Zomboogie - 1977 Dodge Van with Garrett Shanower. Talk about Patina!

Garrett Shanower talks about his 1977 Dodge Van that he will leave it the way it is with all the patina it has. Another great find. Filmed at Knightnmare Vanners, Knightmare Before Christmas Truck in by John Koterba (OOP) & Jo. VansOnVideo.

Wow! What a great van. I have own my 1986 B250 passenger window van for 29 years it's in very, very clean condition. it lives in a heated garage and I use it for traveling and camping. Your van is on the other end of the skale, it is a rolling work of art that time has helped to create. Very cool. 🕶

[@randyhoepker5528]

Classic conversion van! Sweet!

[@siry0ggdstinguishdgent.680]

He need to clear coat the whole patina body of that gem of a van!

[@jamessommer6077]

Hey Garrette,nice van as I used to own a forest green 1977 Dodge tradesman 100 just like yours and it was a charm to watch what you had to say of your van as I miss mine and I bought it in 1990 for $175.00 and worked great for me for awhile but I do miss it,good luck with yours.

[@mikeburke6828]

I love the van !❤❤❤

[@davefletch3063]

I think this is one of my favorite vans so far

[@ronboyd5997]

Ive seen this van in my home town... Canton ohio I gawk at his collection of vans when i drive by.. 2 locations with yards full of vans!

[@lordgonk5502]

R I JUST SAW IT TODAY AT WALMART HAHA, I live in canton as well I was surprised I saw it!

[@ScottyToaster]

AWESOME old Dodge! Coolest one I've seen in a LONG time. Enjoy it!

[@davefletch3063]

The rust makes the theme. Awesome

[@stevenzw1]

That shirt is priceless 🤣

[@jasonrackawack9369]

I got a trendy Macys fall clothing ad before this video.....glad they found their target advertising demographic here.😅🤣😂

[@gimmesomesugar]

Great job! Love it.

[@audiarayz]

I wouldn't touch either of the murals. This whole van is a beautifully aged piece of art. I am however torn between fixing all that rocker rust to preserve it or to leave it be.

[@dannork1240]

mossywoods I agree, fix the actual holes, but leave the rest alone!

[@givemeaforkingname]

Same here, but it had me scheming if you couldn't creatively fix them from behind, solid and all, but leave the holes and rust looking the same on the outside.

[@christopherbartels5801]

Leave It Be

[@VanLifeWolf]

Love it

[@markchirillo5083]

i like it,looks like something i would have partyed in ,back in the day,thanks for sharing.

[@Dude101p]

I had a 77 custom Dodge van with a pig picture window behind the drivers seat. It had bright orange shag carpet w a mini fridge and a bed. It even had a swamp cooler on top twords the back. You could put the ignition on accessorie and put that cooler on low in the New Mexico heat and it would run all night and start right up in the morning.

[@michaeltolbert1603]

Man I would love to find a van like this!

[@kendallsmith1458]

Love these guys that display their rust buckets

[@johnbeer5242]

Don't kill the mural with that zombie bull💩 leave it like that😉

[@patriciadanko208]

Omg. I was in that van as a teenager. Yep it's from Akron, Ohio. Wow to many memories.

[@rockettcustoms6266]

That is a very cool survivor from the '70's!

[@694069406940]

this is one cool looking van love how he has left it like that i don't like shiny new things but this van is grate

[@mikesims4286]

Makes my vans look show quality..still a cool looking van

[@79tazman]

Damn that van is awesome I love it and that green paint is so cool

[@givemeaforkingname]

Crusty... I LOVE IT ! I remember back in the day, before urban "stealth" camping was a "thing" I had the idea that the way to blend and avoid theft in urban areas would be to go something like this. Totally roached out looking. Nobody would think twice about stealing those rims, or even bother to break into it, clearly nothing of value ;-)

[@danielmoore1232]

I met him at Knightmare Vanners event this year. I live in Minerva and drive to Canton all the time. I've been driving past his place for years. It was pretty cool to get to talk to him. I just now subscribed to your channel.

[@juanpabloarena2724]

It would be sacrilege to repaint it or try to 'improve' it. The way you see it is perfection 👍

[@fixit4u73]

Very cool. Love it👍

[@barryismygod]

That is the perfect name for this van Zomboogie genius

[@steveanderson3942]

Love to own this 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@1friplease]

Definitely would leave it alone it is awesome the way it is I collect tractors Oliver tractors and I love them original condition then the shiny new tractor I love the Dodge Vans I would live like that as bad they're my favorite vans I would just clear coat that thing

[@masonl8128]

Perfect looking ride, tune up, fresh tires, and a tank of fuel and cruise away.

[@blackvan84]

I love it.

[@austind6546]

Wow I would love to find a van like this¡!

[@brendenfreeman3568]

I’ve got a sticker that says “caution: don’t laugh your daughters probably in the back”

[@charleswright6428]

love the green vinyl....

[@Desperado23]

Nice ride bro... Be a shame to let her rust away.

[@stevieseymore75]

Nice old van

[@richardnewton9586]

dig the rig man!!!!...i need that t-shirt tho!! shoot site ya got it

[@jackrabbit9389]

I like it

[@jamesnope8666]

When the hell did we start calling rust "patina"?

[@fordblue2257]

Rust is rust...people aren't calling rust patina. Patina is basically the overall degradation of the entire vehicle such as sun faded paint, scratches, oxidation and rust etc. that comes with age

[@givemeaforkingname]

In the 17th century. ;-)

[@wayneb5054]

Had the same van ...said the love dog ....

[@metalwaves4154]

NICE

[@donnblood2857]

i like this van ihave the same handtowel .

[@winnabegobob1547]

Wow Garrett

[@PugzofSteel]

I think this van should be restored to it's original paint job.

[@SuperbeastVan]

Glad nobody got offended! LOL!

[@0Nebula0]

'77 Tradesman, the best...Things cool, rust sucks, but isnt too bad...

[@toddbob55]

So cool.....the rust kills me :(

[@lateefcarrere1649]

I like 99% of this van - but I would cut the cancer out, so it wouldn't spread. I've seen too many vans of this vintage rusting out & generally becoming unsafe because the structure was compromised.

[@NicholasMaietta]

Rusty but beautiful

[@buck9739]

That van conceived a bunch of kids

[@johnschneider599]

Wheels make it most certainly best patina

[@blubblubston1452]

Legit

[@DavidJohnson-ws1hl]

Do you know anybody that needs the front cap, doors and bucket seats for a 1975 dodge van? I know this year model will work on other models around this year!

[@ramcharger154]

Does anyone even make patch panels for Van's this old?

[@user-cz3uh3dt4u]

Thankfully it's not covered up with bondo and fiberglass.

[@duaneyarbrough3986]

She a lil rough but l REALLY dig it. I would leave the patina though.

[@brianrussell1565]

Going to need lot of repair panels

[@koriahola7192]

They don't make panels for most dodge vans. Sure, if it was a Ford or Chevy, it would be easy, but with a Dodge, it's a totally different thing.

[@mtnpckr]

So, he added gas, customized!

[@dsruddell]

did you watch the video? he changed alot

[@nitewatch2.027]

Looking for a dodge cargo van, or blank canvas

[@100aceswid]

Mopar or no car.

[@ratj4715]

I hope you know a good body guy

[@dalehess6265]

Patch the holes and clear coat it as is.

[@privateprivate1865]

Anyone seen any van drawings

[@damienprice-corbin3272]

Pain it to look like that

[@christopherbartels5801]

I'd Just Clear The Whole Van

[@privateprivate1865]

Help fellow vanners.. please help me locate an artist . I want to study his reflection styles.. so i can try to make a living drawing cars. Yes its cliche. But im a die hard classic motor vehicles guy . And i was raised on those pos tradesmans.. and i love the looks of all vans.. Also.. i still love those vans in stock shipwreck condition. Lol.. anyone who drove a tradesman new, or old, .. its basically the same ride lol.. and i want to design a retro tradesman ... Anyone want to take bets who will win a dodge tradesman custom sketch off one off?? All proceeds go to me?? Lolololololll.. jk.. signed fellow simulation robots.

[@charleschaleyhoodwilson4358]

Love it

[@100aceswid]

Mopar or no car.
