Last week Ken Merrit, the owner builder of Yellow Peril told me he found his old van. He saw it about a year or so ago on the back of a tilt tray, he said it was going to a panel shop for body work and a tan, he was wrong sadly, because it is in a wreckers, i will be picking it up in a couple of weeks but won't be rebuilding it, i will be turning it into a trailer to match the Easy Roller. I told Ken about this and he is ok about it. Here is a pic of it before in its hey day, followed by the sad ones.

Ain't that the truth!

Well, as Ken said to me, at least it will live on in some way
-
no way to treat history, but that is what happed when th van craze started to die in the 90s, owners just parked them in the backyard to rust, then the tip in the end.mmmmmmmmm

well i could of left this to get crushed or save it, i want to save whats left in some way

good move
I'd love to find something like that at the right price that I could turn into a trailer
-
I second that!!
-
Are you sure it's not a clone as I thought Yellow Peril had "steel" flares that sad one has none
-
definately the original, gotta believe it when Ken Merritt himself told me it was his and where it was. In the end i did not get it. Had to buy myself a new car so the money went there instead, :(
-
is there any news on yellow peril?, is she still with us, sitting around somewhere awaiting reincarnation......or sent to the afterlife for good
-
This is/was so cool, love the burnt yellow,now that's a van! Where is it from?
