Did some cross country road trips in my music days, 4 dudes and equipment crammed in an old chevy van, some of the best of times mixed in with some of the bad.

Looking to buy an old 2nd gen ford, three on the tree, customize it out, make my way for a Pacific Northwest roadtrip.

Go to the Polly Klaus auto auction. Look on the non-running side. Cars are cheeeeeeep!

I found the foundation but couldn't find the auction. Doubt they'll have what I'm looking for as these old vans have collectors, and most have rotted/rusted out over the years - 2nd gen(68-74), v8, panel, short wheel base, 3 on the tree(keeps people from stealing it as few know how to drive it).
I'll be sure to airbrush mandatory rapey fantasy scene on the side

They used to be in Vallejo but I know they moved to a small town a bit more north. I found this - To donate to the Polly Klaas Foundation, please call them directly at 707 769 1334- on this website - https://www.donatecarusa.com/pkf-notice/ - so, apparently there are many non-profits that take donated cars and sell them at auction. Worth digging.

Edit: This guy's organization handles their donations, and he links back to donatecarusa.com. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_% ... _Palmer_Jr. Best of luck.
