The first Ford Econoline, introduced for the 1961 model year, was based on the Ford Falcon — a vehicle that also underpinned the Ford Mustang. The Econoline was built to compete with the Chevrolet Corvair Van, the Volkswagen Type 2, the Jeep Forward Control, and later the Dodge A100. Originally offered as a cargo van or as an eight-passenger van with three rows of seats, the Ford Econoline was also offered as a pickup truck, as seen here. The first E-Series sported a flat nose with an inline six-cylinder engine between and behind the front seats. Early models had a 144 CID 6-cylinder engine with a three-speed manual transmission. What makes this 1964 Ford Econoline special is its simplicity. It seems so utilitarian, so spartan, yet at the same time has potential as an eye-catching vehicle. We couldn't help but wonder, “How often does the average person see one of these early Econolines, if ever, in 2014?” That uncommonness combined with this particular vehicle’s originality, is what made us consider the potential for this truck to be a restoration candidate or even a hot rod of sorts, which made us like it even more.This classic Ford runs and drives great the way it is. Does need odds and ends to complete the dream. We posted the mileage of 71,291 and that is what the odometer shows however due to the age of the Ford we are unsure of the exact miles. We're a family owned RV dealership in southern New Mexico and this was a recent trade in.
