The Shaggin’ Wagon is a 1988 Ford E150 Econoline Conversion Van with a 5.0 Liter Fuel Injected Engine. It is used for WV football tailgating.
The Shaggin’ Wagon got its start in 2003 when it was purchased for the princely sum of $1,800 cash in Virginia. It was brought to West Virginia with the intent of making it into a tailgating vehicle. Here’s a couple of pictures before the custom paint job was added.
The paint scheme was based based on a 1957 chevy. The idea was to make the top yellow and the bottom blue to better reflect heat and keep the interior cooler.
The Shaggin’ Wagon has attended every home WVU football game starting Nov. 4th, 2004.
The Shaggin’ Wagon appears in the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA. It is featured as one of the vehicles in the tailgating section. Here’s a picture from that display.
The Shaggin’ Wagon is popular with The West Virginia University Mountaineer Mascot. Here’s a few pics of the van with the mascot.
