    We had our yearly picnic and car show yesterday at work, about 16 cars in the show and there were some high dollar rides in it and everyone gets one vote per person. So i put my wife's 67 chevy 108 window van in the show,now this is the van that the local metal scrap yard was going to crush and Tim(Econousaparts)called me and i bought it for $1,000.00. I have did nothing to the inside or outside of the van but did put in a different motor and wheels on it.People young and old went crazy over the van and was gathered around it all day.The first place winner was a 160k t-bird,2nd place 70k ford and 3rd place was the van. Now thats funny.............
