Options and Equipment THE VAN: This began as a 1/2 ton, standard length model with upgraded XLT level trim. It has a small-block 5.8 liter V8 (351) and automatic with overdrive. Has full convenience features such as power windows, mirrors, locks and tilt, cruise control, stereo system, front and rear ventilation systems, alloy wheels, chrome bumpers and more. GOODIES: When new this van received a major transformation of the cruising/touring nature which included extensive cosmetic and functional improvements such as: aluminum running boards; large "picture" windows with vents; much real wood trim and accessories inside; pleated fabric window shades; fancy fabrics on ceiling and walls; Upgraded carpet; various custom interior lighting; also has new chrome protective side moldings and classy striping accents Mobility/Adaptive features: * As you may have learned on this website or elsewhere, wheelchair vans achieve their interior headroom and side entry clearance via one of two methods: some have a tall roof and side doors and others have a deeply lowered floor. This van has the deepest floor possible, which is 8 inches. And it is an ideal floor because it is not only low in the middle and side entry area, but it is lowered all the way to the dash...on BOTH sides. (Many low floor vans are only lowered in the middle section of the van) Very notably: the floor lowering process greatly benefits the side entry area, which has a whopping 8 inches extra clearance. Check out the photo of the tape measure indicating the 55 inches of entry clearance at the lowest point. This side clearance dimension is similar to a typical van with a tall roof and tall doors! However, with this van you can go into even the shorter of the drive-thru window lanes, parking garages, carports, etc * Both front seats are mounted on quick-release pedestals and have wheels on them. This allows you to easily remove either front seat in order to park a wheelchair in the front passenger area, or to park a wheelchair in the drivers location * Has various versatile locations in the floor for utilizing anchor straps to secure a wheelchair * Equipped with a Crow-River lift, which is produced by #1 industry-giant, "Braun". This model is called a "Vangater" and it has a single arm design which when combined with the folding two part platform, creates a generous pass-thru space when stowed. This allows friends and family easy ingress/egress to the middle and rear of the van. The single post design (versus having two upright posts) also creates generous clear space behind the front passenger seat, in case you want to park a wheelchair there, or if you want to fully recline the existing seat. In a van with a two post lift, you cant do either of those actions. * Has Braun-brand power openers for the side doors which open with a simple switch control. * Has brand new rubberized flooring material, which is much preferred to carpet by most folks in wheelchairs and their friends and family, because it is much easier to clean and is much easier to roll the wheelchair on. * Several locations (on dash and rear exterior and on lift) with switches to operate the power side doors and the lift features. When combined with removable front seat/s, this van is fully operational by certain people in wheelchairs with no assistance needed from another person.
Dimensions, capacity and specifications: Please feel free to email or call me with any such questions. I will gladly assist with anything you wish to know. I have discovered that due to the unique way each person evaluates, measures and expresses their needs, I can be most helpful regarding this subject if we communicate directly.
History of Ownership Has had only two owners. The first owner had it for about 6 years and the family I acquired it from owned it since then. For the first couple of years it was in Colorado and then spent the rest of its life in Central and northern California. The reason this has such incredibly low miles is because the first owner used it only at their vacation home/s and the second owner was very wealthy and this was his "extra wheelchair van" and it was rarely used.
Certified This vehicle is 'CERTIFIED': There are a combined 76 mechanical and cosmetic aspects included in the Wheelchair Van Oasis "Certification" process. A foundational step of the rejuvenation process is when each vehicle receives an extensive inspection by an objective, independent third- party service and repair facility. Suggested service, repairs and improvements are then performed by various professional specialists. The result is your assurance that each of the 76 aspects meets or exceeds the condition level of good, or satisfactory For details regarding list of 76 cosmetic and mechanical aspects, please click here.

Carfax Report
Summary No accidents, nothing derogatory on the report
You Might Like To Know... * Each of my vans has a superb paint sealant as the final step of the extreme detail. If you were to have a professional apply a treatment the cost would be several hundred dollars. * Ford vans had a major style and content change in 1992, after being similar for 17 years. Other than minor cosmetic changes and updates over the years they are largely unchanged from 1992 until the mid-2000's. Therefore, due to the amazing overall condition of this van, it could easily pass for a van of 1/2 its years, or newer. * A new van with similar touring/cruising conversion as well as this extensive mobility conversion would cost $60,000-$65,000 ! Summary of this Gem With 34k actual miles and now highly rejuvenated to "Certified" condition, this is a special, wonderful van which represents a super overall value. Rarely does a wheelchair van at this price offer so much function, premium condition and low miles. |
Notice the
deeply lowered
floor, which is
a full 8
cinches...it
is the most
possible. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
Notice the
platform is able
to fold in half,
which creates a
space for an
able-bodied
person to go in
and out when
lift is stowed.
This feature
also lends to
having lots of
room for a
wheelchair to
move in and out
of the front
passenger
seating area. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |

Adjustable

The extra
space between
the body and top

due to the

which
necessitates
raising the body
a few inches in
order to
dimensionally
compensate (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |

This body
style began in
1992 and looks
extremely
similar until
the mid 2000's.
Given the
immaculate
condition of
this van, it
could easily
pass for a van
of 1/2 its
age...or even
newer. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |

Has factory
stereo and

engine
compartment is

This van has a
very nice
feature for a
wheelchair van,
which is a
factory
dual-battery
system.
And both
batteries are
brand new,
heavy-duty....and
are the finest
brand, which is
"Interstate". (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |

Both seats
are easily
removable and
when removed
expose a track
system for easy
anchoring of
wheelchair (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
|
Rear
ventilation
ducts are custom
mounted in this
side-wall
location which
is very helpful,
adjustable and
comfortable for
wheelchair
users. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
This lift is
in super
condition, after
having had very
limited, light
use. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
Generously-sized
platform will
accommodate most
wheelchairs and
their users (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
Gorgeous
interior has
deluxe fabrics,
real wood trim,
lots of
adjustable
lighting, large
windows with
vents and
screens, and
much more. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
This
rubberized floor
is brand new and
is much
preferred by
most folks in
wheelchairs and
their friends
and family
because it stays
much cleaner and
is so much
easier to roll
the wheelchair
on than carpet. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
This is a
good view of the
quick-release
mechanism and
wheels on the
seat pedestal.
These seats can
be removed or
installed in a
couple of
minutes. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
Another nice
view of the seat
pedestal.
The release
mechanisms are
very simple and
easy to use. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
Rear seat
folds very flat
into a bed or
bench. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
Has just a
hair less than
55 inches of
clearance at the
lowest point of
the side entry.
This is
comparable to
the clearance on
an average van
with tall roof
and tall side
doors (this is
because the
floor is lowered
on this van, not
only in the main
floor area , but
at the
entry-point as
well) (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
Power
opening side
doors add a
large measure of
versatility,
assisting folks
in wheelchairs
who are capable,
to load and
unload
themselves. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
These are
lockable
controls for the
power side doors
and lift. They
are located next
to the rear
license pate. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
|
Has controls
on the lift, or
above the
driver, and on
rear license
plate area (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
These
controls operate
the lift, which
are necessary if
a person in a
wheelchair wants
to load and
unload
themselves. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
Nifty,
useful....extra
piece of mind:
This switch
utilizes the
factory-installed
dual-battery
system. If
your main
battery goes
dead for some
reason, this
switch allows
for using the
extra battery to
start the van. (Click on Picture to Enlarge) |
You can
easily remove
either front
seat to allow
parking a
wheelchair in
either front
location. |
