Recall issues:
Forward Drum Oil Rings
Very Sensitive 3-2 Downshift at Part Throttle
Slipping Or No Third Gear After Overhaul
Recurrent Sticking Valves/In Line Filters

Thoughts:
I like the blue plates and the fact that here is no air brushed shark on the side. It's hard to tell what's going on due to the low quality pictures. Paint looks good, wheels are shiny and the suspension seems to be sitting nicely. I LOVE the tacky interior. Oh, I just noticed the ROCKSTAR energy drink sticker on the rear window. I was going to say go at it for $4,000, but with that sticker don't go over $3,750.
Seriously, if there is documentation to go along with this seventies classic, adjust your price accordingly. Could be a lot of fun... is that a water bed in the back?

And finally, I just found this on an Econoline forum:
"For Sale--1974 E100--V8 & Automatic, Runs Real Good--Portholes & Sliding Side Door--Chrome Grill--Nice Upholstery Inside, Very Clean--New Battery--Good Tires & Chrome Rims--Will Help With Shipping---$3900"

$3,900!!!
