I came across this listing on govdeals.com the other day, and it caught my attention because it's something that might interest a lot of people who love old trucks or need a reliable work vehicle. Here’s what I found:

There’s a 2003 Ford Econoline former ambulance listed for auction. It's been converted into a tool truck, which makes it a pretty unique find. The description says it runs and drives well given its age, but there are some visible signs of wear like rust and small dents. The interior is okay, not perfect, but functional. It has 126,200 miles on it, which isn’t bad considering its history.
The auction ends on May 3rd at 1:48 PM Eastern Time, with just over three days left as of now. There’s an automatic extension if someone places a bid in the last few minutes, so be prepared for that. Currently, there have been 23 bids placed, and the highest bidder is listed as “m***********9.†The current bid stands at $2,875, but the minimum bid required to win is set at $2,900. Each bid increases by increments of $25.
There’s also a buyer’s premium of 12.5%, and taxes will need to be handled according to the payment instructions provided. The starting bid was only $500, which is incredibly low for a vehicle like this, especially one with such a strong engine—a 7.3L V8 OHV 16V Turbo Diesel. For those who know engines, that’s a solid powerplant, even for its age.
Now, here’s the thing—this vehicle has definitely seen better days aesthetically. Rust and minor dings are noticeable, but they’re par for the course with any vehicle that’s been around for nearly two decades. Still, the fact that it’s running well is a huge plus. If you're handy with repairs or looking for a project car, this could be worth checking out.
Attached are some photos I found online (not from the actual listing). They give you a good idea of the exterior and interior condition. From what I can tell, the body shows its age, but the engine looks robust enough to keep going for a while longer if maintained properly.
I hope this helps anyone searching for a classic truck or work vehicle. Let me know if you decide to place a bid—I’d love to hear how it goes!
