I feel this was $1000 well spent, needs a good tune up, has an engine noise I am hoping is just a pulley and needs some front A arm bushings.
Paint is good, no rust, everything works, seats 7.
Replaces my 94 351 Chateau that Ohio salt ate

The old girl just before her demise
The new one has the 4.6, tan interior with 4 captain chairs and the rear bench/bed. It also has a DVD player, good tires and it is black. 
I like conversion vans, however my wife doesn't. 
Nice purchase!
^ I feel your pain
Nice! I'm diggin' the running boards, and of course, the black paint. Looks tough. I would have to black out the grill if she were mine. 
Sweet!
No mural?
I like, obviously.
Nice looking van!
Did you find that in Ohio or further south? I need something similar myself.
Man I miss my old 85 Conversion van with a 351. How does the 4.6 pull? Big block 5.4 in the future?
I don't know about the generational differences in the motors, but my '97 with the 4.6 struggled -- in some cases even without a trailer attached -- but my '06 with the 5.4 seems much more comfortable pulling some weight without a lot of downshifting drama. For a grand, though, and as nice looking as that one is, I wouldn't be crying in my beer over having the smaller motor :)
In reply to wae:
The PI heads help a lot. I think my 04 F150 Heritage could have out accelerated my 95 T-bird, despite all the extra weight. No idea when the switchover was on the vans, though.
I have towing covered. This one is a work back up, parts hauler, dog hauler, shopping trolley etc
The van has been worked out already, shopping, moved a couple of TVs, hauled the dogs to the vet.
Got to the cleaning up of the inside this morning, note the pile O parts.
A really good tune up and
This got replaced
Sweet. I have a vague lust for a van, but currently my Tundra is paid for and at just the right stage of awesome.
These arrived today
You are a strange strange man. I like your style though!
Did you say $1000?!

No kidding. Utter thievery.
what wheels are those? i dont hate them.
What kind of fuel mileage do you get from such a beast? My wife wants one!
I somehow missed this thread. Nice. If it had a raised roof I'd be extremely jealous at that price. After a recent camping trip, I discovered my recently acquired Grand Caravan is really too small for my needs, so it'll be for sale soon and I'll be searching for a full sized van again. I'd still rather get a Sprinter, but those are expensive and used conversion vans are cheap.
Do the seats in yours have quick-releases? In my last van, seat removal was a royal PITA and pretty much a one-time deal (once out, the middle seats weren't going back in). What company did the conversion?
