* Yes, it’s a photochop, but it’s an inventive and well-done chop. The chopper, a guy who goes by the name Capsule, deserves credit not only for the work, but also for the idea of turning a Road Runner into a van. I hope to see more such chops with other muscle cars. - See more at: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/tag/shorty-cars/page/2/#sthash.zrzbsD7X.dpuf

Re: Story behind "Road Runner" van
it’s not every day you see a muscle car van! With a Hemi!! I guess that “photochop” means this was just done in Photoshop, and no actual Road Runners were sacrificed for this. I think they made it way too tall. Here’s my adjustment of their photo. Shorter (in height and length), more slope in the front.
Still very impractical (how do you get in that door?) but I like that they tried something different. Here's the original version:
I really liked the shortened Toronado on that page! I’ve always liked the look of Toronados and thought they were like oversized Camaros or Cougars!
