1976 Dodge Tradesman 200 Maxivan Only 45k miles. Shagadelic Carpet Survivor

Description

1976 Dodge Tradesman 200 Maxivan. Very original, completely RUST FREE, with period carpeting throughout, and I do mean throughout... You could wear a straightjacket in there and let the van roll down the hill and be just fine.
This was last owned by Lance Legault the actor. He was in just about every T.V. show and many films. I suppose most well know for playing Colonel Decker in "The A-Team." He passed away in 2012. I am helping his wife sell some of the cars. This has already been transferred to her name, placed on a non op, and title is signed and clear.
This was purchased by Lance in 1984 from his wife's parents, who bought it just like this back in the 70's at Gentilly Dodge in New Orleans. (Still wears the dealer plate on the rear door) The mileage of just 45,210 is accurate, with some oil change and maintenance logs in the glove box going back to 38k. Lance loved making things better and faster so after he purchased it, the van's 318 motor was given an Edelbrock performer intake manifold and a Carter AFB Competition Series carb with dual exhaust and Flow Master mufflers. Trans is a 727 Torqueflite.
The van was running just fine when parked in 2013. The engine cover was loose and was left pulled away from the motor. This allowed rabbits to get in the van for years. So, yea lots of shaggin was happening in the van hahaha... Ok, anyways... I vacuumed up the carpet, and cleaned the seats. But I'm not sure I would want to keep that carpet...
One of the roof vents is busted, you can see someones tape job on it. This allowed some water in. The carpet is starting to hang down in front by front seats. There are lounge style lights and speakers in the ceiling. A back cushion is missing on the couch. The couch folds down into a bed. One of the two rear facing seats is missing the metal stand to hold it off the ground. Also the base plate for the table to stand up is missing. None of the cargo area seats are currently bolted in. The vinyl is not great on any of the seats. I would say poor, or if it doesn't look bad it was gross before I cleaned it... Looooots of "Armor All."
The rabbits or rodents have chewed a handful of wires under the hood and all of the spark plug wires. I do not see any coolant in the radiator, may just be low. Brakes may need some work, at least a thorough check out. I have not been able to give them a good test.
Seriously the driest rust free vehicle from the '70's I have ever seen. Very straight. One ding, tear in the metal, on passenger side front next to side of grill. Small. Also a small ding on roof. May be a few others but haven't noticed any beyond those.
Here is a video walk around, check it out before bidding.
