'65 for sale in Nor Cal

[Dan Wilson]

There is a '65 panel for sale here in Sonoma Co. The guy is selling it for his son who moved. He want's $295+it has $200 in DMV rears to release the pink.It has a 250/powerglide.New:carb,batt,muffler,waterpump,valveco ver gasket,alt,re-cored radiator,gas tank flushed and has a new set of brake linings yet to be installed. The bad news is rust under window, other wise pretty straight. Does this sound like a good deal? I'm gonna check it out,maybe part it out if I buy it and the rust it too bad to repair and I find other problems...If any one wants to inquire,you can call Alex at 1-707-829-3251.

Here's the dope on the '64 that I mistakenly told you guys was a '65.IT'S A '68. Now that I have the year right....The van is in decent shape,but need some potentially expensive body work. It's already had some work done to rear corner on driver side,driver side lower panel,I guess called the beltline. The roof bows have been pulled down almost like some one got over enthusiastic pulling off panelling withhout unscrewing it.That probably caused some of the waves in the roof. The front of the van is the worst. Oh, it's straight enough,it's just the rust along the lower part of the windshield and some near the headlight. There could be more lurking along the upper part of the windshield around the seal. That's the bad news. The good news is it's got tons of really nice usable parts if one decided to buy it just for that. I don't really know the value of super straight panel doors or nice front doors. There are also some super cherry front seats,but they are highback. Are those factory? They were wrapped up,so I couldn't see them. There was also an $%*& nice dash pad in blue! I'm posting this in the hopes some one can give me advice on what to. The van is $295 with $200 owed in DMV dues. The van is currently non-op. I know that's not much and the van does have potential,not to mention great part's[the inside is sweet], but I don't need another van.Also,truthfully,I like the earlier body style{please don't take offense anyone}Money is an issue too, and I would need to get a return on it If I bought it. I just hate to see it go to a non vanner. Any takers?

I forgot to mention it's a shorty.
