[edit] Before the Mystery Machine
Before the Mystery Machine, the gang did still solve mysteries, but they had no way of their own transportation. From the time when they first began solving mysteries, which was when they were just about a year old, to the time they found the Mystery Machine, Daphne's Dad reluctantly drove them around everywhere they needed to go. In the special features of some of the Scooby Doo movies on VHS, Daphne's dad can be seen tightly squeezed into the Driver's seat driving the gang to a haunted house. This is also the special feature that reveals that Shaggy found the Mystery Machine. Fred reveals this in the interview. Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries An episode of What's New, Scooby-Doo? shows that the previous owners of the van were a popular family band in the vein of The Osmonds.
[edit] Founding
Shaggy Rogers is the buyer/finder of the Mystery Inc. van. He found it at a car lot and it was in the worst of shape. He then announced to the gang that he had found a van because they had been looking for one for quite some time now. The gang then looked at it, decided on a decision to buy it, and they did.
[edit] Upgrading the Van
After the purchase of the Mystery Machine, the Scooby Gang had to decide how to paint it, and if it would be reliable. Since it was the mid 1970's they decided to fix the van up much like the gang's attitude at that point. A Hippie Van. The gang fixed the van up to their own potential and made it their own. It is clearly recognizable from a distance. Over time the van had computers and other tech put into it.
[edit] Fan Adaptations
There are very many fan adaptations of the Mystery Machine, but many outtop the others. There are ones that blow your breath away like the one in the picture above, and there are ones that are OK. One thing is certain, the Mystery Machine is a phenomenon.
