Vehicle Description
If you understand Vannin' then you should immediately get excited
for this 1976 Ford Econoline 150 Chateau. It earns its estate-like
name because this is a true '70s style conversion van built with
all the cool/classic creature comforts - right down to the shag
carpeting.
This custom machine has the right level of
preservation/restoration. It started life as a Raven Black machine,
and today it retains the kind of shine that makes you proud to
cruise Van Nuys Blvd. You'll love the custom classic features like
the dual sunroofs, special roof rack, and iconic Cragar Keystone
wheels. And the brightwork is excellent. But also don't forget to
inspect the quality of this van. Everything from the look of the
glass, to the way the doors close with authority tell you this is a
classic that was treated with respect.
If you're going to be king of the road, you need a proper throne.
That's why the front has two plush captain's chairs with individual
armrests that can both rotate to face the back of the van. These
were recently recovered this year. Plus, there are other nice
modern upgrades like an AM/FM/CD stereo and provisions for R134a
air conditioning. But the modern pieces are not what really attract
you to this van. Behind the seats is a true 1970s interior complete
with tri-color shag carpeting! It's an absolutely retro-cool look
with wood paneling, carpeted walls, and a design that will make
people remember spending days on the open road. And this one is
still set up for adventure with everything from a built-in icebox,
to a full table that converts into a bed.
Ford's 351 cubic-inch V8 is the right partner for a stout and
torquey powerplant. It has the look of originality, but it also has
been treated to the right investments - including a newer fuel
sending unit and gas tank. It runs smoothly like a proper road
machine should. Plus, you have a three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up front.
There's even cruise control to keep this a true comfortable
cruiser.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, original warranty
card, title documentation, and decades of maintenance records. This
is a cool part of custom car culture that has amazingly survived.
