He shoulda named it the Stabbin' Cabin . 😜
 
This takes me back a decade and a half when I used to cruise around in a '69 VW Westy.
The Z bed was always down and I didn't have a blacklight in it.
 
Dy-no-mite...

If somebody said that to me I'd say "Nev-er-mind" and get the hell out of there... :D

To be fair, if some random guy asked me to get in the back of their van to do drugs I'd probably pass anyhow. Doesn't seem like the best idea...
 
The Van is a classic flick

That's so funny as I tried to look up the movie "Boogie Van" and didn't find anything.

I would love for someone to sell me a copy of "The Van" on DVD if anyone can...
 
Strangely enough, I just watched this a few days ago during a terrible movie indulgence spree. It's on Amazon Prime streaming under its original title, "The Van".
 
From the 1977 movie "The Van" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075378/

Did You Know?

Trivia:

Despite the song "Chevy Van" by Sammy Johns appearing throughout the soundtrack the titular "Van" is a 1977 Dodge B200 Tradesman van (which was prepared by legendary car customizer George Barris). The van, purchased at Claude Short Dodge in Santa Monica, California, is the extended version of the B200 Dodge, featuring a 360-ci "small block" Chrysler V8 engine, automatic transmission and air conditioning. The customization includes a four-foot circular window on the driver's side, a water bed, mirrored ceiling, carpeted and padded walls, drink rack, refrigerator, a TV, a table with a built-in toaster, captain's chairs and a CB radio and eight-track tape player. Two vans were built for the film. The primary van, which was used for all running and interior shots, featured all the customizations listed above. The stunt van (a 1972 Dodge cargo van dressed to look like the primary 1977 Dodge van) was used for the drag-racing scenes, and did not feature a full interior.


Goofs:

When Bobby drops Tina off down the street from her house after spending the night on the beach, you can see a crew member's reflection in the passenger side wind wing glass and two rectangular production light reflectors reflected on the side of the van as he pulls away.


Quotes
Bobby: There ain't a woman around who don't love the sound of a zipper comin' down...
[he barely finishes the line when the nude take-out waitress throws him on the waterbed and forces herself on him by mounting him with her very large buttocks ]

I love this movie already! And it has Danny DeVito???

You are much too young to even have a clue as to where Dy-No-Mite came from my friend...
 
When I was a kid (5 to 8 or so) we had a next door neighbor who customized vans as a hobby. He'd buy a new stripped model van and spend about 6 months totally customizing it to sell. He must have customized 4 or 5 vans that I remember. Cool shit like beds, refrigerators, fish tanks, custom windows, etc. Each van got a badass mural paint job too.

Unfortunately the poor bastard got in to a three-wheeler accident and broke his back putting him in a wheelchair.
 
My buddy in Portland has a neighbor that owns three vans. All different makes and models.

His name is actually Vance

True story

I know!

And I once seen him and another guy eating at a Sizzler. The biggest freakin' mess of a table as I have ever seen. I felt bad for whoever had to clean it up.
