440 Shag Wagon: 1978 Dodge B200 Van

Rarely do I see a van I want as badly as this one: a factory 440-equipped Dodge B200 that isn’t a camper. The seller is asking $20,000 for this slick van, otherwise known as a “Super Bee” (at least according to the seller). The van isn’t completely stock, but it is completely bad-ass. Find it here on eBay with a starting bid of $15K. 

The seller rattles off a list of smile-inducing upgrades: “Factory-equipped 440 cubic inch big block with headers, hi-rise, Holley carb, MSD ignition, washable K&N air filter and of course, side pipes.” Oh, how I wish a video was included to hear those side pipes bark when this street machine is fired up. The body looks immaculate, revealing a life of good treatment that is better than you’d expect for a hot-rod van like this.

Inside, you get your very own disco ball! The interior has been trimmed exactly as you’d expect for a van of this era, but it looks clean and not as if a homeless person has been receiving mail there. Despite the mechanical tweaks, you can return it back to stock if being OEM correct is your jam: “I still have the factory intake, carb, distributor, coil and steering wheel and an extra set of bucket seats in same trim and an Old School roof spoiler that go with it.” Sweet!

One of my laments about vans of this era is that they look bitching but rarely have the performance chops to back up the exterior appearance. This B200 has no such problem, and in the words of the seller: “If you are going to suck gas, shouldn’t you be able to haul ass?” I wish we had an elected official running on a platform like that. Anyway, this B200 gets about eight thumbs up from me; would you spend $20K on this genuine super van?

    I guess you need the 440 to get away from her Dad and his shotgun.

    What happened to the $20000 buy it now? Maybe he wanted to buy a house and stop living in the van so he started it with $350,000. At that price you wonder if the girl stays as a tour guide.

    450 thousand? I wonder who the sucker was who plopped down this amount. I hope he has plans to bury himself in this thing when his clock is up, cuz if he tries to sell it, he’s gonna lose about 400,000 bucks.

      Lose $400K? Don’t you mean $440?

    From the advertisment…

    “THIS SIR………………………………….. IS A TRUE PANTIE-DROPPER!”

    This may be the most disgusting thing you could put in an ad when trying to sell something in my opinion. Along with the price, it proves once again how stupid the seller really is.
