It's always cool to see these old Van's. Brings me back to the days when racing and racers were more accessible. I remember sitting on the rear bumber of this box van at the L.A. Colosseum as a kid.

I listed this in for sale for him if any interest.

Who's was it? I liked seeing the fleet of team Honda box vans in the 90s.
That clue is in the pictures.

These old Box vans should be restored and placed in bike museums. Save the history...maybe even have a Holley bike next to it.

Back in the day that was the goal to be able to pit out of a factory box van, how times have changed.

I saw an old FMF box van near Huntington Beach, CA about 3 weeks ago. Didn’t get a good picture because I was driving but let’s just say it’s not being used for Moto anymore lol.

What a bitchin' find! Been a fan of Jim "Hollywood" Holley since I was a kid! If i had some spare coin to throw around I'd buy it and restore it, complete with a replica #12 YZ250!

I wish I could buy back my dad's old box van. He took it to LL's in the 80s and 90s, and every other race we went to. We grew up racing out of that thing until I was on 85s and we decided to take a break and he sold it off.

I remember that van! First thing I though of when seeing that pic was Jim's dad Al. Big Al was a great guy, so much personality and experience.
