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!

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
Ford adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.
Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer
Fri, 13 Dec 2013To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
