1976 Ford E 150 Econoline Chateau Van showing 57,689 miles offered by Gas Monkey Garage.
This extremely clean and solid example of the 3rd Generation Ford Econoline Chateau Van is perhaps the nicest example you'll ever find available today. It has been well cared for and maintained throughout the years and remains largely original and un restored. While it is in remarkable condition, it is not perfect, there are a few blems on the paint (see all 100+ pics) and the Drivers seat bottom cover is worn and should be an easy repair or restoration.
Exterior photos show a solid body that shows well with nice glossy paint and brilliant trim and chrome bumpers that present well.
The interior is very good condition with nice wall panels lining the cargo area, a clean and solid headliner and nice flooring. The passenger seat is in good condition and would serve as a replacement for the drivers seat, an accurate template for restoring the worn drivers seat or you could upgrade both seats to newer style van seats, you decide. The dash is in good condition with the woodgrain trim in good condition and showing well. The original AM radio is present and still works, however the control lever for the HVAC is inoperable for unknown reasons.
Under hood is the largely original engine which has had maintenance items replaced throughout the years as a well maintained Van would have.
Underside pics reveal a solid chassis with superficial rust present on most components.
While this 1976 Ford E 150 Chateau Van does run and drive well, it will need to be completely inspected and serviced before any extended driving to ensure safety and reliability (due to our filming schedule we cannot perform any additional work on this van or build it for you). The winning bidder may have the option of coming to the shop to pick up the van.
If you're looking for one of the cleanest 3rd gen Econoline Vans available today, you won't find a better example that's priced to sell! This would be perfect for Cruise Night, Advertising and Promotional use or as a kick ass addition to your collection, you decide!
