I don't think vintage van is apt.
I think I'd go more with the something like a juiced up truck, or maybe hummer.
However, you could make the more apt comparison by sticking with ships.
The falcon was a smugglers' ship, so it would be more like one of those fast cigarette boats drug runners use (or used to at least) rather than a car at all.
A better comparison would be a run down small tramp steamer that someone lives on, slapped guns on, and has smuggling compartments installed against a fully staffed naval ship on a research mission.
So, an old paddlewheel boat from the Mississippi or Ohio rivers?
I was thinking maybe something like The Vital Spark complete with Para Handy, but with guns strapped to the side and trading in contraband.
Edit: That would actually be a good show: Space Para Handy.
