It would be a great body to build a reliable van on.  But the investment needed will be great.  Still what a fun project that would be.  But, not for that price! 

I by chance was visiting a friend in Maine several years ago.  We stopped by his friends house.  There was a large building and in it were tightly packed some of the nicest old VW beetles I’ve ever seen.  And, bay window trucks, Bay panel vans, and on and on.  All tightly packed in this very large space.  I realized they likely never got out on the road.  You would have to move several vehicles for example before you could get another out. 
        It was sort of nice to see those rust free and preserved cars and trucks.  But, it was sad to think nobody got to ride in them.
