this is also a much better looking paint job.


I agree....I really dislike the current paint job. I eventually want to paint it one color and maybe add some graphics. I like the color of it before.

The color looks to be the same color as my 77 with some graphics added. Its called Dark Russet Sunfire Metallic. Not quite brown, not quite Maroon. My vote is take it back to the original color cause that van is really sweet looking in its old skin (but keep the duck!).

Good work getting her running, Im always watching for more pictures on this one. Its one sweet survivor.

Hey Munz did that picture come from Bob Morgan's picture collection ?
The picture Lee posted is one of mine from the Nations in ohio from the late 80's.
Lee sorry to hear about the battle scar.
I really like the "shorty" Gull Wing on the rear doors.
Once you dig deeper into this van there should be plenty of the original color still on the interior sheet metal.

The guy I bought it off of had a shop that installed car stereos and he had a massive system in this van and painted it to something he thought would be catchy to the young crowd he was marketing to. I think it looked WAY better in a solid color with a small stripe down the side. I am thinking of repainting it one color and possibly adding some stripes/graphics. Just don't know what color

Been there a few times myself. That's why I keep paper towels and duct tape in the garage lol

Glad you are still moving right along with the van.
