    That is one creepy looking van, really looks like something you'd see on America's Most Wanted. I love it just like it is. Get it mechanically straight and drive, don't even wash it!

    our joke about it is calling it the pedo van because of all the windows or lack there of. game plan is to fix it and kidnap one of my coworkers and take him to mardi gras. he's a little slow but i think he'll have fun.

    i saw the maverick but i think the 4 door with a 400 should be enough. now the wagon is cool. i just think the van would be a cool cruiser/daily driver

    The trouble with vans is you can't smoke enough pot to remember that you have the kids you "borrowed" in the back for a reason. emm. maybe a pick up would be better. Be sure to have the "Easy Rider Rifle Rack" inthe back window as an option

    I think it would be fun. I've always dreamt of building up an old van like that or a an old GMC van and droppin a souped up ford big block in it, and givin it some really funky/cool paintjob......maybe thats what i'll have to start when i finish my mav.
