It looks great, even though it is over 50 years old.
This is notable because only 376 Ultra Vans were built from 1970 to 1970. They are quite unique. It boasts a monocoque construction that is similar to what you would find in a modern supercar. The Ultra Van Motor Coach Club’s website states that the construction looks more like an aircraft, with aluminum ribs and a mixture of aluminum and fiberglass as the body. It doesn’t have a separate chassis; it rides on an independent suspension front-and-rear. Power comes from the same flat-six 140-horsepower (104 kW) engine as the Corvair. The rear wheels are driven by the same automatic transaxle.
According to Clasiq’s auction listing and a listing on Craigslist, this Ultra Van is number 358. It has 56,512 miles according to the listings and is not original. It has been repainted. The headlights have been upgraded from the original round lenses to the square ones we see. It is a 15-incher, pulled from an 1980 Chevrolet Corvette. The car runs well. Original and very 1960s, the interior features a lot of wood and brown colors. It has a sink and three-burner stove, along with a folding desk, full bathroom and a bed at its back.
Craiglist advertises a $17,000 asking price. Clasiq also lists the Ultra Van as an active auction, with five days left as of December 23rd. It currently has a reserve and the bid price is $7500. It seems like a unique opportunity for anyone looking for a unique vanlife experience.
