Selling my 1970's survivor hippie van, V8, automatic, PS, some rust, solid frame rails and good floors ran last year, may still run, but really don't know. Clear title $1,500.

I love it! Not in the market for one though, GLWS. I had one just like it but it was a work van. We used it to cart band equipment around. Had a 6 banger with a 3 on the tree. Dont see many hippie vans around anymore. My brothers were in the van conversion business while they were still on HS.

The hippie vans I remember were VW. But, I assume they used whatever van they could buy cheap.
I had only 1 ride in one. Some college neighbors had one. One night they invited me to go with 'em up to a camping site close to a creek, about 30 minutes North. So, I grabbed a few brews & piled in with 'em. Don't remember how many of us there were. But it was packed. I didn't really fit in with that crowd, since I was a redneck country bumpkin. They were the "Heyyyy Man", "Cooool Man", "Grooovy", "Peace Bother", "dope smokin" crowd. The Hippie movement was takin place right along side the Musclecar scene. I was obviously into the latter. |
I'm having a tough time finding a real hippie / buyer, may have to go Colorado? Instead of selling ice cream, this would make a great mobile "weed" truck out there!

I think those kind of vehicles are popular in SoCal.

They are gaining popularity. Should sell pretty easily I would expect.
I had a 73 Club Chateau for sale a few months ago and a guy from Palm Springs called me about it. Said he would have it picked up and transported back. Sounded like a scam or lots of a hassle on my part, so instead I sold it to a guy who drove up from Miami and got it. It didn't run and was really a parts van. Lugnut, let me know if you want the guy's contact info. He doesn't mind driving. When he left here he hit Ohio, then Canada. |
Sounds good, send me the contact info. Thanks!

Agree - Awesomeness.....
You do not see these. I too gotta believe they are gaining in popularity. Did you do the work inside? Are those some kind of cross cutouts in, like, driftwood? We need more pictures! |

At a show, Miss B is like a people magnet! The brown van "Shorty" is a great platform to start with, I have it advertised on CL, can't believe I still have it.

I had a '71 that was pretty much the same van. I drove it for quite a while back in the late '80s...Strictly configured for work.. It had a big six and a heavy duty rear axle...8 lug if I recall.. Dana? Had a big hub in the middle with more bolts.
It was a gas hog but I could load it front to back with roofing shingles and it pulled as if it were empty. Real short gears, like I was driving around in 'low'. Never had a problem with it. One of the few Fords I've owned in my life. |
That is friggin awesome!! Not too far from me either.
