Pan-Am ready E350 in Argentina

We're selling Rambo! I built this vehicle specifically for our Panamerican journey and since it's coming to an end we're going to attempt to sell. We're currently in southern Patagonia heading south and plan to be in Buenos Aires by early March. If anyone out there is looking for an adventure-ready vehicle to start their trip in Argentina than let me know. I'm offering a substantial discount for anyone willing to buy here in Argentina since we'll avoid shipping costs.

We'll attempt to sell here and if it doesn't work out we'll ship back to the US and sell there.

The bad:
windshield is broken. I will replace if I can find one here.
paint: The lower half of the van was repainted without removing the original decals so there are some indentations in the paint as well as other small dents, scratches.
rust - the ambulance company sprayed the undercarriage of the van with rubberized undercoating before every winter to protect it, however it does suffer from some rear quarter panel rust and behind the front wheels. Nothing structural and nothing that's not repairable.

Do I see Canadian plates on there?? If so, does anyone know how the transfer would work to someone from the US??

Ditto that ^^^^...and is the cracked windshield going to be a problem when crossing borders. Any pics of the crack, how bad is it?

The windshield has been cracked since Mexico and we haven't had any problems at borders. The crack is substantial, but I will likely find a replacement here in Argentina anyway.

The process is quite easy. We would have to get an official document drafted to say I'm giving you use of the vehicle, then we would cross the Arg border to cancel my temporary import permit and re-enter to grant you a temporary import permit. You would then show the official document at every border since the vehicle will technically still be in my name.
You would then proceed with your importation process when you return to the U.S. The vehicle would be exempt from any duty charges and you would just need a compliance letter from Ford to say it meets safety requirements. I can get this for you.
 
Here is a list of spare parts and accessories that are also included in the sale:
2 spare belts
2 fuel filters
1 oil filter
Coolant flush
Spare coolant reservoir cap
Spare U-joints
Spare fuses
Some maintenance tools
2 camping chairs
1 foldable table
3 safety triangles
Fire extinguisher
Fiskars axe
Off road shovel
12V twin cylinder air compressor

There is probably more but I can't think of it right now. Also, the surfboards in the photos will not be included.

All you need to start this adventure is a bag of clothes!
