American Pickers Finds Original Aerosmith Van

[Flyn]

This is pretty cool. Aerosmith's original van that the band used to ride in back in the '70s. Pickers paid $25K for it.

The stars of History Channel's “American Pickers” never expected to come across a hunk of rock and roll history, specifically a piece of Aerosmith’s history, while filming their hit show.

Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz of “American Pickers” were astonished to find the dilapidated van during filming in Chesterfield, a town about 100 miles west of Boston. The episode aired on July 30.

The property owner said the 1964 International Harvester Metro van was there when he bought the land from someone with a connection to Aerosmith.

I'm going to go with "what's left of Aerosmith's original van." I think that's some serious ship of Theseus stuff if it gets restored. Those are neat vans without having beloned to Aerosmith. Reading on them supposedly the roofs are double lined for coolness and you can drive one while standing.

Are those pickers gay?

 

[Marko]

They’re nose pickers

$25,000 for that heap!
But ya, I get it.


Definitely will make money

Scrolling through the thread I was expecting to see the van finally restored by now.
