This van is a fantastic and it breaks my heart to part with it. I've been lusting after a custom Tradesman like this for years... Rounded grill, round lights, custom paint. A super rare custom factory big block 400 by "Grand Systems". 67,000 original miles. Garaged by it's original owner and only driven on special occasions for nearly 25 years. It's never seen a road in the winter. Stepping into this van is a trip back in time! Tow your hot rod with it, use it as a movie prop, drive it cross country, take it to cruise night, win trophies, live in it, be a surf bum, attract the ladies. It doesn't get much better than this. Pure awesome. I bought this van for my band to go back and forth to local gigs. I am the 3rd owner and have only owned it for a few months and put less than 2000 miles on it. I've babied it the whole time, and it turns many heads and starts lots of conversations. It's been a great marketing tool for the band and we've used its image on posters, stickers and other promotional materials. When not in use, I've kept it garaged or covered at all times. The only reason we are selling it is because we need something more cargo-oriented that we can drive in the winter.

Very close to mint, very clean.Very clean undercarriage. No rust. Amazing! All this stuff works! Passed MA State inspection in August with no issues! Considering it's age, it would be really hard to find a custom van in this great condition with so few miles. Three very minor condition issues that I am aware of:1. There are exterior blemishes like scuffs, scratches and some pitting in the paint and custom fiberglass. There are a few small spots of surface rust on the passenger side panel and one small rust hole (pictured). All of these blemishes would buff / wax out or be easy repairs without effecting the custom paint.2. The housing for custom interior lighting strip is made out of some kind of plastic that is brittle and has contracted and cracked in places. This doesn't change the effect or the mood of the lighting and I'm sure the cracks could be easily repaired.3. Either the cruise control doesn't work, or I can't figure how to use it properly. Included is all of the original paperwork. Invoice, options sheet, custom color sheet, etc. (Pictured) Awesome, awesome, awesome! Shipping & Pickup Pick-up for free locally!
