My little "love shack"...been wanting one for years now! It's a '79 Dodge B200 Street Van, with a few Harley-isms added by a PO. Typical late-'70s modded van, with a few things added on later. Functional sidepipes sound great with the 360 4-bbl engine! It has 235-60R15 fronts on 15x7 American Torq-Thrusts, and 295-50R15 rears on 15x10 wheels. Killer Sony AM/FM/CD with two 6x9, two 6-1/4" and one 12" sub. Ice box, closet, fold-out bed. Front and rear spoilers and fender flares. Originally a southern California rig, I bought it from a guy in Arkansas, who had it for a year and a half or so.

It's painted the original Mopar Dark Chestnut Brown metallic, with an H-D Yellow stripe around the center, and '37 H-D decals on the rear quarters. There is no hitch on this, so I doubt it's towed anything.

Things to fix include the speedo cable, as the needle works within a "range" of 20 mph of the actual road speed, though the odometer registers correctly. This needs air shocks! The A/C blows cool, but not cold. I like cold!

It's purely a play-toy. I've put about 200 miles on it, so far. It drives very nice, has a mellow exhaust note without the usual drone that sidepipes can have, and does what it's supposed to do.
