It's been in a local yard, and I've tried to buy it off and on over the years. Finally got lucky.... It's being drug out now, and getting a set of wheels.... It looks rough, but is solid. It used to have a Close Encounters mural on the side that has since faded away: They have the grille somewhere.. BUT...... it has been closed up and the interior.... well, it rocks: I will keep you posted. | | | Re: From out of the woods.... | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 3,059 Likes: 3 LOST SOUL | LOST SOUL Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 3,059 Likes: 3 | Very cool that you are saving the van. Looks to be a 1977 or later since I see the body line on the side of the van. Please keep us posted.

I bet it IS a '77. It's a bill of sale only deal. I'm not savvy on my vans...

You could get a funky custom horn...
Windows- they're what make a van worth owning! | | | Re: From out of the woods.... | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 43 newbie | OP newbie Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 43 | Not going to redo the Close Encounters mural, but I've got a top-secret UFO idea that is going to be out there... (bad pun intended) but the van will definitely stay space themed. I have to get it on all four-wheels first... I am pretty excited.
On the back door it says "We are not alone" .. I will be putting that back on there.
