Car I Wished I had Kept!

Yall will laugh, but I had a 1973 Ford Econoline 300 van. Factory 351 4V, PS, PDB, AC, Dana 60 rear. It was a cool little van.

I lived in one of those for awhile when I split up with my first wife.:D
The place I worked was an equipment rental company, so I used the tools and equipment to build a propane fireplace on the fender hump.
It had carpet, paneling, and a stereo so I put a Lazy Boy recliner in it and it was pretty dang comfortable in the middle of winter.
After about 3 weeks I traded it straight across to a family that broke down on the hiway 3-400 miles from home in a freshly rebuilt Willys pickup (1953 I think).
They put the bottom half of the rear main in backwards and it lost oil pressure so the guy pulled over, and I repaired it under a clear plastic tarp in a storm.
All I had was a bike at the time and needed something I could drive to work in without getting wet.
I drove that Willys for years after that.:D
