Default Miss B wakes up

It's been a couple of years since we even started her up, fresh gas and battery and she fired right up and is ready to go! My wife loves to drive it!

Looks great Lugnutx2. I'd love to have another van.

Yeah she's a cool old show van, used to compete all over the US when the van craze was in. Fiberglass flairs, ram air style hood, air dam, gull wing side and rear door, roof spoiler all came from the same company. They used Miss B in their catalog.

Like the looks of the 2nd Gen Ford vans. Very nice one.

My middle son's 1st vehicle attached; one of ten first year 4x4 Quadravans conversions from 73'.

She's heavy into : muscle cars, top fuel fan, hunting and fishing and Miss B is actually her ride. It wasn't easy finding her.

Other than adding the cragars, it's pretty much circa 1970's. It could stand a repaint, but it works for now.

Looks like it just rolled off the set of That 70's Show.
Either that, or out of Huggy Bear's garage.

Cool ride!

Awesome ride! I love the retro 70's custom vans. If I could get it past my wife, I would add one to my collection. The Hendrix picture is a cool touch.

It wouldn't be the same if Jimi wasn't in it. That's cool.

Like having a home away from home. They were great for going on trips, or just crusin around town. A larger sized "Pie Wagon".

I actually miss the '85 3500 Series GMC van that I partially customized.
