the first tornado red van i saw up close was at the pittsburgh vintage grand
prix a few years ago.
I went up to the owner and introduced myself and told him about out
Pittsburgh Vanagon Club, and started inquiring about his van....
I asked if this was the original paint, as it was VERY clean. I also asked
if it was the original engine and if he'd ever had head gasket problems. His
answer to both questions was "I would hope its all original, it has SEVEN
THOUSAND MILES ON IT".
This guy bought it new, and uses it like once a month to drive to the
grocery store!
I hope i find this coming up for sale sometime soon : )

my dream van is a tornado red carat, converted syncro, converted westy.
Or just a Syncro westy painted tornado red..... but we all know I find way
to much joy in cutting things up/converting them. : )

Benny Boy's van is painted tornado red isn't it?
It looks good either way!
