1973 Ford E200 Econoline SuperVan for Sale Buy This Classic 1973 Ford Turtle Top Camper Loaded w/ Sink, Stove, Furnace, Fridge and More! is a rare and original 1973 Ford Pop Top Camper for sale. Not many of these "turtle top" campers were made, so finding one with just 29k original miles in such amazing condition as this one is a real blessing. This was a one-owner vehicle until the Spring of 2014. The original owner (a very charming lady) kept the van in a special garage in the back yard when it wasn't in use. She stored it every winter so it never saw salt or snow. This is the ultimate camping vehicle! There is a working stove, a working sink, a refrigerator and even a furnace in this van! The stove works and you can see it light up in the videos that accompany the Web Page for this van. The sink works by pumping the hand pump, and if it is connected to electricity there is an electric pump for the sink as well (I only tried the hand pump during my inspection as we weren't near a place that had RV hookup). The roof of this van pops up so you get the advantage of full headroom plus the advantage of better gas mileage verses a "high top" camper (one that is always tall). The roof pops up high enough that even a 6 foot tall person can stand inside without hitting their head on the ceiling! The top works with a compressor but the compressor isn't functioning. But the top can be raised manually. A new or rebuilt compressor should get the top working automatically again. The hydraulic system still looks complete. What a cool system! Other camping benefits include vintage air conditioning (the belt isn't hooked up for the A/C currently), and a full fold down bed and pop up table for seating. The fun is nearly endless with a vehicle like this. This Ford Pop Top Camper has the following amenities: Hand Sink Stove Furnace Refrigerator Pop Top Table and Benches Fold Down Bed Cupboard fully stocked with Camping Supplies! A complete tune up was just completed on the low-mile engine. Here is a list of what was done this summer: New Spark Plug Wires New Spark Plugs New PCV Valve New Distributor cap and points New Oil Filter New Fuel Filter Fresh Oil Change Cleaned Carburetor The van starts and idles great. The power steering works effortlessly. The van runs and drives well and the body is nice and solid.
