1965 Ford Econoline Falcon Station Bus 3-Speed

This 1965 Ford Econoline Falcon Station Bus was repainted in white in 2019, according to the seller, who purchased the van in 2026. Power is provided by a 170ci inline-six linked to a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission and a 7.25″ rear axle. Inside, the front bucket seats and the second- and third-row seats are trimmed in blue vinyl and accompanied by a dash-mounted compass, a dash-mounted fan, and an AM radio with an eight-track player. Additional equipment includes dual side mirrors, rear and right-side cargo doors, tinted windows, and U.S. Mags 15″ slotted alloy wheels. This Econoline Falcon van is now offered with a Connecticut registration document in the seller’s name.

Originally blue, the van was repainted in Wimbledon White in 2019, according to the seller.  Features include round headlights with half-moon bezels, egg-crate headlight surrounds, tinted glass, chrome bumpers, left- and right-side cargo-area windows, right-side cargo doors, rear cargo doors with windows, and dual side mirrors.

Slotted U.S. Mags 15″ alloy wheels were mounted to the van under current ownership and are wrapped in 225/60 Toyo Extensa tires. The van is equipped with solid front and rear axles with leaf springs, and stopping power is provided by drum brakes at all four corners.

The front bucket seats and second- and third-row benches are upholstered in Medium Blue vinyl, and the front seats wear aftermarket saddle-blanket-style covers over the worn upholstery. Appointments include a dash-mounted compass, a dash-mounted fan, and an AM radio with an under-dash eight-track cassette deck.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 78k miles.

The 170ci inline-six is mounted under a cover between the bucket seats and was factory rated at 105 horsepower and 158 lb-ft of torque. A Champion aluminum radiator is installed, and the seller notes the oil and filter were changed in July 2026.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission.
