    found this Van yesterday, it's a "one" ovner van, the ovner bought it new in the US and brought it back to Norway when he moved home.
    as i understand it, he was the only one to drive it until he passed away some seven yrs ago, his son was not aloud to drive it, so when his father passed he sold the van. it's been in storage since then. i got a phonecall yesterday about this Van for sale, so i called the owner, took the 5 hrs drive down to where he lives, picked it up and drove it home. the total roadtrip took almost 14hrs, blew a hose halfway, took a while before i had fixed it. the engine is a 307cid and it's three on the tree. it's got just over 75600 miles on it, more or less rust free, but it has some dents. the ovner was a carpenter, so he has used this car for work, so im missing the interior in the back.
    it got 6 lug wheels, would that make it a G-20?

    Looking good! Gotta wonder about a carpenter that hits that much stuff and uses a coat hanger for an antenna though! Laughing
