Wow! What a cream puff! I say that because most of these vans were usually beaten to death by A/C or plumbing contractors that knew a good thing when they bought one. It wasn't that uncommon to see one of these with over 300K on it. Aside from the Ford Econoline, I can't think of any other van built tougher than this. BTW, I think your mystery body is a citreon 4CV.
My dad had one of these in a maroon/tan two tone back when I was in middle school. His had a 440 that we hopped up to make it like the legendaty Super commando 440's of the 60's and not the smog choked mid 70's verison. The only full size van in town that could lay rubber for 500 feet hehe.
Best of OPC.

Awesome! It looks like it should be hauling a bunch of boy scout members of Troop 25 to a jamboree!
Odd looking front end on the Baja behind the van. Looks like a Thing front grafted on it from this angle.
I never liked these second generation vans that FORD CHEVROLET & DODGE offered.

Mmm. Orange creamsicle. What an awesome color combo!
It's odd how 40 year old work truck is more attractive and distinctive than all the late-model luxury cars parked nearby. "Progress", I guess..
Great two tone.
