Quigely
 
My neighbor has owned this van since 2001. I have lusted over said van ever since.

It is a custom E350 diesel with after market 4x4 by these guys: http://www.quigley4x4.com/

Custom interior by these guys: http://www.sportsmobile.com/

100K on the clock, one owner, the most anal retentive guy I know. $16.5.

It was out of my hands:cool:

DId you buy it??. That is gonna make one awesome leisure van. Tow your car to the track on Saturday, Go camping in the mountains on Sunday. I have had conversion vans most of my life. I used to pull my track cars with them, and use them for vacations/trips, concerts etc.. . Almost got a 4x4 chevy van a few years back . They dont haul gravel or fire wood too well, but will do any thing else you ask of them . Nothing better than van camping.

I did. My son and I head for the Smoky Mountains during his spring break in April: I'll will tow my 1983 RX 250 Honda and his old four runner for non hiking days.

It is in perfect shape.

what kind of MPG do you expect?

Seahawk 02-24-2009 12:46 PM

Chip (my neighbor) says 18 to 20 on the highway in 2 wheel drive...lock the hubs and wave good-bye.

This thing has an outdoor shower, all the hook-ups and a fold down queen bed:)

That thing is awesome!

Paul, I like that. I have gone through one tank of gas in my diesel powered Excursion and I got about 18 mpg, with I'd say 75% freeway driving and 25% city driving, so I am looking forward to seeing the mileage on a long trip. The higher altitude seems to help mileage though.

It would kill the mileage, and be totally impratical, but some bigger tires would look sweet on that.

A girl I knew back in high school had one - she used to call it her "boom boom van". :D

God bless you, i could not imagine being trapped in that with my old man for hours on end. I envy you your closeness with your boy. Not all of us have that.

Enjoy...way cool rig! SmileWavy

I am sooooo jealous! I always thought one of those would be the pinacle of van ownership. I still miss my old one, & it was just an regular old van.

I'm very lucky...a lot of it is spending a bunch of time together on the farm doing guy stuff.

That and he is a much better Son than I am a Father...trust me on that. He is solid gold...wants to be a sniper, BTW: I just nod, cool as the back side of a well digger:cool:

how is the van working out? i casually did some searching (i kinda want one) and you got a killer deal.

those sportsmobile 4x4 conversions are crazy money! i found one for $75k used!

legion 04-23-2009 10:08 AM

Is that a wet bar in the back? :D

I sold it and gave the profit back to the guy I bought it from (who is my closest neighbor and a great guy). I sold to a couple in New York State for about 4k more than I paid for it. My buddy actually delivered it to them.:cool:

Long story, but I hated driving it...
