- My new family travel vehicle. Wasn’t planning this one but couldn’t turn down this beautiful 90s masterpiece. It only has 56k miles and 2 previous owners. The Tiara Motor Coach conversion company made this beautiful van that has held up well.

Van was ahead of it's time pure beauty
I have the exact same van except mine is green. I love it and do full time van life in it. It only had 52,000m on it and I paid $1,000 for it and dumped almost $7,000 into it because the original owner left it sitting in the grass for over a decade. She runs strong and I saved her
I have always loved these vans. I lived in Florida in my childhood and saw lots of these…I always wished my parents would buy one, but they were happy with our minivan. I knew a few people who had these vans and when it came time to get a new vehicle, they never bought another one…they always got a Ford Explorer or an Expedition, or a smaller car. I envied people that had conversion vans.
Thank You thank you Thank You! I have been searching for days because I found some old wooden interior van parts including a wood dash bezel and I had no idea what it fit or went they went, you sir have helped me out big time. now its time to go list them for sale
My neighbors had this when I was young and I’m still jealous. Something really cool about having this technology in a vehicle at the time. I can watch Netflix on my phone on road trips but that’s still not as cool as this. Hope your kids will watch some vhs tapes!
I WANT THIS VAN VERY BAD ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
Really nice van Pete! I have a 1999 Ford E150 conversion. I absolutely adore it. You and your family will enjoy this vehicle for years. And if I’m not mistaken I think it has the 350 TBI engine which is a very reliable engine.
I have a 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood brougham with the same exact engine
It's great they still make them. THey aren't like this but the general concept exists. The last of the old school vans by GM, glad they still make brand new Explorer Express/Savana ones.
I just got a similar conversion, same year. With stiffened suspension it rides nice and tight on the road. Real comfort.
Awesome. I’m working on the suspension now. Did the springs and sway bar bushings. I’m being told to get a stiffer sway bar as well as a rear sway bar
@@petescarport My rig has air suspension in the rear and new shocks and a one inch raiser (added to stock spring in front after purchase). I live on a hill and did have trouble with the front wheel scraping the wheel well. Also, I live where there are lots of curvy roads and mountains. The set up definitely improved the cornering.
So yes I heard of doing this exact same thing. I thought about it but it was more for your situation or heavy towing. I decided to go more mild a d just upgrade the worn out stuff.
@@petescarport Oh ya, I mis the Cush but the comfort is still there on the open road.
@@sravanthimodali1650 all depends on here you live, me thinks.
I have the same. Mines is all white with burgundy pinstripes and inside leather. 48,000 miles. I love it. Hope you have been enjoying.
I have always wanted one of these vans. I still want one lol but not anytime soon
Nice, I am currently looking for a conversion van for weekend camping and trips. Hopefully I can find one by the spring.
Very nice for the year of the van
Chevy Rally wheels will fit that Van and if you paint them body Color and buy new Center Caps and beauty rings the result is sickness... Just thought I'd add my fav Chevy truck mod lol
Nice ride btw my man!
15x8 wheels . Have them a little wider. or maybe 15x10 in the rear
I have the same van and love it.
It's beautiful i love conversion van and SUV
Nice van. I'd love to have one.
Thank you
Beautiful!
Very nice van
We have a 1995 also. Love it! Ours has 257000 miles , but ready for more. It is our travel vehicle! On third transmission but because #3 guy told me #2 did not fix it correctly.
I will put in a #4 if needed. The 350 is strong as ever. Got the roof repainted couple years ago. We call it our Kansas Kruzer!
That’s amazing. We plan to keep ours forever. Already have many memories in it.
@@petescarport we have many memories also. We got it in 1998.
I LIKE THIS VAN
Love color road trip time
Omg the colorrrrrrr
Thank you. I love ut
Since there is so much space from that TV, you should turn the inside of that in to a pc/multi-consol connected with starlink sobm you have internet anywhere
Pete, I just picked up a 95 G20 with 35K by Explorer. A Creampuff. See ya in the great wide open.
Wow super nice. They are extremely valuable right now too. Not sure if you saw the one on BAT go for $22k. Short wheel base and no high top with 56k miles.
Perfekt
Still looking for one
I just bought a 95 chevy g20 TMC conversion van from a customer, been sitting about 8 years. Paid $100
Wow. Scrap is worth at least $800
Awesome video I live in the UK and I'm looking for one of these if you come across anymore let me know ,👍
Thank you. There are tons and tons in the us since they were so popular
@@petescarport thanks for the reply I have someone in the states as I live in the UK he is looking for me but hasn't found that many
There is one problem you'd have though, although we U.S. people have steering wheels on the left side and drive in the right side of the road, you guys in England drive on the left side of the road with steering wheels on the right side, and even if you drive with the steering wheel on the left side, you'll still have to drive on the left side of the road, and when trying to pass someone on a two lane road in England, when trying to switch over from the left side to the right side so you could pass someone going too slow, you won't be able to see a car, bus, or truck coming the other way on the right side, you'll end up with a serious wreck which can make you hurt or killed, not something I would want to experience, so I'm sorry if I annoyed you, but I'm just trying to help you so you wouldn't end up into something embarrassing or deadly, so are you sure you would want a van with a steering wheel on the left side while having to drive on the left side of the road? Since I live in the U.S., and have to drive on the right side of the road, I wouldn't want a steering wheel on the right side, I find that too dangerous for myself, I wouldn't be able to see anyone coming on the left side of the road while trying to pass someone going too slow, if I move over to the left lane to pass, I'll smack that car, bus, or truck without being able to see either coming, and then I could injure or kill myself and/or someone else coming the other way on the left side, which is why I would want my steering wheel on the left side, and if I was living in England like you, then it would be the other way around, that would be the only time I would want my steering wheel on the right side because of having to drive on the left side of the road like you have to, so I apologize for making you think I'm harassing you or being mean to you, I only said those things to protect you from that kind of harm, but it's your choice, I have autism just so you know which I hope you understand, but like those without autism, I can still drive, and I still know how to drive, and I could take the challenge with England's way of driving if I have to, that is if I visit England at all, and if that kind of mirror image is too much for me, then I'll just ride on the second floor of a double-decker bus in London.
I bet I did the paint prep on this van. Tiara was in Wakarusa IN. Roof and boards is what I touched on this.
Wow that’s amazing.
Hi my friend....from Trinidad looking for a front windshield for this van .....please send a link to how have?
These were definitely different times when the full size conversion vans was the best choice and suv’s and pick-up’s were of utilitarian value.
The conversion vans of today are not built in quality that lasts.
Any news on the 140 stickers Pete ?
So I’m definitely getting them but was hoping to do more merch at same time. I may just get the stickers and do free with any donation. It’s hard for me to charge for something as simple as a sticker. Thanks for asking means a lot people care.
I bought a 1995 chevy g20 Tiara motor coach van, it looks alot like the one you have. I was wondering if you knew where I could find some armrests pins, I have 2 armrests that will not stay on, that I would like to fix. Also looking for a turn signal arm multi switch. Some times my windshield wipers and washer will work fine, other times they will not work at all. Will take all the help I can get. Thanks
I would start by changing out the wiper relay. That is common thing on most cars when wipers work intermittently
@@petescarport would that also include the windshield washer
I have a 1999 s420. 170k+ absolutely bad ass ride. I'm getting ready to change the timing chain. But I can't find a video on this for the life of me! Do any of you guys know where to look for any advice?
Woops. Wrong video to post on 😬
@@philzgreat all good. Honestly most people never have to change timing chain since they usually outlast the motor. Most people change out the tensioners and guide. These are pretty simple. By the way is your chain loose or seem like it may break?
Last thing is it should be identical to changing out the s500 one. If I can find a video I will shoot you a link.
@@petescarport hey very much appreciated man. And all I know is the timing is bad. Haven't gotten to the actual chain yet. Was hoping to find a walk through video and how to start the job but it looks like I might have to be the first 😅
I'm gonna try and get the timing figured out. Then figure the powersteering leak. I just replaced the control arm bushings which was way more difficult than I thought it would be. And after that is gonna be the soft close system and door locking system.
(All of which is worth the trouble) Thank you for the help 👍👍👍
Do you know where the front window rain guards came from?
Sorry I don’t they came on the van
Funny how those seats have a resemblance to a Mercedes w140 seat.
At first I couldn’t figure out why I was so obsessed with the interior of this car. I had to buy it and my wife couldn’t figure out why I was so obsessed. Then someone pointed it out and now everyone is saying it. I guess I found the perfect w140 van
How mucho, am nedd
How much did it cost? Super condition.
I got it for $4k but I searched for a long time to find a good deal on a nice one.
4 or 14?! Both price are good
Where is the best place to look for one of these vans in the states
Facebook marketplace
Back in 2012 we had a g20 tiara motorcoach diamond executive van. Sadly the frame was rotted out.
How do you tell if the frame is rotting? I am going to look at one this friday. Maybe I should bring a car expert with me…
@@Bellasafari Look at the frame rails, if you’re not to mechanically inclined then I would definitely bring someone who is. Best of luck
@@ford89ltd yes this is on my radar! Got my neighbor rv'er coming to look with me:) thank you!
@@ford89ltd thank you!
@@Bellasafari Did you end up getting it?
Buenas dame precio y dónde está ubicado
Hey bro, havent any videos of the van lately. Is it cause youre gonna sell it? Well im in Florida lets link up :) lol
Ironically I have a van video uploading now. I will never sell the van. My dogs have claimed it and already have so many family memories in it.
Totally trolling. Love the van - wouldn't sell it either ❤
How's the leg room? I am 6'6 tall.
I don’t think they make a vehicle with more room for each section. I would say the seat goes far enough for someone 7’
My question with many of these is why am I finding them with such low miles for the year?
They were mainly used to travel but also easy to swap odometer so be carful and check history
Be carefull when buying 30 year old conversion vans. Those speedometers hit 100k and roll over and start again.
Hi. I've found the G20 5 litter v8. Do you know what's the gas miles ??
It’s not great. You can look up factory mpg but in this big one with high top I get about 11mpg average. Maybe 15mpg highway and as low as 9mpg in city
Mine is a 95 high roof, same color, Regency Brougham Ultra conversion with a 350 5.7 V8. It gets 12mpg City and 15mpg hwy. it was a two owner w/71K verified miles. Garage kept and absolutely rust free. Only had few issues. Replaced the a/c compressor, all four shocks and dated tires. Replaced all plugs, wires, belts, fuel, oil, air and trans filters. Everything works and the leather is perfect. Missing a center cap from a custom American Racing wheel that I cannot find anywhere.
@moremoney2 nice and thanks for the info. Mine has about 67k miles now and runs perfect still. Just a little bit of swaying on highway when windy. Hope to change out all suspension soon
Dude how much did you pay for it?? I'm looking at one now and trying to see if it's a fair price.
I got mine right at the beginning of covid and stole it at $4000. But a low mileage no rust good condition one will sell for $20k easily. Look at recent ones on bring a trailer. Most sell for $15-$25k depending on miles
@@petescarport I'll jump on this one then. It doesn't have the extended roof though. 😕
Feel free to send me some info on instagram and I will look over and also tell you what to look for
@@petescarport same handle of instagram?
Yes
Only?
Yes. That’s insane mileage for the year
Como te puedo contactar me gustó la camioneta gracias
Lo siento pero no esta a la venta
How much
I paid $4500
@@petescarport awesome
@@petescarport dang. I am about to pay 18K for a 93 with 30K mi on it. Pretty mint on the inside and outside. It’s really hard to value these things.
