That is owned by the owner of Ryder's eyewear. His name escapes me for the moment, but he purchased the van when he was 16 or so. It's got perfect Patina for sure.

Saw a Marina Blue 71 Super yesterday on Burrard at Georgia, rolling on EMPI 8s and T-bar bumpers.

Also saw Preston Manning a little up the street earlier in the day.

Yellow on top with orange on the bottom bay window, seemed slightly lowered with a big muffler hanging out the back. Saw it tonite at Walnut Grove Pool. Sticks out like a sore thumb.
