I am in need of a roadworthy cargo van (full size) prefer with racks (ladder & interior)

Both the engine and transmission were rebuilt in the last few hundred miles ( have paperwork) and the body was repainted a few years ago, could use some touch up but still nice looking. The interior is leather (tan) and the headliner was removed to redo but has since been lost (do have all the hardware though) and the vinyl top should be redone. I was quoted by a local shop for under $650 they could do it all. For less than a couple thousand this could be a show car. It has been stored inside and off the road for the last 3 years and ready to be enjoyed! Put some fresh fuel in her and new fluids, etc and ride in old school style. I have no use for it, but don’t need to sell it, and it deserves to be loved and enjoyed! I would consider trades or partial cash/trades for the right deal (looking for a nice sailboat or Cargo Van w/ ladder or interior racks) so bring your offers. Book value on these are insane and rising, Now is the time to make an investment with a great return on your time and money! I have all kinds of receipts, books, brochures, spare parts, car cover and a trunk full more to go with the car.
