Description

Selling to prepare for cross country move.
Will likely be regularly updating price.

If you're looking for a camper van that sings Tom Petty and Hoizer, makes the best sunrise coffee, and automatically veers toward the coast, Wings is your guy. How about a comfortable sofa / bed conversion, exquisite hardwood interior, and a completely smell-less composting toilet? Why is it named Wings you ask? Because your soul will take a deep breath and smile when you spread your wings and slide into the plush-covered captain's chair in this 1988 Ford E-150. (I know, the metaphor doesn't fit literally, but you get the image, right?) Don't let the age deter you; this vehicle has been completely redone from top to bottom. Interior entirely refinished by a master woodworker, room to sleep two adults, or potentially two adults and one small child (or a four-legged friend), kitchen set up with working stove and sink, a 35-quart Yeti cooler and private toilet area with collapsable curtains. The bench seat pulls out into a bed and the top loft also slides out, making easy beds for you each to have your separate sleeping space. Also, if you want your friends to meet up with you for the day, both the captain's chairs turn around to make a cozy living room seating for four. The vehicle comes equipped with a marine battery and plenty of receptacles for your devices and an exterior shower head connected to a pump and a 18-gallon fresh water tank. The exterior is absolutely iconic, with custom surf racks, and I promise you'll get nods of affirmation and shaka signs until you end your day watching the sunset with some local brews. The mechanics on this vehicle are very well maintained. The engine on it purrs and can handle the open road like a dream. Comfort wise, it doesn't have A/C or cruise control, though the completely re-insulated body (with 100% recycled blue jeans) doesn't need it. It also comes with a $300 full cover to use during the off season.

Recent updates including updates / work includes new alternator, new batteries, replaced right side tie rod, sway bar links and bushings and wheel bearings. Engine is really solid, oil changed regularly, (burns a little less than 1/2 quart every 5000 miles).

This vehicle is old yes- but in top notch mechanical shape. It does come with some quirks (don't we all in our 30's?), but it is absolutely a very quality and strong vehicle. Well worth what I'm asking.
