I am selling my 1972 Ford Econoline E-200. Moving forces sale. This is a barn find van that I found in the mountains of Virginia last summer. The mileage is unknown. I listed what is on the odometer. This van is an unmolested, totally original as ordered van. And yes it was a special order. It is an E200 with E-300 axles and springs and 8 lug wheels. It has factory air. I was told it worked when put in storage in 1996. I am the third owner. The first owner purchased it to haul mule teams to competition. The second owners used it for flea market duty.  The color blue while now faded was a special color. It is optioned out like a Chateau model on the inside, but is bare bones and void of chrome on the outside. It is a long wheelbase Super Van. It runs excellent, starts on the first try and purrs. The transmission works but hesitates when first put in gear. I am in the process of replacing the master cylinder, front wheel cylinders and front brake hoses, because while it will get up and go, it will not stop unless you use the emergency brake. Right now everything works on it except the brakes and I don't know about the air conditioner. Tires hold air but are dry rotted. Have all 4 hubcaps.All glass is good but the windshield seal will need to be replaced eventually as it leaks. Has no seats in the back. No rust on the underside except the usual light underside surface rust. One rust hole in right rear quarter.
Interior and engine photos to follow on 27 February. 
This van is as factory original as you will get. Everything is in its original place. No jury rigged repairs. If you wanted to know what one looked like from the factory under the  engine cover and hood, this is it. This van was purchased and stayed within 50 miles of its purchase loaction its entire life until I brought it to Yorktown. The two bright blue photos were taken after it was washed. The dark discoloration on the right rear corner was mildew.
Please ask questions before bidding. This van is sold as is, where is with no warranties expressed or implied. If you have less than ten (10) feedbacks, contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid.
On Feb-27-13 at 04:45:44 PST, seller added the following information:
This van was purchased to use as a tow vehicle for camping. Unfortunately I am moving a distance that would be cost prohibitive to ship at this time. I will be adding a photo of the stamped VIN # along with interior and engine photos later today, 27 February. 
Also the roof was coated with a white paint. I believe it is mobile home roof coating. It has preserved the roof well but for some reason a particulat type of algae likes it and those are what the spots are on the roof. It is not rust, although there is some very light surface rust on the roof.  
If anyone would like specific photos, let me know and I will add them during the course of the auction. If there are local buyers I am available to show the van.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
2015 Ford Mustang revs it up at Cars & Coffee
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Just because the new 2015 Ford Mustang has officially been released, you didn't think that would be the end of the matter - did you? Of course not. There'll still be plenty of rumors, reports and video footage to bring you. Like this, the first non-official footage of the new pony car in the wild.
Shot by YouTube user SotA1080 and dug up by our friends at CarBuzz, this clip shows the new Mustang posing for photos (alongside other Mustangs) and starting up its engine at the most recent gathering of Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA. And this being the GT model, it's not packing the V6 or the turbo four, but the red-blooded 5.0-liter V8 that tells us and enthusiasts worldwide that the new Mustang has not lost its way. Scroll on down to watch the footage for yourself.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
