1961 Ford Econoline Pickup Truck - Sound Investment

A Classic Econoline That Stimulates All Of The SensesThis '61 Econoline pickup is owned by Rick Kirk of Ripley, Oklahoma. He's an avid Ford collector and historian. When he bought the truck back in 1969 it was a service vehicle for a plumber. The pickup was painted bright red and it had the back window broken out so that the plumber could haul pipe. The truck was rough but the unusual body style was what Rick had been looking for. Rick was a drag racer back then and the Econoline made for a perfect tow vehicle. He painted it to match his drag car's paint scheme, which was white with blue racing stripes. It was a cool tow rig and soon he began taking the truck to local shows where it generated a lot of interest with its unique body style and 406 Tri-Power FE engine. Then life intervened and the Econoline was parked on the sidelines for 25 years.
