Description
1989 Ford Econoline Club Wagon XLT "Time Capsule": original, unrestored, extremely sound (imported from California over a year ago) and well maintained. Well equipped and perfectly functional. The interior is extremely well preserved. CarFax blank. Vehicle inspected before purchase by Rumbler in 2023. Ready to go: French Collection registration document in the name of the vendor and valid MOT less than 6 months old. An Econoline van in its top-of-the-range Club Wagon XLT finish with Quad Captain Chairs configuration (4 swivelling high-comfort seats) and rear bench seat that folds down into a King Size bed. This is the ideal companion for travellers and large families who like the comfort of a living room. The vehicle is very well equipped (electric windows, front/ rear air conditioning, cruise control, AM/ FM/ K7 radio with digital display) and everything is functional for travelling in great comfort. Unheard of on a van from 1989! Its 5. 0L V8 fuel injection - the famous 302 ci - combined with its automatic gearbox gives it a level of operating flexibility comparable to a Ford saloon of the same era. Less common than a Conversion Van, it also has the advantage of being much lower, giving it access to more restricted areas. This example, imported from California in 2023, is in a rare state of preservation for a vehicle that has never been restored. Its attractive two-tone paintwork still has a very nice sheen and the interior appears to have been well cared for. The chassis and floorboards are extremely sound - a nugget among the Econolines still on the road! The current owner has carried out the final necessary work, namely changing the 4 tyres, a noisy pulley tensioner, the water pump, the steering rods and the rear exhaust silencer. This Ford Econoline had already undergone a pre-purchase inspection by me before my customer bought it in October 2023. He is selling it because he no longer has suitable storage space.
