General Description
This red van with tan interior began as a standard length (not long or short) Three Quarter Ton with wonderful 5.4 liter V8 and auto with overdrive. Began with a nice list of power and convenience features such as: power windows, locks, mirrors; tilt wheel and cruise control; chrome bumpers and grill; etc.

Goodies
This was converted when new by a nationally known company called Chariot. The model is called Regent. There is a long list of fancy, functional and desirable features such as: moderately tall, contoured roof; large windows with vents and screens; power, leather drivers seat; power rear seat folds to any angle or into a bed; TV; DVD; much wood trim and cabinet doors; fancy lighting system; fancy shades; rear ventilation; fancy wheels; upgraded interior and exterior trim features

Mobility Features
This has a very high level of features and exceeds nearly all wheelchair vans. Here is the super and rare list:

* Very nice lift built by industry giant Braun, has what is called a tri-power folding platform. This allows able-bodied folks to go in and out, even when lift is stowed, because it creates an opening apx. two feet wide for a person to pass through.

* Power operated side doors, which allow opening and closing the doors via a choice of switches in various locations.

* Tall doors, which extend the usual doors, up into the tall roof area. These are as tall as I have even seen on a personal use wheelchair van, at apx 10 inches extra height. Less than 20% of all such personal use wheelchair vans have a tall door option such as this van. These are soooo nice to have as they make going in and out so much easier and more comfortable for the person in the wheelchair, as well as everyone else.

* Includes a lowered floor in the middle and front passenger areas. It is very rare for a van to have tall roof AND lowered floor, combined. Some vans achieve their interior headroom via lowered floor, and most attain it as a result of having a tall roof. However, less than 5% of all full size wheelchair vans have BOTH features. Combined, these two features create an amazing amount of entry clearance and interior headroom.

* Special floor surface is a result of the lowered floor. Rather than a lumpy, bumpy factory floor surface with squishy pad and carpet on top of it...this simply has smooth, solid surface with quality material covering it. This is super for driving a wheelchair on.

* Includes various anchoring points in the floor for securing a wheelchair, if using traditional style anchoring devices is desired.

* Includes 4 anchor straps for securing wheelchair

* includes wireless remote control for operation of power side doors and lift


Summary

Wow! The combination this rare van has of amazingly low miles, very fancy touring/cruising conversion and extensive mobility conversion, which results in super entry clearance and interior headroom is…super awesome! To create a van at today’s prices with these features would cost approximately $75,000.

Preliminary Photos

Please consider these are "preliminary" photos and as such, they typically show the van in early stages of our transformation process. As a result you may see various flaws, which will be remedied prior to sale.


Nicely tall doors and moderately tall roof and a floor lowered a few inches
leads to super entry clearance and interior headroom
This lift platform folds into three parts, with power switch, which creates a nice opening for able-bodied folks to go in and out when lift is stowed

floor is lowered 2-4 inches (varies by location) in the front passenger area and middle of van. This creates extra headroom and also creates a smooth transition, if you want to drive into that front area with wheelchair
we are in the process of putting new flooring and trim in the lowered portion of the floor, which is in the middle and front passenger area (note: center console is removed in this photo, which creates much open area around leg/knee areas for driver and person parked in wheelchair , if desired
Gorgeous, fancy interior, with leather
In these photos, flooring and edge trim has been removed, which is why it looks unfinished. It will be attractive and fresh when completed

This van has power operated side doors, which is a valuable, helpful feature
Very fancy touring/cruising conversion
Status

Rejuvenation has begun: I have recently acquired this van and the extensive rejuvenation process has begun, which is carried-out by various professional shops and specialists. If you are interested in securing this van for your future purchase (many of my vans are spoken for in this way prior to completion of rejuvenation) please feel free to call or mail me with any questions

 
NOTE: I am always searching for more vans which are a nice addition to the mix of vans we have to offer. I will post initial information here about each van as I purchase, transform, and then make them available for sale. From the time I purchase a van until my transformation process is completed, averages approximately 4-6 weeks.

Please visit this page periodically.

Thank you,

Dear Rick... I want to take this time to let you know how excited I am about the 95 Ford camping van that I bought from you. I just love it!! I truly appreciated your kindness, patience and understanding throughout the whole process. I also appreciate the quality of the van. You were nothing like those typical car salesman. You were friendly, cheerful and not pushy....and still gave me a great deal!!! I will certainly send folks your way.

Thanks again!
