Kurt Cobain-Decorated 'Melvan' Back on Auction Block



Back in March of this year, the vehicle (a beat-up 1972 Dodge Sportsman Royal Van, featuring artwork by Kurt Cobain) reached a bid of $99,999.99 on eBay but the reserve bid wasn't met. Now it's back on the auction block and the van's owner says it will go to the highest bidder.
The Melvan currently calls Montesano, Washington, its home; it is available for local pick-up for the winning bidder. Bidding for the Melvan's second listing will end this Sunday, shortly after 3 p.m. PDT.

  1. I take exception to your use of the word 'decorated'. It seems Mr Cobain was severely artistically challenged.

    As for the van, I think it's time for it to return to the great cosmic smelter, and be reborn once more, as a dozen fridges, and a stack of rebar.

    You might guess from this that I'm not a fan of the late unlamented Kurt.

  2. I liked Nirvana. The van, not so much.
