I remember as a kid in the mid '90s me and my family rode in one for a road trip. It was like a personal living room on wheels. Beats tripping in a modern SUV.
Hello Randy. The 1984 Chevrolet Conversion van is a good looking van. You should put a bid on it Randy. The 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring Edition is a good looking car.
On the conversion van- This was 70’s and 80’s ultimate luxury. Real wood, curtains and blinds, tv’s and audio systems and lights everywhere… my dad had a 1978 GMC Gypsy conversion van with 4x4. Chrome wagon wheels, custom pinstriping, lush carpet, slow and luxurious.
Maaaaan, get that van! When I was a kid, I took a trip to from Virginia to West Texas in a 1993 Chevy Hightop conversion van. I remember that was one of the sweetest vans I've ever rode in
When i watched this earlier on I was screaming I would have it as i love the Chevy G20 Conversion Van . Buy it , buy it ,buy it , buy it . Please buy it If i lived in Usa then i would buy it as it’s awesome & I love it
I agree that the Escort is rare nowadays as they were essentially a "throwaway" vehicle and plagued with problems throughout its first generation from 81-90. However, they sold quite well during its first generation based on yearly sales of 300-400 K. I learned to drive on an 81 Lynx wagon and it always ran like crap from the time my parents bought it new. I never seem them on the road anymore. The last time I was in the late 90s.
Years ago I owned a 1983 GMC conversion van. In the end the rust got it. Driving in Michigan in the winter covers vehicles with slush/salt. I now use a yearly rust proofing and it works great. I bought the GM van in the early 1990's with about 125,000 miles. I donated it in 2003 for the tax write off due to the rust. It was as good a vehicle as I have ever owned (over 50 years of owning an auto). It had over 280,000 miles on it. It NEVER left me at the side of the road. Not ONE time. I NEVER got stuck in the snow and there were times it even pushed snow that was 2 to 3 feet in height for hundreds of feet. I NEVER had the engine opened up. NEVER! I rebuilt the transmission once due to pulling a trailer and not dropping it from overdrive. I got 18 miles per gallon highway and about 15 mpg around town. SUPER dependable and a pleasure to drive.
You should definitely buy the van. It brings back memories of the ‘94 3/4 ton high top GMC Vandura my dad had when I was a kid. I loved that thing until we rolled it on a dirt road in the mountains
Are you kidding? We would love van content!!!! ( that kind of van ) we had an 81 dodge van growing up and I miss it so bad had the tv , couch, captian chairs, and all the goodies. They holy a special place in my heart!
Looks like at least a week with the ozone machine before you could start working on the Mustang. I refinished furniture for over 50 years and in that time I restored the wood in 6 Rolls Royce's and many sports car dash boards. The vans interior wood is a challenge but doable. Great video as always. Thank you.
I passed my road test in an 88 escort wagon 5 speed. Ours was opposite of this one. Grey exterior and red interior. My parents got it new in 88 and my dad junked it in 04 when the head gasket went. Had almost 200,000 miles on it.
Definitely need to get the conversion van. Too many are at the salvage yards nowadays and this one seems to be headed that direction unless you become the savior. I also love the S10, but boy it's been a yard ornament for years! The Mustang is cool, but I can only imagine the smell. I remember how bad that red Impala smelled like, but I can't imagine anything being worse than that!
My best-friend's parents had a brand new one in the early 80s as well. We took it to their boat at the lake on the weekends which was an hour away. It was super nice!
The van is great Randy! And the PT Cruiser is almost exactly what we have in the garage. Ours has 6k miles. We have the GT model with the turbo and the convertible! Great job on this video!!
my Dad was a conversion van fanatic..we owned several in the 1980s/90s..then he went to the mini van (astro/safari) & then got out of vans altogether..would love to have one again
Hey Randy. We had the same vehicle, but Our conversion was done by Winnebago. She was in mint condition. Garage kept its entire life. We really loved and enjoyed her. We got really good trade in value on here in 2010. She only has 89,000 on her. The salesman told us he sold her the day after we traded her in. She was a joy to own
The Land Design custom van either has a 305 (cheap chassis) or a 350 (better chassis) I sold custom vans for about 8 years. They are a great way to hit the road! gas mileage wasn't bad on them.
I love the van, I wish I could afford to grab something like that up, would be a cool project for the kids to help along with. We love camping and up here in Ontario we have a bunch of crownland so fun middle of nowhere with no people, just the bears and moose lol
That van looks like a 1980's church inside. Amazing! People here use these vans for additional storage. They park them in their drive and fill them with junk. I feel sorry for whomever has to deal with them eventually.
Those conversion vans are so cool my dad had one back in the day when I was in high school and I used to ride around in it had curtains and a table in the back used chill in it. Smoked a ton of weed and just chill in it. It was so comfortable in the back of that thing!
2 things first off that escort and your Taurus definitely are rare nowadays and second off i absolutely love the chevy Sonic i have a 2013 Sonic lt with the 1.4l turbo its a dark red that we have had since brand new when we got it there were 3 miles on the odometer and 2 miles of the 3 miles was our test drive and like I said absolutely love it you won't catch me hating on them
If I was in the States I'd be all over that van. What a great find. Imagine the fun you would have either just cruising around or a road trip. An you can sleep where ever.
I used to have a van nearly identical to that back in the day. Back in my young stupid times, when I was doing some heavy drinking, that van was the bomb.
Definitely buy the van. Van life would be REALLY NICE in that van. I don't know why they don't make them like that anymore. They Definitely made cars better back in the 80s. The first thing I thought of when I saw that trunk was there used to be a body in there. Then when I saw the panels off and the bullet hole. Yep!
I know the conversion van is a little bit rough but man i absolutely love it i would drive to the moon and back and I also agree with uncle ron on the pt cruiser i love them for some reason loving the videos lately
Randy, I had a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited. And it was one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. Drove it all the way up to 232,000 miles and then ran into common basic maintenance issues that I just couldn’t afford at the time and I got rid of it. But the motor and trans were amazing !! Even with that many miles cause it may have been an SUV but I even took it to Thunder Valley just to see it’s 1/4 mile..
I love that van my Poppaw used to have one window camping in it. We went to Walt Disney World in Florida and camped in the parking lot and that van well one just like it but his black man that brings up some memories.
I had a 88 Ford escort wagon. Kind of a fun car with the 5 speed but nothing but problems with that 1.9 liter motor . I always like the GT from that generation
I had same year c20 ,driving it your legs were little cramp up. When behind tractor trailer it would blow your van around. Yup wasn't good on gas about 15 mile a gallon. Sold to guy in Pennsylvania he redone roof top clear coat. I had 55 k on it in 2013. He still owns it. Now pushing 185 k on it. Well taking care of. With the 2nd owner. We stay up to date on Facebook
Remembers when my grandfather had an early 80's Mercury Wagon, just different badges from the Escort. I was real young when he had some backfiring issues with it. He'd be on the accelerator for long periods of time & you could here the shots a couple blocks away.
Appreciate the walk-around Randy 🎬🙆👍. Guessing the owner was trying to make a gasser for the strip out of their Challenger 😮 lol ( old school) .IDK about the damage. The escort & conversion van blows my mind. Too Cool Salute Randy 🎬🚘🙆🫡
They were quite Comfortable to ride in. My dad bought one that had been a promotional vehicle for Labatt Lite beer. Logos gone but white outside, blue interior.
lots of people have no idea of an SHO.. it was rare to see it on the street because it was not successful. but that SHO was great spect.. Escort when i lived in England their were plenty of them and man people still buy them and restore them
please stop saying you’re not gonna waste our time, the van, the escort hell even that 97-01 camry next to that mustang you were showing those are the cars some of us watch for!! We’d love to see you do a timing belt and water pump or whatever (camry non interference engines) and get them running again!

Would love to see you bring the Chevy Van back to life.
*Awww man... That VAN has YOUR NAME written all over it Randy.* 🚛
I've always loved conversion vans, despite being born in the late 2000s, long after they lost their popularity. I think you should buy that one.
I remember as a kid in the mid '90s me and my family rode in one for a road trip. It was like a personal living room on wheels. Beats tripping in a modern SUV.
Hello Randy. The 1984 Chevrolet Conversion van is a good looking van. You should put a bid on it Randy. The 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring Edition is a good looking car.
I would love to see that conversion van on the channel. At least see if you can get it to run. They don't make them like that anymore.
unfortunately they barely make them at all anymore...

I built those vans back in the 80s for an Indy Chevrolet dealer. There is a big van following here in CA. Mustang is cool!
Would Love to see you get the Chevy van running again and back on the road, that was the Rolls Royce of conversion vans.

That van is incredible! I would love to see this content!

Yes that van is nice. Japan has love for those vehicles

That van is awesome....well the back of the interior is awesome, looks like a movie theater.
Spent a lot of years in my dad's chevy custom van (back in the mid 80's)
Paint the van black and stripe it like B.A.’s van on The A-Team!! Too cool 😎✌️
Buy the van please, we would enjoy watching its transformation back to life on the road.
The sound of this mustang compensates for its smell.
Definitely need to get the conversion van. Too many are at the salvage yards nowadays and this one seems to be headed that direction unless you become the savior.
I also love the S10, but boy it's been a yard ornament for years! The Mustang is cool, but I can only imagine the smell.
I remember how bad that red Impala smelled like, but I can't imagine anything being worse than that!
A friend of mine dad had 1 brand new back in the 80s. I was so jealous, they did some epic roadtrips in it
My best-friend's parents had a brand new one in the early 80s as well. We took it to their boat at the lake on the weekends which was an hour away. It was super nice!
I hope that van gets saved! It deserves it.
That van would be so cool. Such a throw back would need to be restored right though
Man oh man remember when the 84 was new?!
The van is great Randy! And the PT Cruiser is almost exactly what we have in the garage. Ours has 6k miles. We have the GT model with the turbo and the convertible! Great job on this video!!
my Dad was a conversion van fanatic..we owned several in the 1980s/90s..then he went to the mini van (astro/safari) & then got out of vans altogether..would love to have one again

Im glad the interior proved you wrong. These were the bomb back in the day. Be nice to take an extra effort to getting it at least road worthy.
The interior on that van is friggin' sweet.
I don't know how everyone else feels, but I'm loving the 2 a days 💪🤘
I know the conversion van is a little bit rough but man i absolutely love it i would drive to the moon and back and I also agree with uncle ron on the pt cruiser i love them for some reason loving the videos lately

The Escort interior didn’t look too bad and a stick!
Remembers when my grandfather had an early 80's Mercury Wagon, just different badges from the Escort. I was real young when he had some backfiring issues with it. He'd be on the accelerator for long periods of time & you could here the shots a couple blocks away.
That van is COOL. I would love to see a Maaco paint job done on it.
Appreciate the walk-around Randy 🎬🙆👍. Guessing the owner was trying to make a gasser for the strip out of their Challenger 😮 lol ( old school) .IDK about the damage. The escort & conversion van blows my mind. Too Cool Salute Randy 🎬🚘🙆🫡
