That is the newly restored Nautalis.This van was featured in "Truckin" back in the day and was an ISCA show winner.
Its a piece of "saved" vanner history...........

I told you we would see some action here Edward if a General Discussion thread were posted. Bob Ryder is looking over the coverage of the 35th Nats where the Nautilus picture was taken. Hope to see it back in Truckin' once again, it was built over 25 years ago and very carefully restored.

Love that gullwing door on the side. That thing must be a real show-stopper at van rallies.

Is it only in the vanning segment that we see the restoration of famous vans? I know it's been done with Hot-Rods but I've never seen people restore a truck to it's original glory.
Anyways, I love Nautilus. It's full of personnality and the theme is great! I've seen it at the Van Nationals last summer and hope to see the interior next year.
