Got a shitload of money, yet not quite enough to afford an orange Lamborghini? Maybe you should make a bid on the Melvan! From Ebay:
1972 Dodge Sportsman Royal Van, better known as the "MELVAN" Featured in many books, Cobain Unseen, Come As You Are ETC. & Many NIRVANA documentary films. This is a very unique piece of MEVINS/NIRVANA history & truly one of a kind. The KISS Mural on the side was hand drawn by Kurt Cobain using sharpie markers shoplifted from the Thriftway grocery store in Montesano Washington. (former employer of King Buzzo) This was one of the first MELVINS tour vans & was used on at least one U.S. tour. Kurt himself was often times known to drive this van to local shows, also included are two former registration’s, one signed by Roger Osborne (King Buzzo) & the second signed by former MELVINS bass player Matt Lukin ! Bid High & Bid Often ,this will probably be your one & only chance to own this unique piece of music history !
At time of writing, bidding is at US$98,100 and the reserve still isn’t met! Make a bid now!
Just as interesting are some of the Ebay questions:
Q: Very important. Are there any "skid marks" on the seat from Dale Crover? Thanks in advance.
A: It is possible, the original sheep skin seat cover that came with the Van in 1992 is still on the driver seat !
Q: Does it still have the original plates?
A: Yes ! complete with tabs that expired in April of 94, how spooky is that ?
