Let's see, where to begin. The cost of a top is $5195. That makes it seem like a pretty good deal. Consider the top is likely salvage as they don't come silver- that was painted to match a silver van, so unless someone has a strange sense of style and money to burn making it not match, it probably came from a silver van.
The V8 has been questioned for sufficient power- not for a van, but for a fully built out SMB style interior. I don't remember any specific conclusions, but you're also talking larger tires which without gearing will cost power.
The interior is rough. The sub-floor is a great start if they've done a decent job, but who knows. I would count on ripping it out. The door panels are missing which makes completing the interior that much harder/more expensive. Screens on the rear windows make me think this was a work van (before the top).
Also the top is missing the PH bed and that outlet hanging out makes me wonder what powers it or where it plugs in. I wouldn't count on a free invertor or anything, but I'm curious.
There are definitely worse places to start, and the top is already there.
