What’s the perfect vehicle to help you reclaim your lost love? Movies have certainly given us some interesting options: Dustin Hoffman had the Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto, Mike Myers had the AMC Pacer. But what could be more iconic than the flap-eared, shaggy van from Dumb and Dumber?
This hilarious 1995 Chevy conversion van turned “sheepdog” recently popped up on Craigslist’s listings in Muskegon, Michigan. Obviously done as a send-up from the infamous “Mutt Cutts” van from the 1994 comedy, it has all the earmarks (pun intended) of a well-done recreation.
All that carpeting, combined with its never-garaged, never-washed status, makes us a little sketchy about the odoriferous emissions, which the seller claims is nonexistent. How that’s possible is indeed a mystery, but we’re guessing whoever the next owner is, his or her sense of smell is beyond saving.
But can even the most sensitive nostrils pass on the price? Probably. The seller is asking $4,000 for what amounts to a 20-year-old van with the added weight of carpeting all over the body. At least it has a V8 and new rear tires “for laying down wicked patches of rubber at every intersection,” as the description puts it.
Other concerns include what must be an elapsed five-digit odometer, since the miles “are probably around 90K, maybe 190K, or even 290K, who knows.” The seller is open to trades, and will of course consider “a moped or mini bike, Lamborghini Diablo, RV, or similar animal-themed vehicles.” Touché, sir.
We don’t mean to influence you either way, but just know that you do have a free dog-eared hat waiting for you on the other side of this purchase. So you’ll have that going for you, which is nice.
