1978 Ford E150 Econoline Sport Van, 'Tangerine Dream' V-8, Auto, tilt wheel! cruise! Clean title in hand! AC...but does not blow cold air. An original 'Viking' Conversion, custom decals and custom paint by J Button '78' ? from signature on back, This is one sweet honest Ford Van ! Not many around like this anymore, a well preserved unmolested time capsule from 78! a survivor! No rust ! No Bondo! No dents! No rips or tears in any of the seats! Windows all good! door locks, door handles all good & operate as they should. All lights, turn signals ect. work. Has electric roof vent that works awesome. Receiver hitch! Awesome orange fur carpet detailed headliner...awwww 1978!!! This thing turns some heads, she gets a lot of attention♥ Michelin radial tires all around with lots of tread. Does not have the factory wheels, wheels are from 94 Ford truck with wheel skin covers. 351W V-8 runs smooth ! no smoke, no ticks, no knocks, no blow by. Tranny is tight & smooth. Brakes good. Drives and rides wonderful! Rides better than most everything I have owned. I seriously think you could drive this anywhere. 2 fuel tanks. Rear seat can lay flat for bed, Has an octagon table with cup holders that can be moved to two different locations inside, has a built in ice box with top cup holders, has a sink on top of the ice box but it is not operational, probably could be made to be. All captains chairs swivel as should. Rear chairs can swivel to face either direction. Stated mileage will go up as I use this currently as a daily driver to work and back and grocery getter. NOTES: This has an exterior electric fuel pump, the mechanical one on the engine is still in place but not hooked up. No clue why it was ever changed but the electric works great. Mileage is in excess of its mechanical limits of 18,462. When switched to the front fuel tank the fuel gauge does not work, when switched to the rear fuel tank the gauge does work but noticed it is off, so when the tank is full it registers a little over half on the gauge. The temp gauge does not work, I assume it needs a new temp gauge sending unit. I don't know if the cruise works, just never have had the need to use it. I can give it a try soon at your request. AC does not blow cold air, ac compressor does engage, just no cold air. Heat & defrost works great. Old muffler has slight leak, sounds great out of the tailpipe though! Does have a rear seal oil seepage leak, I rarely have to add oil to it between changes, but it could be something that could stand to be done in the future & does not effect the drivability of it at all. Tires are not balanced but at speeds up to 65 notice no shake at all. I do have the spare tire bracket that attaches to the back. Spare tire is no good, and will not hold air. It will also need a jack to keep in the vehicle. Also I have the curtains that came with it, they are old but could still be used and or used for a pattern for some new ones to be made. Please ask questions and I can send more pics if interested. One of a kind Ford Van with lots of potential or drive and enjoy as is. Only selling because I have a single drive and three vehicles is a pain, would love to go the distance with this beauty if I could. This would be great for camping, pulling the boat ect. This van could also sell locally thus ending auction if no bids are placed during that time. Any checks, money orders will have to clear my bank before I can release the vehicle. Note...some of the photos I took, she was actually pretty dirty, I have since waxed it, and wow does she clean up nice! Paint is really unbelievable for a 1978. Also I have since removed the mud guard flaps from the fenders, I liked the look better without. Please call or text for additional info and or pics, 402-937-6374, drive it or haul it home, she's good either way. thanks for looking ! Update: tested cruise control 11/5/17 and it works perfect.On Nov-06-17 at 15:02:47 PST, seller added the following information: Please Note, I have been unable to find the curtains that came out of this, still looking and may still find them, but as of now cant find where I put them. :/On Nov-07-17 at 13:18:03 PST, seller added the following information: Note: Found the curtains! 11/7/2017 On Nov-09-17 at 14:28:59 PST, seller added the following information: It does have a fuel stain underneath the front fuel tank cap, no biggy, but didn't know if it can be seen in the pics very good, if requested I can send pic of it.
