1973 Ford Other

Additional Info:

• This is a structurally and mechanically sound Ford Econoline Van built on the sought-after E-300 1-ton chassis. This vehicle features a verified camper conversion by Open Road Industries, Inc., a premier name in 1970s RV manufacturing and a proud member of the Trailer Coach Association.

• Chassis: Heavy-duty E-300 platform with an 7,000 GVWR for superior stability.
• Powertrain: 302 CID V8 engine paired with a robust 3-speed automatic Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
• Authenticity: Retains original coachbuilder badging and period-correct technical layout.

• Includes the original Open Road layout: kitchenette with stove, sink, and furnace. Ideal for a collector seeking an "underappreciated survivor" for a period-correct restoration.

It is being Sold as a "highly original" virtually unmodified survivor. It is licensed, runs well and has a clear title. Odometer reads 13600. We are the second owners and this van was used by a couple every summer to vacation on the Central Coast of California. I used it for camping and surfing. All appliances operate. Electrical, water and propane all working. It includes a shower/porta potty closet. You need to acquire your own porta-potty.
