That thing is incredibly clean.
Interesting that he states that the paint is original.
The relief panel (wipers/washer jets) below the windshield, above the "hood" was painted satin black on all vans from the factory.
Not that it matters much but….

Big bucks for a 2wd too.

I almost bought one of those a year or two ago, but came to my senses and didn't. I still like them from afar, but the low fuel economy, difficulty of working on them (the engine is under the seat) and the pain of driving and parking it on narrow urban streets made me prefer to watch other people driving them around. It would still be my first choice if I needed a van for some reason.
