Chevy LUV?
Methinks a Rampage by Dodge?
Dodge Colt pickup
Ford van
Rampage. Bwah-ha-ha-ha!! :O)
Dammit, ya beat me to it. Rampage for sure.
Yeah, the one time I’m pretty sure I know it, I’m way too late.
Just to be a little different, this wouldn’t be one of the dealer-built “Shelby” Rampages?
Agree on Dodge Rampage… but it could also be its short-lived twin, the Plymouth Scamp.
No, I’m pretty sure it’s a Rampage. I have a “friend” in the know… :)
1983 Plymouth Scamp.
It has to be a Ford pickup, ’70s or ’80s vintage. I used to call ‘em the “rolling exclamation points.” F-100?
70’s International Scout or Pick-up?
Edit: after a quick search I believe Robert.Walter is correct, Rampage.
Yeah it’s a Dodge Rampage all right, about an 82-83.
As a kid I couldn’t understand why a Dodge had Ford truck taillights.
Dodge Rampage. I did’nt think there was any more left.
Waaay to late on this one, but it is a Rampage/Scamp.
That tail light lens is definitely Ford. My vote is for a 80’s Ford Econoline van
@#$%& ffffuuuuuuuuu, I checked, and seems to be a Rampage as said above
Give-aways that it is not a Ford are a) the horizontal bar between the reflector and the white-lense and b) the sheet-metal surrounding the lamp.
The ’76-91 Econoline (Project codename “Nantucket”) has a similar bananna-shaped lamp, however, the sheetmetal surrounding it has a angled contour of about 1cm width, such that the lens itself is not flush with the surface of the sheet-metal.
In other applications of the bananna-shaped lamp, i.e. F-Series and ’66-77 Bronco, the lamp was surrounded by much more sheet-metal (both with the earlier smaller lense and the later larger one.)
BTW, since the Rampage was designed during the Iacocca-era, it is of little surprise to me that the design has similarities to those of Ford (as Lee also took styling people with him to Chrysler.)
Believe it or not, there is one of these still roaming about in Central Vermont! Most cars here are 1995 or newer, everything older has dissolved into iron oxide dust long ago.
VW bus/van.
I regularly see a couple Rampages running around here. Or should I say Omni-minos. Neat little trucklets.
