I own a glass shop, so when I saw this I got all excited:

This is exactly the kind of van I started to look for 2 years ago. It's been stored inside for a very long time.

I just started stripping the many layers of paint off my '66 Dodge Sportsman. This paint job is going to lead to a lot of work and cash. I have a '65 Sportsman that I can drive around the block, but the body's pretty far gone. I had my guys on reduced hours earlier this year and I didn't want start throwing money at my van until things got a little more solvent. I also past up buying a rather clean $1,500 '69 Dodge Display van this summer because I didn't want another project that would take away from me moving forward with the '66's paint job.

If I pursue this non-operable van, I'll have to dump the parts van, but I'd have two good running vans. I swore I would someday chase down a Van-Up from out west and snag parts off the '65 if needed. Purchasing this would basically kill that dream.

Do I start to go after this '60s vintage glass truck or stay with the hand I've been dealt?
