It is supposedly a '90 or '91 Panel Bus with a carburetted inline 4 1.6L... He got it from a customer who drove it up here from someplace in Central/South America... He bought it from her when she realized she couldn't get it titled or registered without alot of BS paperwork (it doesn't have a 17 digit VIN)... I've been trying to buy it for a couple years, but he keeps putting me off... He keeps saying he is going to drop a F/I 1.8L in it and drive it around with his dealer plates... It is kinda interesting... Has a 4"-5" raised roof, a 1/3-2/3 nicely fabric upholstered front bench seat, and a funky looking plastic radiator grill on a Baywindow nose... One of these days I'll get some pics of this thing and post 'em to the 'Net...
