Rare 1985 Ford Econoline Van Auctioned
Vans are typically used very intensively, so finding a 40-year-old model in near-perfect condition is a true rarity. This 1985 Ford Econoline E-250 XL looks as if it just drove out of the showroom. Except for minor scratches and slight bumper damage, the car’s condition can be called ideal.
The car is painted in a light beige color and features a simple but original interior: vinyl seats, floor mats of the same shade, and minimalistic trim. Driver comfort is limited to the presence of heating and an AM/FM radio. Under the hood is a 5.8-liter carbureted V8 that sends power to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission.
This van is a real find for collectors. Its condition and mileage make it a unique specimen that you are unlikely to come across again.
Despite the Ford Econoline being a popular commercial vehicle, preserving it in such a condition is an incredible achievement. Low mileage and careful use have allowed this model to remain practically new for decades. Such a find is a reminder that even ordinary work vehicles can become true rarities.
