"The contemporary expression van life, popular among young camper enthusiasts, tastefully interpreted and blended with the 1980s small-business van."

Description

It was delivered new to its first owner in Sweden in May 1989. At that time, a luxurious US hi-top van was something many small business owners both dreamed of and realized. However, this particular example seems to have enjoyed enthusiast status fairly early on and does not appear to have seen any significant winter use, judging by how well the body and undercarriage have been preserved. The current owner had his eye on the van a few years ago but missed the chance to buy it. When it later came back on the market, he was quick to purchase it. Today, he has completed what he wanted with the van and now has a new project underway. The most recent approved inspection was carried out on 2024-05-21.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    With a relatively modest output from the V8 at a stated 188 hp, driving is calm and restrained. The engine burbles smoothly at low revs, and the gearbox shifts nicely. No unwanted noises or squeaks from the chassis. The wheels show some damage, and the right front tire wears unevenly on the outer edge. This can be remedied with new tie rod ends, which are included with the car. The winter wheels are actually in better condition (see pictures).

  • Interior condition:

    The current owner had a clear vision for what he wanted to do with the van’s interior, which was somewhat worn in the cargo area. A proper single bed, refrigerator, sink, kitchen counter, secured 220V connection, and a fixed charger were installed. And still, the four comfortable original seats remain. The seats and original carpets are fresh and in good condition, though the latter are sun-faded, mainly around the engine cover inside.

  • Exterior condition:

    Nice paint in original finish, likely partly resprayed on the lower sections, but with no rust repairs. The current owner has had a thorough professional rustproofing treatment carried out, and the car’s excellent sheet metal condition was also an important reason why he bought it.

  • General condition:

    A solid and fun 1980s van with plenty of possibilities, in attractive, good technical, and presentable condition. Well-functioning and practical living space.

Facts about the model

The Ford Econoline (also known as the E-Series) was for a long time one of America’s best-selling vans. By 1989 it was in its third generation (1975–1991), and it was available both as a work vehicle and as a conversion van—often fitted with a high roof (hi-top), plush captain’s chairs, wood paneling, and sometimes even a small TV.

Hi-top versions became almost a subculture of their own in the US during the 1980s and early ’90s—long road trips, family vacations, and camping. In Sweden and Norway, the model also sold well, though customers here didn’t camp as much; more often, they were small business owners who could register them as light trucks.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
