Features Econoline Madness Who's got one?

Was that a common color on these? I have seen some doors at the wreckingyard that same color.

 

I dont see the yellow as much as I see that light green color.

 

That's a true panel van. Kind of rare.

I've seen green, white, red, and blue, but never yellow. I don't think they came with a lot of color optins being a basic work truck. I think mine was white, but was repainted Earl Schieb blue at some point

 

It looks to be the orignal paint from 1962. It says Goodwill real faint on the rear doors, first I thought it said Goodyear or Goodrich but when I looked real close it does say Goodwill. It also has pipes that run along the roofline inside guess that was to hang clothes on?

 

here's the falcon van i slapped a paint job and wheels on for my girlfriend last winter. nothin fancy.

 

Lucky girl friend! where did you find your interior pannels or were they with the van when you got it?

 

she sure is!

the interior trim came with the van when i got it. it also came with a spare set of trim that i don't need, but it'd be a PITA to ship.

 

WOW! all of this has been a time warp. Had a 65 Falcon window van many years ago. Got it for $150 and drug it home from the hills. It had a 240 six and three speed and a 9 inch rear. Kept plugging away on it and finally dropped in a built 289, a pretty easy swap. Did up the interior had ghost flames on it, took a couple trophies at some van ins, did a lot of road trips and camping in it. Then some drunk 16 yr old in his buddies 66 Buick came screaming up my street on a Friday afternoon. He put the van into my neighbors yard. That really ruined my day. Wish I had another but with two garages full of current oldies to finish I better not look for more toys.

 

If you want to sell it and can come up with some kind of shiping cost send me a PM. I'd love to not have to make all of the interior pieces!

 

A couple updates. Some of the front end parts back on and a cleaned up set of pizza cutters for the front. It'll have 15x10s on the back. later,Bill

 

Might as well throw a couple pics of mine in, thought it was good timing since there is a priceline van thread cookin' right now too. The brotherhood of the van is strong right now... Sold three before I decided this was my keeper, I drive the pure pooh out of this one.

 

Dude that thing is awsome!

 

Thanks man, as is yours....that paint and grill is too cool. I could only budget in the metalflake on my roof and mirrors, can't see it in my pics at all. Will try to post better pics later.

 

Thank you sir. and please do. What color is your flake? is it white?

 

heres my 65 i just picked up.

 

Crook that thing is badass I love that I am not the only one with a van anymore lol.............even though I dont have a econoline I still drive mine everywhere

 

John, The van looks great! Nice job.

Later,Bill

 

would anyone be interested in a Mercury front trim it fits where the FORD letters go but is Canadian Mercury only. First 50.00 takes it will send pics before doing deal so you know what you are getting. P.M. me

 

New pair of shoes and some trim on. Spring is coming!

 

Dude that turned out killer! you need a murel of a spaceship fucking a dragon in a valcano on the side of it now! I love the 70's!

 

nice.. I saw this one for sale... but if I had bought it I dont think I could have brought myself to paint it.

 

I think I'll stick to a satin black for now. I think it has that 70's vibe to it.

Later, Bill

 

Thanks Acrochicken...I've got to get to work on my interior, yours looks awesome!
Fuzzy Bunny my roof is silver flake.
Novatattoo I dig it...love the big 'n little slots, I had a set I was gonna' put on mine, but they turned out to be chevy wheels.

 

Those rims look sweet

I've got 2 and 1/16 Econolines (the 1/16 is just the front end I cut off a rusty one to make a bar out of ;-)

The 2 complete Econolines are for sale in the classifieds section, so take a look if you are looking for one or two

One is an "8 Dooor" and the other is a "No Door"

 

GOD I love these vans! Im still convinced that these vans are the next big thing! The great thing about them is there is no wrong way to go style wise...........its all cool in a cheesey kind of way, isnt that the fun I guess! VANTASTIC!

BRENT
