Was working out in the middle of BFE and drove by a House that had many old cars all over the place. All day I was thinking (I wonder if there could be a van in that nice big yard of GOLD). Cause I just happen to have a trailer and $600. So after work I drove up the dirt road and went to the house.An older gentelman came out to greet me. I was fast to the point.( the sun was going down) Ten min latter I was loading the van up on the trailer and I only had $100 left. 1966 display van but only windows in the doors so I can try to make it a panel. 240 only 90,000 miles on it, One owner and all the papers of work done on it. Started right up just needs new tires and paint.
