Hey, i did a van sometime ago, full restoration. The customer/friend had to move to Europe for work so they didn't use the van much, he call me and said i want to sell it Ben. It's been on my site for seel for a wile at 29,000$. He just ask me to drop the price at 20K$. The restoration cost was near 24K$. on top it now as a Daryl transmission with the higher fourth gear, new drive axle, bearing. http://www.benplace.com/fabian.htm Well, at that price it's a steal, this was not a Quebec rust bucket, see pictures. It as only 5000km (3000 miles) since i did the restoration. Engine had 2400km. This thing is trouble free with a lot of power. GoWesty should buy it and sell it 70k$ Maybe they could learn a thing or 2 about restoring a van. I should put it on Ebay :-) Ben |
