This is a 90" wheel base window van. It has been repainted once. It was originally from California and has never seen road salt. There is absolutely NO undercarriage or rocker rust. It has a tiny amount on the A pillars and some in the drip rail around the roof edge. It is very fixable. I also have a spare front floor section and a bunch of other extra parts.

The van is not running currently. The doghouse is removed and the engine is out. I have a low-mileage (34K original miles) Slant Six 225 out of a '74 Duster that has been gone through already. It is on an engine stand and ready to go in.

I have several transmissions that go with the van. I have a 727 and a short tailshaft kit that's still in the crate. I also have the 904 from the Duster and an A745 3spd Heavy Duty manual transmission. I've swapped an automatic column into the van from a donor, and converted the pedal cluster. I still have the manual linkages, column, and pedals, however. I have the dash shifter and cable to finish the auto conversion. I also have a brand-new torque converter in the box, as well as another good one with a drain plug.

The stock radiator was replaced with a new 3-core high performance aluminum radiator and an air-dam was added between it and the belly pan to improve cooling. I also added a thermostatically controlled electric fan for additional cooling. I have a new stock radiator with a built-in transmission cooler as well.

I have multiple intake manifolds and carburetors that go with the van, a good stock single-barrel setup, a new water heated Clifford intake manifold, a new Weber progressive carb and a Holley 2BBL carb.

I have a good stock cast exhaust manifold as well as a set of Clifford headers. The van has a new custom 2.5" dual-exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers and chrome tips.

I have a factory points ignition setup, a good Pertronix ignition system, and a brand new Mopar orange box ignition system as well.

The front shocks were just replaced with new KYB gas-a-just units. The suspension and steering have all new bushings and are nice and tight. It has all been gone through.

The gas tank has been cleaned and re-lined. The fuel gauge works. (as do all the other gauges.) An extra dash cluster and chrome bezel is included. (With an oil pressure gauge instead of the warning light.)

The bumpers are straight, front and rear. It also has a fiberglass visor and a roof rack.

The door and window seals were replaced, as well as the windshield rubber and glass.

The van was running and driving last summer; it shouldn't take much to get it back on the road. All of the extra bits listed above go with the van. I'm sure there is a ton I'm forgetting, if you have questions, ask. I have a clear title in hand.

I'm currently working on a '51 Dodge pilot house pickup project, and I'd be interested in relevant trades. (Trucks, parts, engines, etc...) I may be interested in other stuff too, feel free to throw it out there.

I'm also open to trading for a clean complete running early hemi engine. Thanks.

The van is currently in my friend's shop... he's shutting the garage down and moving to Vermont. This *has* to go. I'm open to trades for anything that is decent and moves under it's own power. I'd prefer 40's-50's Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, DeSoto, or VW, but I'm open to other offers.

I've put quite a lot of money into the van and it comes with lots of extra stuff. It's a really good deal if you have a little bit of time and space to drop the engine in, or if you just want to resell or part it out.

I need to get it out of there and I don't want to see all of this stuff go to the shredder. Make me an offer!
