What is this? Cool Panel/van.

So, today I stumbled on this van in the woods. What is it? This is the only picture I took. I was to excited and tried to take it in, so I forgot to use my camera more than once. If you know what it is, do you have any photos of others?

 

Wow that is different. Is it a motorhome or is it empty inside?

 

Panel version of the GMC Motor coach?

 

It looked empty inside.

 

Kind of looks like an old bookmobile.

 

search vintage step van post.. there's a few, those curved windshield glasses, I think an early 60's Grumman but don't quote me on that....

Here it is for anyone else to peruse.

 

Does not look like my '63 Grumman, but I like the looks of it! Get some more pix!

 

Get some better pics please. Looks like nothing Ive seen.

 

The window shape looks similar to the late 50's early 60's grumman's on the previous thread. Those vans have a more raked nose than this one does. I'll try for more pictures next time I get out there.

 

also,
i'm sure there were more body builders too, they could probably get a chassis from GM windows from Grumman, and then go to town on however they felt the body should be made... anyone? where is squirrel, he would know....

 

come to think of it.. it looks like a late 60's gm van.. but iunno..

 

Motorhome is whats pictured, not a van.

 

this is a motor home?

 

see post #3

 

Sure looks like a step van. Notice the sliding door....that's something you only find on step vans.

Oh..here's a link to the Lyn Airvan

Bloody Squirrel, nails it again. Good match.

 

Well, it doesn't look quite big enough to be one of these old G M
Futurliners.............

 

That's amazing Squirrel! Thank you very much. Are there many of these out there? The one I took the photo of also says "Ford" on it. I wonder what motor is in it.

I know nothing about vans. Do they have any value? Are there collectors? I just thought it was the coolest thing I've seen in a while and hope it ends up in a good home.

 

I found a little description of it on another site, which said the Lynwood body company made around 400 of them total. There were different chassis used, there's a pic of a GMC.

That's all I know about them. I'd guess it's pretty rare. Although that doesn't make it valuable.

 

Amazing! Thank you again!

Hopefully I can get more photos to put up on here.

THanks

 

Do you know if this rig still sits in the woods? Did you ever take more photos?

 

Looks like a grow op ??
