Presenting
my trusty 1987 Dodge Ram Van B 250 customized as the Ultimate Windsurfing
Van for sale -
Only
149,000 miles
I
purchased this exceptional vehicle on
my arrival in the USA in 1993. It had around 79,000 miles on it and I purchased
it from the original owner.
I used it to travel and windsurf every
decent spot on the entire USA coastline (E. coast, Gulf coast and W.
coast). I customized it to be the ultimate windsurf van. I wanted it to
house all my windsurfing gear, but still allow me to sleep in it at any
time without having to rearrange the interior. I custom welded the board
frame to keep the windsurfing boards out of the way, and I built the bed
to provide storage and protection for the masts and sails.
The
exterior is in good shape, having been repainted in 1999. It has a few
rust spots which is to be expected from a 16 year old vehicle. The Van
runs exceptionally well and boasts the following features,
