New 360 van owner from Ohio
Hellow everyone. My name is Mike and I am from Ohio. I recently purchased a 360 van from a friend of mine. He has had one for years, and I always thought that I would like to own one. He offered to sell the one that I bought to me, and it did not take very long for me to say yes. He gave it a new paint job, and did some work on the interior. mechanically it is in very good condition. I am looking forward to driving around town this summer in it. I also plan on attending several car shows with it as well. So far every one that I have contacted in the 360 club has been very helpful, and understanding.
Mike

Welcome Mike,
New paint sounds nice. We'd love to see some pictures of your new aquistion. Van's are alot of fun, you should be prepared to answer a lot of questions and expect a lot of attention when you show it off at car shows this summer.

Welcome Mike. The paint scheme wouldn't happen to bed Scarlet Red and Grey now would it?

No, actually it was done to look like the "Mystery Machine" from Scooby Doo. As soon as I can figure out how to post pictures, I will get a couple up for people to look at.

Mike,
Congrats on your new van! You're a lucky guy - most people (especially those in the East) who want a van as nice as you describe have to scour the country, then ship it from who-knows-where.

Re: New 360 van owner from Ohio
Here you go, I hope that I did it correctly. These pictures were taken while the van was still being finished at the body shop. I still am waiting on delivery, as there are the usual "little loose ends" to take care of before it is complete. I will let you know when it leaves the shop and makes it home. I imagine that there will be quite a bit of room in my garage after my Lightning is moved to storage, and my van gets parked in there.
Thanks
Mike








Thanks
Mike

Yep, you posted the pictures just fine.
What fun you are going to have! That is a great theme for the van. I hope you like attention, because you won't be able to hide from it with that scheme.

Re: New 360 van owner from Ohio
Thank you. My son absolutely loves the van. I can't wait until "delivery day". I will probably will take a days vacation, and go out for a day long joy ride.

Nice, I'm going to show my kids these pics when they get home. They know what a 360 van is and have talked about painting one like the mystery machine. I'm sure they will love it.
