this van was on ebay last month.. its a re-post.   i remember the repainted
bumpers (they painted over the black stripe)  and the front chin spoiler that
has been sprayed silver..
i dont have carfax, but ???..  notice the dash.  the dash is from a '80-84
van or a '90-91 NON -GL van.  its not the proper dash for a carat, which is
supposed to have the padded dash cover and the tray area like all '85 up GL's
have. also the front grille is from a '86-87 vanagon w/ the smaller emblem,
tho that doesnt really mean anything. and the airfoil wiper is on the wrong
side tho that doesnt mean anything either..  but why would someone replace
the whole metal dash?  they dont usually "go bad".. unless it was bent...
anyone have carfax?
aside from that it looks really clean.  wonder why it didnt sell last month..
