my roving reporter on the east coast and pit crew boss, El Mutante- sent me this listing, because i don't use Crazedlist to find vans-
this freaking van used to cruise up and down Cedar Cliff rd. where all of our high school friends lived and we all crashed our bikes and parents stolen cars-
very epic cool van- what a great show van that would make, at the parade, at Rhinebeck, even Hershy- no papers though, now if only i was made of money
Damn
and it still runs and stops for christs sake
someone should drive if right off of Cedar cliff and out into said- Mombasha lake-
on a side note the back road from there to Orange turnpike used to be called Hell- the road was covered with red house paint graffiti and junked out washers and dryers, hot water heaters and mysterious cars would lay up down that road, barely pulled off the hardscrabble, engines running-
nefarious
i wish NY state let people keep the old plates- that car would look great with the old orange slabs
