Inside The Van PART I

You were probably chillin the other day watching your favorite C & C flick and then, all of a sudden wondered, "Hey, whatever happened to the green van from the movie Up In Smoke?"

Where has it been?.....
A bit player from the 1978 movie (the child in the beginning) acquired the van after production finished. In turn, he sold it to a friend, whose son blew the engine and nearly totalled the van after hitting a pack of deer.

Dave Cuslidge and Jesus Torres decided to purchase the van from Dave's friend for $700 and is now in the process of restoring it.

The owners occasionally display it at auto shows around California.

Note: Although this vehicle is associated with one of the most notorious drug movies of all time, the owners do not endorse the use of illegal drugs. In fact, they stand firmly against drugs. Visit D.A.R.E.
