This is a real NO RESERVE auction. Please bid for the chance to own it. I hope that listing it on my business website will help ensure you that this is a honest auction - I would not risk getting a negative rating with my business reputation on the line. Please read the entire listing description as I took the time to make it accurate and ask any questions. This is a great and very unique single owner dodge van. I will be uploading Video of the van to help with seeing the condition with no questions. It is a real good driver and to prove it I will offer drive the van to any location in the continental usa (to the nearest airport where I will fly home from) for the end auction bid and an additional $1100 for cost of gas, hotels, and my plane ticket home (maybe less if your not accross the country). Payment in full required before I hit the road. The van gets tons of looks and thumbs up everywhere I go with it. This is a rare 3/4 ton SWB dodge van. Color is a factory burnt brownish burgandish orangeish color tone. It was repainted factory color in 1991. Has not seen many miles since then, maybe a 10k miles. The interior is mint perfect - finished with 4 captains chairs and rear fold down bed -typical conversion style, all interior walls, ceiling and doors are finished. The interior was redone in 1991 by Customs Creations a professional conversion company that does factory conversions it is perfect, no rims tears or damage. Exterior is burgandy color and has fiberglass fender flares with some cracking in the paint (70s built) and has conversion windows, has some rust and typical wear from 35 years of use. Few scratches here and there and couple of the flares has a crack. See pics, it is nothing serious. 91,000 ORIGIONAL miles and has been stored winters always, starts runs and drives nice and smooth. The choke sets perfect even in the zero degree weather. Shifts perfect. All the door locks unlock and lock with the keys. The originoal 360 starts right up with one pump to set the choke, after that a single tap put choke to 1/2 choke, then another and its off - just like it should. There is no smoke or leaks, 727 shifts great, no leaks. Has tow package. No ticks or knocks or vibrations or funny bussiness. Factory Air Condtioning but will need a charge, has cruise control (factory) but is not working, Origional 70s Craig Radio cassette and speakers. I just put a set of restored Detroit Vintage Wheels Mickey Tompson slot mags (rear) and ET IV (front) these are origional 70s vintage wheels that have been CNC LASER GUIDED machined and powdercoated...with new firestone firehawk indy 500 raised white letter tires. $1600 on the set - Barrett Jackson quality and better than new. Rears are 275/60 on 8.5" rims, fronts are 255/60 on 7.5" rims. They have less than 50 miles since being installed for the photos. If you bring your own set of wheels/tires you can have the van or 1200 less than the final auction price. $600 in new parts have been purchased and are new in the box and come with the van: Front Brake Calipers, pads, Rotors, wheel bearings, & brake flex hoses, fuel filter, all 3 engine belts, upper and lower Rad hoses, Spark plugs, wires, Cap Rotor, coil, air filter, pcv filter, Front and rear shocks, and more. All parts are premium, photos of reciepts are shown below. None of these parts need to be replaced now - but they are all the maintance that will be required. I figured the new buyer would rather do this him/herself. As it sits now, it has been driven with no problems almost daily. You can have it for $1200 less without the rims and tires after the auction ends if you do not like the slots on it and do not want to pay for them. You will need to bring your own! It is a real good driver and to prove it I will offer drive the van to any location in the continental usa (to the nearest airport where I will fly home from) for the price listed and an additional $1100 for cost of gas, hotels, and my plane ticket home (maybe less if your not accross the country). Payment in full required before I hit the road. Obviously there is no warrenty on the van but I am willing to bet on its enough to say I will drive it anywhere as is, just get in and go. 248.890.2504 with any questions.

Starts quick in any weather with 1 pump to set the choke, About half the time after sitting for a week or so, or in cold weather, the engine will stall in just a few seconds, it starts right up after without touching the pedal and idles perfect on choke - as you will see on the video. The long videos above took forever to load up to youtube, so i took short ones. Video (you may need to cut and paste them into your address bar): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4icka9BUro About 1 1/2 to 2 minutes of idle at choke (you can actually see the date time stamp on the video's name)...one tap of the pedal takes it to half choke idle... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg7dKhdbd4Q About 2-3 minutes later...a second tap of the pedal takes it to idle at about 650-700rpm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSZR1hwwc7g After this in this cold weather I still let it heat up until the heat starts blowing warm before driving it. On the warmer days I usually start driving a lot sooner than these start up steps. When warm it starts easily with no pump or half pump as needed. hope this all helps.
