This 1973 Ford Super Van is a one of a kind. With under 1,900 miles, at 51 years old, this van is still brand new! It runs perfectly from front to back and right down to the original AM radio!
The van has a 302 V8 engine with manual transmission and has been fully kitted out with blue shag carpet, velvet walls, bucket seats, a rear bed and wood panelling.
Over 2022 and 2023 the van was fully restored to top working condition after 48 years in storage. The carburetor was rebuilt, brakes and steering fully redone, new battery installed and both the engine and transmission checked with a fine tooth comb by a professional mechanic. It sports brand new BF Goodrich tires and classic rims.
The Legend! The story on this van is that it was built out with no expense spared by the original owner. Shortly after completing the van, he passed away. Unwilling to sell it, the family kept it in the garage for over 40 years before it was sold to a collector who kept it stored indoors with the rest of his vehicles.
We purchased it in 2021 and have enjoyed short trips from our house to the mountain bike trails! At the end of the ride we would pull out the bbq and cooler while sitting with friends around the van.
Q & A:
Really only 1,900 miles?
Yes. Crazy but true.
What doesn’t work?
To be honest…the only thing that doesn’t work is the interior lighting and the aftermarket tape deck. It comes with a U2 cassette stuck in it!
Why are there extra seats in the back?
The are DOT approved, installed by a licensed installer, but they are easily removed.
Where is the van?
The van is stored in Calgary Canada but for the right buyer we will work to have it connected with you anywhere in North America.
