  • Apocalypse Van

    Apocalypse Van

    Really, don’t YOU need an apocalypse vehicle?  Right now, this van looks like it already went through one, but the seller suggests it’s ready for whatever may come its way. Here is the seller’s apocalyptic sales pitch: “Need an appropriate vehicle for the apocalypse? Look no further!  Bluey comes equipped with a rugged “been there…

  • 1958 Van Store!

    1958 Van Store!

    It’s hard to find any reference to this vehicle’s name nor any proof that only six of these exist, but that’s what the seller claims.  Short version – it’s a commercial van with cool sliding roof.  With this, you’d easily have the coolest hipster food truck! The seller doesn’t reveal much, but how much do…

  • Simultaneously Cool and Creepy Van

    Simultaneously Cool and Creepy Van

    Here we have a van with no windows, few seats and plenty ‘o shag carpet.  That’s creepy.   It’s also in light colors and appears to have been very well maintained.  That’s cool.  The end result might be something of a sleeper: harmless from the outside, but creepy on the inside. The seller was nice…

  • Start You Own Mobile Sauna Service!

    Start You Own Mobile Sauna Service!

    With a six cylinder, full-size van, you won’t be going anywhere in a hurry (despite the short wheelbase); so you might as well make money with it while sitting still or cruising.  I hereby propose a mobile sauna.  The good news is that this van already has the appropriate wood paneling inside.  You’ll just need…

  • An Astro “Show Car”?

  • I Might Have Van Envy

    I Might Have Van Envy

    Here we have a German Camper by Westfalia NOT made by Volkswagen, but named after a famous explorer and cartographer. These James Cook campers seem to have quite the following on the interwebs, but it’s not clear whether any officially made it to the US.  It’s definitely a cool rig, though the extra height and…

  • Remember Custom Towing Vans from the 70s and 80s?

    Remember Custom Towing Vans from the 70s and 80s?

    In case you don’t, they looked like our subject car minus the thirty years of neglect. Crew cab, dually trucks with massive towing capacity weren’t always the answer if you wanted to tow something and haul some people around.  Back in the day, it wasn’t altogether uncommon to see these custom van/trucks with a fifth…

    Long before the Caravan added the driver’s side rear door…

    There was this.  Have you been looking for a kid hauler with a manual trans?  This could be it. This is the 8-door version of the 60s Ford Econoline.  Given the condition, I’m sure you can’t wait to throw your kids into this one.  Who needs seats or the LATCH system, anyway? In truth, this…

  • Creepy van #2103484

    Creepy van #2103484

    This is the best creepy 70s van we’ve seen in a while. The seller even claims relatively low miles and it has the top Mopar van engine from ’78, the 360. Click for Craigslist ad Venice, CA (therefore there’s a good chance someone has lived in this…) $2,700 Damn, this paint job rocks!  Seriously, who…
