Vehicle Detail
Up for auction, my prized 1960 IH Metro Van with the sought after short round body style. Runs perfect, Complete new Brake system. They rarely come p for sale this clean-- I have too many of these and need to sell a few-- all the hard work is done, she's ready for head turning in your town!comes with a nice aftermarket seat, or the original, your choice (not shown in pictures)she even comes with the hubcaps and new tires!manual 4 on the floor with original 220 straight six that i personally have driven across the Mojave desert in summertime-- was driving her back to Texas from California when the brakes got squishy so I left her in Las Vegas to get a complete brake system overhaul.the last Metro in this shape sold for $37500 on Ebay. This Metro was professionally restored in San Diego.Clean Texas title-- As stated i have several and this is as good as they get without spending 60k on a full restoration-- so You'd be saving lot of money!Vehicle is an antique and as sold as is with no expressed warranty. Feel free to ask questions, everything but a few of the gauges in full working order. $500 deposit required immediately after auction via paypal.Vehicle listed elsewhere and I reserve the right to pull item from Ebay at any time.Thank you for looking-- sure would make a great Christmas gift! UPDATE#1 -- had some requests for any pics of rust and undercarriage-- these are the very few spots of light rust on the van, its 99% rust free, as you can see the undercarriage has some dirt build up, but its not a leaking van so it doesn't have all the heavy oil build up you would normally see. Also took some shots of the rims and tires-- These are commercial grade tires that hold air tightly and those rims are SOLID AND NOT SPLIT RIMS--thats a pretty big deal because they have the unusual 6x7.25 bolt on pattern and you can take them anywhere to get worked on unlike the split rims that no one wants to touch. if you have any more questions please ask-- This really is a great van and as I always say-- " you can spend a few K on a beat up rust bucket and then spend tens of thousands more in agony to restore it, or you can just spend more the first time and be done with it" UPDATE#2 : Buyer will receive an awesome van tshirt as shown in last pic :-) and the HORN-- the horn is a firetruck horn as this van was once used by by fireman-- pretty cool. also the floor is rhino-lined and the indicators, lights and windshield wipers are updated and functional. thank you! UPDATE#3: Model is 1960 AM122 and is approx. 17' long. -- i do have other modals including a stellar candidate for food truck conversion if thats what someone is looking for, i also have the shortest body version with a round back available; and another of this same body style in very strong condition, just not finished out like the orange crush.On Dec-21-15 at 08:43:40 PST, seller added the following information: Update #4: Looks like she's gonna sell now, just a matter of who wants it the most-- gotta say part of me was hoping it wouldn't, but the new owner will not be disappointed in this wonderful van. :-)On Dec-22-15 at 15:40:16 PST, seller added the following information: UPDATE#5 : Hello-- I just custom fabbed a new seat mount for the van and bolted on the aftermarket seat, its in a nice comfortable position and light years more comfy than the original-- however the option for either seat is still there-- just that the current bidder wanted modern comfort as his preference. I also took her for a little ride and couldn't stop grinning, this van really gets after it-- FOR ALL THE INQUIRIES ABOUT MY OTHER VANS: Yes, I will be letting go of a few more-- no plans to list anytime soon, but if you want to see them please Facebook key words 'Awesomevan Tx' and theres plenty o' pics of them there. i can be reached via message there as well. Happy Holidays don't let this one slip away!
