WE ARE ALWAYS ON THE HUNT FOR CLEAN CLASSICS BUT ESPECIALLY ORIGINAL SURVIVORS, ODD VEHICLES AND CLASSIC TRUCKS, SO WHEN WE SAW THIS NEAR MINT ODD BALL LITTLE SURVIVOR WE COULDN'T LEAVE WITHOUT IT. THIS VAN CLEARLY BY IT'S CONDITION TELLS IT WAS A LOVED AND EXTREMELY WELL CARED FOR VEHICLE. THIS VAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN STORED INSIDE AND HAS BEEN IN THE NORTHWEST IT'S WHOLE 32 YEAR LIFE AND LUCKILY WE HAVE MILD WINTERS OFTEN WITH NO SNOW AND NEVER USE SALT ON WINTER ROADS THAT HELP LEAVE BEAUTIFUL AND SOLID RUST FREE CLASSICS LIKE THIS ONE. THIS VAN IS NOT THE EXTENDED VERSION AND IS STANDARDLENGTH, BUT HAS THE TWO CAPTAIN SEATS, TWO 3 PASSENGER BENCHES AND A FOURTH ROW THAT HAS BELTS FOR 4. IT HAS THE FUEL INJECTED 4.9 300 I6, C6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND OF COURSE, POWER STEERING AND DISC BRAKES. THIS VAN TRULY DRIVES AS TIGHT AND SOLID AS IT DID NEW WITH A SMOOTH, QUIET AND VERY COMFORTABLE DRIVE. NICE SOLID OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS FREE OF ANY DOOR SAG THAT GIVE THAT TIGHT POP WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE IS PULLED AND THAT BEAUTIFUL DEEP VAULT LIKE SOLID SOUND THAT EVERY CAR GUYLOVES TO HEAR WHEN CLOSING THE HEAVY DOOR ON A CLASSIC. THIS CLASSIC VAN IS IN AMAZING SOLID AND ORIGINAL CONDITION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND IS 100% RUST FREE CONDITION. I LOVE ORIGINAL SURVIVORS AND CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE HARD TO FIND CONDITION OF THIS VAN, IT TAKES A FEW TIMES AROUND THIS VEHICLE LOOKING AT ALL THE LITTLE PARTS AND ITEMS THAT ARE USUALLY LONG WORN AWAY, COVERED IN ROAD GRIME, BROKEN OR REMOVED TO TRULY APPRECIATE IT’S UN-TOUCHED CONDITION. I KNOW IT MAY TAKE A WHILE TO LOA, BUT THE PHOTOS ARE WORTH IT!!

BODY- AS YOU WALK AROUND THIS VAN AND TAKE IN THE THE OVERALL AMAZING 32 YEAR OLD ORIGINAL CONDITION IN AND OUT, YOU CAN JUST FEEL AND SEE THE CLEAR LOVE AND CARE THIS ECONOLINE HAS RECEIVED START TO BLEED OUT MORE AND MORE THE FURTHER YOU LOOK AND THE MORE YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALL DETAILS. THE INTERIOR, DRIVE QUALITY AND THE OVERALL TIGHT AND SOLID FEEL THIS VAN GIVES, TO ME IS WHAT ROUNDS THIS VAN OFF TO BE IN A LEAGUE AND STATUE OF IT'S OWN AND IS THE CHERRY ON THE TOP, BUT WHAT IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE PART OF THIS 3 DECADE OLD SURVIVOR IS THE INCREDIBLE EXTERIOR AND UNDERSIDE. THIS VAN IS IN IT'S ORIGINAL WHITE PAINT THAT IS IN GORGEOUS CONDITION WITH VERY MINIMAL WEAR OR AGING. ALL THE PAINT HAS A VERY HIGH GLOSS SHINE THAT HAS THAT SMOOTH FEEL AND WET LOOK. ALL PAINT MATCHES WITH EQUAL WEAR. THIS HAS A GREAT FLASHBACK TIME CAPSULE FACTORY LOOK AND STANCE. AS MENTIONED ABOVE THIS DOES NOT HAVE ONE PAINT BUBBLE, ROT, CANCER OR RUST AND HAS A BEAUTIFUL EQUALLY AGED SINGLE STAGE ENAMEL PAINT ALL THE WAY AROUND WITH THAT KILLER HIGH GLOSS FINISH. THE CAR STILL RETAINS ALL IT'S ORIGINAL GLASS WITH THE FORD CARLITE LOGO THAT IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, ALL THE PLASTIC LENSES STILL HAVE NICE COLOR AND CLARITY AND ARE FREE OF ANY CRACKS, FADING OR DAMAGE. THE DOORS SHUT AND POP OPEN VERY TIGHT, SMOOTH AND EASY WITH NO SAG, ALL DOORS LOCK, ALL WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN. THE HOOD POPS RIGHT UP WITH ONE EASY PULL ALONG WITH THE REAR DOORS THAT SHUT AND OPEN WITH EASE. THIS VAN HAS EXCELLENT ORIGINAL PANEL GAPS ALL THE WAY AROUND AND OVERALL CONDITION SHOW IT HAS BEEN GARAGED AND NOT LEFT OUT IN THE ELEMENTS. YOU CAN SEE HOW SOLID AND HONEST THIS OLD VAN IS BY THE PICS ON THE TOP OF THE ROCKERS, BOTTOM OF DOORS, FLOORBOARDS, BODY MOUNTS, UNDERSIDE OF ROCKERS AND ALL THE OTHER HIGH WEAR AREAS. ALL THE WINDOW RUBBERS AND STAINLESS TRIM ARE IN MINT SHAPE, ALONG WITH THE RUBBER DOOR GLASS FELTS ARE LIKE NEW ALONG WITH THE FOLDING SIDE MIRRORS ON THE DOORS THAT USUALLY ALWAYS HAVE SURFACE RUST NEAR THE HINGES AND BOLTS. THIS VAN IS ARROW STRAIGHT AND TO ME IS A TEN OF TEN'S FOR SURVIVOR CONDITION, BUT EVEN AS US PEOPLE IF WE WERE LEFT IN A BUBBLE FOR 32 YEARS WE STILL WOULD SHOW SOME AGE AND HAVE LITTLE IMPERFECTIONS. THANKFULLY THIS VAN CLEARLY HAD A VERY EASY LIFE, SO THE WEAR IS VERY MINIMAL WITH SMALL STONE CHIPS THAT ARE NO LARGER THEN A PEN TIP, MAINLY ALONG THE LOWER AREAS BEHIND THE TIRES AND A FEW ON THE FRONT FASCIA OF THE HOOD.THERE IS SOME SMALL ENTRY MARKS AND CHIPS AROUND THE REAR HATCH AND DOOR ENTRY AREAS ALONG WITH SOME TINY CHIPS AROUND DOOR EDGES. THERE IS A SMALL DING AND CHIP IN PAINT ON DRIVER DOOR, A LITTLE PAINT RUBBED OF THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL EDGE MOLDING, DING AND SCUFF NEAR RIGHT REAR BUMPER AND ANOTHER LITTLE SCUFFING IN THE BODY ON THE FRONT BOTTOM EDGE OF PASSENGER DOOR, BUT HECK PRETTY IMPRESSIVE OF A 32 YEAR OLD PASSENGER VAN! THIS WELL LOVED FAMILY HAULER IS HARD TO FIND NOT ONLY IN UN-MOLESTED ORIGINAL CONDITIO, BUT VERY HARD TO FIND ONE OF THIS CALIBER

INTERIOR-INSIDE THE SAME WELL PRESERVED AND TIME CAPSULE LOOKING ORIGINAL CONDITION FROM THE OUTSIDE FOLLOWS TO THE INTERIOR. INSIDE IT IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION AND IS AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS YOU CAN GET! NEVER SMOKED IN WITH A PERFECT UN-USED ASH TRAY AND CIGARETTE LIGHTER, NO PETS, LEAKS, MOLD OR SMELLS AND BEING A GARAGED AND WELL PRESERVED VAN IT DOES NOT HAVE ONE ITEM THAT IS SUN FADED, THE DASH, SEATS, DOOR PANELS, SEATS, PLASTIC TRIM AND HEADLINER ARE IMMACULATE WITH THE SAME COLOR AND SHADE AS THEY WERE NEW. THERE IS NO CRACKS OR HOLES IN THE DASH, DOOR PANELS OR ANY PLASTIC TRIM. THE SEATS ARE EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE ON SHORT OR LONG TRIPS WITH NO BREAK DOWN ON THE INNER FOAM OR THE CLOTH, THEY HAVE NO HINGE OR SLIDER ISSUE AND THE REAR SEATS QUICKLY UN-BOLT IF YOU NEED TO HAUL LARGE ITEMS OR SLEEP ON A ROAD TRIP. THE INTERIOR CARGO AREA IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH THE ORIGINAL SPARE AND JACK SET-UP ALL INTACT AT THE VERY BACK. THE HEAT. WIPERS, RADIO, ALL LIGHTS AND SWITCHES WORK PROPERLY. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS NO BREAKDOWN, CRISP WOOD TRIM ALONG THE DASH, ALL THE GAUGES ARE NICE AND CLEAR THAT WORK PROPERLY.THE ONLY REAR WEAR IS THE RUBBER MAT AFTER BETWEEN THE 2ND AND 3RD ROW BENCHES IS TORN, THE FIRST ROW BENCH SEAT HAS THE OUTERARM REST MISSING AND ONE OF THE SEAT-BELTRECEIVERSHAS BEEN SWAPPED OUT WITH A BROWN ONE. THE DOORS POP RIGHT OPEN WITH EASEAND SHUT LIKE NEW WITH ONE SOLID SOUND AND NOSAGGING AND HAVE BEAUTIFUL GLOSSY PAINT THROUGHOUT THE JAMBS AND HINGES WITH NEARLY NO ENTRY WEAR MARKS. THE HEADLINER IS THE SAME AS MOST OF THE INTERIOR AND IS PERFECT WITH NO SAGGING AND THE SUN VISORS MOVE FREELY AND STAY IN THE POSITION YOU LEAVE THEM. OVERALL THIS INTERIOR IS AMAZING AND I WISH I COULD FIND MORE ORIGINAL INTERIORS LIKE THIS EVERY WEEK AND I THINK IT WOULD BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TO FIND A NICER AND MORE ORIGINAL 32 YEAR OLD INTERIOR!

MECHANICAL-THIS E250 CLUB WAGON CRUISER IS VERY TIGHT AND SOLID MECHANICALLY. IT IS A VERY STRONG AND SMOOTH RUNNER WITH NO HESITATION, TICKING, SMOKING OR ISSUES. IT DRIVES AND STOPS STRAIGHT AND TIGHT JUST AS IT SHOULD. AS MENTIONED ABOVE IT HAS HAD METICULOUS REGULAR MAINTENACE FROM THE FORD DEALER IT WAS BOUGHT NEW AT FOR IT’S WHOLE 32 YEAR OLD LIFE. ORIGINAL FUEL INJECTED 300 INLINE 6 MOTOR RUNS QUIET AND SMOOTH WITH NO ISSUES, THE C6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTH AND TIGHT. IT HAS JUST HAD A FULL TUNE-UP DONE, ALL NEW FLUIDS AND FULL INSPECTION. IT ALWAYS FIRES RIGHT UP, RUNS SMOOTH AND IS A EASE TO DRIVE ON COUNTRY ROADS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS VAN IS SUPER CLEAN UNDER THE HOOD WITH FACTORY DECALS AND ASSEMBLY MARKINGS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND STILL IN PLACE ALONG WITH THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CHASSIS AND BODY. IT IS NOT SPRAYED WITH CHEAP DETAIL SPRAY AND IS NOT SPOTLESS, BUT LEFT IN IT'S HONEST CONDITION SHOWING IT HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND MAINTAINED, BUT STILL DRIVEN AND USED. I ALWAYS LOVE FINDING LOW MILE SURVIVORS BECAUSE IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS UNDER THE HOOD THAT JUMP OUT, LIKE HOW CLEAN AND BRIGHT THE FINISH IS ON THE FITTINGS, BOLTS, WIPER MOTOR, LATCHE, HOW CLEAN ALL THE FACTORY GROMMETS ARE ALONG WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND LINES. THE POWER BRAKES STOP SMOOTH AND STRAIGHT WITH NO PULLING, SHAKING, FADING OR NOISES. THE STEERING IS VERY SOLID WITH NO WONDERING WHEEL, PLAY, CROOKED WHEEL OR BALL-JOINT BINDING SOUNDS AND THE SUSPENSION IS NICE AND TIGHT THROUGH CORNERS AND BUMPS WITH NO BODY ROLL OR BOUNCY SHOCKS. ALL THE WIRING AND BOLTS ARE ORIGINAL AND UNTOUCHED. THE FUEL INJECTED MOTOR ACTS LIKE A LATE MODEL CAR WITH NO TRAFFIC OR COLD START WORRIES, HAS NICE THROTTLE RESPONSE, IDLES CLEAN AND SMOOTH AND HAS NO ISSUES OR SIGNS OF BEING TIRED. THE AUTOMATIC TRANS HAS NICE QUICK DOWN SHIFTS WHEN YOU PUT THAT 300 TO WORK AND HAS NICE CONSISTENT UP SHIFTS. THIS VAN HAS OLDER MICHELINES THAT I BELIEVE ARE THE ORIGINALS, THEY HAVE A TON OF TREAD, ROLL QUIET AND SMOOTH AND LEFT THEM ON THERE JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE IT’S AMAZING THEY ARE STILL THERE AND ARE A PART OF THIS VANS STORY, BUT IF YOU PLAN TO PUT THIS VAN THROUGH IT’S PACES IN IT’S NEXT LIFE AND STACK THE MILES DOWN THE ROAD YOU MIGHT WANT TO THROW A NEW SET ON IT FOR PIECE OF MIND. THIS IS A FUN CLASSIC THAT I WOULD NOT STRESS ABOUT BEING IN TRAFFIC WITH AND WOULD TRUST TO TAKE ANYWHERE AND BEING A HEAVY DUTY ¾ TON IT IS READY TO BE A WORK HORSE :)

THE ECONOLINE WAS MADE BY THE MASSES, SO CAN'T REALLY BE LABELED AS A RARE VEHICLE, BUT THEY ARE RARELY SEEN ON THE ROAD TODAY ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. THIS ERA IN THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD WAS NOT BUILDING VEHICLES THAT STIRRED MUCH PASSION IN PRODUCTION OR IN OWNERSHIP AND WAS NOT AIMED TO BE VEHICLES THAT WERE MEANT TO BE CHERISHED, BABIED AND LEFT IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION OVER 30 YEARS LATER. THIS ERA OF THE DOMESTIC VEHICLES WERE PURPOSE BUILT BY MANUFACTURES AND PURCHASED BY CONSUMERS TO BE A TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE AND THAT'S IT. THIS GENERATION OF CARS IN AMERICA WERE NOT TYPICALLY LOOKED AFTER OR MAINTAINED THE BEST AND OFTEN DRIVEN HARD UNTIL SOME KIND OF MECHANICAL FAILURE THEN THROWN ASIDE AND REPLACED. MOST OF THE AMERICAN MADE VEHICLES SAW A SHORT FATE AND OFTEN WERE NO LONGER ON THE ROAD A DECADE LATER. OFTEN TIME JUST A SMALL PROBLEM LIKE A STARTER OR FUEL PUMP WOULD PUT THESE CARS OUT TO PASTURE AND IS WHY TODAY OVER 32 YEARS LATER ONES LIKE THIS VAN GET SO MANY COMMENTS AND SECOND LOOKS BY PEOPLE. IT'S NOT OFTEN TO SEE ONE STILL CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD, LET ALONE AS MUCH OF A ORIGINAL CREAM PUFF AS THIS ONE. I HAVE BEEN AMAZED WHEN I HAVE HAD THIS VAN OUT BY HOW MANY PEOPLE STOP TO MAKE COMMENTS ON NOT JUST IT’S CONDITION, BUT BY HOW MANY PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE A OLD VAN ROAD TRIP LIKE STORY. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IN THEIR LATE 20'S TO 60'S HAVE HAD A OLD BRICK NOSE FORD VAN IN THEIR FAMILY LINE SOMEWHERE AND THEY ALWAYS START WITH EITHER THE COMMENT " BOY YOU DON'T SEE THOSE ANYMORE" OR "I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I SAW ONE OF THOSE" WHILE THIS ONE STILL OF COURSE WILL SHOW SOME YEARS AND AGING IT STILL HAS THAT FACTORY FRESH TIME CAPSULE LOOK AND IS A TRUE TESTAMENT TO THE CARE AND LOVE THIS VAN WAS GIVEN BY IT'S OWNER, AS IT JUST SIMPLY WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY OR LOOK AS GOOD AS IT DOES TODAY IF IT WASN'T LOOKED AFTER!

The older the car, the harder it is to define the condition of the vehicle.Most of our vehicles are specialty vehicles or are 15+ years old, and usually trucks. Because of this, it is very difficult to describe each vehicle to everyone’s satisfaction. Based on the bidder'spersonal experience, some bidders will be overly pleased with my description and pictures, and others may feel that I fell short. I postthese auctions based on how I want to see auctions when I’m buying, keeping in mind what I look for, and I try to put your eye's to what I can see and touch. Please help me by asking all questions and letting me know if other pictures are wanted. If you do not see a pic or description of a item or a area on the truck please do not assume anything and ask me about the specifics your a needing or for more pics and i will post every question asked by members so all potential bidders can see. Every car is available for inspection and i personally drive each vehicle before listing it andIf anything does not work properly I will let you know. Of course I amonly human and these are mechanical creatures and these are usedvehicles, so please keep this in mind when bidding
