This van was custom built as a forensics van and still retains many unique features. Most notable, it has double barn doors on both sides and the rear. It still retains a working police spot light on the windshield pillar and a working on-board battery charger and minding system for times when it isn't driven regularly. The interior has steel paneling on the walls and is insulated. There are 110V outlets on the exterior of the van and it was originally wired for a generator, but I do not believe the wiring is still intact.
The van is equipped with the original 318 V-8 and automatic transmission which are both in good working order. Tires are good all around and the brakes feel good and work well. The alternator and battery have been replaced recently. And believe it or not, the A/C stills blows cold even though it has never been upgraded to R-134. For it's age, the van runs and drives very well, and I used it to drive across the country and back at Christmas time.
The van carries a clear U.S title from the state of Wyoming where I purchased it, but it is now located in Victoria, B.C. It was imported into Canada properly, but will require inspection prior to registration in B.C. It could easily be exported back to the U.S for an American buyer.
This is a very solid and unique van that is worth saving for the right person. There is minimal rust along the driver's rocker, but it is surface only and there are no holes or perforations anywhere. All of the doors are in solid original condition and the underside of the van in remarkably rust free. The paint is very faded and is starting to flake off. It has had one repaint that looks like it could be twenty years old. There are a couple of very small dents from use as a cargo van and one bullet graze on the front cowl from its' days as a police vehicle. The interior condition is what you would expect from a 30 year old work vehicle, but it still cleans up OK.
The possibilities for this van are endless. It could be used for parts, camperized, or restored to its' original state as a forensics van. It is also an awesome cargo van. I have never seen another one like it.
I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere, but it can't be registered or driven in B.C. without inspection.
Payment in full is required within 72 hours of the end of the auction. The vehicle is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger
Sun, 23 Feb 2014When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
