Selling this '70's Shagin' Wagin' 1977 Dodge Tradesman 200 custom short wheel base van. Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUubnkaDNWI. This is an interesting van. From what I understand, this was a factory conversion offered from Chrysler as "Safari". Has a mural of a lioness and her cub on the sides and port hole windows. Interior is a nautical theme. Rope and panelling. Back seat lays down and front seats swivel. CD player and wall speakers. Everything works on this van. A/C needs charged. I drove it home to Evansville, IN. from Nashville, TN. a few days ago. Overall this is a very solid "unrestored" van and structurally sound. Body has a few rust spots that need attention but no bondo anywhere. Paint is weak on the hood and other spots. Most of the van will buff out and look nice but really needs fresh paint to look really nice. Runs and drives GREAT!!! Starts right up every time. Has dual exhaust. Motor is a 318/727 Auto with 162000. Edelbrock performer intake, Eelbrock 600 carb, new starter, new alternator, new master cylinder. Motor sounds good and NO leaks ANYWHERE. I drove it 70-75 mph for 4 hours yesterday with no issues. I traded for this van and I really don't need it, but it is cool. Has Sky Jacker air shocks and 15" Cragar S/S mags that are in nice shape up need polished and have some rust. Tires are nice. My plan was to fix it up as a "street van". This is a van you can drive home and enjoy. "Every MAN needs a VAN" lol. I will assist in shipping but cost is on you. Weather here is terrible. I would be more motivated to restore the van if it were nicer outside but this winter will never end. Clear, open title. Any other question, feel free to ask. I added one old picture of what these vans used to look like. Keep in mind this is a 33 year old van but there's $1500 in parts alone here with a nice running 318 4bbl motor, 727 torque flite and a set of Cragar S/S wheels. No reserve so bid to own it. Thanks for looking! On Feb-09-11 at 08:34:30 PST, seller added the following information: Also, the inside of the van kind of smells like a bowling alley. I sprayed some air freshener in it and it does eliminate the smell for a few days but after it has been closed up for awhile, bowling alley. Even going to Wal Mart feels like you are driving to a Molly Hatchet concert.On Feb-09-11 at 18:29:14 PST, seller added the following information: Also, if you have less than (10) feedback, contact me prior to bidding so that I know you are a real person and not a fake account.
