I bought this van and had planned to go totally through it and fix it
up, but other projects are looming and I just don't have time to
dedicate to it. Everything is there, but it needs a bit of fixing up:
It needs the rear upper bed cushion and a new tent. The tent has been
completely removed and is ready for a new one to be installed.
Engine was in partial-rebuild status by previous owner - the heads have
been rebuilt, cylinders honed, new waterpump installed, ready to begin
assembly. The parts are there - rings, bearings, gaskets, new exhaust etc.
Rust in the left side panel: rocker seam is rusty, and there is a rust
area under the hookups. There are a few small dents and seam rust in the
right rear wheel well seam. The paint overall is decent other than the
rust areas. Roof is good, nice skylight but needs lift adjuster. The
previous owner replaced brakes, but it needs either bleeding out or
adjustment, the pedal is low.
Tables are all there. All curtains are all there except the front one.
Dash has the usual sun cracks. Needs propane tank, it's rusty. Mileage
shows 94,000, which I can't verify as accurate or not. Automatic trans.,
no AC, has power steering.
I'm asking $3000, it's well worth this so please no offers of less.
You'll need to tow it, the engine is not running!
Located in la Pine, Oregon. Full photos here:
