Wow, flashbacks for me. Used to own a 64, paid $475 for it, got ripped off. Noticed that this one does not have much stock equipment on it. No floor heater, wrong rear bumber, front chrome pieces are missing. $20,000 hey? wow, who would have thought.

Huge flashback for me too! I actually aquired a bashed up, rusty old window van like this in exchange for a set of magnetic signs for a house painter that bought a new van. This unit was in real sorry shape but it was kind of a party wagon for a few months when I was still a teen.
Then one day while I was driving it the seat under me caught fire. The battery which is mounted under the seat obviously had a short in the cable. I got the fire out no problem but I parked it at the farm and never drove it again. It's still there if someone wants to make an offer! I'll even get it fixed and paint it like that one for that kind of coin!(LOL)

Bruce, the photos of the van are featured in the new book "the art of Von Dutch" if thats not documentaion, then I suppose you would need to autenticate the book as well.
