This 1962 Grumman Kurbmaster Step Van Restomod is a cool industrial
hauler. And beneath its classic-style engineered patina is a fully
adjustable air ride suspension, five-speed automatic transmission,
four-wheel disc brakes, a distinctly custom interior, and a
fuel-injected Hemi V8. So this is already an awesomely attractive
Mopar before you know the celebrity connection.
Those who follow Rutledge Wood will instantly recognize this
special panel van. In fact, while he's had a love turning these
delivery vehicles into restomods, this build has under 450 miles on
it since completion. This one also has a touch or rat rod style.
You see it in the adapted Buick front bumper and cool patina that's
engineered to look like they found this one parked out behind an
old marine shop. And when you merge the idea of rat rod and
restomod, you get extra-cool upgrades, like the LED headlights. And
the Forgeline wheels are staggered to give you an extra meaty rear
set. Of course, the best stance comes from being able to dial in
your ride height with the full air ride suspension.
The slide-back doors are pure industrial cool, and they are your
gateway to a surprisingly conformable interior. After all, you
expect a classic panel van to have old seats turned hardy by
decades of service, but this has a pair of modern leather-trimmed
buckets borrowed from an SRT-8 Mopar. They even power adjust. There
are useful details hidden within plenty of vintage style. For
example, you have a classic-style Bel Air steering wheel, but now
it's on a tilt column. And the Ridetech air-ride touchscreen
controls are hidden in a classic lunch pail. There are some pure
modern upgrades like the Autometer gauges, push-button start, USB
charger, and Mopar floor shifter. There are even provisions for air
conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) This one
is pretty darn cool as-is, but we bet all that space in the rear
and the clean diamond plate floor is getting your mind racing.
Maybe you want to turn this into an ice cream truck? Maybe you need
the coolest delivery van around? Or maybe you're the most unique
camper around. The possibilities really seem endless because of all
the upgrades under the skin.
Tucked back in the engine bay is the 6.1-liter Hemi V8. A modern
Mopar powerhouse like this means it works with terrific factory
features like fuel injection and a five-speed automatic
transmission. You also have a custom chassis, an independent front
end, a four-link rear, and four-wheel disc brakes. It's all far
more comfortable than what this van was born with, and so it's a
surprisingly easy rider.
This is a truly charming look that gets a ton of attention. So not
only is it a celebrity build, but also you'll be a celebrity every
time you get behind the wheel. Call today!!!
