Bert’s 1974 Dodge Van that he's driven to "Approximately 40" Van Nationals

I always thought the history on this van was cool. So on Sunday evening of Butler 2021, I asked Bert if I could get a quick video history for VTV. He pulled it out into the setting sun while I was recording. I thought this was especially cool documenting this at Butler, since their first Truck-In was at the same site back in '74 when the event was called Van Fair East.
He bought it brand new back in 1974 with a stick shift 6 cylinder and it's gone through a few different paint schemes over the years. It’s a rare 318 with EFI. Full custom Van. Pinto Tail Lights. No side markers. Shaved door handles. Molded in Mirrors. Etc.
Thanks for tuning in to Vantastic TV!

Well done! I learned something new today, didn't realize the history of Bert's great van.
