Vehicle Description

1974 Ford Econoline Van


Exterior
Let me just start by saying this is an eye candy, bell bottom
wearing chick magnet that is totally rust free, has laser straight
steel panels, well minded gaps, a perfect front grille that has not
even seen a bug hit it, and now all bathed in factory black. Oh,
but this is only the beginning! Lets throw on a porthole bubble
window on each side, airbrush some groovy graphics of fading in and
out flames, and have them confined to a wide stripe like graphic
that runs around the body and ascends into the rear bubble
portholes. For the large area of black canvas remaining on either
side how about an airbrushed scene with mountains in the background
and a cavern rim edge and some haunting trees and encircling
vultures. All warm tones and just a beautiful work of the 1970s
are worthy of gracing a black velvet canvas as well, to hang over
my polyester covered bottle green couch, but I digress. This van
sports some nifty side pipes all chromed and nice, and of course
15-inch Cragar mag styled wheels, polished big rig side view
mirrors and immaculate chromed bumpers. Original badging is all
there, and nicely preserved showroom condition window trimmings
abound all around. Ill be right there; Im tying my platform
shoes.

Interior
A swing of any door takes us back to 1974 shag-alicious heaven that
covers nearly every square inch of the interior. Light gray
extra-long shag material is peppered throughout with some black and
is as clean as the day it was installed. A rear platform bed is now
installed and is covered with...shag! In the center is a black
formica cabinet that houses a mini fridge and has open space to its
left, (rear facing), side. Mounted to this cabinet and the ceiling
are dual red, white and blue plastic ornaments for some extra kick
to this overwhelming visual interior palette. Speaking of
overwhelming, in front are 2 captains chairs seen with wide
houndstooth inserts in black and white broadcloth, with nice
perfect black smooth vinyl bolsters. These have armrests and the
passenger chair swivels. Upfront the original dash is painted in a
contrasting butterscotch paint and is truly all original. This is
fronted with the original steering wheel, also in butterscotch. The
center of the dash has been customized with an AM/FM/8 track tape
player and oval speaker. Below the dash on the passenger side is a
high output heater. All this sits between you guessed it, black and
white shag carpet covered door panels. Insert Jimi Hendrix National
Anthem rendition from Woodstock, and lets breathe it all in. Just
1970s beautiful.

Drivetrain
Under the small front hood is a perfectly preserved lineup of
intake, radiator, battery, horn, and wiper motor. Hidden behind
this is a 302ci V8 that is fed by a single 2-barrel carburetor. The
transmission is a 3-speed manual version and throws power to the
back through a Ford 9-inch rear axle. All factory looking with just
a very slight patina. Flower power!

Undercarriage
Beautifully preserved with a smidgeon of surface rust, but
certainly all unremarkable. Front independent coil spring
suspension is noted, and on back leaf springs. Power drums bring
this time capsule to a stop efficiently.

Drive-Ability
With such low mileage weve respected this and only started the
van. It fired right up and had a nice gurgle to the side piped
exhaust.
