Ford : E-Series Van - eBay (item 220727559187 end time Jan-26-11 20:24:04 PST)

A newer model of this van would be great very versatile and still get descent MPG.

And a 276" wheelbase. Wow.

very nice older van. i do think however, that the 276" wheelbase is a misprint and should have been 176" instead. there is no way there is 23' between the axles.

Seems like a lot of money for a van that old. There's gonna be a big hit on gas mileage at 90 mph with that high top.

That's not even a 176" WB but a 138" WB.

I'm sure there are some small expedite companies or even air freight forwarders or small time logisitics companies that would put that van on as long as it were in good mechanical condition and passed a DOT inspection. *would make a good back up van when one's primary unit is out of service.

Huh?

The problem is the idea with any age requirement is so so outdated and so stupid when you come down to it.

One of the largest carriers in this niche market will take any age van as long as it is safe.

I like how the back doors on the van are also moded to be higher. Of course not near the size of a sprinter but nice solution for a van.

I don't see any reason why this van wouldnt get at least 15 to 16 mpg if you were to keep your foot out of the gas.
