Ignore eBay's ridiculous shipping calculator, it quotes $598 to Albuquerque NM (216 miles) where I ship trucks on a regular basis for $150. Contact me for a real quote, I can arrange wholesale nationwide shipping for about .50 a mile.

The Story:
I love anything vintage, unusual, utilitarian and anything van, vans are back man! I own 7 vans right now (4WD, camper, duramax turtle top, vintage, AWD etc) and this big bruiser gets attention from van people everywhere I go. 1996 is the last year for the old school body style but you get a fuel injected (a must here at 8000ft) engine, overdrive, ABS disc brakes, AC, electronic ignition etc.
This van big, makes a lot of shade, it's perfect for a back country overland camper build, rafting, moto van etc. It seats 5, is nearly 6 ft wide and has another 8.5 ft behind the second row seat which would fit a queen size bed or literally a ton of gear. This van starts, runs, drives, stops excellent in every way, it's what you would expect from a 64K mile van and it will make someone very happy.
Options and Equipment:
Has a super strong running 5.7L FI V8 engine, auto trans, front/rear AC, heat, immaculate non smoking blue cloth interior, excellent glass all around with 6 big vent windows and never ever any rust (see underside photos)
I installed a small lift with heavy duty front springs for more camping clearance, a fresh alignment and 4 new heavy duty load E 265/75/16 Iron Man AT tires. I replaced the radiator, front wheel bearings, pads, gave it a full safety inspection, oil/filter, checked all fluids, air filter, inspected the brakes and undercarriage, has been professionally cleaned inside etc. I would drive this van anywhere, I've run 70 mph Colorado to New Mexico and back, this van is reliable, turn key and ready for some old school summer road trip camping fun.
Though in excellent original condition, this is a used 21 year old van and as you would expect there are imperfections, scratches, dings, wear, etc. I am being very "nit-picky" on some of this stuff because I value my reputation/feedback.
There is a small wear spot on the the driver's seat (see photos)
There is some damage to the headliner in the back (see photos)
The ash tray door is missing, I think I know where there is a donor van, will replace if possible.
There is some damage, scrapes, dings etc in the paint, most is on the front doors but overall the body/paint is in good shape (see photos)
There is a dent on the passenger door window frame (see photos)
The upholstery board backing is pulling away in the rear on the driver's side, just needs some glue, no biggie (see photos)
Please call me, I'm a small family business, not some slick haired, polyester clad car salesman. I'm 49yrs old, jeans, boots, down to earth, have 2 kids, self employed, work for a living kind of a guy, I won't B.S. you or waste your time.
