OVERVIEW
This is one. The NEO (if you’re a Matrix fan). Numero Uno. #1
There is no doubt in my mind that this amazing, 58,000 ACTUAL MILE Dodge Street Van is one of the cleanest and coolest Van’s ever offered on eBay.
If you come and see it and drive it, you will buy it. PERIOD. End of story.
It is about as close to perfection as you can get, and the coolest part of it is the fact that it is a VAN!!! Not a Cuda, not a Challenger, but a SUPER CLEAN, LASER STRAIGHT, and STUNNING VAN!!!!
Please take a moment to read the detailed listing, look over the 100 extra-large detailed photos, and then call me to make it yours before someone else does it first!
THIS VEHICLE HAS A CLEAN AND CLEAR FLORIDA TITLE IN OUR POSSESSION, AND IS NOT A CONSIGNMENT VEHICLE.
DESCRIPTION
Yeah, I know my listings are usually long-winded and filled with little details only real buyers care about, so I will spare everyone the long and boring and read on this one, because it is pretty much perfect.
This 58,000 ACTUAL MILE Dodge Street Van has a PERFECTLY STRAIGHT body with NO RUST, ROT, CORROSION, DAMAGE, OR ISSUES. Hell, it really doesn’t even show any DIRT when you open the freaking doors and look at the jambs!!!! CLEANER THAN A WINN DIXIE CHICKEN is how we would describe it in the South, and it has NEVER been touched with bondo, mud, filler, chicken wire, or anything else since it left the factory!
Look everywhere, from the rockers to under the doors, and everything in between….IT IS SPOT ON PERFECT, thanks to being a Southern rig its entire life!
The stunning Copperhead finish on the van is about as nice as I have ever seen, and it is about 97% flaw, blemish, and mark free from front to back. I have counted a total of 7 little tiny stone chips and marks on this thing, and there is a small paint blister spot on the right panel above the fender flare that I saw. Most people wouldn’t even mention these in a listing, and would call the Van PERFECT, but that’s not the way I do it. NONE OF THESE MARKS EVEN SHOW IN THE CLOSE-UP, LARGE PHOTOS I SUPPLY, but if you are on your hands and knees like I was, you will probably spot them. Other than that, the exterior is about as gorgeous as anything you would see in a GoodGUYS or NSRA show ring!
Glossy, slick, wet, and shiny to the point of blinding you in the sun, the finish is laid on so cleanly and perfectly it looks unreal.
It has been waxed and cleaned almost weekly and shows it. You would be hard-pressed to find ANY vehicle with a finish as nice as this for the money.
All of the vintage goodies like the sun visor, rear spoiler, fender flares, and chin spoiler are in magnificent condition, and have no signs of damage or disrepair.
The Chrysler logo side vent windows are in amazing condition, and fit the van to a T.
Between the side windows, pop-up dual moonroof’s, and the rearward vented fan, you can get plenty of air and light in the van. Best part it, NONE OF LEAK OR WEEP! NOTHING! I sat inside while we hit it with a pressure washer, and NOT A DROP came in from anything!
Glass on the van is in incredible condition, with no fogging, cracks, chips, or damage evident. The windows go up and down with ease thanks to new regulators and fuzzies, and inner and outer door handles and rollers work like they should.
All doors lock with a key, and the vent windows function perfectly too!
Rear pop-out windows work fantastic, and have the requisite louvered covers on them to keep your business, “your business”!
All of the weather stripping and seals are like new and work perfectly.
All of the doors seal perfectly, shut evenly, line up perfectly, and latch perfectly. IT IS LIKE HAVING A NEW VAN!!!!!
Good Grief, I CANNOT BEGIN TO STRESS HOW STRAIGHT, CLEAN, AND PERFECT THIS VAN IS!!! Please just fly in, pay for it, and drive it home, because that will be one HELL of a story!!!!
Underneath the van the chassis is bare, clean, solid, and beautiful. NO RUST, NO ROT, NO DAMAGE, NO REPLACED PANS, just perfectly clean, unadulterated factory metal! Yeah, it has a bit of Georgia clay dust on it, but that comes off with a little brush and some elbow grease. Besides, you have to be able to say you did SOMETHING to the Van, right?!?
I took the wheels off to show you everything I could on this machine. It is clean, and everything is in perfect working order, from the brakes to the shocks to the springs.
The factory original 318CID V8 is in magnificent working order, and has not caused one single issue the entire time we have had it.
It starts perfectly, idles cleanly thanks to the fully functional choke, and is ready to roll wherever and whenever you want it to.
It idles with a nice rumble, and has a little bark from the headers and side pipes when you mash the go pedal.
Exhaust is clean and has only a little light patina on the chrome pipes (which may come off when you detail it), and some light flaking on the vented covers on the backside bottom. The rest of the exhaust from the headers to the gleaming covers and tips shows beautifully, as you can see in the photos.
The engine runs like a new car, and does not smoke, leak, backfire, burble, or do anything it shouldn’t.
Snick the automatic into gear, and it is ready to roll, with smooth shifts up or down, and a fully functional kick-down when you need a little extra power.
It drives and tracks absolutely wonderful, and I have driven this thing more than I should have to multiple shows and events in our area without issue. It cruises the highway just fine, and manages stop-n-go beach traffic without issue, even with the fully functional air-conditioning on at full blast!!!! It NEVER has run hot, and NEVER done anything to lower my confidence level in it.
Heat and defrost all work too, and the wipers clean the windows like they should!
The grille is in excellent condition, and has no cracks or damage. The argent finish has a couple little paint spots on it, but overall, looks as good as any other car with 58,000 miles put on it in 38 years would!
The rear lights look new, the headlights look new, the head lamp trim is about as nice as original pot-metal can look, and the marker lights up front have light striations showing in them but work perfectly. All of the exterior lights work from the blinkers to the high beams, and no bulbs are out at this time. Fog lights inside the chin spoiler are aftermarket, and they work perfectly too.
Under the hood, the engine area is clean and basically untouched save for the occasional maintenance item.
There is a dual battery isolator installed that keeps the rear battery for all the accessories charged up without interfering with the main unit.
All of the hoses and clamps, and what-not’s and wherefores look to be in great condition, and all of the fluids have been recently changed as well. There are NO KNOWN ISSUES with the mechanical or operational aspects of the van at this time, and I would drive it to California or anywhere else!
Inside the van, great care was taken to let the essence of the 70’s Vannin’ days shine through, with a few modern touches!
All of the carpeting shows like new, and has been sound and heat insulated throughout, with an EXTRA layer of it under the main section of the floor for comfort.
All of the wood inside was cleaned, stripped, and refurbished to look good as new. I have supplied pictures below to show you everything in open, and closed positions. There is a TON of storage, and even the requisite “secret door panels” were retained to hide your stash from “The Man”, should he pull you over!
Front seats look like new, and have fully functional dual arm rests.
Rear bed is comfy, cool, and can be removed if you need a little more storage room from time to time. Underneath it lies the 2nd battery and all of the harnesses and fuses for the accessories it runs.
There is no sign of any staining, damage, rips, tears, or issues on the inside of the Van, and it really looks about as close to new in condition as you can expect. The dash is clean, and shows light marks from over the years. There is no sign of cracking or damage anywhere, and the custom AM/FM/CD/iPOD/USB stereo sounds fantastic plaything through the four speakers in the truck.
The overhead console houses two of them, along with a set of OG map lights and switchgear, while the back corners house the others.
Multiple lighting options exist throughout the van and all of them work.
The icebox unit has been professionally cleaned and restored to like new condition, and the water dispenser and sink are cleanly restored with new waste water and clean water storage units.
All of the dash lights work, all of the gauges work, all of the warning lights come on as they should at start up, and the odometer has worked since day one, showing just 58,000 and change! This is verified by the ACTUAL MILEAGE FLORIDA TITLE that comes with the van, and one look at this thing tells you it is legitimate too.
Wheels are simply stunning, and are polished slotted mags in front and super wide polished slotted mags in back.
Tires are like new, with a TON of tread life remaining, and give this van a great stance AND a great ride!
I really don’t know what else to say.
If you have wanted the coolest van EVER – look no further.
I have taken this to a handful of local shows, and people FREAK OUT! They have NEVER SEEN a van as nice as this, and they go crazy for it!!!!
It doesn’t need a thing to drive and enjoy it right now.
It is about as perfect as you’ll ever find.
DO NOT MISS IT!!!!
