Dodge Custom Van I found
« on: January 17, 2015 - 09:54:51 PM »
I ran into this Van behind a building stashed away from prying eyes.

Turns out the owner's brother who owned it and passed away.
He's been considering selling it. No idea what he's looking to get for it.
Might be a cool resto to do. A tow vehicle?

The interior needs major work. almost totally gutted.
Tons of dash plaques of Van shows all over the dash.

I bet this Van has alot of stories in it's past.   women,  :drunk: :smokin:

I remember Car Craft issues in the late 70's of Vans like this that had 440's and even one I recall had a 426 Hemi.
Vans were hot back then.

I would think the value would be in the 1500 range. 
Vans have a pretty low following now don't they?

I totally LOVE those.  I`ve been looking for a van like that but almost all have them ugly windows cut into the sides, or are lwb B300`s. 
I am a bit hesitant shipping a car like that.... unseen.    :drool:  :pullinghair:
