Some sports people spend hours watching their favorites playing, bet with their friends and even travel the country to watch them on field. Then there’s always going to be a fanatic, one that simply lives his life by what his favorite team does. He dresses with branded clothes, buys the specific accessories and even lives in a van that is wrapped in the team’s logos. It appears to be the case of the owner of this “Who Dey Hotel” van.
We’re looking at a 1984 Chevrolet van that was customized into the perfect NFL freak machine, if you’d ask us. The wheels turn through the power of a classic V8 engine running through an automatic transmission, but other than that there are not much of ponies about it. Tiger all the way baby! A bit too much of tiger, to be honest.

Sure, we’re talking about the Cincinnati Bengals who we all know have a leaping tiger as a logo, but there’s something awkward to this peculiar car. The fanatic fellow from Mason, Ohio is selling it as a transvan he calls the “Who Dey Hotel” for $4,250. In case you’re not much of a football enthusiast, we’ll take the time to remind you of the story behind this chant.

Long story short, it started somewhere in 1980 when the Bengals met the 49’ers who they played and lost in the Superbowl, according to Bengals Jungle. Since the team was already on a winning spree, the crowd was going wild and suddenly started hollering “Who They think is going to beat them Bengals” at which point other fans would reply “Nobody”.

Funny fact: there was an auto commercial for Red Frasier Ford, who was out of business at the time, that was somewhat inspiration to the team’s fans. Here’s where the “Noooo Booody” comes from. The chant turned out to be quite popular and ended up being recorded by Cincinnati’s WLW weatherman.

Since this guy actually put the chant on the car, we can only assume the owner of the van is one of those fanatics we were telling you about earlier. If that doesn’t bother you and you believe nobody will call the police every time you park the van somewhere, then you might as well consider it as a bargain. We’re talking about all the amenities a proper RV comes with, including gas stove, refrigerator, sink, fold out couch, toilet, rear door and dash air conditioning.

From the banks of the Ohio comes that orange and black machine
They're the Cincinnati Bengals The finest ever seen
With stripes upon their helmets and fire in their eyes
They'll take the field they will not yield
They're strong and tough and wise
Who Dey.Who Dey, Who Dey think gonna beat them Bengals
Who Dey, Who Dey, Who Dey think gonna beat them Bengals
Who Dey, Who Dey, Who Dey think gonna beat them Bengals
Who Dey, Who Dey, Who Dey think gonna beat them Bengals
