I dig vans!

Especially 47 year old ones with original paint and 61k miles.

**special-K** · 11-18-2021, 07:03 AM

That's quite a find there

I'll throw one in. I'd like to 'find' this one

Nice find.

59bones · 11-18-2021, 08:54 AM

Thanks guys. Its currently in cleaning mode.

I seem to recall seeing that 4x4 FALCON for sale not long ago. Maybe on Bring a Trailer. I'm sure its still out there.

**dave6672** · 11-18-2021, 10:34 AM

Awesome find, please post more pics once you've cleaned it up.

**mrtoni** · 11-18-2021, 02:39 PM

I tried to buy this one. Seller said headed to Illinois

Interesting mrtoni!

The sellers were very nice folks. Let me come and look, even let me do a little cleaning before we talked turkey. I paid and came back a week or so later to pick it up.

It needs a little tidying.

**mrtoni** · 11-18-2021, 11:10 PM

You need to show them plaid seats

**special-K** · 11-19-2021, 06:03 AM

That Rallye Van package was cool. I just missed buying a short original paint Nomad with plaid seats a handful of years ago. I think it was a '78

59bones · 11-19-2021, 11:02 AM

I'll post an interior shot when I get it cleaned up better. It does have the plaid in pretty good shape. The SPID calls it "avocado".

Is the ochre van yours?

Just call me Sean · 11-20-2021, 03:17 AM

This is my old van. It's now my shed.

**mrtoni** · 11-20-2021, 03:27 AM

Yes it’s mine shorty 1973. 60000 original miles.

I used it like that for a while, after some doctoring.

**special-K** · 11-20-2021, 01:10 PM

^^^ The paint sure doesn't match on the hood but the stripe does. Nice touch!

Hope everyone came out of it ok. That bumper looks like it absorbed quite the hit.

**Boog** · 11-20-2021, 04:16 PM

Looks like she faired better than these smart car folks.

She was fine, other guy was fine, just sore. The Honda was totalled.

The van has been making a noise for a while, sounded like whistling. Well a few days ago it turned into screaming. Opened everything up and looked for the noise but couldn't see it.

Took off the belt and ran it, no noise. Idler pulley was bad.

**special-K** · 11-29-2021, 09:47 AM

The pulley went idle on you

I guy I know in town has had a short Dodge van for sale and I've been meaning to stop to talk about it. It's pretty cool, stands out. Solid burgundy with a conv van style (tall) window near the rear corner, small luggage rack (maybe ladder), and looks like 8" steelies (silver) with dog dish caps all around. I'll get a picture driving by at least

Meanwhile, did I show these pictures yet?
