Vehicle Description
A forward-control van like this 1967 Ford Econoline is always going
to be an attention-getter. But this one gets noticed more than the
rest. That's because it earns its flames with an upgrade to
fuel-injected V8 power. And with an A/C interior, upgraded
suspension, overdrive transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes, it
makes for an awesome driver's classic.
A first-gen Econoline van is already a rare sight these days, so
you know this one will grab plenty of attention. But what will
really make everyone take notice is the flamed-out front end that
starts white-hot at the front and burns a beautiful orange blaze
down the sides. So while most people would just be content with the
bright metallic green, it's just a canvas for this van's fire.
Deleted badging, bright bumpers, and polished alloys are all part
of this custom and captivating style, too.
The interior maximizes everything that's great about these
forward-control vans. The mid-mounted engine means front bucket
seats, but now these are modern units with modern bolstering. And
while the exterior green returns inside, the tuck and roll brown
vinyl of the doors and headliner are a cool reminder of the early
days of the custom van scene. There are also nice features for
modern cruising, like a tilt steering column, a floor shifter, an
AM/FM/CD stereo, and cold-blowing air conditioning for the front
and rear. And speaking of the rear, it has a full headliner, full
carpeting, jump seats, and bare wood walls. So it's ready to be
outfitted for a camper, cargo, business showcase, or whatever your
imagination wants to do with this full custom machine.
One of the things that makes this first-gen Econoline so cool is
that it's not a center console in-between the seats... it's the
engine bay. And while Ford only offered the inline-six, a few
people started to notice that the V8s fit in there, too. So this
one got a major upgrade to a fuel-injected 5.0-liter motor. It's a
strong-running full package. In fact, they did far more than just
upgrade the powerhouse. The four-speed automatic transmission with
overdrive, independent front suspension, power steering, and
four-wheel power disc brakes are all big upgrades over stock that
make this van a true easy cruiser.
This custom Econoline is distinct, versatile, and powerful. That
makes for a terrific classic that's ready to run. Call now!
