CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER
A 13-window, 6-door, Robins Egg Blue Ford E-100 302 Shorty.. is rare in ANY condition. This survivor draws attention and gets many compliments. It is in relatively nice condition because it's an original New Mexico vehicle (dry climate), with a mere 3-owner history.Blue Castle Automotive in Albuquerque, NM, has completed most of the mechanical work on the vehicle for current owner.SummaryThis vehicle originally spent it's life in dry Albuquerque, NM, an now resides in even drier southern New Mexico. This treasure was purchased by the current owner in 2013 when a restoration of mechanical components was begun, including the professionally rebuilt engine. Many other components were checked, restored and replaced as needed including the upgraded electronic ignition.As seen in the images, bodywork has not been carried out, rust is evident around the wheels and lower body areas. The vehicle has had minor hits on the front driver & passenger corners, which have not been repaired. The rebuild project stalled at around 2015 when the owner purchased a small farm in rural southern NM. Structurally and mechanically the van is in strong, survivor condition.The vehicle drives nicely. Engine is very strong and transmission is sound. Manual steering & brakes provide the vintage feel of the early vehicles. Paint is ORIGINAL, highly desirable Ford “Robins Egg Blue” showing a highly desirable patina. The driver and passenger seats are the originals - the optional bench seat is not original yet is very convenient when camping as it folds down into a bed. The van is as intended - useful, fun, and super groovy.
