Truly hope we find the right owner, you will need a certain appreciation of the old school concept, using the dipstick, checking the coolant and using the clutch! If that's good, keep on reading.
Please do your research and you'll see why this is a special van. Handling is amazing, given the rear weight bias. She is rear engine, rear wheel drive and a stick shift !!

Happy to answer any questions. I can drive it to a mechanic of your choice if you'd like an inspection. All the work done by Fritz and Peters in Oakland.
