9 Awesome Dodge Custom Vans
Hey baby, you into vans? If you have a soft spot for classic Dodge custom vans, here's some eye candy for you to check out.
1. 'Denny's Dynasty' 1973 Dodge
"Denny's Dynasty" isn't some recently built retro masterpiece - it's a real deal early 70's build. Even better, it hasn't been restored - only very well preserved. And the current owner was able to track down the original owner that completed the work when the van had barely rolled off the lot. All the other good stuff you would expect to see in a 70's-tastic van is there - shag carpet, sunroof, painted mural, and even snakeskin seat inserts. Click the link at the top for tons of pictures, including the awesome interior.

2. 'Deathstar' 1977 Dodge
If a regular custom Dodge van isn't enough for you, how about this wild, Star Wars themed, stretched, dual rear axle creation dubbed Deathstar? Even if you aren't a fan of the iconic movie series, you can't help but appreciate the work that went into this thing. And despite the insane amount of work put into the detailed paint job, the owner drove the 20 1/2' long van from Florida to California with no worries about scratching or chipping it.

3. 'Plum Loco'
It isn't often you see custom 70's style applied to a late model Dodge van (this body style was made until 2003), but 'Plum Loco' has all the requisite elements. Including some pretty amazing artwork, a giant wing, louvers, air horn, and a vintage set of wheels with white letter tires. And keeping with the locomotive theme, a huge train like front valance.

4. 'Clockwork Orange' 1983 Dodge
As if vans don't get enough of a bad reputation as being the ride of choice for creepers, how about a Clockwork Orange theme custom van? Painting your van to depict the disturbing, yet popular, 1971 film about a violent psychopath probably isn't the best idea, but who are we to judge? That orange paint sure looks good though.

5. 'Sweet Dreams'
'Sweet Dreams' is one amazing piece of rolling art created from the long wheelbase, forward control, A108. The paintwork on this stunning masterpiece is worthy of one seriously long look, as a dizzying variety of patterns and colors somehow come together and make sense. Inside, a simple but unique interior complements the wild exterior nicely.

6. 'Machina'
In a world of 70's shaggin' wagons, it's nice to see a custom van with a more modern, almost science-fiction futuristic look every now and then. This heavily modified Dodge, dubbed 'Machina,' fits the bill perfectly. That space age look doesn't make it any less bodacious than the classics, as the unique bodywork and custom paint job will draw attention anywhere this thing goes.

7. One 'Wild' Six Wheeler
We know you can never get enough six wheel classic Dodge vans, so here's another one. This particular van has wild and exotic written all over it, from the crazy mural to the steelie wheels. And we don't have any shots of the interior, but we have no doubt that it's just as nicely done as the exterior.

8. Mopar A100 Rat Rod
If your tastes lean more toward vintage hot rod than vintage hippie van, let us present to you this fine rat rodded Dodge. With a low stance, chopped top, and throwback wheel and tire setup, it's hard to argue with the cool factor of this Mopar van, and the crusty patina on the exterior only adds to that effect.

9. Joe Maddon's 'Modern' Classic
Joe Maddon, i.e. manager of the World Champion Chicago Cubs, could probably drive pretty much any kind of car he wants to. But Maddon doesn't cruise around in some exotic sports car. Instead, he owns a classic Dodge van with miles of shag carpeting, a huge stereo system, and plenty of vintage flair.
