Nickel Revolution had a couple of Vans. I think I read where the first one without windows was wrecked somehow.

Thee Corman's tour Van is on the market...get ya some before it's history. Nick writes:: This was the transportation for the surf/garage band Thee Cormans.
1969 Dodge A108 with 318 V8. Rebuilt motor and trans with hardly any miles put on them. Good tires, dual exhaust/side pipes with stink bug stance.
Will trade for pre 1969 Harley stuff; bikes, motors, frames etc... (Posted in 2013)

I wrote the guy who sold it and he responded saying he was sorry he sold it now. The buyer sanded off the Cormans paint and sold it to someone in San Diego last he heard. I also looked up the band on youtube...a little strange
