Nice van! We owned one exactly like this except it was a watercooled 84
and an automatic. We called it Cocoa and it was a great little van!
One cool thing I see is that you have the Behr aftermarket Air
Conditioning installed in the van (that is why you have the central
vents in place of the radio and the radio down under the dash in a
special box. This is a rare find! I hope you can get her back on the
road for fun this spring!
