I had a look at two Panel Vans for sale here in Mt. Gambier last week. I was very interested in them but too many other projects and lack of space made me decide not to buy them.
One Van is windowless, it has a red motor and trimatic fitted, also a HR Drum brake front end. It is about 95% complete, but needs new front floor sections and sill panels and rust repairs in the tailgate. The rest of the vehicle is not too bad, but it is a total strip down and rebuild job.
The other Van has had windows fitted, I would say by a dealer originally. It has a red motor and 3 speed original gearbox and some fairly old mags on it. I think it also has a HR front end (not sure on this as it was getting dark by the time I looked under it). This car is basically driveable if the brakes are bled, it has some rust in the front gaurds and around the airvent in front of the windscreen. It has some minor rust in the front floor. It could be tidied up, repainted and driven, although a total strip would be better.
Both cars have been registered in SA with red motors.
The owners name is Scott Bradley and he is asking $2000.00 for the pair (he will drop to $1800), but he will not seperate the two (otherwise I would have bought one and found somewhere to squeeze it).
Realistically I think the windowed van is worth $1000.00
and the windowless is probably worth $600.00. I don't know whether he will drop that low, the only advantage is his farther wants them out of his shed...NOW.
Scotts mobile number is 0418-84 9040 . hope they find a good home.
Cheers
Jock
