Re: Old Photos | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 6,266 Vanner Extraordinaire | Vanner Extraordinaire Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 6,266 | Prime Cut was a cool van...very different chop style, built by Jack kampney at Kampney studios in Detroit. It was done with lead, rather than bondo. Jack's shop was in the same building as the NAVA office, so I got to watch the build. Also in the shop at the time...the Red Baron Show car, the Hot Rod magazine giveaway VW Rabbit panels, and the Detroit Tiger Funny Car. A few years ago I heard the van was in Scarborough. Someone find it!!!!!

Last I saw it was in the Toronto Auto Trader for sale about 20 years ago for $15,000. I'd love to see it again. Doc's in Scarborough this week, we'll get him on the case to find it. Here's an aerial shot of it I have posted here before from Van America 1978 : | | | Re: Old Photos | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 2,632 Wood Carver, Supreme | Wood Carver, Supreme Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 2,632 | Doug, I ran the Vankana in front of the grandstand at Van America, either 78 or 79, where this photo was taken: You don't happen to have any more pics of my Van there do you....or ANYONE else?

It ended up with a Rolls grille and 2 sets of front wheels that steered to go along with the 3 rear axles it was powered by a Ford 302 Midengine. My personal opinion it was sweet as Halfbreed when it only had 2 rear axles it looked just like a shrunken Greyhound bus | | | Re: Old Photos | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,571 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,571 | Cool Pics..you gotta wonder where these vans & vanners are today...too bad they're not around to enjoy today.Im' sure if these vans could talk htey would have some stories to tell or they would plead the fifth.,lol.
