Maybe because we are the same age. Maybe because it is totally awesome in original Top Banana paint. Maybe because vans are cool.
It is an original Northern California 1 ton high top dodge tradesman and I just can't shake it.
They want 5k, I know they would take 4K, but it is probably way too much. Runs and drives great.
I was unable to find a built in bong, but I know it is there somewhere.

With the amount of money people spend on tiny houses... this is a steal. Most tiny houses are built on a trailer with NO ENGINE. Just a bonus in this case.
Cause you're living too much in 1982?
LOL I used to have one of these with swivel seats in front. I drove it way more than I should have for a guy with 3 running vehicles. It's probably my most missed vehicle.

It's awesome. You want it that badly because it's awesome.

Because you were conceived in one and it permanently affected your thinking?

That would explain my love of old Chevy vans and roller derbys.
That van is legit. I want it now too.
I told my GF this is like my perfect idea of a tow vehicle. She still said no.

There might already be one in the back. Serial killers love those things.
Most of those have been converted for ice cream man duties here.
My dad had a few vans back in the 70's. From the passenger's seat, the Dodges very pretty uncomfortable. The Chevy (1978 or so) had a little more leg room and was nicer inside. I don't think I've ever been in a full sized Ford van, but I always thought that they would be way more comfortable.
I drove two Aerostars for work in high school, but they were E36 M3.
