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

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.

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

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. Bill |

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

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.
