  • 1963 Econoline Mystery Machine Replica

    1963 Econoline Mystery Machine Replica

    Are you a serious Scooby fan? If so, you need this. Buy it and I’ll give you a scooby snack. Articles have been written attempting to identify the Mystery Machine’s roots, but, if I recall correctly, the cartoon van had traits from several 60s vans, all, of course, mid-engine. This 1963 Econoline is as good…

  • Cowavanagon, Dude!

    Cowavanagon, Dude!

    We don’t need to add much here – this is a 1990 Vanagon converted into some sort of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles party van. The concept is bizarre, but we love certain quotes from the run-on description: “In addition to this auction I am including a replica Leonardo suit from the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja…

  • FREE Abandoned Vanagon Pickup Conversion Project

    FREE Abandoned Vanagon Pickup Conversion Project

    Well, it’s free if you never want to register it. Should you choose to do so in California, you’ll owe $665 in back registration fees.  Still, this looks like a parts van to us, but some ambitious individual might try to finish it as a truck… We love the ad text (below), as the seller…

  • Stand and Deliver! 1931 Stutz Pak-Age-Car.

    Stand and Deliver! 1931 Stutz Pak-Age-Car.

    The Stutz Pak-Age-Car was a delivery truck meant to be driven from a standing position. Various sellers, including this one, claim very low remaining units.  We know we’ve never seen – nor featured – one. This cool little van has a mid-mounted Hercules four cylinder with a rear radiator.  The upside is the whole unit…

  • Factory Supercharged Subaru Sambar Posing as VW

    Factory Supercharged Subaru Sambar Posing as VW

    Once upon a time, a Subaru 360-based Sambar van was sold in the US market. This is the fifth generation, which was produced from 1990 to 1998 and was never sold here.  The VW appearance it cute and all, but we’d prefer this just be a proud Subie.  Surely nothing has been done that can’t…

  • 1973 Beetle Vandetta

    1973 Beetle Vandetta

    The Beetle was used and abused in many ways and Beetle-based kits ranged from the Bradley GT sports car to off-road buggies.  Somewhere in between is this “Vendetta” delivery van body kit. The seller claims this is regularly maintained at a reputable VW shop and provides a video of it driving.  What more could you…

  • Unsullied, Shag-Tastic Dodge B200 Van

    Unsullied, Shag-Tastic Dodge B200 Van

    The 70s van craze is alive and well! While it looks all period, this van recently had a correct-for-the-era interior installed with dynamat and home insulation.  We don’t know where people purchase deep, blue shag carpet in the 21st century; but the seller found some. The current configuration is front seats and a bed; but…

  • Rare Datsun 1200 Two-Door Wagon

    Rare Datsun 1200 Two-Door Wagon

    Nissan positioned this V320 as a small van, and it is closely related to its trucks of the time; but we see it as a small wagon.  Either way, it’s damn cool and has massive potential. This example needs a lot of help, both cosmetically and mechanically, but the good news is that it appears…

  • A Former Family Chariot?  1989 Colt Vista AWD w/Manual Trans

    A Former Family Chariot? 1989 Colt Vista AWD w/Manual Trans

    Here’s a forgotten Swiss Army knife of a car: The Mitsubishi Chariot, which was sold in the US as the Dodge Colt Vista and Eagle Vista Wagon.  We see this as a do-anything vanlet, which would be a great addition to any fleet.  Well, it would be truly great if it ran… The late 80s…

  • Advertising Prop: Surf City Belly Up Van

    Advertising Prop: Surf City Belly Up Van

    Needless to say, advertising is all about getting attention.  Sometimes, that yields genuinely odd vehicles, like this Ford van body mounted upside down on a Ford Ranger pickup. The base vehicle here is a 195K miles, four cylinder-powered Ranger with 5-speed manual trans – probably a pretty basic model.  The ad proudly lists a new…
