    I've been dragging arse this morning, but I'm awake now.

    NOTE: That's "dragging," not "dragoning."

    I am not sure what the word for mouth open tongue wagging and drool but I think GROIN GRABBING TRANSCENDENT works nicely.

    For a minute there, I though it was going to say "Call SPECTRE".

    Damn, but this car suits the super villain like an Aston suits Bond.

    Two door. Wagon.

    This is J-nik. The Ford is the only right answer.

    Well well well, I see I've made it onto Jalopnik. Thanks Ms. Martin, but I'm surprised that this is what made it on here, and not the wild Diamond T or the Piss-Off-Pete. (Those are over at the Hooniverse)

    Anyway, I have a slight request. How about doing a posting before year end with a poll. Make that a couple of postings, about the 24 Hours of LeMons. Vote for your favorite outright winner of all the events. Then vote for your favorite IOE winner from all the events. (Yes I do have an interest in this)

    Thanks Ms. Martin.

    I do like it, a lot. But would rather have this, if I am actually buying a van that is. Might not be the best looking van out there (tho I think it looks great) but sure is one of the quickest. 2.5l 6spd diesel w/ ~ 175hp, 118mph top speed. Not bad. Too bad they don't sell it here in the U.S.

    Nice review UDman! One quibble, you list the cargo capacity as 14.5 feet. My first Econoline, the smallest ever made, had 450 cu. ft. of cargo area. And those feet should be cubes.

    I think that the Sprinter slots in nicely between standard, full size vans and modern step vans. Kind of right size thing. Only a 50s/60s Grumman step van is in the same size category.

    Other European manufacturers makes similar trucks, including Peugot, Citroen and FIAT. These are widely used by all sorts of trades and delivery uses. I have vague hopes that FIAT might bring its van here before too long.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet:

    ..offers an astounding 14.5 feet of cargo room from the optional bulkhead to the back doors

    Sprinter may not be thick and wide, but it's got length.

    Yay for the return of Project Car Hell!!!

    As much as I am a Chevy fan, this time I'm going to have to vote Nash Statesman. Comparatively few were made. Fewer yet survive. Need parts? Better brush up on those library research and machining skills. It also seems to be the worst of the four in terms of material condition.

    So, you will put yourself through all manners of hell trying to restore a total basket case with a barely existent spare parts source, and to top it all off, the only recognition you will get from the word "Nash" is a Nash Bridges reference. No one these days has any idea what the hell a Nash is, and thusly none will truly appreciate the shit you went through.

    That is truly the most hellish of the four, and thusly I feel is the meritorious victor of this edition of Project Car Hell.

    Because I'm feeling a little crazy, I voted for the Nash, which I'd immediately put an Eagle drive train in.

    Voted for both the Ford and the Nash: the Ford as a restored driver with a hopped-up 351W, the Nash as a heavily-modded machine from Hell, preferably with later AMC power (401? Wedge it in!), or even an Int'l Harvester 392 for added frustration and head-scratching.

    So, wicked cool hauling wagon or hippie-graffitied Pininfarina hellbeast with thirteen-letter-shit-spreader power and eighty-seven yard turning circle? Your choice, amigos.

    Most hellish? Nash.

    Coolest? Ford, preferably with a north-south Ecoboost V6 transplant.

    If you want a project that will be valuable and find a ready market when you're done, get the Chevy.

    If you want a project that will be moderately practical when you're done, get the Ford wagon.

    If you want a project that will be fairly sporty when you're done, get the Poly-powered Dodge.

    If you want a true PCH, get the Nash.
