    A nice looking custom van. But not a sandman. An original V8 manual van (253) in manderin red.

    I mean it is not a sandman. Never was. Plus everything basically been changed during resto (some would say for the better) 308, auto, 9 inch, different interior, dash, hx/hz look blackouts and stripes. A custom as I said. Not going to appeal to everyone, matter of taste. Should be advertised as a replica. I also suspect windows have been filled, but you would need to inspect to be certain and check quality of job.
