after owning it a couple weeks, i am evan happier with it. when i look at what is for sale PLUS SHIPPING, i did good. evan if it was over priced, it was exactly what i was looking for. my first van so i consider it price of admission. now the bad! not a single peice of weatherstripping, heater not installed and most parts missing but panalmanrd stepped up and saved the day. seats were home made and useless, $100.00 junkyard seats and fabbing some brackets fixed that, has an integral cylinder head and exhaust is cracked, have a complete 292 waiting and picked up a $75.00 head today for quick fix, bumpers was a big surprise, $880.00 for rechromed originals that i DIDNT buy. threw on some old chrome bumpers i got for $30.00 each and 2 $5.00 hubcaps to get my antique plates. better ones are on my list of things to do. stereo sucks, drum brakes fade and there are several small items 'rigged' that require fixing right. evan with the growing list of bad, i dont think i could of 'easily' found a drivable van that was all one color (primer dont count) delivered for 3 grand. it had to be '64-'66 panal and 'jump in and drive' i got that and it was an hour from house. i dont have any buyers remorse yet.
