Deal of the Week

I have a ritual I preform every Sunday after church. I look around on Craigslist for cars. Since moving to Mississippi I have have felt a bit of an underwhelming feeling every time I look at the Jackson listing. I keep forgetting  how big the DFW metroplex is compared to where I am now.

Anyone familiar with the DFW metroplex knows it's a lot more than just Dallas and Fort Worth. It also refers to the smaller urban areas in between the two city's and the larger towns surrounding the entire area. It's huge and the DFW Craigslist listing covers it all. So, I have gone back to searching the DFW listing. If I ever find something good I can always make the trip back down.

It doesn't happen often but every once in a while I come across something that is to good to be true, today is one of those days. One of my weekly searches is for vans. To grab a wider result I simplify my search terms like "dodge van", as opposed to "1976 Dodge B100". Querying that term (Dodge Van) I came up with an awesome result.

The listing said "Dodge Van For Sale - $900 (Dallas)". I always jump on these listings because the year is not listed because they are often older vans and they think it will scare away people from clicking. A lot of people don't know what they have when it comes to an older van.

This is obviously the case with this guy. The Dodge van for sale for $900 is a certifiable Mid 70's Good Times van. I called the guy and asked some questions. The paint is as old as the van and was purchased at a custom van dealer in '76. The body has very little rust and the only real problem seems to be the brakes.

If it weren't for the lack of storage space at my place I would buy this rig in a heartbeat

For those interested the sale can be found here.
