It seems this van was once on a TV show – funny how quickly we all forget. Anyway, it’s an Astro minivan made to look sorta-kinda like a Lamborghini and with very few functional doors.
The seller says this needs to be trailered home, but it’s not clear whether that’s just because it has no glass, or if there’s another problem. The seller does also say it runs “good.” The title is still in the name of “Gwars Productions”, which seems to indicate it’s never been sold before, even though a quick Google search shows at least one previous attempt. Does this have anything to do with the band???
The TV show in question was the creatively named “Ultimate Car Build Off”, which lasted one season (ten episodes). This van was featured on the first episode.
If you’re the one person out there who longs for the show’s return, maybe this van makes sense for you. Otherwise, it’s hard to imagine who might use it. Surely, you can find an excuse at $1,500. The 4.3L V6 should soup of pretty nicely, but, really, this seems like a good MR candidate, as long as you also make the rear doors functional for engine service.

$1,500 with ZERO bids and 6.5 days to go
Top has been chopped eight inches and vehicle has been lowered six. The front does show the Lamborghini influence.
Side view shows the chop and the aggressive-for-an-Astro wheels. The lack of a rear door is normal here.
No opening door here…
The sliding door on longer opens – note the glass.
Cluster is…interesting and interior was never finished out.
Roll cage extends into the unfinished – and essentially inaccessible – rear.
