    Welcome Samson. The leads come in daily. Keep your eyes on "earlies for sale" section and be ready to pull the trigger when you see what you are looking for. For sale adds are found Nation wide and posted there for your viewing and bidding pleasure, but be ready, if she is nice, contact the seller immediately or you may miss out.

      Ah yes, 23! That's the age I was when I got bit by the early bug! Be warned, it can be terminal.

      MANY have found their vans here. Be patient, but be ready. Catching the right one is like catching the right wave.

        There's a '64 in Oceanside for sale.



        check it out carefully though! Could have rust cancer in the roof and possible title issues (hopefully the title has been sorted out by now).

          Don't think you'll find one, but those 4 cyl's are very under powered, the 6 is a better choice

            Hey Sam, welcome fellow Californian! I just found a van up here in Central Calif, so there is hope. I can tell you that posting a want ad on Craigslist is a waste of time and I would stay away from 4 bangers unless its a hopped up Ford lol.

              I posted a nice looking '64 GMC in the for sale section today. It's in KY, but that's a minor issue.
