Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Van Sightings Aerostar???

Found a really clean short wheelbase Aerostar van up the street cheap. Is this a van taboo? Never see them listed. Only reason I am considering is I have a set of big and little draglites 5x4.5 I want to use and it would be different.. opinions, or insults it is all good..let it rip 😎

I have had Friends who owned a few, one a Tile Helper who was Art McFaul's, (Mac)s SIL. As you all know Mac drove Vans as work vehicles exclusively, and he approves the Aerostar. Can't go wrong if it's been Mac approved!

I see no reason why a V6 Ford Aero would not stand up to an Astro comparison. And, it's a Shorty! I'd do it in a heartbeat, always liked the Aeros, and I am not a Ford Guy

I will go after work today and drive it I get off at noon..Thanks Wedgy

As long as you put a 454 in it when you get it home ….lol

I like the shape of those and have seen a few rare panel Shorty Aeros, even with windows they’d be cool.

I personally would love to see a resurgence in some of these cool older smaller vans. Most everything now that’s a small van is so ugly and even these quirky 80s vans had some style, especially when people trick them out.

Put a 460 in it can't crossbreed . frscke1 I will buy your favorite food and beverage if you come help.

Well I went and looked, was going to drive it but owner informed me the transmission shuddered going into second and had no drive🤣 these are things he could have told me on the phone. Well I guess I will keep looking. And I already had plans for it.. lol

Was it worth doing a trans swap or repair?

A friend in the SEVC had one for quite a while. We had a lotta fun kiddin' him about his "Errorstar".....
Used to see 'em at truckins all the time.
