Hey, My name is Craig, I live in Montana. I own an older restoration '70 360 sedan Auto-Clutch. I am looking at getting some vans soon but they are really rough, so I signed up to see if I could get some help finding out what they are worth. Or maybe find one in better condition. Ill see what i can do about posting a link to some pics later today, so you can tell me what these jobers are worth.
Peace
I Am New Here, Vans, and other interesting subjects.

Here are the vans i am looking at. I work in a body shop so i am not too worried about the bodys. I am, however, worried about the cost to aquire all of the missing parts. There aren't many of these in Montana.

Whoa.
I'm glad you work in a body shop Craig!. You have vision.
( and I thought my vans were bad ) Amazingly, neither van appears to have rust.... you're 'Very Lucky' there.....
Looks like a lot of the rear glass is missing........... I think you could make 1 good van of the two ( MAYBE a good panel van ?)
I hope there are titles?
In my opinion...I'd offer about 100 bucks for both vans and hope you had enough parts to make one good one. I'd forget making one completely original, but, as a body-guy I'd say go for it!.
If you're thrifty/creative/crafty......... think of them like a blank slate waiting for art.

If you can get both of them for $100. or so, you may have what you need to make one good one. If you can make that deal, and have a space for them under cover, start inventorying what's there and what's missing. If too much is missing, you can part them out and still come out ahead.
But do it the honest way, offer the parts to Club members at set prices, don't scalp them on e-bay.
