football game season is finally upon us , which means it ’s time to put out the beach gear and don your lucky plot 24-hour interval T - shirt . It ’s also time to up your pre - kickoff tailgating game . That all initiate with the right-hand vehicle , and if you ’re still rolling up to the stadium with a pickup hand truck , you ’re blending right in with everyone else .

Instead , snag one of these pretty flippin ' sweet tailgating Cuban sandwich , which are all for cut-rate sale on eBay right on now for far less than you ’ll have to give for the primo alum club retinue seats .

1978 International Harvester Scout Traveler

Price:$9,800A Scout is just a cool , coolheaded option to a Bronco to start with , but one with the open - air experience and no back tail end ? If that does n’t scream " perfect for rolling up to the stadium on a fall Saturday afternoon , " I honestly do n’t know what does . This one has a little rusting , but it ’s not intend to be your daily equipment driver , so it ’s not a immense deal .

1975 Ford Ranchero GT-A

Price:$9,500Sometimes you just desire a dainty , plane truck bed to cary your grillwork and extra provision . That ’s still no grounds to go with a truck if you do n’t want one , though . Not when you’re able to get a very decent and wholly original mid-’70s Ranchero ( Ford ’s vis-a-vis to the El Camino , if you ’re unfamiliar ) , for under 10 thou .

1983 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Station Wagon

Price:$7,200How legendary is the enduringness of a Mercedes - Benz diesel ? This one is scantily middle - aged at over a fourth million miles . To put that in perspective , this paddy wagon was built before the University of Miami ever won a National Championship . Even at $ 7,200 , it cost less than the payments that SMU ’s tailbacks were allegedly find when this car was unexampled . And after all that , it will still hold everything you need and more , with revered style .

1968 Chevrolet Biscayne Impala Station Wagon

Price:$5,700In its base form , the Chevy Biscayne could be a footling run of the manufacturing plant , but smarten up it up with the optional Impala package and toss in a 350hp V8 and you ’ve got one sweet little sleeping car of a station wagon … which means you ’ve got one sweet band of wheels for schlepping all of your equipment to the plot .

2000 Freightliner FL60 Refrigerated Freezer Truck

Price:$9,000I sleep together what you ’re thinking . Yes , this is a big friggin ' hand truck , and no , it ’s not one you may use for very many things . That said , if you need to own the tailgate scene at your shoal , this is a pretty boss way to do it . Why ? Think about it : It ’s a giant icebox and deep-freeze . It will keep all of your beverages ice cold , your potato salad wo n’t wrench into a bowl full of bacterium , and you could fit enough in there for all of your old college buddies to partake – just make certain they contribute some immediate payment first now that they ’re all raise up .

BONUS:2005 ElDorado Shuttle Bus

Price:$6,900Let ’s say , for the saki of argument , that you ’ve bought that icebox hand truck . Grab this shuttle bus for just under seven grand more and you ’ve got a 1 - 2 lick that ’s virtually impossible to beat . Everyone car park at someone ’s firm , gobs into the shuttle , and heads off to the bowl , with the refrigerator truck right on behind it . Throw a sound system and a couple television set in here , and you might not even demand to go into the stadium . Just opine about the possibilities .
