1963 International Metro Van AM-120 Custom Food Truck

Description

START YOUR BUSINESS IN TIME FOR A RECORD SUMMER
This is a completely custom food truck that was fabricated inside a rare restored metro van. The food truck was built as a non self-contained truck (we were attached to a commisary kitchen), which is perfect for catering and events. You may need to alter the hood vent system for your area's regs. It was designed as a cuban food truck to serve cubanos and hot hold beans and cuban pork-- It was in operation for only 2 weeks. The van is a major head turner, and just about every customer compliments it/inquires about it. It starts and runs amazing, and it really does have that feel that the engine and power train will last forever. With the solar system, you always have working 12v lights and usb chargers without being plugged into anything! With the 4 batteries and solar panel, this system will never lose 12v power no matter when/where you are.

Why am I selling this?
This project took 2 years from start to finish. I started another business during that time, and I can't run them both at the same time, so I am making a choice.
Please contact me for a link to a larger album and video walkthrough, startup, driving, etc.
Pickup, or I also would be happy to discuss me shipping the van to you (US ONLY).
