Bring a black light! (Van content)

Where to begin with this?  This van appears to have it all – ugly custom paint, textured shag carpet, wood paneling, bar, fridge, accessory AC and plaid on the seats AND headliner.  It’s also being sold by a charity, so this is for a good cause!  It truth, this vehicle may stand as proof that charities will not turn down any vehicle.

Lots of color here, but a delightful emphasis on shades of brown.  Did the door stripe once match the hood?  Do the curtains match the rug?

Steel wheels are a nice touch.

Do you ever want to see this in your rear view mirror?

Plaid like this is always classy, and the headliner is a great bonus.  One can imagine a delightful smell, especially considering the likelihood that packs and packs of Kools were consumed in this bad boy.

TEN band graphic EQ on the cassette player.  Shit yeah!

Hopefully, this can be temporarily removed when you want to ask a young lady to help you lift a couch into the van.  “What dress size are you?”

This is a party waiting to happen.

Did we mention the (likely smokey) headliner?  It looks like there’s a touch of green shag up the door-side wall, but that could be yet another shade of sunfading on the brown carpet, or it could well be something growing there.

Don’t you just want to curl up and sleep on that couch/bed?  We dare you to put your tongue on it.
