  • Back to you ALL the way from the PNW again, just outside Seattle, WA , we're back with Lil Ol' Nicky Vandura and the 1976 Chevy Beauville aka "The Gentleman's Muscle Van". This time we're getting it all buttoned up and ready to go For Sale. (SOLD)
    We look back to when Nicky found it and flash forward to the final touches of doing our part at giving this bitchin old rig a second chance at life on the mean streets.
    And remember, " Will the last person leaving SEATTLE- Turn out the lights "
    Enjoy Errybody!

    I had a 75 3/4 ton Beauville back from the early 80's until the mid 90's. Drove that thing to hell and back and it never let me down. What a great vehicle and I still miss that driving position!

    Reminds me of the '72 3/4-ton Sportvan my uncle had: Same shade of green (On your upper-body) with a LT9 350-ci. 4-bolt block/THM350 automatic transmission. Also--while he had it--he had a "Energizer"/RV cam and Holley Economaster carburetor installed, to help it get better mileage and pull his boat or 3-axle camper trailer. But when that van was unloaded, man... did it "boogie"!😉

    One of my best Chevy vans was a 90 Beau. My son wore it out, but it was a midwest rust bucket anyhow

    Cool mo sheen. Keep'em coming! You need to slap a ROLLING HEAVY sticker on all of the Vans you work or play with man. They can wear it proud. ✊🏻

    Brings back memories. I had a 1989 Beauville van with the weak 6.2 diesel. Great van, weak motor (20 mpg on the highway though). I had it for over 20 years and it was still in great shape when I sold it. Looking to buy a new Chevy Express with the 6.6 gas engine - 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque! Whoo hoo, talk about a "Gentleman's Muscle Van"!

    Those vans are so adorable even with dirt... It's always a pleasure to take a spin on the canal! Greetings from Argentina 👍

    I had the most fun in one of these. Mine had 22,000 miles on it when I paid $3200 for it in 1982. I'm driving a Jeep Wrangler now. I miss the room. Mine had a towing package that included a posi-trac rear end. I drove than thing in the riverbed deep sand and climbed steep hills!

    Hey dude. Cool build. I have a 77. Does your doghouse (engine cover) have a weather strip seal on both the cover and the base or just the cover?

    I just acquired a 79 beauville. Can you share how to set the cruise lol

      OK, now pay close attention. You get the van to desired speed, then press the button. Mind blowing, I know. Then when you wanna turn it off, tap the brake. It may take a year or so to get the hang of it, but practice practice practice.......

      It's all right there in the video bud, but that ship has long since sailed.
