1978 Ford E-Series Van Description

1978 Ford Econoline 250 with 67,000 original miles. Great original condition, not restored. Spent most of it's life in a garage in Albuquerque, then we brought it down to Tucson a few years ago. Was customized in 1984 and has been that way ever since. We have the maintenance records since new, we bought it from the original owner's family. This van has unlimited potential, you could do most anything with it. It's been completely mechanically proofed, wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country tomorrow, those aren't just words, we do it all the time. This is a true adventure mobile, they don't build them like this anymore, no computers, no sensors, parts are available, very affordable to own and maintain. Strong as an ox, will pull anything, lots of power and gets decent mileage, between 15-18mpg. Cruises straight and smooth, no play in the steering, brakes are very powerful. Body and interior are in great shape for it's age. Very clean inside and out. No rust what so ever! Gets compliments and thumbs up all the time.
