I just had to have one. Just brought it home last weekend. Now just need to scrounge some missing van only parts.

 

Found these on another site.....Rich

 

Hey Fools you missin the most impotent van of all time

 

God I hope 60's vans aren't making a comeback.

 

Not making....they're back.

 

Funny I was sittin in my van the other day when a station wagon drove by...........god I hope they dont make a "come back"

 

Now thats funny.

 

nice.

 

I just picked up this 71 Econoline out of Sacramento. I have not seen it yet but am already very happy with it and think it has a good look. I was trying to find a mid Dodge but just could not pass on the Econo as the price was very right and it already looks cool without me doing any work. I think it's already earned the name "Old Ironsides" for several reasons.

 

I almost bought this a few years back in Easton Pa after the owner died. Too much $$ for me for a box of parts and a neat shell. I have heard several stories about it. One was that it came from Ca and Gene Winfield choped the top.
I saw it about 2 years back in Englishtown at the swap meet.
It would have been a neat addation to my "A" collection.
GEORGE!!

 

Keep me in mind if you need "stuff" for your Dodge I ship anywere.
GEORGE!!

 

Is this going to be out this year?????
GEORGE!!

 

dam dont tell me they are back! I am too old to go back! It just wont be the same.

 

I'm not sure I want an impotent van. That's counter productive to what a van is used for!

 

Just what we need, 65+ year old hippies smoking dope in clap trap vans!
Fucking great!

 

you must be bummed because your wife will not let you bring one home and park it next to her SUV>

George, you must be the guy everyone mentions for parts!
Any luck yet on vent window rubber for As?
A nice one posted on the vintage vans forum...

 

I second that emotion!

 

Scooby - scooby doo !! Hee hee hee hee hee.

 

Not all of us are that old yet.
Sorry you missed out on all the fun

 

If you remember the fun you weren't there.

Now to chime in and add my personal opinion (would that be MPO) I think that what most people remember of "60s" vans were actually '70s vans. The trend for custom vans really hit hardest in the '70s. '60s vans were more of a hippy lookin thing, pretty rattled out, usually painted with a broom.

Either way as Aldous Huxley put it " A g(r)am is better than a damn."

 

You say that like its a bad thing.

 

That be ME !! My mold maker swears it will happen this winter.

 

smokin dope wasnt the primary advantage of a van!
[but your last comment was ]

 

Always been one of my favorites....


Not sure why but always kind of wanted one like this.... Not from the '60s but still always made me want a van

 

I always thought the ealy Beatle was better for smoken dope, MORE AIR TIGHT !! Remember the commercial how they would float. That was before they began to rust away.

 

All I could think when I read the title of this thread was " Good Lord I hope NOT. Please don't let it be true"

Hopefully most of them have been crushed for new toasters or are serving as permanent storage sheds or homeless shelters

 

This is a fantastic thread!

 

Nonsense ?? Where ?
