Van is ready to rock and roll and drive anywhere you want to go right now. 318 engine. Clear Texas title in my name, plates do not go with the van. No rust problems. Doors open and close like new. Lots of new mechanical parts, lots of new cosmetic stuff and lots of original cool stuff too. 36k miles on the odometer and I assume it is 136k because it looks like original miles. Starts with a bump of the starter, runs and drives awesome at any speed. Comfortable freeway cruiser. Good and even compression on all cylinders. transmission perfect including upshifting, 2 original keys that fit all locks and a cool keychain.
BRAND NEW MECHANICAL STUFF:
Gearbox, tie rods, center link, sleeves, etc. Brake pads, rubber brake lines, rotors, master cylinder and brake booster. Battery, starter, voltage regulator, electronic control module, ballast resistor, coil. plugs and wires, carburetor and gas tank sending unit, vacuum lines, radiator hose, thermostat, front windshield, new “US Mag” slot mag wheels, Cooper Cobra tires with maybe 1000 miles on them, lug nuts and lock nuts, spare tire cover, dual exhaust, glass packs and side exhaust tips, heater core. A lot of parts were not broken when I replaced them so I kept them in a bag under the rear seat as road side replacements (AKA ballast resistors!).
NEW COSMETIC STUFF: Dashboard hula girl! Roof paint, carpet (just laid over original vintage carpet that is “OK”), fridge cabinet with new electrical and plumbing, fridge, sink, faucet, lighted “Get Lucky” sign, misc decor and bedding including electric blanket, cool RV chair, Custom cedar drink stand, plastic wood style drawers, window tint, curtains and electric space heater. Also comes with two matching silver vintage style chairs for car shows and some board for leveling when camping.
VINTAGE ORIGINAL COOL STUFF: Original custom paint, all dash gauges working, working lighted tachometer, rear window louvers, Roof Rack, Ladder, trailer hitch, working 7 pin connector, spare tire holder with good spare, swivel captains chairs, vintage floor mats, custom wall panels and door panels, lights in rear (need to be wired up), overhead console with cassette player that works great, 6 speakers all working, rear bed is mint condition and folds into couch, fiberglass front windshield visor, door window rain guards, fog lights (not working) new in box fog lights will be included. Full dash gauges and all work. This is an Air Conditioning van which is rare, the AC does need to be fixed BUT all the components are there, the belt is even on the compressor that spins freely! Has non-working cruise control but it is all there too.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The van is not perfect! There are little knick knack things list to do to finish it out but the van is as represented in the photos and video. There is a very tiny amount of rust above the passenger exhaust as seen in the pic, that’s it! An exhaust donut gasket leaks where you can hear it a little bit. Door weatherstripping is there but is old and dry in some places and some windows leak a very little when you put high pressure water to it at the car wash or a very hard rain. No rust problems though!!

Think ahead before you bid. Be prepared to come get the van with cash in hand. If you need to ship the van, I will be glad to drop the van off at DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers) shipping hub in Mesquite, TX (I've used them many times). but cash must still arrive somehow, someway, directly into my hands before it leaves my possession.
