Unique Dodge, A100 van, the Hula Van, with split window and Flo-lite glazing. The van was valued by a recognised appraiser in October 2020.

The van is equipped with the V8 engine of a Dodge Swinger Coupé and delivers 279 hp. Between 2012 and 2016, the van was used as a campaign tool for which a number of unique adjustments were made. The van was completely checked at the time, equipped with a completely new interior, new seats, headlining, new tyres, custom paint job and a few unique adjustments. The van has a 40+ piece Pioneer speaker set for a value of €6,000. 00 (ex-built-in) , which can be used to organise a serious festival or party, up to a circumference of approx. 300+ metres. There are various possibilities to pair telephones and DJ sets to the van, and there is a clever seating area with built-in storage. The body is hard, has some unevenness, but no rusting. The car has had a professional 'special paint' airbrush treatment in the 'Pepsi Cola' theme. Large numbers of speakers and amplifiers (6) are installed in the rear and side doors. The hinges are reinforced to carry this extra weight. The whole is accentuated with LED lighting, it was professionally installed. The Dodge features 14 inch American Racing rims all around, these are in a good condition. The tyres are good 195/70SR14 Trailermaxx tyres with ample tread without dehydration. The van is mechanically fine; the doors close well, wipers work properly, seats are smoothly adjustable, and the switches work properly. The engine runs fine and the transmission shifts properly. The van starts, drives and brakes, however, the van has stood still for a while so it does need some attention, you can then drive it like it is. The van is valued at €18000. 00.
