The white plymouth is a 1966 valiant.

These are VW Van in Trivandrum.He is gonna restore it soon.Still in running condition.So comfortable to travel and it is a petrol engine.

If i'm not mistaken, this one had a diesel engine once. They put back the petrol unit and it caught fire.(Not the whole van, just the engine). This is the same van right??

My friend had this chevy long time back.Now he is gonna restore it.

What is the REGN no of the chevrolet?
Is it now in Trivandrum?
by the way the VW TYPE2 (Microbus) is a late version(1973-1980) .
Does it have the original aircooled 1800 cc engine, disc brakes,etc?
has the owner any idea of selling it in this condition?

I dont know whether it has 1800cc engine or not.I know the engine is petrol.It has disc brakes.He recently bought from Tamilandu and there is no idea to sell.
