This 1998 Chevy Express Van is ready to go to work for you. In its former life, it was owned by the state of Virginia and used as an inmate transport. It has seating for 15, however; the belts in the rear have been disabled. The seats do come with the van but can be removed to turn this into a work van. It has a plexiglass and steel partition between the cab and cargo area as well as heavy expanded metal over every window. This van is highly secure and even has a lock box between the front bucket seats. Brackets on the rear doors can accommodate pad locks for extra security. The 5.7 liter V-8 gasoline motor runs strong without knocks, pings or unusual noises and it has no leaks. The automatic transmission with overdrive shifts properly into every gear with no grinding, slipping or bumping and does not leak. It has four Firestone tires with lots of tread life. The heavy duty suspension is tight and has no funny bumps or knocks. The steering is all proper and makes this van surprisingly easy to control. There are 2-3 minor surface rust spots at the bottom of the side doors and rear door. Some paint is peeling over the cab and along the drivers side. There is no rust forming where the paint is peeling and primer under the areas is intact. The glove box between the seats and on the engine cover has a broken latch but it also has a tensioner that keeps it closed so it doesn't flop around. This would make the perfect work van for anyone that carries high dollar parts and tools that need an extra level of security. It would also make a good transport van where separation of driver and passengers is desired. In the case of a zombie apocalypse; this is the vehicle you want to get trapped inside. I'd feel bad for the driver but anyone riding would be perfectly safe. Feel free to e-mail us with any questions you may have. Good luck and happy bidding.
