This is an original California "Survivor" 1973 Chevy van 10 "Shorty" Panel Van.
The 250 c.i. in line 6 cylinder engine starts right up and runs extremely well! Mechanically the van is awesome! The idle is a smooth as a Rolex. There are no leaks, smoke, overheating issues or strange noises. The entire drive train is solid and tight. Really nice!
-The brakes, clutch, steering and suspension are in good working order.
-All electrical systems operated properly when tested
-Climate controls operate
The structural integrity is superb and the frame is rock solid. The exterior finish is original with a tremendous amount of character and patina!. There are minor dings, dents, chips, scratches, scrapes, hazing, fading, nicks and various other imperfections you will usually find on most un-restored vehicles. Where the drivers fender meets the door there was a minor dent that wasstraightened out. There is nobondo anywhere whatsoever and no accidents. This van is completely honest and is truly a special find in this condition.
The frame, rockers, wheel wells, floors, drip rails and rest of the van are excellent!
The overall appearance is very clean and respectable looking!
-Tires all have decent tread remaining....however they have dry cracks and will need to be replaced
The interior is great overall condition. Very nice seating surfaces and dashboard (near perfect without a single crack) with radio delete option present and intact. Even the little cups that hold the seat belt buckles are still in tact......remarkable! (see pics)
This is a true American classic and rare "Shorty" van that could serve the new owner very well for years to come as it sits. It is the perfect candidate for a show quality restoration.
