Here at Jalopnik, we know we have a (justly earned) reputation for being stans. But we’re so much more than that. We love brown vans, campers, , coupes, trucks... anything! As our departed colleague Davey G. Johnson was keen to note, , and this former SEMA beauty queen for sale in Grand Rapids, Michigan, might just be the spiciest such vehicle ever featured on this humble rag.

Check out the glorious layer cake of burnt sienna, coppers, gold and chocolate stripes on this custom-built 1983 Chevy C30 Camper. No wonder River City Rods, the shop that created this retro masterpiece for the 2019 SEMA show, dubbed its creation “Brown Sugar.” This camper made it to SEMA’s top 40 Battle Of The Builders and was featured in several industry mags.

But this camper isn’t just a pretty face. Sugar here comes with a 5.3-liter V8 with an automatic transmission with a whole 80 miles on the odometer. It also comes with an airbag suspension, so you can be the dopest daddy at the campgrounds. There are a ton of upgrades to the suspension as well. My guess is this thing drives a little cushier than your standard early ‘80s Chevy.

What do we find on the inside of this brownest of brown vehicles? If you guessed “more brown in the form of a custom plaid cockpit,” then go grab yourself a gold star, you good noodle.

And it’s for sale, y’all. Sure, right now the bid sits at $100,099, which is a little pricy. And yes, maybe this isn’t a great time to be buying a low-rider camper, but can you think of any vehicle you’d rather be quarantined in? Think of this less as a big, brown Radwood wet dream and more your gateway into a whole new way of life. A mobile one, cause let’s face it, this camper interior is probably 10 times nicer than your current non-wheeled home.

Running water, a real toilet, and a cute vintage Coca-Cola fridge. Aww yeah. I know where I want to spend the rest of this quarantine: far, far away from everyone else, parked somewhere beautiful and remote in this bitchin’ brown camper.

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
