How much is this van worth?

Its a 1983 Ford econoline, very poor condition, same color.
I want to buy this same one from my great-uncle, he has not driven it in years and only drives another car. I want this van so I can travel through a couple states this winter. Tires are most likely flat-lined, rust, dents, not sure if it starts up. My great-uncle has not had contact with the outside world since the 90s(besides me and my other family).

*What would be a fair price to start as an offer?(Take the family discount into consideration!)
*I was thinking around $350 to start the bidding(I don't know if it even runs or not). I would probably go up to 600 max.

Its going to take a lot of work to get it in good shape, but I'm up for it!
Thank you

351 modified oil pan removal?

I have a 73 ford f100 with a 77 351 modified engine, I unbolted my oil pan and wish to know if there's a safe way to get it out without removing the engine. It's laying right on my cross member, and I really don't want to take out the engine. I heard jacking it up after taking off the mounts is a way but not sure how safe for it is for the truck. Please send help or a how to do it yourself video lol thank you…

Is Installing a solar panel on a van easy?

I'm a full time student, this winter I plan on going on a road trip with a van and camping in it.
I want to instal a solar panel on the van. The van I'm getting is a 1980s Ford Econoline conversion(really big).

Had my eye on this panel from amazon:

^^Comes with an inverter, panel, brackets, wiring, instructions.
Have you ever installed one?
Is it easy, and how much power will this solar panel give me?

Good Luxury AWD First Car?

I'm almost 16 getting my first car. I live in Canada and I just want to be safe in the winter and have an AWD car. I wouldn't want to spend more then $10,000. But I also want something that has better fuel economy. Suggest a Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, or anything else like that and I will hurt you.

Added (1). Haha sorry the latest answer just made me laugh. Mommy and daddy are helping and just because I might be "better off" then you doesn't mean you have to make a remark like that. I live in freaking Canada I need AWD smart one. I've been driving my moms Infiniti FX35 and dads Infiniti QX80. I think I know how to drive.

What kind of ignition system do they use in the 1967 Chevrolet Impala on Supernatural?

Ok, I was wondering about what kind of ignition system do they use in the 1967 Chevrolet Impala on Supernatural. I know every company has different ignition systems due to copyright laws. I can tell the difference between Chrysler, Ford, and GM but I've heard a '67 Impala start up and it sounds way different to the Impala used on Supernatural. I love the way it sounds! I'm doing a project and would like to find that brand of ignition. If any one knows what the name(brand) of ignition is, I would be grateful.
