This guy is a parter and sells online parts.  He
slipped under the radar and bought this van a couple
of months ago... while I was trying to make it to
Cincinnati to see it.  He bought it for +/-$600 and
the last time I checked thesamba, he had
removed/replaced the alloys, it wasn't running right
and he was cruising for best offer bids.  I shot a
$600 figure at him since I knew the history.  He
replied, "No thanks".  No harm, no foul.

Based on several previous conversations with the PO,
it seems the van was REALLY cobbled together and did
not run well when he was able to get it started. I had
intended to disassemble it and use the various parts
on projects.  I seriously doubt that this van would be
up to highway/daily use, unless he has done a WHOLE
lot of work on it.
Just my opinion and YMMV.
