Default Very nice old conversion van for sale

This van belongs to my late grandfather. The selling price is negotiable. Keep in mind the money is going to my grandmother so I'm not going to give it away, but a fair deal on this pretty nice old van. It's a 1989 Ford Econoline 150 SL and is the long wheelbase as you can see. The body and graphics all seem to be in near perfect condition except a little faded, and a few very small rust spots. Oh I remember one running board is very lightly tweaked. I'm pretty sure it's got the 5. oh motor. It has curtains etc.. I drove it twice and everything seems to work perfectly. Power locks/windows etc., wood trim with cupholders etc.. I took a bunch of pictures, I can email them and I'm gonna put them on cardomain

Default CONCLUSION...pretty funny

The van has been no longer available for a couple months, but I finally got a cable to download pics from my phone, so here is the van. The insurance company paid my grandmother like $1,1xx dollars after $300 deductible. Pretty sweet deal considering it had been for sale in my yard for a couple months and even at 1300 were getting about zero inquiries...

I could have bought it back from the insurance company for about 200 clams. It was a tossup. I let it go though, because I alreay have too many vehicles that need fixing in my yard besides renovating everything I can afford in my new old house. Actually that's why I bought the Z, it was going to work great right out of the box...and boy does it work!

Well anyway, here is the after pic, pretty funny, a third of the tree closest to the road where it was for sale fell on it!

No tough luck about it. We were having a hard time selling it, and she got a bunch of money for it :-) Oh yeah, I forgot, it happened the morning of the ceremony when we buried his ashes. Kind of spooky. It was a very windy day I remember.
