1973 Ford Econoline E200 123 WB Club Wagon Chateau passenger van

19K original miles. One family owned since new. This is the top of the line model offered in 1973. The Club Wagon Chateau had many cosmetic upgrades that included significant exterior brightwork and interior upgrades. It looks as if it were stored in a plastic bubble. Simply unbelievable.

This unique vehicle is all original with the exception of:

Newer radial tires (spare is original and never touched the ground)
New fitted correct carpet set (have original as well that is in great shape)
Incorrect gas cap (it works fine and is period correct but an original is larger and body colored)
Dealer installed (at time of new vehicle purchase) rear heater under third row seat
Curtains new at time of purchase
Period correct stainless and rubber mud flaps
OE Ford Mag style wheelcovers as offered on 1970's Ford F100 trucks (have perfect original dog dish covers that go with the van)
OPTIMA Battery

There are some imperfections on this van. Most of the imperfections are factory flaws (fit and finish) as was normal for domestic vehicles during this era. However, these flaws provide proof to the originality. There are a few dings and paint chips. I will be happy to go into detail with any serious buyer. Send me a message with your phone number and I will be happy to call you.

This is not an old van with "Patina". This is a true Time Warp van that will win best of class against any other original or restored van.

Important notes:

Build sheet barely visible under driver's seat. Left intact.
Original assembly markings untouched and visible throughout.
All original paint
All original upholstery - killer houndstooth
All original glass

Mechanical:

Every single mechanical or electrical option, gauge, light, accessory or part works as new. On cold start up with one tap of the gas pedal, the choke works perfect and starts immediately. The choke goes away as the engine warms up and never stalls, misses or hesitates. The engine is smooth and has plenty of power. The transmission up-shifts properly and kicks down a gear when called upon. It is an easy van to drive around town and an absolute pleasure on the freeway. There are no leaks rattles or funny noises. The brakes are surprisingly good for non-power drums and there is no pulling whatsoever. I would not hesitate to drive this anywhere except for the constant worry of getting a rock chip or door ding.

Shipping/Delivery:

After full payment is made and the vehicle is insured by the new owner, delivery can be included (if you are flexible on timing) to any major metropolitan US area with an airport that Delta services (except Alaska or Hawaii). You must contact me before the auction ends to a mutual agreement on timing or this option is not available. My preference is to see someone in Southern California get it so I can deliver it at Cars and Coffee. People will freak. Or, the buyer can chose to make other transport/shipping arrangements at their own cost.

Price:

I know this is not a Boss 429 and it is not priced as one. However, it is a very special character vehicle that quite possibly could be the finest example available. It is not for sale locally and I will not stop the auction for offers. I won't divulge the reserve and I will not reply to any questions about price while the auction is running. It is expensive for an old van but it is cheap for a true collector vehicle that gets more stares, smiles and thumbs up than a Boss 429.

Some people get it....

You can't restore originality and you can't turn back mileage. To replicate this van with a good solid donor would take a ridiculous amount of money and time. Some of the pristine parts that are on this van are unobtainable. Just try to find the exterior pop out window rubber or a mint dash pad......I've been looking for years for another van I have. If you have ever thought about owning the best 2nd gen Econoline passenger van, look no further.

Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.

New York Mets outfielder turns spring training into his personal car show

Wed, Feb 24 2016

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is known for his wide range of talents. He can hit for power, average, has good speed, and is solid in the field. His car collection is equally versatile and diverse, and it's been on display this week at spring training. Every day has brought a different car, and it has his teammates and the media atwitter. Cespedes rolled up Wednesday to the Mets facility in Port St. Lucie in a Lamborghini Aventador. It's black with blue trim. Anthony DiComo with MLB.com tweeted this: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. ESPN's Darren Rovell tweeted the Lambo has a custom exhaust that cost $80,000 and shoots out flames. Of course, that's already old news. His Alfa Romeo showed up today, too. Apparently Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has been driving it. That's an ultra-rare 8C Competizione, brought to you by Robert Brender of SNY.TV. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The Italian delights are stunning, but his Tuesday arrival was arguably the craziest: a Polaris Slingshot. DiComo captured this. It's customized with gaudy wire wheels, red accents, and Cespedes' No. 52 on the hood. Subtle. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Only in this fleet would Monday's ride appear pedestrian. It was 'only' an F-250. It was raised on huge wheels, had a custom grille, and towered over that Maserati behind it. Jon Santucci of Scripps newspapers observed it. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. At this rate, we should probably skip Geneva and get credentialed for Mets spring training. Cespedes signed a three-year $75-million contract with the Mets in the off-season. He's also played for the Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox, and Detroit Tigers. Related Video: Image Credit: Getty Images Celebrities Design/Style Ford Lamborghini Performance baseball

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
