I am glad somebody saved this van!!!!!!
I will bet the engine is not as bad as what the seller claims.
The work I see done on the rear doors is very well done.
I hope it makes it to its new home safely and thew restoration work can begin.
Hopefully we will see this van at van events again....
......Wookee The engine was tight and I couldn't turn it but I am going to try to get it running before I go the crate motor route. The engine has some goodies on it...headers, aluminum intake and an edelbrock carburetor. Hopefully I can loosen it up and get it running. As far as the move...it will be coming down on a rollback truck. I am a little concerned with loading/unloading with the fiberglass flares and spoiler but the chin spoiler and front flares are pretty broken up right now and need to be replaced. The body work on the rear doors, the frenched antennas and the window angles on the front doors seem to be done very well. The rear doors are metal on the lower half and a modified J & J door on top.
