Ford Econoline Van Mike Watt. Music Legend Mike Watt & his Ford Econoline Van. Mike Watt is an absolute legend in the alternative music community. Perhaps best known as a co-founder of the seminal punk band The Minutemen, Watt (as hes usually called) has spent the last several decades releasing innovative music and contributing his bass-playing skills to countless side projects. His mastery of the bass guitar is well known, but somewhat less apparent is Watts intimate knowledge of the Ford Econoline van. Through countless tours Watt has racked up hundreds of thousands of miles behind the wheel of various Econoline vans, making him something of an authority on the Econoline. In this video Kelley Blue Books Micah Muzio gets to hang out with one of his heroes and learn about the important role that vans play in the lives of working musicians like Mike Watt.

watt - my favourite van salesman!

[@YTPartyTonight]

LOL... Man, the algorithm. Looks like the fort; McCarthy, in Pedro. I've literally watched Watt's band put on a show outdoors there down in the gun pit 3 years ago. They moved their gear in and out that very same van and the man in the van was behind the wheel. Some old friends in the '90s, a band on Touch and Go, had a brown one; I drove it few times. We called it the U.S.S. Wisconsin.

Can this be a weekly series? Just this guy and Mike Watt, looking at vans and talking about 'em?

[@GetUpTheMountains]

I just saw Mike Watt on 5/6/09 and lo and behold the Boat was parked out in front of the venue with the club on it! I managed to snap a few pics of it. Much respect Mr. Watt!

[@eXiLe824]

I love that he didn't even empty the ashtray before they filmed this. Dude is not interested in being anything but himself.

[@trent1234108]

I worked out of both a 02 and 06 Econoline for about 4 years. loved them. especially the 06 since it had power accessories and the v10. with the super duty tow mirrors, the vans are very easy to drive and see out of.

[@richit66]

That was Vantastic!!!!!! Our band had the Dodge Tradesmen 1976 with naugahide ceiling and semi Circular sofa in the back. It ran like crap but it was plush. RIP Vic the Van

Kinda fucked up when you think that D. Boon was killed getting thrown out of a Ford Econoline van...

[@hanshan12]

No, it was a Dodge van. The rear axle broke and it rolled.
