Options and Equipment

THE VAN: This began as a 3/4 ton with famously reliable (and best MPG compared to other brands) 5.7 engine and optional automatic with overdrive. As original equipment it had an extensive option package which included dual A/C, tow-package, HD cooling, large 33 gallon fuel tank, upgraded inside and outside trim, window tint, full power and convenience features and more.  

THE GOODIES: As is customary with luxury touring/cruiser conversion vans such as this; it was bought new from the factory by a conversion company who upon completion sold to a dealer. This conversion is from a super company called 'Discovery'.  Several  professionals during the 'Rick's rejuvenation' process commented about how extremely high-quality this conversion is.  It has wonderful, thick leather (flawless) and solid wood trim abounds, as you see in the photos.  It has extensive custom lighting, TV, VCR, 2 stereos, Many storage spaces, running boards and flares, window shades, rear-mounted spare, Vacuum, air compressor, fire extinguisher, rear bench seat that reclines to any level and also folds flat to a bed big enough for two, clothes-rack and much more including...an insulated ice box in the floor! There are a total of 4 high-quality leather captains chairs, one of which is included with the van (see separate photo below) but was removed to create the space that a person now parks the wheelchair.

MOBILITY:  This has a very unique, wonderful, heavy-duty and easy to use side lift. This is called a 'Mobile-Tech' UVL (under vehicle lift) and is the most innocuous of all lifts and ramp styles.  This company was purchased by and such products are now sold with the brand name 'Braun', which is considered by most to be the ultimate/finest brand of mobility equipment. When not in use, this unit is only visible from the passenger side as you see the face of it UNDER the van, below the running-board. There are NO parts inside, whatsoever...never! This amazing device is operated with a wireless remote control. Lift a person and chair up to being exactly level with the floor of the van and you simply roll in and out and when you are done with it, the entire unit stows away and is virtually hidden. There is absolutely nothing intruding whatsoever into the floor or entry area of the van! No blockage, no platforms and therefore no rattles or noises due to inside machinery...this is awesome!

History of Ownership

This only had one owner until less than one year ago.  Therefore, the original owners were the only users except for a few thousand of it's super low miles.
 

History of Care

This van has had exceptional care, and it shows and you can feel it. As is often the case with such vans, I did not get the receipts of history from the estate I bought it from.  As with each of my vans; this has had a detailed inspection by a major shop here in Medford.  It was in such great condition it needed nothing extra, beyond the customary oil and lube service.  Both ends of brakes are better than 50%, has nearly new quality tires, no notable leaks, A/C both blow cold, etc, etc. This van functions, runs and drives wonderful in every way. Is is smooth, strong and solid...as you would hope.

As part of my 'Rick's rejuvenated'' process for wheelchair vans, each mobility component is inspected, serviced, adjusted and repaired (if needed) by the premium company in this area which exclusively cares for wheelchair vans.

You Might Like To Know...

* Chevy's of this vintage get better MPG than Dodge or Ford. 

* Very rare and desirable to find a beautiful wheelchair van of 'normal' size that seats 6 people PLUS the person in a wheelchair. This ability is due to the unique style of lift under the van, which most effectively utilizes the interior space.

* Each of my vans has a superb paint sealant as the final step of the extreme detail.  The typical cost of this treatment is several hundred dollars.

Summary of this Gem

Here you have a super-luxury touring/cruising wheelchair van with amazingly low miles.  And as with each of my vehicles, it is in immaculate condition in every way.  And with raised roof, very efficient seating (6 in extreme comfort + wheelchair) and wireless remote control lift that hides under the van...this one would be virtually impossible to duplicate in this price-range.
