I seen a VAN,,,(,part 1) Old posts

Man, you are a magnet for the vans. Your town is full of them.

I commute any where from 80 to 100 miles a day and have never seen another van on the road. When I'm at work we cover 4 counties and I haven't seen one at anybodies house, the "rust" monster must have eaten most of them here.

KC stopped by my place the other day with one of his Vans:


He has owned this Van for several years and just recently got the engine back in it.
B.W.

very nice van.

Looks Great KC!!!! Hope to see it in person someday

spotted this a couple nights ago. investigated today.

That is cool! Anyone have any inside pic's of one of these?

theres one of those dodge campers with the fiberglass shell for sell 2 blocks from me.runs great, has a leak in roof but in real nice shape. some where around 2000 he wants.....

oh yeah.....it has a bathroom and showerin it, real cool, lots of seating. long bench down both sides and i think acook top too,,,

Get some pics of the inside if you can......I've never seen one.

There are 3 other vans on the mountain that I know of and 1 A100 p/u. The p/u is really nice and one other 1st gen chevy that runs around Crestline. I've seen the chevy a few times but have never talked to the guy. I will investigate this summer and see if I can find him. A guy at the local auto parts store said that he has an Astro van drivetrain in it. The other 2 vans are 1st gen chevies and havent moved in a very long time.

got pics of the camper a100.....download them tonight, changing points and condensor in my 64e, the i'llload em

no, but i can get some monday,
guy said that the valves where redione for unleaded a couple years back, and has a recent carb rebuild....

I saw this neat van at the Goodguys show in March.[img][/img]

you know it is very true you do not see these everyday, they are actually rare to see cruising down the road but what breaks my heart is every time i go to pick n pull they are lined up ready to get picked by vultures and crushed flat really really actually gets to me that people are so out of touch they would rather finance a kia then fix up a classic of any kind.

Since Donivan is out of town, I will cover for him. This was seen at UCSD college:



Destro, you are so right. It is especially heartbreaking when we see these vans here in the California junkyards where they are usually rust free! Maybe surface rust, some dents and missing parts, but someone in the rust belt would go crazy for it.
