This 2009 Ford E-250 Sportsmobile EB50 pop-top is one of those rigs that speaks for itself the moment you see it. It shows just 80,927 original Carfax-certified miles, was with its original owner through April 2024, and has clearly been cared for with a level of attention you do not often find in a Sportsmobile of this age.Powered by the Triton V8, this van received a replacement engine only about 2,000 miles ago, with documentation showing roughly $8,000 invested. That kind of recent mechanical work, paired with the overall condition of the van, makes this a very strong example of a well-kept classic Econoline-based Sportsmobile. The pictures are accurate: this one is as clean and as well equipped as it appears.Built on the iconic E-250 chassis, this is the platform many Sportsmobile buyers and 4x4 conversion enthusiasts look for. The classic Ford Econoline has long been the preferred foundation for these builds, and it remains highly respected in the off-road and adventure community. When Ford ended Econoline production in 2015, Sportsmobile continued by adapting cutaway chassis and building their fiberglass-bodied versions of the classic layout, which now command prices around $250,000 and are often backordered. That makes this EB50 an especially desirable candidate for someone who wants the classic look, proven layout, and flexibility of the original platform.This is the popular EB50 floor plan, and it is outfitted exactly the way a serious buyer would want to see it. The original owner equipped it to his own standards with an open checkbook, and the result is a van that feels complete, practical, and thoughtfully built. Inside, it has the Sportsmobile penthouse pop-top with canvas in beautiful shape, along with bunk beds and the original mattresses from Sportsmobile. The main floor features a couch with seatbelts that converts easily into a large bed, giving you a versatile living and sleeping setup.The kitchen is fully equipped with a sink, stove, and microwave, plus plenty of cabinetry and storage throughout. There is also a hidden compartment inside the cabinets, a slide-out pantry, rear basement storage, a furnace, cassette toilet, fresh and gray water tanks, and a refrigerator with freezer. Both front leather swivel seats and the original Sportsmobile table with table mount are still in place. It also has the signature Sportsmobile heavy-duty flooring, so you can load your gear and toys with confidence, along with the original Sportsmobile carpet that can be removed and laid out as needed.Additional features include the door-mounted storage bin with doors that fold down to serve as outside tables or work surfaces, a large awning in great shape, and pop-top windows with curtains that can be rolled up or lowered depending on how much light and privacy you want. Inside, there are plenty of light fixtures, including reading lights, and it also has a very nice radio with a rear-view camera for added convenience.It also comes with the original manuals and binders from both Sportsmobile and Ford, along with a lot of supporting material that adds to the story and value of the van. This is the kind of unit that should be seen in person. It is an eye-catcher, extremely well equipped, and a very honest example of a classic Sportsmobile that has been maintained the right way.
