We try to be fair and honest in our descriptions and I'm sure I could spend all day noting the flaws in this van but if you are car enthusiast and you've been around old vehicles you understand there are always things to work on on these older vehicles, but they are things that are fixable with time and patients, that's why we like the older vehicles, no computers here. I bought this at an estate sale mainly to get the straight axle for a hot-rod project, but it would be a shame to tear up a decent old van like this as hard as they are getting to find. This has a little more rust than the usual Montana vehicles have so I suspect these were pretty bad for rusting out back east and up north in Michigan, Minnesota etc. Most of the rust is in the outer panels just below the front two doors. It is a boxed in area and it is the outer panel that is rusted, but I think any decent body guy could cut out the old, and lay on some new curved sheet metal and clean it up. There are spots in the little pockets near the back doors also that will need patch panels. The brother in law of the older fellow that owned this believed the tranny was acting up, and there was a replacement transmission in the back when we got it. It is a small V-8 with an automatic. The back two doors are banged in, but repairable, or any side or back doors from the same kind of van work for replacement. The floors are solid where we have exposed so far. If you need more pics, and more questions answered, please just ask, we want you to be happy with your purchase. This has a clear paper work in my name. An aftermarket straight axle like I want is about $950. so this is a fair price for this. I think it's a very good price for a classic early van. Great family project. Call to discuss any concerns, and storage and shipping. I have listed this before in the whole vehicle section where it costs $50 to list, and have had the out of country scammers end up high bidder so I'm trying it in the parts section to see if I can get a serious buyer. We know a couple fellows who deliver these non operating cars around the country and can get it delivered for about 65. cents a loaded mile, call for more information. Thanks, Tim 406-538-6666, keep trying, evenings are best as I can't here a fone when welding or grinding.

Mayor warning over London cycling protests
Mon, 09 Dec 2013SAFETY protests sparked by the deaths of six cyclists on the streets of the capital risk scaring people off switching from cars to bikes altogether, London mayor Boris Johnson will warn today. Mr Johnson will urge "more careful" language, suggesting pro-cycling campaigners could jeopardise the push to boost bike use by concentrating on recent fatalities when overall numbers were not up. Mr Johnson - addressing a safety summit bringing together cycle and haulage groups - will hail a £913 million investment in safety measures but urge people not to expect instant results.
BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe arrives in the UK June – new Photos
Tue, 29 May 2012With the new BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe due in the UK in June, BMW has been busy taking new photos. It was last Christmas when BMW told us that the new Gran Coupe would be priced from £61,380 in the UK (for the entry-level 640i Gran Coupe). For some reason best known to BMW’s bean counters that seems to have gone up by a tenner since December, and the 640d has gone up by a fiver.
2013 VW Beetle Convertible arrives
Thu, 04 Oct 2012The new 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible has been revealed ahead of a launch at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. The new Beetle Convertible is due to bow in at the LA Auto Show in November but VW obviously decided it was pragmatic to get an early reveal out of the way before the new Bug soft top trickled on to the Interwebs of its own accord. What we get is what we expected (although we did hold out a little hope the new Beetle Cabriolet would look more like the E-Bugster Cabriolet Concept); a convertible version of the 2012 Beetle with a pram style soft top that sits on the boot.
