The actor, comedian and soon-to-be dad joins forces with the marketplace, bringing his dream ride to life using its trusted selection of vehicles, parts, and accessories

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, eBay launched "Built to Spec: Pete Davidson," the first in its new "Built to Spec" series. The program connects cultural figures, builders, and automotive enthusiasts to design custom rides using cars, parts, and accessories from eBay.

For the debut collaboration, Davidson worked with eBay to create a custom minivan. The result is a one-of-a-kind ride built for performance, comfort, and everyday practicality as he prepares for fatherhood.

We built the ultimate minivan for dad-to-be Pete Davidson. ‘Built to Spec: Pete Davidson’ dreams up the perfect vehicle and makes it a reality with parts and accessories from eBay. And…good news! You can own one too.

As part of the “Built to Spec” program, eBay and Davidson are auctioning off a second fully loaded van on eBay – inspired by Pete’s build – with 100% of proceeds benefiting Answer the Call.

Davidson sits on the tailgate of his custom minivan, surrounded by baby gear from strollers to diapers, proof that with eBay parts and accessories, there’s room for everything (and everyone).

Inside, the build gets nostalgic with a custom VHS player from eBay - perfect for Davidson’s vintage tape collection.

Davidson built two vans in collaboration with eBay and expert builder, Tony Angelo: his personal “dad van” and a second inspired by his vision, which fans can bid on starting today with proceeds benefiting Answer the Call.

For his own ride, Davidson worked with eBay to create something one-of-a-kind – a van built for performance, comfort, and everyday practicality as he prepares for fatherhood.

"Built to Spec: Pete Davidson" is the first installment in eBay’s new "Built to Spec" series. The program connects cultural figures, builders, and automotive enthusiasts to design custom rides using cars, parts, and accessories from the marketplace.

"I'm about to be a dad, so I figured it was time to drive something practical but not boring," said Davidson. "I've always used eBay to find just about anything, like classic TV memorabilia and sneakers, so of course that's where I found my van too."

"eBay is where car enthusiasts bring their ideas to life—from full vehicles to the parts that make them unique," said Jesse Kiefer, Vice President of Global Parts and Accessories at eBay. "'Built to Spec' shows how our marketplace makes it simple and inspiring to build something truly your own."

The custom Honda Odyssey, built by Tony Angelo and the Stay Tuned crew, showcases the power of eBay to turn imagination into reality, featuring:

Nomad 501SB Convoy Satin Black Wheels
Falken Wild Peak All-Terrain Tires
Traxda Leveling Kit
Valvetronic Designs Valved Muffler
aFe Power Takeda Cold Air Intake
ARB Retractable Awning with LED
Dometic CFX3 Refrigerator
Vintage Sony Portable VHS Player

As part of the "Built to Spec" program, eBay and Davidson are auctioning off a second fully loaded van on eBay – inspired by Pete's build – with 100% of proceeds benefiting Answer the Call, a nonprofit chosen by Davidson that supports the families of fallen New York City first responders.
