Dodge Tradesman B200 van 1978 Description

1978 Dodge Tradesman B200 van. 360ci V8, automatic transmission, 4 Barrel Weber Carb, dual exhaust, dual ac units (dash and rear unit) still R12 and it will need a charge but last time I tries the compressor kicked on, chrome plated Western brand wheels, newer root beer paint with a lot of metal flake (nice paint job but not a show paint job please ask for more pics if needed), swivel bucket seats in excellent condition, rear couch folds into a bed and has the cushion that fits in to make it a correct comfortable bed, upholstery is in great shape for its age, newer carpet and flooring but still has some of the older original features (mood lighting doesn't work but is there), gold roof rack up top and will include the gold ladder that matches with bolts (I removed because I like the look without), all the glass is there and in good shape, old amber glass fog lamps are mounted but not wired, chrome on bumpers is nice but rear bumper has a minor ripple in it (ask for pics if needed), horn works, driving lights worked when I checked them last, interior lights don't work (could be bulbs?), brakes work, fires right up, hasn't ever gotten hot on me, sunroof will need new glass (glass is gone, I had planned on a brown vinyl snap cover to be made but never got around to it, tires are older but have plenty of tread just will need new ones sooner than later due to age. Power steering belt was removed when the smog pump was removed (no it won't pass smog so please know your states laws before bidding)so the power steering does not work. I have never messed with hooking it up because I just cruise it locally and it never bothered me not having power steering. Van is a classic and almost 40 years old. It is a great van but in no way is it perfect. I have tried to outline a description to the best of my knowledge. It isn't a daily driver for me. It's been a fun cruser to run to the store in. The paint shows some blemishes, carb could probably use a solid adjustment (choke is disconnected currently) and other things like that. If you're looking for a cruiser that looks nice and has a strong feel of the 70s Vannin days than this is a great van but it will need some love here and there. Fun to cruise to car shows and always hear great stories about people that had vans back in the 70s when you drive it places. I have 2 other vans and one is a show van I am building and I need to free up some cash to finish that show van. This van has a Restored AZ title, signed, notorized in my name, ready to goto a new owner but I have no idea about the history of it or the reasoning behind that stats on the title. I do know it was owned by a guy that owned a body shop before I owned it and he could have pulled anything with insurance to get the money to put the nice paint job on it. So the history is unknown. I have been over the van, under the van and everywhere in between and nothing stands out as odd or ever damaged. So PLEASE PLEASE before you bid on this van ask questions or let me send you pics of anything that may concern you.RecapNice van, good newer paint not perfect, nice interior, very sharp looking, ran it locally on roads (not highways), has ac needs recharge, power steering belt disconnected due to smog pump delete, could use a tune up, restored title, I will send any pics or info needed on this van and am an open book on it. Just ask 9513779876. VAN is located in Lake Havasu City AZ 86404. I will help load the van when payment is received if a shipping company is used. Buyer pays ALL shipping costs and I will allow up to 3 weeks for a freight company to pick up the van from my location. Payment is due within 5 business days and I cannot accept PayPal or money wires. I don't use banks but do have a mortgage through wells Fargo and they will typically cash a check for me as long as it is from another Wells Fargo. So it's cash or a wells Fargo check only. My number is 951377987 . Please call for more info. Please only bid if you have the cash. Reserve is in place to get bids, please don't ask reserve! It's an auction! Thanks and happy Vannin
