The "YAMAHAULER" | Motorcycle Transporter | 1973 Dodge Tradesman B100 | Vanlife

[@timmccreery3646]

I was a regular reader of Hot Rod Magazine in the 70's when the van craze was at it's peak, and I remember clearly the Yamahauler conversion series. Memories!!

[@steveespinola7652]

That Vixen is one amazing looking mini RV and those back lights, it looks like it was taken out of a Chevette. LoL 😁

[@ckryses3962]

This moustache man always comes with something very entertaining and enthusiastic! I am telling you,,.....he...he sure having every goodie up in his ""Moustache""! Well to me he is ""Uncle Santa🎅"". Made my starting of the day!

[@AridersLifeYT]

that Vixen is amazing

[@richardochoa8489]

Cool yellow van!

[@DortyDennis.]

That Vixen is something i would love to have!

[@steveespinola7652]

Me too,

[@hectormcarmonadiaz9184]

Good show,as always,thank you,

[@SlimRhyno]

That drive over that bridge is absolutely epic. It's been a decade since I was out that way, so I forget the name of it... but I hope I never forget that drive. ... By the way, that trip in the Vixen campervan had to be a blaaast!! I'm sure that slog down the white road was a little sphincter clenching 😬, but damn what fun. Respect.

[@jakespeed63]

"...the little windscreen is the heating and a/c all in one..." LMAO Really good natured guests, on this one. YamaHauler was super cool!!

[@donalddday7741]

had the super tuner in my 76 LW Chevy Van great radio

[@christophermay4998]

Another great video Dennis.....👍👍👍👍

[@SmewthePew]

Lots of cool stuff, but the yamahauler is so darn cool.

[@ckryses3962]

That yellow Dodge Van was ""oh man thats SWEET""!! And that race ready White Merc ....wow today's kids and punks don't have any idea what they have missed..think they missed everything!

[@tertessa]

Another great spot for a car show...

[@steveespinola7652]

I knew those rims on that Dodge van looked familiar, almost the same ones that were on the General Lee from DUKES OF HAZARD. 😀👍( cool 😎 looking Van)

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Hay... there's a few of them StarChiefs and Chieftains and Grand Prix's and Catalina wagon and more in that abandoned car dealership vid I did man! That van was awesome, I had a custom 76 Tradesman that was a lot of fun.

[@ahighervibe4086]

Looks like early 1980s Chevrolet Chevette tail lights on that motorhome!

[@erickort1987]

i remember in the mid 70s,mainly it was a california thing customized vans,my neighbor had one,hot looking van,had a round shaped bed in it,velour fabric,realy comfy,nice for parking with your girlfriend,lol

[@azspeedbuggy]

very cool...spotted couple dune buggies...

[@dacrd]

I often seen the Yamahauler around Portland OR

[@SlimRhyno]

Damn. Portland is so freaking cool. I spent a couple epic months there, longer ago than I care to admit, and always wondered what it would be like in. Perhaps I may still find out someday. 🤔

[@Ripplin]

Saw one of those Vixens for sale at a car dealership back around 1987 or 88 and never forgot it! Not exactly the type of vehicle a 10-year old would normally find interesting, but that one sure was. Cost CAN $35,000, I believe. It was fancier than this one, though, with some pinstriping and fancier wheels, like the one below (but still not top trim level)... i.pinimg.com/originals/80/cc/19/80cc19ab9dece8035fa06edc46c39634.jpg

[@MrHondablink]

Those taillamps on the Vixen look like they are from a Chevette.

[@TheKaappari]

That Vixen must have been really expensive back then

[@TheChill001]

honestly, I usually am not a fan of american cars, but no matter what episode, you can't just refrain from smiling and actually taking a liking to the presented cars. As always, good job on showing us some quirky fun rides

[@BlueHopi144]

Us cars had style , genius ideas & creativity . Its hard not to like them

[@hypnotised-clover]

Bluehopi Waltz Alot of american cars performed poorly and the style isnt appealling to most europeans, the overuse of chrome, exagerated grilles, pointlessly big and thirsty engines, odd wheel choices and size are what most people dont like about them, it's also the same thing that alot of people do like them

[@BlueHopi144]

Dont come with the " they can't handle corners and they are ugly styling wise " because that comes from someone who is not a fan of that era . Ford dominated Le Mans in the 60's ( u probably dont have much Us car history in your either - so its easy to forget those Major Breakthroughs )and i see the New Mustang been sold more than the new VW Golf . So many have watched movies like " Bullit " so they knew the value of the Us cars . The design surpassed anything Europe could bring - except for a few Aston's , Ferraris or Bugatti's . Many European designed cars even went to buy Chrysler engines to put into their cars . Its time for u to get informed about why those cars are still amazing . If u are not a fan , sorry .

[@TheChill001]

ford dominated lemans, yessiree... the GT40, that one's still a fave on my US car shortlist. But technically he's correct though, US brands even admitted it, simply because in the US there's less need for cornering than in the average european country. Also the mustang only outsold in the US... not the rest of the world. As for saying ALL american cars can't handle, that's a false statement, but in general it's just a matter of needs. Also just to point one thing out: they had american engines, but euro engineering...like oh...the legendary AC Cobra (also known as Shelby cobra)

[@hypnotised-clover]

Bluehopi Waltz Who ever said that?

[@ticnatz]

That Vixen kicks ass......

[@BlueHopi144]

Oh yes - would love to have one to travel around - Must be super confi and great to live in

[@BlueHopi144]

I checked a website that gives locations of owners selling some ...in Usa mostly . From 12,000 to 25,000 $ .

[@CamaroRick]

Love that Pontiac at the end

[@johna.4334]

Dig that purple metallic color!

[@styldsteel1]

Hey MCC guys. This is one cool episode. No lie! LOL!

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

The Vixen could've been the second generation GMC Motorhome.

[@somejackball]

cool rides!!

[@OldIronRC]

very nice cars

[@gearheadred]

If this was last year, it drizzled all day in Long Beach. So I went to Seaside instead where it was nice and sunny. The only problem was that the car count at both shows was low because everybody was scared away by the weather forecasts. One of the challenges of putting on car shows in the NW.

[@Hoodhistorian562]

SHOT OUT FROM LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA!

[@johna.4334]

...and a shout-out from nearby Azusa, CA!

[@peninsulahomerenovations9680]

Reppin the Olympic Peninsula. Peninsula Home Renovations checkin in.

[@chainsawmike01]

John Pierce wrong peninsula... This is in Longbeach / Ocean Park, Wa.

[@dougscustomcargarage3434]

Great show next time in Portland, Oregon area car shows look for Spiderman pinstriping tent. He does a lot of car shows around the Oregon area It's all hand painted ! He does great work

[@41magfan]

That camper gets better gas mileage than 07 GMC envoy

[@hypnotised-clover]

The headlights on that starchief look really weird, I think it's stock but I wouldnt know much about the american cars, thats why Im subscribed to this channel

[@send9]

They're LED replacement headlights and I think they look weird too. He kept the car mostly stock, and so they stand out way too much and ruin the front for me. But hey it's his car and he likes it.

[@spacepope-1]

Oh shoot, I missed it again.

[@hypnotised-clover]

"They designed it a wind tunnel, that was their big selling feature" that must explain why you never see any, it must have been very successful

[@microbusss]

the tail lights look like ones from a Chevelle

[@merc-ni7hy]

that goofy motor home has chevette tailights in it

[@greg1268]

I'll be damned! Didn't even notice that! I drove (& totaled) my parents when I was 17... Good eye.
