Needs a little love to really shine but in ridiculously good shape for a 30 year old vehicle.

Dude that thing is sweet. You waited a long time but you got arguably the best one. Does this one have the solid front axle or IFS?

Solid Front.

Having a manual choke in the cab is probably the strangest thing for me. Starting it cold is like starting a chainsaw.

Yeah you can't go wrong with one of those things... They have been rocking it in Europe for quite some time. With a little bit of construction you could pimp one out for realz. Poor mans Sprinter Van.

yeah, psyched, i hope we go through with it.

dealer brought the car to us at home.

the one we looked at was the same as the pic. Back seats that fold up, back door on both sides. standard 6 feet in back with seats up, may get the longer model. good gas mileage plus good performance, turns on a dime, easy to park, great delivery vehicle.....headroom for days.
