(All You Need and Stand by Your Van) title with Floyd (Bud) Gaugh’s name on title Interior of van contains writing and stickers placed there by the band during tour The story of the Sublime Van: That's right this is the one and only Sublime van. Featured on the album stand by your van and used to carry Brad, Eric, Bud, Michael, Lou Dog and Toby dog back and forth across this great continent. All of the early touring was done in this fine piece of Detroit steel. Brad's dad bought this true beauty of a 1986 Ford Econoline extended van with its classic short bus fiberglass overhead kit for the guys long before the days of fame. The van was customized with a full size mattress for sleeping on the road. (Mattress included) They also blacked out the back windows with custom limo black spray paint. A small loft was added for a small TV and video game set up. This way when the bench seat wasn't being used for the comfort of sleeping, you could fold it back up and play Nintendo. The van was used until 1994 when a used Winnebago was purchased to replace it. Unfortunately, the RV proved to be unreliable and the " Great White Land-shark" was again thrust into service. After Brad' s sudden and unfortunate passing in 1996 the van sat in Bud's yard waiting for the call to duty. Soon that chance came when Eric and Bud formed "Long Beach Dub Allstars or LBDA" The ultra reliable van was used for short out of town and in-town shows. It had again been retired to Bud's yard when I needed a reliable auto for taking my family to the beach and on camping trips. Bud asked if I wanted to get the "piece of S#@! out of his f*&$in yard." I had many good memories of riding to shows and parties in it and had one especially good memory of riding all the way home from Big Bear on that Stinky ass, I mean super comfortable, mattress after bruising my tail bone snowboarding with Brad and Eric. You may ask yourself how can I part with this supreme specimen of American art in automobiles. Well, after owning and driving it for years I felt that I could no longer keep it cooped up in an undisclosed warehouse. I felt that it needed to be out in the world to serve a true fan. A reputable music museum or maybe an up and coming band in need of some serious inspiration. Anyway I can't keep paying storage on it and I already have too many cars. My problem is your salvation. Being that it is almost an RV you can cut a hole in the side of your house and park it as an extra room. It was in good running condition the day I parked it in my warehouse in 2004. The motor was rebuilt awhile back during the LBDA times. Again if this magnificent piece of metal could talk you can only imagine the stories it could tell. The 2 bullet holes are just an added feature for ventilation. Condition of van: As mentioned before, the van runs and is currently registered. There are plenty of small dents , nicks, scratches, and bruises...some rust. And bullet holes. The most noticeable damage is on the drivers side fiberglass roof panel. This was put there by Bud's girlfriend when she hit the parking garage picking the guys up at LAX. EVERY DENT, BRUISE, SCRATCH AND BULLET HOLE HAS A GREAT TOUR STORY BEHIND IT!!!!This van is being sold as a COLLECTORS ITEM with NO WARRANTY or GUARANTY on mechanical or structural condition.
