That motor of hers will outlive anybody you know (60,000 original miles). She's the most simple vehicle you'll ever work on. She's a model both visually and audibly.
The price I'm selling Donna Jean is frankly a dishonor to her and myself. I've invested at least $30,000 into her future, in the two years I've known her. A patch of her roof was replaced, her entire body was repainted, repairs were performed by Point S Tire, and I've spent countless hours stressing over her conversion into a camper.
You'll keep most of the accessories I bought. Namely her six roof racks, wiring for a solar panel system (no solar panel), plywood shelving, live-edge wood attached to that shelving, fir strips along the ceiling and inside the walls, wool batting for insulation, wool rolled across the ceiling and windows for shade, futon mattress, and an EcoFlow alternator charger. Also included is a Haynes repair manual and full-size spare tire.
What I personally installed, you'll probably want to pull.
My carpentry was amateurish at best. She's a gas hog. There's a transmission fluid leak. Some of her newer white paint chipped, and older orange paint remains around the passenger-side door. The "Dodge Ram" insignia that's included needs to be fixed to the passenger-side door. Her driver-side headlight is missing one of two little plastic clips inside, making the whole unit droop down. The steering wheel pulls to the right sometimes while driving, and pulls to the left sometimes while braking. A large dent (painted over) exists on the passenger side. Minor rust exists, most noticeably around the driver-side back-corner gutter. Water leaks into the cab through multiple seals. Two teeth on her grille appear to be missing. The safety neutral switch I'm including needs to be installed. She's FWD, and heavy behind the rear axle. Did I mention my carpentry? Those are all of the issues I know about.
She's not getting the love she deserves. Every time I'm back in town, I think I'd rather finish school than finish her. Those are my reasons for selling her.
Mechanical paperwork, owner's manual, and registration will be in her glovebox when we meet. Pick a vehicle licensing office within an hour's drive of Shoreline, and I'll drive the van there when my work next permits me to (I'm often out in the woods for work, without cell service).
Text or email me, please. $7,000 OBO.
Sorry, Donna Jean.
