Not really Expo related, but I think worthy of a post, is my buddies '72 Ford Econoline van.....
Could be camped in.... or converted to 4x4.....

I think its stunning!

That thing looks brand new!

 

[Keyblazer]

Yes, he put a lot of effort and $ into making it probably better than new.
He started with a amazing body shell, which was critical. He looked for a long time to find the right one.

That's such a cool van!

Still have the stock engine?

 

[The Punisher]

WOW!!!!

 

[Charles R]

That thing is awesome!

I believe is a mild 302 with an RV Torque cam, but might be bigger, I will ask him.
The underside is as nice as the top...

That's beautiful.
I had a friend in high school that had one of those.
300 inline 6, and three on the tree. His wasn't a window van.

Wow, My 69 e200 is nowhere nearly as nice as that thing. The only thing I have him beat on is mine has a poptop camper conversation done. But I am jealous of all the pop-out windows.

Bonkers! What a beutiful van!

 

[Keyblazer]

Yes, He searched high and low for a Pop Top and could not find a good one.
In fact he is still looking!

Yeah, they are getting super hard to find in decent shape. I found mine just by accident through family, and while it was in good shape mechanically it needs some help in the looks department.

 

[Chevrolado]

Wow, yeah. Thing is cleaaaaan. Very nice van.

If he's still looking let him know I have 2 completely original with poptop (69 & 70's) and I might consider selling one.
