More Details & Pictures

This one is for the purists.

This van is turnkey – ready to roll! Trusted, comfortable, dependable, well-maintained/upgraded self-sufficient base-camp ready for adventure. Rebuilt stock 2.1L engine, rebuilt transmission (both by Previous Owner). This girl easily cruises at 65-70 @4K RPM on the flats. Everything in great working order, everything original with many upgrades. She’s been garage-kept at my home in Roseburg OR. Mechanical work has been lovingly completed by No Name Garage in Eugene, OR. All original upholstery is in great shape. Very clean throughout.

I bought this in 2012 from a dude in Nashville, TN. The PO had the engine and transmission rebuilt. Honestly, I didn’t use her much until the last three years, but since then we’ve been on many adventures together with no issues. Several two- and three-week 3,000 mile trips in the last ten months with no issues.

The only things that do NOT work are the horn and car stereo (trying to get the stereo fixed). And there is no speaker in the driver’s side door due to after-market power windows.
The engine does leak a small bit of oil. On my last 3,000 mile trip I only had to add less than a ½ quart.

Unfortunately, there is some seam rust in places and around the gas fill coming through. Otherwise, the undercarriage is in good shape, no serious rust or holes (had this checked out by a body shop).
