I am happy when people like you give another chance to vehicles that for many people were not important. How I wish I had the resources to be able to rescue and give life to a car that is forgotten in time in some land.
I could smell that van through my TV screen! Thank you guys for what you put yourselves through to bring us good quality enjoyable entertainment! Looking forward to the next one.
As a lover of vintage vans I want to thank you guys for your efforts! I know It took you guys a lot of effort to save that old econoline! Thanks for sharing!
Well Lance i think that is BS!, you bought the van, paid him cash for it , then he want everything inside, i been in the junk car bissness for 50 yrs, you better have it cleaned out, once your paid its mine, at least he got his RATS too. GOOD VID
That was the deal in the first episode. The stuff inside doesn’t go with the van, and they do the work digging them out. Deal is a deal, and they got a good deal on the cars. I’d dig them out for that price too. Plus the RUclips content.
The old guy told them before they shook on a price that the van had other vehicle parts that they needed to get out. Go watch the video and you will see
I seen that van and it reminded me of my first car. I had a 1970 Econoline 300, it was rusted, but you couldn't kill the 302 that was in it. I had it for a couple years and then sold it. Keep saving the vintage cars and trucks and thank you for reminding me of my youth.
When that saw blade hits the dirt, it dulls the chain. I really loved those old vans from the 70s, they did so much to them to customize them. Can't wait to see what you guys do with this one.
Well guys regardless vans condition I would rather see someone like you trying to salvage or salvage something usable Then seeing it being crashed hey thanks guys for all the hard work and sweat to give us entertainment it’s much appreciated here in Maine
Newer subscriber. This is only the 2nd video I have watched but very cool save. I am a long time van fan so is neat you took the time to dig this Econoline out of the bushes. I also really like that Hudson you had to get past.
i always love watching all of your videos a way a father and son getting along with each another on the video is so cool and your daughter filming is pretty good what she do
Back in the summers of '88 to '91, I went to a camp called Shibley in Nassau county New York. They used some old buses, first and second-gen Econolines, and 70s Dodge Tradesmans. They did have newer Chevys, GMC's, Fords and Dodges, plus some big Diesel Internationals. Very good camp. Two kart tracks, four giant swimming pools, miniature golf and so forth.
Man, you guys have guts and grace to even think of removing a forgotten vehicle like that. Your reward will be great when you get it running. Love the video guys, keep em coming.
If you cut your grass and find a car... My kids dont necessarily understand why I like the old cars. But when you compare the plastic stuff they build today to how long these old cars lasted; and how often you guys get them back to life with just a bit love and effort.... I VERY MUCH appreciate you guys digging them out their graves and bringing them back to life! I wish I had the skills and funds!
hi there guys its great to see you back at it doing what you do best ive missed your videos good to see your all well keep the faith guys , cannot wait till the next one all the best
Cant wait to see you get this one going and also pressure wash it. I can smell the little Econoline from here in the UK! I think you might have to wash it before you try to get it started. Good Effort guys you really dug this one out!
I bought mine when I was 15 for $400 it was a 74 flat nose short box, it was totally customized inside (70’s style of course, all brown crushed velvet, bed, wet bar. 3 windows only, aside from the tear drops on the side at the back, both driver and passenger window had etchings of the bald eagle with an American banner and holding arrows. I drove it home after school, the next day when I went to school I had talked to the shop teacher as it had a cracked block, all I had to do was get another engine from the wrecker and the students Were going to swap engines as a school project (at no cost to me other than the motor) so I went home all excited, only to find out my father had gone back to the guy and told him to take it back. I was so dissatisfied, but they are so hard to find now especially with only three windows. I’m sure they welded steel to replace the back two windows but normally when I come across them they have windows all down the sides or they are camper vans.
I gotta say his dad's got some @#$! arms on him to push those vehicles like he does. He's about my age so he has inspired me to go get a gym membership and get back into shape. Thank you .
I used to be subscribed to your channel and somehow got unsubscribed. I just found it again and have been binge watching. I’d love to see that Hudson on the road. That’s an amazing car. You guys have a better eye than I do. I would never have taken on this one.
You guys want another one,got one in n.m. srface rust 69 clubwagon 240 atomatic 3_4 ^ton dr sidr reear corner messd up dad backed into basket ball pole at church other than that pretty straight
First sort of modern Van with with the engine in front instead of between the seats. My 68 Dodge was always too hot to enjoy except it had more leg room.
My dad had this same van, a 1971 Ford Econoline, white, We drove the Alaskan Highway from Illinois, the 3 of us, ( my dad, brother, and myself) back in 1974 when it was gravel!!!!!!! it was the greatest van with a 302 V-8
No way would I have taken that even if it was free, you guys need to keep a big bottle of dish soap in your trailer box and squirt it on the trailer when dragging stuff on, makes the job so much easier. Be Blessed
I'm right there with ya.... body is a disaster. Interior even worse.... with rats still active, it would have been a hard pass, even if i were paid. I hope they are able to work their miracles like I've seen them do in the past, and make it a successful restore.
All the best to them on this one. Prior owner wanted parts out of it hahahahaahahhaha. The scrap money isn'r worth near all that work they put into getting that out. God bless them though.
We had the 73' . It was converted from a work van into a conversion, long before conversion vans were a thing. My dad carpeted the floor and top half of the interior, and used paneling half way up the walls. He built benches along the back sides and in front of the back doors for storage. He installed a post mount on the floor, and made a platform with another post mount underneath. It converted from bed to table. If you removed the cushions from the bed, they then became the seat backs for the benches when it was set up like a table. It had a bar style half fridge behind the driver seat, a curtain to close for sleeping, a black and white TV. And to top it off, he lined the walls and ceiling with beer ad mirrors. It had black circle dome windows on the back walls, and a cranck vent in the rear roof. In the front the roof had a smoked roof lover window. He had a company decal the sides, and they painted the Keystone Classics all white. With a fade in center of ice blue. The center caps were kept chrome with the logo still on them. There were plus plaid curtains in the back doors, with black lovers on the outside of the back windows. The back passenger door has the spare tire on a door rack, with a cover on it which was black. He painted a shadow image of Charlie Chaplin on it. He did all this to in in 1976. His dad gave him the van in December of 1974. Great times we had in that thing!
Y'all sure do manage to find some doozies. This project seemed very challenging, but y'all just take it all in stride and deal with each problem as it arises with patience & perseverance. My hat's off to you guys...or you fellers, as Derek from VGG would say. 😉🙂

Great guys so refreshing to hear your voices .Good clean conversations. LOVE YOUR SHOW.GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU
Love listening to Lance’s soothing voice. Reminds me of Bob Ross. And I LOVE Bob Ross.
I love the positivity and teamwork. If I bought this, my Dad woulda got back in the truck and drove off leaving me standing there.
Thets a sick van and I'm not a Ford guy but those Ford vans are nice are guys bringing it to life
You are so blessed to have your dad
in your life.
This is so true

Bought a 74 Econoline in the summer of 1977 and drove it for years. Lots of good memories.
Wow Christian, I do believe that your filming talent gets better and better with each passing video, keep up the great work!
She definitely has a marketable skill if she chooses to pursue it.
@@madmex2k she absolutely does,God love this young woman!
As a lover of vintage vans I want to thank you guys for your efforts! I know It took you guys a lot of effort to save that old econoline! Thanks for sharing!
as a DIEHARD Ford LOVER - thank you for rescuing this jewel. I know it will be gorgeous when it is restored!
Well Lance i think that is BS!, you bought the van, paid him cash for it , then he want everything inside, i been in the junk car bissness for 50 yrs, you better have it cleaned out, once your paid its mine, at least he got his RATS too. GOOD VID
He should have paid them. They took care of a significant amount of his brush problem for free.
I agree. He cleared out the brush for the guy in order to get the van out. Then the guy wants the stuff inside. Total B.S.
That was the deal in the first episode. The stuff inside doesn’t go with the van, and they do the work digging them out. Deal is a deal, and they got a good deal on the cars. I’d dig them out for that price too. Plus the RUclips content.
The old guy told them before they shook on a price that the van had other vehicle parts that they needed to get out. Go watch the video and you will see
Old Wyatt's pretty tough!!!
as a long-time vanner, I'm excited and looking forward to seeing the restoration of this Econoline. :)
I seen that van and it reminded me of my first car. I had a 1970 Econoline 300, it was rusted, but you couldn't kill the 302 that was in it. I had it for a couple years and then sold it. Keep saving the vintage cars and trucks and thank you for reminding me of my youth.
Prayers boys you have lots of obstacles coming against ya

It's not the rustyous car we ever bought but I put it in the top two. That comment alone was worth me watching
YOU GUYS ARE GREAT !!!! THATS A BAD OLD FORD,,.. G--D BLESS!!
This was the one I was looking forward to the most.
When that saw blade hits the dirt, it dulls the chain. I really loved those old vans from the 70s, they did so much to them to customize them. Can't wait to see what you guys do with this one.
I service and work on saws and seeing it hit the the dirt really got me
@@drewpage8756 I would call that Job security for you

My heart skipped a beat when you was putting the chain on the van and your arm was underneath, stay safe guys

Boy that took some work but well done! Cheers guys from the UK.

Great job! That Hudson seems pretty nice too...
me and alotttttt of ppl would rather see a build series as a restoration back to original
If you cut your grass and find a car...
My kids dont necessarily understand why I like the old cars. But when you compare the plastic stuff they build today to how long these old cars lasted; and how often you guys get them back to life with just a bit love and effort.... I VERY MUCH appreciate you guys digging them out their graves and bringing them back to life! I wish I had the skills and funds!
Why is this so entertaining? I couldn't stop watching!

Brings back memories I took a trip to New York in my old Econoline van. Sometimes I still wish I had it
Thank you guys for the amazing video
Love that Hudson behind the barn!!
Love that van, that was one of my first vehicles, they aren’t that easy to find anymore
I bought mine when I was 15 for $400 it was a 74 flat nose short box, it was totally customized inside (70’s style of course, all brown crushed velvet, bed, wet bar. 3 windows only, aside from the tear drops on the side at the back, both driver and passenger window had etchings of the bald eagle with an American banner and holding arrows.

I get very easily lost in watching you guys's videos. So that must mean the camera work is very well done. Good job Kristen!!
I gotta say his dad's got some @#$! arms on him to push those vehicles like he does. He's about my age so he has inspired me to go get a gym membership and get back into shape. Thank you .
Bless you guys and your witness

Люблю старые Американские Автомобили 👍👍👍
I love these old vans!
Love those early Econolines. Great to see this one saved. 70s style custom van, anyone? Or maybe it should be a "rat" van ;)
um, ive seem some rough ones but this was mesmerizing whooo
I think you should have brought about 6 friends to help dig out all that brush , that's a lot of hard work my friend .
I like your content guys , Big support from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧👍🏿..... I like the way you guys Say Vehicle 😁 sounds sooo Cool 🌞👍🏿

I hope they are able to work their miracles like I've seen them do in the past, and make it a successful restore.
Even as a Ford guy, I wouldnt look twice at that old chomo van
Why .
Because Mr. Chavez, it was ugly when it was new and even if you could get past that it's so far gone it would be too much work to restore.
All the best to them on this one. Prior owner wanted parts out of it hahahahaahahhaha. The scrap money isn'r worth near all that work they put into getting that out. God bless them though.

i enjoy your show guys watch them all. Do alittle restoreing myself.
Bonito trabajo, cuando van por el HUDSON. Saludos
U guys are lucky here in Alabama I would've done been hit by 10 yellow jackets lol
I really hope it will run and drive. Some day good luck my friends and God bless you all.
Thank you very much. And God bless you all. Please let me know it you all get that old school ford van running and driving.
Man, that brought back some memories. I learned to drive on a one lane country blacktop road in a 1969 Econoline.
