This is a very nice camper.We have had it about 4 years now and don't use it anymore.It has been just sitting in the garage for the past year, so it is time for a new home.Since we bought it, we have had one head redone due to a slight skip in the motor, taken the gas tank out and redid it, put new tires on it, installed new brakes, put in a new battery,installed a new fuel pump, and someone had just put a new fuel injection control module on it.We also had the automatic transmission rebuilt, repaired a small tear in the front of the top where the handle is (see picture), redid the brakes, among other things.The van runs and drives great.We never took it more than about 200 miles from home. The body is in excellent shape.It has the ORIGINAL paint except for a small area above the driver rear tire that was sprayed years ago.There is no sign of Bondo there at all. The original paint is in great shape. It has several thin spots and several bare patina spots. I put Permatex rust treatment on those spots once a year to protect them. The bottom left of the sliding door has a small dent (see picture). The only through rust is located behind the back bumper (which is very minimal) and a couple of dime size spots on the right and left rear lower panels (see picture). It is missing both left and right rear marker lights by the bumper. The steps in the right and left front doors have a little rust, but had rust treatment applied and is not through (see picture). Neither the pans nor the rails have any rust at all. They look incredible. The only rust on the bottom is a very small amount beneath the battery. The rubbers around a couple of the windows are dry and I would recommend replacing them, however it is not necessary. We have 4 new shocks we have never installed. The van does have a/c, but the compressor is missing. All windows work great. The drip rails are just about perfect with no rust. When closing the sliding door, you do have to push in on the back. I also have a small window a/c unit that fits perfectly in the sliding window on the sliding door that comes with it. The interior is incredible. All the cloth is perfect and original. It has the original green front windshield curtain as well as all of the other original curtains throughout the van. A couple of them are faded a little. Also, we have the original kids cot that goes above the front seats that is in perfect condition and the bug screen that goes across the rear hatch that is in great shape also. There is a small piece of formica on top of the refrigerator that is cracked a little (see picture); however, I have a 4x8 sheet of formica that is a really close match that comes with it if you wish to repair it. I personally like the original, so I never replaced it. The right bracket on the top bed needs to be repaired, but is still perfectly functional without repair. We have never used the stove, sink, or fridge. I do know that the fridge doesn't cool. All of the top zippers work great. The turn signals do not work, but I have never tried fixing them. All of the glass is in excellent shape. I have had many Mustangs and Shelbys over the past 30 years, but I have never found anything as original and solid as this little van. The milage showing is 30,927. I have no clue what the original milage is, but it cannot be much by the way it drives and how nice the interior and body are. I will be glad to send more pictures upon request and answer any questions you have. The van is being sold as is with no warranties.
