I am selling my late husband's 1969 Chevrolet Van. We are the original owners of this van . I had this on ebay before and I have lowered the price twice. This is the last time. If it doesn't sell, it is going back in the garage. I will not go any lower. Last month I had a mechanic work on the van, he put on a new water pump, rebuilt the Holly carburetor, put new gas lines in, a transmission seal, changed the transmission fluid and other things to get it running. It sounds good. The mechanic also told me the undercarriage had no rust or holes in the floor boards that he could see. The last time it was painted, was 1999. The battery is one the mechanic brought but it is not new. It has seat belts on the seats in the front. He said it will also need plugs a wires. This van started out green, it is now white with blue trim. It does not have the original motor,the one that is in it now was special built by a friend of my husbands who was a engine builder. I called him to get all the details. It is a 355 engine .030+ balanced and blue printed with a 530 hydraulic cam and gets between 330-340 horsepower. He also said that it had 3.73 gear ratio in the rear end that he put in for him. My husband put in a bigger fan and an electric fan. It has a standard transmission . It is on the sterring column, it has 3 speeds and reverse. I am not sure of what kind of transmission but I am sure it was some kind of heavy duty one.My husband was a fiberglass boat builder and repairman. He built and put on the flares and the wing. The van was last inspected in 2005. We only ran it in the summer in later years mostly on weekends, so there were not many miles on the new engine. It was never used as a work vehicle. It has never been driven in the winter. The tires are up but not sure how good they are. From the pictures you will see he had some insulation under the hood, that looks like it will need changed as will the rubber around the hood. The interior still looks good. There is a little ice box with a cupboard above for storage and storage box on the side. The bedroom fits two easily and there is lots of storage underneath. I know there has been body work done on it through the years and I think some was metal but not positive and some was putty. The mattress in the bedroom is a piece of foam. and the floor is foam padded and carpet. He saved all the emblems that came on it and two say 108, pretty sure that is the wheelbase. There is a blue canvas awning that was special made for the van that we put on while we were camping. He built a console where the sun visors were, there are two compartments for storage. Also in the middle of the van on the left of the ice box and cabinet there is a little storage area. He made a snap on naugahyde piece for there. And to the right of the ice box is a little storage bin that holds quite a bit of stuff, it has the fur lined lid. Under the bed is a secret compartment to hide valuables while traveling or camping. He spent many years getting this van to where it is now. He cared nothing about original, I guess you can see that. There is also an Alpine radio with cassette player with two speakers in the back of the van. It has the remote and the book that came with it. This is a big deal for me selling our van, it was such a big part of our life. The van has always been garage kept with a cement floor.It has dual exhausts and no power steering. I checked the lights, turn signals, dimmer switch, windshield wipers, horn and they all work. If you have more questions about the van write me with your number and I will call you back. I have been as truthful as possible about this van and I am selling as is. Thanks for looking and please tell your friends that might be interested. If you bid, make sure you want it as there are no returns.I will only accept Pay Pal and cash. You must make the arrangements to have it hauled to your residence. It must be picked up within 7 days of the sale. Thanks for looking. The van will be 50 years old in 3 years! I welcome anyone who wants to come look at it before they bid to do so. I am located 30 miles north of Pittsburgh in Butler County. PA
