This little cutie has stolen our hearts. We are hoping that she is still available and that the current owners are still traveling to give us even more time to scratch up a bit extra cash for our offer. Check out the pictures as well as the description below. Just don't you snatch her from us *waggles finger at you*
We are listing our beloved Betsy! She has been our home away from home for the past 4 months. We have traveled 20000km through Canada, Alaska and the USA in that time and she has been more then comfortable to live in. Apart from her retro good looks and the pull out awning, inside there's a 3 way fridge, 2 burner propane stove, toilet, microwave, electric pump for water and a sink and a propane furnace. She sleeps two comfortably but can sleep four. Unlike a lot of vans her size, you can comfortably stand up inside! Everything works well and she has been looked after. The previous owner bought her from Quebec and spent over $5000 getting her up to a Standard for a BC registration. All new shock absorbers, front end steering and bushings. New driveshaft and Uni joints. Rear wheel bearings and breaks and brake lines. Since we've owned her she has a rebuilt carburettor, new king pins on the steering, front wheel bearings have been regreased and a new alternator installed. All work has been done by a qualified mechanic. Everything is included in sale, bedding, cooking utensils, tools, etc. You can live or travel in her right away!At the moment we are travelling in the van through California but given the right buyer we can drive her back up to BC or you can continue the adventure and we will meet you somewhere suitable.
The Ford E-Series (also known as the Ford Econoline and Ford Club Wagon throughout various stages of its production) is a line of full-size vans (cargo van and passenger van) and truck chassis (cutaway van and stripped chassis) from the Ford Motor Company. Introduced for the 1961 model year as the replacement for the panel van body style of the Ford F-Series, the Ford E-Series has been produced in four distinct generations. After the F-Series and the Australian Ford Falcon, it is the third longest-produced nameplate by the company worldwide.
Besty is a 1987 Third generation (1975–1991)
During the 1970s, the Econoline became popular as a basis for van conversions. Using the sparsely-equipped Econoline cargo van as a basis, a luxurious interior was fitted, along with extensive customization of the exterior.

Sadly Betsy is in Mexico and won't be coming to Vancouver. We don't have the spare time to go over and get her. Hopefully she finds a loving family.
