This 44-year-old Dodge Tradesman B200 converted into a party and recreation vehicle has recently been bid to $40,000.
The owner of the van had it painted vivid yellow and outfitted with a body kit. Spoilers appeared above the windshield and below the front bumper, a rear wing and an integrated bumper were added in the back, and chrome five-spoke rims came to replace the boring OEM ones. Swinging double doors were installed at the sides an in the back, and exhaust pipes were mounted at both sides to serve as running boards. Orange ambient lighting rounded things off on the exterior.
The inside space was re-trimmed in beige vinyl and brown upholstery with diamond stitching and yellow seat piping. The front seats can swivel 180 degrees to face the rest of the cabin, and the whole space is illuminated by a blue/orange contrast lighting.
Serving the recreation purposes are a fridge, a minibar, a giant LCD screen and an audio system. The floor is lined with a soft carpet, there are USB ports all around, and a bed for two resides in the back next to two oval windows.
The power is provided by a 5.9-liter carburetor V8 mated to a three-speed A/T and RWD. The odometer shows 46,000 km (28,586 miles), but whether it is the true mileage is anyone’s guess. The equipment list mentions power steering, air conditioning, power windows, a DVD player, and an FM radio.
