1980 Ford SuperWagon

[jamesmwxyz]

I saw a 980 Ford Super Wagon advertised on Crag's list for sale.

Since I do not have any knowledge of said vehicle, I would like to find out if it would meet my need in transporting homeless workers to job sites?
It has a 351 M V-8 engine and transports 11 passengers.
The owned is asking $1100 or obo
Is this a fair price?
Also, are there any know mechanical problems with the vehicle?

Any information on this van would be greatly appertained.

Its a gas hog but should do what you want it to do transporting people.
Pay a mechanic to inspect the vehicle before purchasing. They have companies who do this in the Atlanta Ga. area.
Maybe you can use an independent shop. Have them pull all wheels and do a complete brake inspection. If you can afford it pay for a compression test.
Look for any codes if any light is staying on when driving.

Good advice. Get it checked out by a mechanic. That price is pretty low if the van is mechanically sound.
For that low price, expect that some minor mechanical work may need to be done, such as brakes, filters, coolant hoses, oil change, tune up etc.
But as noted above, you need to aviod a rusty frame/body, worn-out engines and bad transmissions.
Otherwise, these vans are decent vehicles. They are solid, reliable, easy to maintain. Parts and service tends to be cheaper than new cars and trucks.
Good luck.
