Custom 70s style Chevy Van 350 Automatic

This auction is for the van without the custom wheels shown! I have the stock wheels/tires back on it now as seen in the last photo.
I listed it this way because I know most people do not want to pay the cost of the wheels/tires as they are a $2000 CNC machined and powder-coated set.
I like finding these stock work vans that are completely rust free and turning them into a 70s style custom van like this. I look for a van with a good running engine and transmission and rust free original body. I basically find them and build them and find the next owner for them. I enjoy doing this and the reason I started DVW is so I could re-create 60s/70s style custom rides. Some I have painted, but mostly they aree like this one, a blank canvas to do what ever you like with.
This chevy has a fuel injected 350 5.7L with overdrive. The engine runs strong, quiet, and cool. The transmission shifts smooth as it should. It brakes strong. I replaced a few items as preventative maintance: new starter, new alternator, catalytic converters. New in the last few years: radiator, hoses, thermostat, water pump, plugs cap rotor plug wires. Inside is open cargo, it had been fully sound/heat insulated inside and is ready for interior.
I have had the van for about 6 months. Long enough to confidently say it's starts and runs very good. Here is all: There was no door key when I bought it and the driver door does not have the lock cylinder. Driver side mirror is cracked. Has many scratches, dings and the dents on the side cargo doors as seen. It was re-painted probably 10 years ago. A/C is not cold. Inside driver door handle, window crank are broken, windshield has a crack, rear end is loud, loud (can hear it whining). The steering has a lot of play. The speedometer bounces and is dying, correction in the lazy fee weeks, it's done. Passenger seat has a bad rips, door seals are worn, headlight trim. There is a list to do and nothing is very difficult to repair - there are no rusted nuts or bolts and every part for this van is easily located and cheap to buy. I suppose technically there is some faded sunburned spots on roof that are orangish "rust" I guess, the surface kind that is rubbed off with SOS/steel wool.
Shipping the van is simple, just dont pick the cheapest place you can find. There is a local shipper here I trust and have used several times. They are a little more expensive on average - but the drivers and their equipment is on the higher level.
I doubt anyone wants to do this, but I will offer to drive the van to the winning bidders location in the USA for the cost of gas, my plane ticket home, and the cost to repair the wheel bearing before hitting the road. Gas costs from AZ to say NY is gong to be about $500-600. the flight would be around $250, and bearing probably about $250-300 also. At that cost its probably easier to ship it and save the 2500-3000 miles for your road trips.
If you can pick it up locally, cash payment will be accepted. If you have to ship it, bank wire transfer is safest and is preferred, but I can accept a check once it clears, or paypal as long as the payment is sent without fees or you make sure the amount I receive is the full amount. I can help with storigng it if you need time for something, i do expext payment in full within 7 days. A deposit really isnt if you are paying full on time. Thats all I can think of.
International sales are welcome.
