That van is fine. It is just from a different era. In the 70s that would have been a way cool ride.

All vans like that around here used to have a "don't bother knockin' if this van is rockin' " sticker on them

TBH, I'd rock that thing when not driving the 8 in the winter. Most of my aesthetic preference lies with vehicles that pull a look off ok; the van does it for me even if a bit over the top with the flames. At least it's not homemade flames, poor painting, improper wheel fitment, cheesy wing on the top, and other poor fitment choices that make up the majority of posts in here.

Have to admit, I'd rather drive that thing than the 8's that manage to make the thread here; at least the look it aims for flows well.

There were a half dozen people in the parking lot at the time and I think exeryone lost it! Funny ****! Thanks for sharing.

It's probably some laundry to slow that baby down when running the quarter mile. It's an extra extra extra large chute!

More weight on the rear wheels means more traction and better acceleration. Duh.

It could be a pop-a-wheely kit. You fill that box with weights and ride wheelies all day long. Hell yeah!!!!
