My uncle has a '74 It did not run for over 6 years until we got it working and driving this year!

It's great that you kept something that your grandfather must of cherished. We are too much of a "throw away" society. Respect

...a very rare and beautiful van! Those Xplorer vans are scarce these days.

I don't care what anyone says...I LOVE the door panels and that blue shag carpet! Too bad its not for sale! The 70s was the best decade of my life and that really brings back memories! Listen to Sammy Johns song "Chevy Van" from the mid 70s...it will get you in the mood while you're working on her :)

Awesome video... Glad you kept this video up even though you sold it... You documented great history...excellent narrating. The late 70's Xplorer vans are scarce, almost impossible to find these days.

Now this is a CAMPER VAN! Not a computer chip anywhere in this baby! And she doesn't look too bad seeing how old she is. Nice video

I'll be inheriting my grandfathers 1973 Xplorer!

That was so fun to look at! I know your Grandpa is so please you appreciate that van and kept it.

Nice van, I love the old dodges. I had trouble with my door, but all it required was a hinge adjustment. The bolts are fun to get to, they are behind the interior vent door. I found out not to drop tools down the vent because it took me almost an hour to fish out my ratchet and socket.... fun times.

Beautiful video. You gave your Grand father much respect. You did a heart warming video God Bless you and your fam

This is beautiful, you used to see these on highways everywhere

Glad you enjoyed the show. It's nice to know a few others out there appreciate a rare gem like this. :)

Incredible van

Super cool. My grandfather had something similar to it also. We would travel everywhere in it. Had to have the windows down at all times. Everyime my grandfather looked to the left he would fart. Not good.

Let's hear it run...I bet it sounds great!

What a cool old van, great story about the bullet hole! lol

Excellent van this is a rare one hadn't seen one these for a long time. Luckily your uncle didn't accidentally shoot the propane tanks. We wouldn't be looking at this beauty.

sweet van man keep it rolling and enjoy it yourself you will soon under stand Grampa's joy with it :)

damn things in great shape cool to have

Nice van man. I wouldn't sell it if I were you

Cool van man. Dodge made really cool vans/rv's. I have a 90 b250 conversion van and I really enjoy it, do wish it had the extra head room though.

Beautiful exterior!

Nice van, I have a 1971 Xplorer. Arizona vehicle all it's life. Runs great love it!

Looks great for its age!

That van looks like brand new brillent job n restoring it great job

Hello, Looks like a Fine Ride. If you ever decide to pass it on to someone else,I would be an interested Buyer. I admire the 78-80 years as they usually reflectthe original integrity of the improved Xplorers after the previous years. Here inHouston, they are few and far between, have seen only 3 in 10 years. Still lookingfor one even today. Regards, Michael

*Sweet-Vintage-Dodge* Oh what a prize and a perfect size for me to see this *Home-almost-Free* The mountains an the prairie it's not all that scary. Thank you for the view

Really cool! But I wish you would have pulled that mattress out so we could see better.

Wish it was mine I would b on the road on my way to florida now lol. Thats my plan

The van was manufactured by Dodge in Dec 1977. Xplorer constructed this camper in early 1978. When Grandpa bought this new, it was titled as a '78.

Sold to a lucky guy up in North Dakota

My parents had one. I want one

I LIKE IT. NICE

I am at 3:56, but I love, your neighbors barking dog comment, maybe the will see your Vlog. Your neighbor hit the van and then dragged the bumper, and your uncle shot it! TOO F'ing funny. Just your matter of fact delivery!!!!

pretty rad van

Wow I have this same van a Ray Frank model cool

Now this is cool😃!

Soooooooo rad.

It looks so wierd when the tires are so far from the back, the the back swing out alot when you turn?

I wished my Class B RV was that height, i would love to be able to park it in the garage. But mine is about 9' tall so i cannot, plus the wind blows it around like crazy. Best to paint the blue stripe white and get rid of it. Check out Explorer Steve"s youtube channel and look at the before and after of his Explorer. Looks INCREDIBLE once he got rid of those stupid stripes.

i love it ;)

i have a 79 chrysler voyager it was assembled in 01/79 mines is the 15 passenger van

nice van

The urban assault vehicle.

SWEEEEET !!!!!!!

interesting look inside.. not too many of these around, for some obvious reasons.

How much did the tires cost?

I feel so sorry for that Dog who has to Bark all Day due to Boredom. Have you offered to walk it or play w it ? Wow, nice Van. Too Bad it wasn't covered with a Tarp before all the damage from water. Our 1974 Station Wagon had Lap belts .

Do you still have this???

SO NICE'

How much did you sell this for?

Thats That uncle rico joint lol

still?

What kind of wheels are these?!

Darn, I was hoping it was for sale. Sweet camper van, and nice vid. I am looking for a vehicle to use for living and moving around....ditching the apartment/city BS. :)

I want buy a vans like that, where i can find one? Canada-Usa, anybody know where i need to reach?

Still 4 sale by chance?

Anybody know if having a dropped floor like this has any drawbacks? Does it make traveling certain terrain difficult? Has anyone had any problems with this?

Where is it now

r what'd it sell for?

Really nice van, where did you find these 8 lugs wheels, they look so cool!

I am looking at one that another guy has for sale and I am curious, under the hood of your 78, was it still smog exempt at that point or does it have all the extra vacuum junk and smog pump? I seem to remember RVs of that era still had relatively simple 1960s style engine compartments due to smog exemptions on larger trucks.

Geoff uk mint van

Is it sold

Wish you'd start it up so we could hear it!

Is it for sale ?

Would ya'll consider this van to be stealth? Do you think that most people, including cops, would look at this and assume someone is living in it?

Bad ass

is this for sale

++++ NEED SOME HELP PLEASE++++ MY OIL SLEEVE CAME OUT WHEN I PULLED MY DIPSTICK OUT TO CHECK MY OIL.. CAN YOU LOOK ON YOUR ENGINE TO SEE WHAT THE OIL DIPSTICK SLEEVE BRACKET ATTACHES TO ON YOURS? IS IT THE ALTINATOR AND IF SO, IS IT THE BACK OR FRONT OF THE ALTINATOR IT ATTACHES TO??? YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.. THANKS!!

Price

Can you tell me where you got the matres made. I have the same van would like a new matress

Awesome looking van! I reckon anyone could boondock in something like this and still be comfortable. If I had something like this, I'd install a 5.9 litre Cummins turbo diesel engine.

Price?

How mutch im interesred

We got the same van but ours is pimped out and driven every where coast to coast over and over

How much do you want for it

Your You Tube caption says " Not For Sale " but the sign on the camper says otherwise. Oversight ? Change of heart ?

Yea......I could live in here

I have one just like this. Its a 1979 Xplorer, rust free from texas. I am trying to establish a value so I can sell it. Any ideas? donna

You have a FOR SALE sign in the video but in your description you say not for sale? Is it for sale?

That's not a 1978, if it was a 1978 the back tail lights would be the bigger and wider vertical tail lights and not the small horizontal lights. Also the dash and instrument cluster would be the newer style dash like you'd see in the 1978-1995 vans. Yours looks to be a 1976 or 1977, looks good though.

please list the asking price , location

Did the person that bought it make any youtube videos about it?

Sold for $1500.00

Ei helvetti mikä nimi :D

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooollll

I'd spray with monstaliner

What is a 5 point 9 liter? That's not American.Cubic American inches please?

check your local law inforce ment on nose laws are annoyances and see what you can do to have those things cleared up if u waant jusa saayin...

Inice

34 years old? 1😅🤣😂try 44 years old

Mopar or no car.

dude you breathe really heavy for someone whos just standing there i feel like im going to hyper ventalate after listening to you

Sorry bro but these things are nothin but junk . You are wise to get rid of it . The problems , not with the camper conversion , but the van itself . It will beat the crap out of you going down the road because the original German design was changed in the front suspension wayg to much to save production cost . It lies with the ideler arm and the lower inner control arm bushings . They "GRAB LINES" Or so the condition was coined . The transmissions were a military design that did not do well after 1966 . They would slip going from 2nd to 3rd and would burn up . And since it's not a Chevy that tranny cost 4 times as much to re build . Not only that , combine all this with less than sensitive people that call themselves mechanics That can't aligned one and the trans shops that will not give you a warranty on anything for "MOPARS" And all you have is a driveway bomb . I used to love MOPARS , but good ol American greed screwed that up . EVERYONE THINKS THEY SHOULD LIVE ON THE HILL THE WAY THE FOREIGNERS DO . AND THEY DONT HAVE BRAINS OR KNOWHOW TO LIVE IN A TENT IN A JUNKYARD !

Mopar or no car.
