The wheels look decent but could also use a good polishing. Engine The motor is believed to be the original 350 cubic inch motor. It has a solid lifter cam and starts and runs good.

Ø Rear doors have large 1-piece vinyl panels with recessed designs. Ø 2” square tube roll-type gauge in rear area of van. On a scale of 1 to 10, overall this van is a solid 7.0. It stays in the garage and I drive it once in awhile. It goes down the road nice. Right now I have six vans and I’m going to sell a couple before winter hits. It does leak some oil, most of it seems to come from the PCV tube, which is routed down along the bell housing and dumps to the ground. I think it should be piped to the air filter. Valve covers may leak a little also. The water neck weeps antifreeze from time to time. The van is not perfect but it is very nice. Any questions call John at (207) 737-4410. If you can come look at it in person that would be best.
