufacturing problems due to a shortage of frames, leaving the company unable to fulfill demand. The problems not only ate into Ford's bottom line, but also its market share, since the F-Series truck has been the best-selling vehicle for the past 33 years. Inventory still isn't where Ford wants it, and won't be until the end of September. The pipeline is stocked enough, however, that Bloomberg reports The Blue Oval is putting up to $10,029 on the hood in some parts of the country, and only on certain trims, as a way to stay competitive with rival truck makers. Ford lost 100,000 units of production during the changeover of the two plants that build it. The frame shortage compounds that, which has led to F-150 sales that are down 2.4 percent through the first half of the year. F-150 market share in June 2014 was 33 percent, this June it was 28 percent. Meanwhile, sales over at General Motors and Ram are climbing - Chevrolet Silverado sales were up 18 percent year-on-year in June. Ford said its incentive spending on the F-150 is down overall this year, and its average transaction price of $44,100 remains the highest in the segment. Still, it will look forward to solid footing to take on rivals. Related Video:
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
