I had the pleasure of meeting up with G-Man, while I was in Michigan this week! We had a bite to eat Wednesday evening and discussed "Earlies" and Vannin! Great guy, as are all I meet in this "Sport"!
Thanks for the meal Chris, I owe you one next time we get together!!

Going to be checking out a 67 G Van that's for sale this weekend.. hoping to pick it up. I'll let you guys know how it goes!

Going to check out two G10's this weekend.

A 1968 white for $500. The guy says it runs great and only need a windsheild!!!

And a 1965 for $800. Also runs fine, all glass good but has some rust in the normal places.

Will see for myself and let you all know what I find. Not really looking for another one right now but for these prices I have to go look! Both in Northern Florida.

Update on the Van(s) I "was" going to check out. Called the 65 for $800 guy and told him I was coming and suddenly he just had to tell me there were a few more things I needed to know about the van. Likeeeee. The motor is shot. Well guessing it’s just the rings from what he told me and the rust around all the windows is a bit "more" than "Normal" as he first described and the roof was formally used as a "Trampoline..." Also that 6 people had come and looked at it already since he listed it 3 months ago……… Hmmm, 3 months, 6 people at $800 and no taker’s…..

Decided to pass on the 140 mile trip just to check it out…..
.............................................................................................

The 1968 window van for $500. The guy never call me back. Still want to check this one out. He said it runs great and would drive it anywhere and it only needs some minor bodywork and a windshield. Maybe next weekend.

The good news is I decided to go check out the local Flea Market and guess what I found?




ARE YOU READY?

................ REALLY READY?


Their "TENZO" Rally reclining racing seats! And their 20" wide.....

............. GOT THEM BOTH FOR..... $29 ! YEAH BABY! "SCORE!"

Wow you got a hell of a deal!!! Nice score!!

Funny you should ask Chris. I was just looking them up..

$300-$500 Each depending on where you look.

The cheapest I could find was this place $500 for the pair....

What are you putting them in van or jeep???? I looked at a set awhile ago, but they were to wide for a early. Even if you don't used them you should be able to make money on those.

Very true, kind of my thought when I saw them and asked "How much" The old guy said $30 for both and I thought he was joking so I said: Way too much... How about $29? He laughed and said "OK".....
I had to ask if he was serious and when he said yes, I just pulled out my wallet!

Their only 20” wide so thinking they’ll fit with no problem. Will do a test fit tomorrow and let you know. They came with mounting brackets and racing harnesses too. And yes I was thinking “VAN” from the start. The jeep got new everything from the ground up a few years ago, it’s good.

If they are only 20" wide they will fit for sure

Yeah. First thing I did was measure them... Before I asked "How much"...

I really thought he was going to say $100-$150 ea.

Don, I really miss the In 'n Out! Haven't been on the West coast in years.

Nice Chevy's!

Later,
Rip

Left montana this morning headed for paradise california. Thank goodness for blackberry and their mobile internet! Vans make the miles go by quickly! Just about to pass through the tri city area in washington

Had to get "new" exhaust clamps for my Y-pipe after I hit a "pothole" (bomb crater???) and knocked the y-pipe off the manifolds. Then as I am tightening things up I get hit in the forehead with a drop of antifreeze from the weep hole on the water pump. After that it was time to quit until this weekend, maybe my luck will change by then.

man i know the feeling, go to change the headlite,back tire goes flat, motor mount breaks, ect..... good luck.
