Im selling my rare gem of a van !
(LOCAL PICK UP ONLY IN ORANGE,CA) NO SHIPPING•
A ford e350 converted by the highly sought after ‘adventurewagen’ van conversion company.
Adventurewagen was essentially the more high end, US version of westfalia. They were converting vw vanagons out of fort bragg ca. for many years (from 60s-90s) until the owner Ed Anderson decided the ford e350 was a much more ideal platform to use for his conversions as they are vastly more reliable than the VW’s.
Unfortunately, they only made a couple hundred of the conversions on the ford platform before Anderson passed away and adventurewagen closed their doors for good. .
So these are very hard to come across which is why they are highly sought after. (Do some research on these! You will see a good amount of the vanagons, which are still rare, but very few of the fords)

ABOUT THE TECHNICAL/MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF THIS VAN ;
•1995 FORD e350 5.8L V8 engine (more reliable than the more recent tritons that spit spark plugs-which is not a cheap repair)
•VERY LOW MILES, 125k !
•ENGINE RUNS GREAT
•AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PERFECT
•THIS IS THE SHORT , NOT LONG VERSION E350 VAN, PARKING IS A BREEZE AND CAN FIT INTO ANY NORMAL PARKING SPOT!
-VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS EVERY SINGLE MAINTENANCE RECORD SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW ON HAND!!!!!! INCLUDING OIL CHANGES , PARTS REPLACED ETC.. (GOOD LUCK FINDING ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THIS LEVEL OF RECORD KEEPING) -OVERALL GOOD CONDITION INSIDE AND OUT -NO ACCIDENTS EVER -CLEAN CARFAX -CLEAN TITLE / CURRENT REGISTRATION -PASSED SMOG WITH EASE -SEATS/INTERIOR VERY CLEAN WITH NO RIPS -AC/HEATER/RADIO/LIGHTS ALL WORK GREAT -POWER WINDOWS, POWER LOCKS, POWER SEATS, AIR FILL LUMBAR SUPPORT ,CAPTAIN CHAIRS -GREAT ALL TERRAIN TIRES WITH PLENTY OF TREAD LEFT -NEW RADIATOR AND RADIATOR HOSES -BRAND NEW BATTERY •-OIL ALWAYS CHANGED ON TIME

ONLY MINOR FLAWS:
-A FEW PITTING/RUST SPOTS ON RAIN GUTTER , PICTURED , QUITE COMMON ON ECONOLINES. -OUTSIDE SLIDING DOOR HANDLE NOT WORKING, SIMPLE FIX JUST NEEDS THE LINKAGE RE-CONNECTED. THE INSIDE HANDLE WORKS SO I JUST REACH AROUND PASSENGER DOOR TO OPEN IT WITH EASE -ABS LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY, MECHANIC SAYS COMMON OCCURRENCE IN FORDS AND JUST AN ERROR WITH THE ACTUAL ABS LIGHT CONNECTION AS THE BRAKES & ABS WORK FINE. -COUPLE MINOR SHALLOW DENTS AND SCUFFS , BELOW AVERAGE WEAR ON A ‘95. WILL TRY AND PICTURE EVERYTHING. -HAD A FIBER GLASS REPAIR PATCH JOB ON FRONT OF HIGH TOP (NOW FIXED AND COMPLETELY WATER TIGHT) Passenger side power lock button works only some of the time (passenger door key lock still functions fine)- sticker residue on rear door , will come off easy enough with goo gone. I dont have the time
I’ve taken this on several long road trips and currently use for daily driving with not a single issue. I was planning to do full time van life but plans changed so have to sell for house rent. Just looking to get back around what i got it for/put into it. .
If you are looking for something super common like a sprinter , transit, with some janky half build out then this probably is not for you. .
This is for someone looking for a really rare and stand out camper van that is 100% ready to go , reliable driver with everything you could ever need for van life , Stealth camping , long road trips and surf journeys!
WOULD PREFER FOR ANYONE INTERESTED TO SEND ME A MESSAGE TO ARRANGE A TIME TO COME CHECK IT OUT IN PERSON BEFORE HAND, TEST DRIVE, MAKE AN OFFER :)
Thanks
