What the Vuck?

Today's pick is a 1961 Ford Econoline "truck" - but like an El Camino is a "cruck", this is a "vuck". I've always liked these, and think they are really sharp.


This one isn't restored, instead it's mildly "custom" with 50 louvers on the tailgate, 1982 corvette seats, and some sort of tube TV in the dash.

He doesn't say what the wheels came off of, but they are not original.















While it's not original, it looks well put together, if a bit dated. I'm not familiar with what the market is for these, but he is asking $9995, right at the top end of our "limit" for the blog.

It certainly looks like a hoot to drive.
The drivetrain was pulled out of a Thunderbird, and the 302 motor it's rocking should give it enough get up and go to make it more exciting than you want.










 This isn't one I'm daring myself to buy, but I do like these, and if you want to have a crowd around you at the shows, this 1961 Econoline would certainly get the job done, and help you get the real job done when you need to haul stuff from Home Depot.
