1995 FORD E350 SUPERVAN FOR SALE
****$2000 or best offer****

The most infamous rover van in America is 
for sale.  It's a 1995 Ford E350 Supervan, 
used by N6NB to activate 62 different grid 
squares from coast to coast during recent 
VHF contests.  It has been used to set national 
scoring records in all three major VHF+ contests, 
stirring controversy because of a defect in the 
steering that seems to make the van go in circles 
around grid corners!

Facts:

*152,000 actual miles

*One owner since 1996

*15-passenger van, 9,100-lb. GVW rating
 (licensed by DMV as a station wagon)
 
*Van runs well and has been very reliable 
 (list of known foibles will be provided on 
 request, along with maintenance log)

*Van will carry enough building materials for a 
 small mountain cabin or will haul an 88-foot 
 crankup tower (nested to 23 feet and hanging 
 out the back doors with a red flag)

*Price includes the van itself with a large bed 
 in back (extra seats were removed in 1996).  
 Antennas and radio equipment are NOT included.
 High-current 12-volt cable from battery is 
 included.

*Owner has replaced this van with a very similar  
 2008 model Ford E350 Supervan

*Check it out.  Many photos of this van are online 
 at www.n6nb.com (click on the rover link).  It's 
 the big silver window van with many antennas 
 on the roof.
