    I think he's looked at the silver one, but man, those two 'stretch' vans get another $2500 tacked on just because they're 3 feet longer?

    Thanks. I didn't check that far away where the loooong vans are. Both seem low mileage and decent. However the Space Coast van is a six.
    I nearly bought the '97 Ford Club Wagon - $3995, Gainesville, FL, 67,548 miles for $3500.
    For now all wheeling and dealing is on hold till son in law gets home from Florida and tries to work something out with his dad's help. I've actually got relatives wanting me to live closer to them. They don't really know me that well!:evilsmile:

    Good luck. There's a lot of junk vans out there. I got lucky and bought this one at the beginning of the year. It's a 99 and had just shy of 100k miles. Only paid $1,500 for it. It just needed a good cleanging and a few minor things. I cleaned it up and made it into a cargo van.
    As purchased.

    That right there is what I've been looking for.:) I know they are out there somewhere. What did you do to the side windows?

    It's vinyl wrap. I was originally looking for a cargo van. When it was posted on Craigslist, the seller had horrible pics and there was garbage on the floor, but when I saw it had less than 100k miles and the high roof, I knew I had to go look at it. I drove it and bought it on the spot. He thought it had a bad transmission due to a shudder. I installed new fluid and filter and it fixed the shudder.

    On my 1948 Chevy 1/2 ton panel truck I had an idea to add phoney windows with old movie stars sitting inside. Like Elvis, Marylin Monroe, etc.:lolup:
    I've got a million ideas with a :2cents: budget.
