1970 Ford Camper Special Van


this is a great rust free daily driver Ford Camper Van E300
and a daily driver, ready to hit the road now or on your next
road trip. A real piece of Americana when families took the 
American built van on road trips and the SUV wasnt invented yet.

This also has a nice tow hitch installed outback.

Its a VERY RARE Conversion done by in 1970 best we can tell
for FORD dealers. 
Has all the retro stuff from day 1 inside and ready to be restored
and take more road trips.

Maybe you can make it your Urban Assault Vehicle for when the
SHTF.

Working period: pump sink / propane stove / 110v outlet and more
Has water tank of course too.
The extra windows have a cool rugged no BS look to them too.
Camper top of course is fiberglass by Gypsy

There is a bunch of AC stuff still on the motor and I think
at one time, this could of had AC, if not, it looks like it
would be easy to install it.
Also saw a battery isolater under the hood.

These are extremely RARE to see still on the road
not many where built and many where left for dead back
in the 90s sadly enough.



DRIVETRAIN:  the original motor was replaced with a rebuilt
Later model 200 6cyl and has about 35k miles on it.
the original 3 speed was replaced at the same time with a
truck style 4 spd on the floor with granny gear.
Some mild cutting to the floor was done for the shifter.
As is , this vans been all over the SW from Tucson to Yosemite
and back. Runs and drives great.
It could probably use a tune up soon, some of the stuff on 
the motor looks old, but runs great.

INTERIOR: The original is dirty some and not been kept up
but its very original down to the formica flooring with gold
flakes. Someone installed some decent captains chairs in its
day which is a nice upgrade. But the interior is pretty cool
for its age. So original still, would be great to restore it with
some of todays upgrades but still keep the old period edge
to it would be awesome. 110V outlet works, so does the pump
up sink and propane stove. Even has a CB from the 70s !!


EXTERIOR: Original color I believe was white where someone
maybe even the factory could of done the blue sides.
The current paint is really bad, nothing pretty at all, but 
functional. NO sign of bondo and NO sign of rust anywhere
on this very rare AZ Camper Van All the glass is good too
except one flat pcs on the dr side has a crack.
There are a few dents but nothing horrible.

SUSPENSION: all factory the best I can tell
Could use some cool rims, but as is the suspension is fine
and hop in it and drive anywhere ! Tires still decent too.

This car is 95% rust free Arizona car

We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale

paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. 

Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.

exactly what you have in the end.

youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !
With less horrid surprises later on.

On Jan-05-14 at 21:40:54 PST, seller added the following information:

I forgot to mention, I dont have the fuel line hooked up to the gas tank

Its probably a good idea to flush the tank out first and clear out all the lines
before hooking it up to the engine .
I did install a new fuel pump too.
I obviously havent driven this around any, but think with a little work
it could be a driver. Engine sounded good when it ran, and transmission
should be fine. Only reason it was parked yrs ago was family came 
first and it sat.

Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.

Ford recalling nearly 5,700 2014 F-150s for power steering issue

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Ford is recalling 5,675 of its 2014 F-150 pickups over an issue with the electric power steering system. There haven't been any injuries or accidents due to the issue.
Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Autoblog that the "electric power-assisted steering and motor position sensor gear were incorrectly installed by a supplier," leading to the recall.
While the recall is larger on the surface, it's important to note that only 260 trucks have been delivered to customers. The remaining pickups are currently en route to dealers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 26 and June 19.

Ford Escort returns... as a concept

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Ford is kickin' it old school at the Shanghai Motor Show for 2013 with a new Escort Concept - "a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design" as we said in our initial preview of the small C-segment sedan. Or, as Ford puts it, "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Potato, potahto...
It's an interesting amalgam of design notes with Ford's recent and stylish hexagonal grille up front, flanked by some pretty busy LED light clusters and chrome-trimmed air intakes at the lower extremities of the fascia, but the Escort Concept is not altogether unattractive. Besides its external appearance, we really don't have much information to report - Ford has not yet hinted at what may be powering this little machine, but we'd expect something with four cylinders and less that 2.0 liters of displacement sending a modest number of horses to the front tires.
It probably goes without saying, but we don't expect to see this Escort make its way to the United States, since we already have the Focus and the Fiesta battling it out in the econobox segment. That said, it's very likely to spawn a production model that will roll out here in China and in other developing market where multiple C-segment entries are becoming increasingly common. Check out our high-res image gallery of live images above, and let us know what you think of the car's styling, then scroll down below for the official press release.
