Yea, they were pretty much for parking and rocking with your hopefully Farrah Fawcett looking girlfriend, while listening to Zeppelin.   Edit, I never had one, but my first girlfriend's dad had one - I thought it was the coolest fucking vehicle on earth. I made quite a few trips to the skating rink in it with her, but admittedly never "rocked" one  . |

Yep, they were called rape vans. I even remember one with Star Wars stuff painted all over it.

With dirt-cheap gas prices, I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen a resurgence in their popularity.
Instead, I see yoots still driving around in Civics with fart-cans...

I know a guy that still has his ra- I mean 70s van in his garage.
Lime green with shag carpet. This thing looks just like the pictures that were posted. I have no idea why he keeps it. I should try to snap some pics of it, it's hilarious. I grew up in the 80s and we assumed any van like that was a kidnapper. I still remember how we would all scatter and hide. It was common knowledge that if you saw the "blue van with the heart shaped window" you were getting kidnapped. |

Quote HistoryHahaha. OMG, my older sisters one boyfriend had a pinto wagon then a Ford van. I shit you not. The pinto caught on fire so he got the bitchin shagging wagon. I remember it was three on the tree. I didn't think anything of it at the time but I'll bet my parents just loved it when they saw him pull up in that van

My parents had a few full conversion vans. My neighbors subscribe to some van magazine answer would put them by the curb in stacks. I took them all, mostly because they had lots of half naked girls posing with the vans but some pretty amazing rides too.
I remember my uncle had a gloss black van with bright orange shag. That thing was a pimp wagon lol! |

Yup, had one.
Surfboards on the roof racks, bean bag chairs in the back and the cheerleader GF in the pax seat. Chevy 6 banger with 3 on the tree. Tuck and roll on the walls and (sorry to disappoint) regular short nap carpet on the floor (easier to sweep out beach sand). Did have extra padding under the carpet though. Pull in sideways at the drive-in and open the side doors to watch the show. Surprised the fire department didn't show up sometimes with the amount of smoke billowing out of the roof vent in back. Didn't have the airbrush paint scheme though (couldn't afford it.) |

Everyone was fucking left and right, and there was no such thing as HIV. If I had to live one year forever it would be "76". I would have been 9 and ........Tube tops.  I helped my oldest brother build his van in the summer of "77", a ford econoline 150. Helped him pick it up at the dealer and man was that big empty box loud inside. He already had some on the interior built and as soon as we got home we started in on it. It was paneled on three walls and a strip down the center of the ceiling where the wiring and such were routed. Benches over the rear wheel wells and a sofa/futon like pull down bench/bed. He had a guy that just came from Cali and was looking to make a name locally as a custom painter do up the outside with all kinds of different techniques to show his work and my brother got a huge discount on the work. Him and two friends would take their vans out to just about anywhere and people would gather around like a mini car show. |
