Description of 1972 Ford E-Series Van Custom 100 |
HISTORY: This is NOT your average stock Econoline E-100 van! The gentleman who meticulously restored this “time capsuled” van was nationally known as a highly respected Ford Car Club Enthusiast. Ford Master Technician. and THE “Ford Tech Tip” Innovator & Book Publisher. Dick Flynn babied and owned this AMAZING van for over 37 years. Unfortunately. Dick passed away and I was the lucky next owner. As you will see in the endless list of upgrades. he always went “over the top” on everything he did to this van… I bought the van 1 year ago. which came with all of the history. hand written records. and 100 plus photos that Dick Flynn took and labelled during his restoration. This van won various Classic Ford Car Club trophies. Some of the meticulous over-the-top details are as follows.

Note: The tires on this van are Good Year Eagle GT+4’s from the early 1990’s. All 4 tires are in good condition. One wheel had a recent nail flat and only the tire was damaged beyond repair. Currently the right rear tire has the full size unmatched spare tire installed. It would probably be a good idea to change out all 4 tires due to the MFG date of the tires. I could not find a new matching Good Year Eagle GT+4 tire with white lettering. so I wanted to allow the new buyer to purchase their choice of next tires. (ie; white/black wall or with lettering). The only reason I am selling the van is because I have too many other vehicles and I would like to pass Dick Flynn’s 70’s legacy on to the next passionate owner that will cherish it just as he did. This van runs and drives great and is road trip ready!! Collector Car Insurance Companies will insure this van for over $10. 00 dollars.
