If you’ve ever dreamt of jamming like Jack Black did in the iconic “School of Rock,” here’s your chance to make that dream a reality. The legendary 1987 Dodge Ram B250 van that shared the silver screen with the actor and a talented group of instrument-wielding kids is now available for sale on Bring a Trailer, and it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you don’t want to miss.
Jack Black Movie Magic
For fans of the 2003 movie, “School of Rock,” this Dodge Ram B250 van is a true gem. The film tells the story of a struggling musician turned substitute teacher who transforms his class into a rock band, and this van looks like it just rolled off the movie set. It boasts all the iconic features that made it a star on screen, including color-matching wheel arch extensions, a distinctive roof vent, porthole windows, rear window louvers, and even the ladder seen in the movie. The custom artwork that adorned the van remains intact, and the cabin is still covered in band stickers, preserving its cinematic charm.
A Piece of Music History
In typical band-van fashion, this vintage Dodge exhibits natural and simulated corrosion, fading paint, and even some broken turn signals. However, it’s all part of its authentic character. What makes this sale even more special is that it comes complete with three guitars, a drum case, a movie poster, and a photo personally signed by none other than Jack Black himself. To authenticate its movie pedigree, a certificate of authenticity from Hollywood Rock-N Country confirms that Jack Black used this very B250 in the making of “School of Rock.”
Performance and Nostalgia
Underneath the layers of music memorabilia and charming patina lies a 3.7-liter inline-six engine. Paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential, this engine delivered a modest 95 horsepower when it was new. While you won’t be winning any drag races with this van, it’s not about speed; it’s about reliving the nostalgia of hauling your friends and gear to the local high school gym for a battle of the bands.
Rolling on History
This iconic van cruises on classic 15-inch steel wheels wrapped in 250/60 Sigma Supreme TR tires. While these tires have seen their fair share of action and are exhibiting some cracking, it’s a small price to pay for a piece of movie history. As for the van’s actual mileage, it remains a mystery, with the five-digit odometer showing approximately 99,000 miles.
Don’t Miss Your Chance
As of the time of writing, the latest bid for this piece of cinematic history sits at just over $5,200. But don’t wait too long—the auction is set to conclude on Sunday, so if you’re eager to own a tangible slice of “School of Rock” nostalgia, you’ll want to act swiftly. Relive the music, the laughs, and the rock ‘n’ roll spirit with this iconic Dodge Ram B250 van that once played a starring role alongside the incomparable Jack Black.
