Hi Guys,

This may sound like a crazy request but does anyone know of an after-market company that makes a van body for the type of Ford van from the Marvel Antman movie? I think that it was a 1974 van. I’ve always liked this body style of van.

I find this site to be invaluable. Is this the van?

If so it’s a 1972 Ford Econoline

The one in the movie is a '72 but anything from '68 to '74 would be in the close enough arena

MPC Made a '71 in 1/20 but good luck finding one at any sort of reasonable price.

Motor City Resin has a what is supposed to be a very nice one that would be perfect but not sure if still avaiable.

Not a whole lot out there.

Way, WAY different than the 68 to 74s.

YES, that’s the van! So it’s a 72 Ford van. Does Jimmy Flintstone make a resin 72 resin body? Thanks Keavdog

WOW, Tcoat! 1/20 scale would be great but I don’t want to break the bank for one either. I’ll start scrounging the vendors’ tables at contests. Thanks

Nope. Only the '61 to '67 like the one I built. There are loads of '75+ kits out there but the earlier ones are oddly ignored.

I have seen them pop up for not to bad a price on EBay but not often. I sort of want one for myself some day.

Here is a nice write up on the Motor City one.

Thanks Tcoat,

That van turned out awesome. Oh to be back in the 60’s & 70’s again!
