Last week I emailed this guy on Ebay selling a 70's Dodge prism plate just telling him how cool it was and how I was wishing I had one for my GMC Vandura. Anyways he emailed me back asking about my van so I sent him to my car domain site to see it. Got another email and come to find out he had a similar van back in the 70's, same kinda paint and wheels and side pipes. I didn't know this person at all and he loved my van so much he surprised me with a brand new old stock 70's GMC Van prism plate for free!! He also sent me a dvd of "The Van" and "CB Hustlers", a Custom Coaches LTD vannin dash plaque and pin. I mean how freaking cool is that????? I guess he's a vanner from back in the day, his name is Warren Hanbury from Wakeman Ohio. If anyone knows of him let him know I put this up in here. There are still some great honest and giving people out there that are not just out to make a quick buck. An old school vanner that just made my freaking day, been searching for this plate for years and now I have one to put on the front of "Mother's Nightmare. Here's a pic of the plate, tonight I'll be watching CB Hustlers and have seen "The Van" before but still groovy anyways! [Linked Image]

He sounds like a hell of a guy! Send him a link to Spring Back 2012, that would be pretty close for him. ;-)

This guy is super cool, he was also selling a Dodge van plate same style as the GMC one he gave me. I bidded on it for my 70's collection, there were two others bidders as well as me. Well I finally had two seconds left and won the bid for 43 bucks. He emails me back saying wow that was crazy, now he's giving all three of us Dodge van plates for just 20 bucks a piece!! What the hell?? This guy is super cool and could care less about the money. Can't wait to get the Dodge plate in my 70's room!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270855256000

Oh hell yeah I told him about this site. He emails me here and there now, sounds like him and his brother have a restoration business and are kinda busy doing that. He says he has a trailer full of vannin stuff from back in the day! Also told me some funny stories about their adventures back then. From what I gather he must be in his 50'r or 60's, sounds like a gear head at heart. This was one of his emails....
"We are a lot alike. I had a black 78 trans am almost new loved it. Have slot cars and some in my auctions. Liked count chocula the cartoons and the shows you mentioned. You can still see good stuff like that today on what is called ME TV. I get it from an antenna. Batman lost in space wild west and many others are on later today in fact. I'm into classic rock music big time and played guitar in the band tripp in the seventies if you ever heard of it. Neil young,Eagles, The Band used to go to all the concerts. I still play guitar and have a black les paul custom and my 67 Fender Prinston Reverb amp I will not part with.

As far as the Van club, I am older than you I grew up in the sixty's. Me and my brother were youngest age members. We both had several GMC and Chevy vans through the years. My brother is a full member and I was always an associate member. Most everyone now and the club is pretty much almost done for as some members that used to be partying fools are now dead or in their late sixties or early seventies. The van in's, wet t-shirts, chicks, music and all the partying waking up to find your van is the new center piece of the local park fountain are all but memory's for the guys.

You don't owe me nothing, glad to of met a guy like you that still knows how to do a van up right.....you got skills.

Drop me a line when you get the plate so I know you got it.

ps I have two more Dodge plates. I will offer them to anyone else that bids on the Dodge plate I have on auction...

Warren is an awesome dude. I was the guy who bid $42 on the dodge plate on eBay. I was so bummed when I got outbid with 2 seconds left. Only to be so surprised when Warren emailed me about having another plate and for only $20. He truly lives by an honorable code. I hope I can repay him someday for his kindness. Glad I found this thread.
