THAT is a cool econoline.... I don't think I would wanna sit that far forward in a thing like that, with a hot engine. Imagine if you hit somethin. Your legs become the crumple zone... cool nonetheless though. I had a buddy in Highschool with a flat black econo, dropped a 302 in it, was freakin badass. Can't imagine a 460 in one of those...

My dad had one of those brand new. Couldn't keep pistons in one piece kept breaking.

Very cool. Hard to find one of those in that kind of shape. They were always severely underpowered, i would think the 460 would take care of that nicely.
He doesn't say anything about power steering, so I imagine it steers like the Queen Mary, scary thought with that kind of power.

imagine if someone hit you head on @ 70mph.
my right leg was the crumple zone, the 302 landed right on it. i still like the old vans though, not afraid to ride or drive in them.

With the back empty like that, I bet it could be the king at a burnout contest. :lol:

I thought the station bus models had side doors on both sides. They also made no-side-door versions too (no doors on either side). I guy that was a year ahead of me in high school had a no-side-door eco-line, and NO side or rear-door windows! That was the ultimate van-in type van! Wish I could find one of those. I saw a Dodge A-100 van with no side doors or windows in a 'yard down here once, so they made 'em that way too. It was loaded with Olds 442 parts!
