Sweet ride,makes me want an 85 k5 blazer even more.Im also relieved that VHS 📼 tape found was a joyful Christmas and not what I was expecting to find🤫😆
My grandparents had an awesome custom Ford van with a TV/VCR and a freaking mini-fridge! It was amazing!
I own one of these just it's a starcraft low top shorty and they are so comfortable
Someone should make a door chime for this that plays the TV theme intro for "The A Team" (80's TV series) when opened. 😂😂😂
I think it’d be cool to put in a high power Mercedes engine into one of those and do a cannonball run with like 5 people.
You’ll have to dig out a Renault Avantime. It’s a two door minivan with the most amazing doors. Then what about Citroen CX Safari. Especially the six wheel version.
I owned a 1980s van. I hated it. I could not see to back up, particularly at an angle.
Here in California orange county especially if you don’t have a lot of money and you want to live the life in a van this would be perfect
I have a tri color maroon, 1994 custom. Everyone trips out over it all the time. I like that gray.
we had a Dodge Maxivan conversion with a 360. I learned to drive in that thing, it was like a damn house on wheels but had a lot of pickup for its day.
Mercedes v class. vw california.
Damn I like this lol , really maken me want one to take on trips or vacations . There is a 80s or 90s model it looks just like this one but it's a redish maroon color GMC an in good condition a older guy had it an drive it all time an slow or easy when he did drive it before he passed. Thought about asking his son if he sell it or something cause I want one an plus there is so many at junkyard next to me in this same condition can I don't understand why people are junking these or even doing that these are beautiful and very nice for a van this old from back then lol . The ones I seen at junkyard once I sat in one an checked it out I was like this I damn these seats wow so soft an that wood grain ahh man just suckers me in more 😂🙃
I learned how to drive in a Dodge high top conversion van
For a $100,000 you buy a real bus. Or a Mercedes van, what crack are you smoking 😂😂😂
You been robed Howee! $9,000. 😂😂😂😂
I give you a $1,000 for that van. And it better be in good conditions!
I have exactly the same van, same color and interior that comes from my father. I have the 350 engine in mine. I have this one and a cargo version. These are by far the 2 vehicles that I like the best to drive and the ones that I prefer in all the ones that I have had.
Do you still have it? Are you interested in selling?
During Junior High my Football coach would pick us up this van back in 1983. We all had great memories driving to & from the games.
Definitely sharp-looking van
Right on ..I have a 90 c20 love the dam thing.long trips far more comfortable.from fishing in Florida to New york.its been there.
For sale?
You need to get the tv/vcr working and put an original Nintendo in it!!!!!!
That van 100% does not have 14” wheels.
That’s my favorite van in the world. I would give a kidney to have that.
I grew up with those conversion vans; (Ford 87 and then 95 Econoline Vantages) We drove across most of North America several times in them!
nice van
Dangerous drinking game: Every time Hoovie says, "These are the most comfortable seats ever made. ... Ooooo! Ahhhh! That is so comfortable! AAAAAAH!"
My parents had one! Boy that brings back memories of road trips and looking out the windows (pre smart phones). I’m disappointed you didn’t talk about one of the vans coolest features which is the side opening front wing windows. Now sadly a relic of the past.
This video: "why would you buy a new conversion van for 100k when you can get an Escalade for 70-80k" New conversion van video: "definitely buy one of these for 80k instead of an Escalade for over 100k"
Do it up to look like a toxic waste/ambulance delivery van with an air cannon delivery service.
استمر يا وحش
Reminds me of Bob's van in Halloween. He and Linda would have probably been ok if they used it as their shaggin wagon.
I have 3 conversation vans
My first car was a Chevy G20 conversion. Mine was a short wheelbase with the 4.3l V6. I got it because I was into model aircraft at the time, and it is was close to me and inexpensive. It was done by Mark III, and had a lovely satin white DuPont Imron finish. My 5'10" self could stand upright in it, it was like a big scary, tippy, comfy couch.
These uncle Rico vans are sooo dope. I want one hella bad so me and my girl can travel around in it
Great, except they get like 8 MPG...
My Grand parents had simmilar 91' Chevy G20 conversion van here in Poland in early 90's.It was great car.I have lots of memories with this car.We travelled lots of times across Europe.I regret that we sold it.
If you drive one of these on a long trip you need to install an IV of strong coffee in your arm. Otherwise, you will fall asleep.
Question? Is that a Witt, Norton, VA sticker in the back? I remember that Chevy dealership!
Your mom's corvette looks weird
Paint or wrap it Black and you have a really cool custom van.
$9000.00 is a great deal. A 1995 G20 Conversion Class B RV sold for $31,600.00 on e-bay last month. Chevy G20 Class B RVs in excellent condition are rare to find nowadays.
If this van’ s a rockin don’t come a knockin.
12/15/2020 Selling a '79 Sedan Deville 120,000 mi!!! North Carolina car. Price Negotiablewilmington.craigslist.org/cto/d/wilmington-1979-sedan-deville-price/7244492063.html
Love this van I met my late wife in a van actually looked just like it we used to go camping every weekend
That murder/pedophile stigma attached to old vans is total bs.
No.1 cylinder crapped out on the early ones. Thin casting made it hot & vulnerable. Don't know if this was worked out by the end of the run. Owned a '96 GMC Mark III hi-top. Shifting solenoids crapped out. Damn dealers would charge for a new transmission when they knew it was a $25. job. Hell to pay one day.
A friend of mine has one in high school, party on wheels.
U look like the frenchman from the matrix reloaded.....but way better attitude....I want a conversion van now
2 Brothers had low top ford E150 Conversion vans 1986,1990
My uncle was a bus driver for MTA Baltimore and he had a brown 85 G20 Conversion Van.
My grandma has one she blew the motor In 6 years ago that she's giving me
I remember when those were everywhere on the road...Like the SUV of today....Nice...it still looks great....
Mr. Hoover, I believe this may be a new request and a first for your channel...I have become a homeless person due to a series of unfortunate incidents in my life...I am wondering if there is any way for u to sell me this vehicle so's to help me keep a roof over my head and shelter me from what the winter will bring...my income is so limited, that I cannot even afford to pursue bankruptcy...can u find it in your heart to help me in this dillema I now face?..this is not a joke...and I do not lie. I do not exhagerate. Thanks so much for your time. God bless.
Love Machine😍
I would lay a bet replacing the heater core would be a nightmare in that van... but looks like fun to enjoy!
What candy would you advise hiding in these?
90's was the end of the era of really well built vehicles.
Your video inspired me to seek out my mom's Dodge Ram van. Turns out, her boyfriend (she died 14 years ago) held onto the van for me to get when I was old enough! I didn't know this, like we had discussed it but I didn't think he was really going to keep it and give it to me, but I reached out to him and he's like yeah, come get it! She's in really rough shape but I plan on getting her running and sorted out after the years of neglect. Lots of memories in that van. I bet one of my Disney movies is still in the VCR.
I miss my van!
If that van a rocking Don’t go a knocking
I work at a drive up bank. There’s a guy who comes through every week with one of these. He’s got one of those chain link steering wheels on it too like from Cheech and Chong up in smoke.
The whole front dashboard looks like 2000's Rolls Royse phantom dashboard
I like what you say but how you say it is a bit hard to take especially in the mornings if you enjoy easing into your mornings. Listening to you is as if you have turned your radio on and someone left the volume up or someone loosened the lid on your salt shaker. Dump! Arrhhggggg! Ease into it boy. Take your manic drugs..
My parents had one in the mid 80s but they weren’t cool.
I took a sprinter cargo van and converted it into a 80s conversion Van. I could fit two rows of conversion van sized bucket seats and a three spot conversion bench/ bed in the back. But I could also do three rows of CV buckets in the back or replace rows 1 and two with two seater benches or Pull out row 2 and in rows 1 and two have CV three seat bench beds though getting into the back was a bit of a squeeze
I bought a 92 G20 over the summer, and oddly enough, mine came with Miracle on 34th Street on VHS. Strange we both got OG Christmas VHS'.
I have this
Sweet vid, great assessment. The ford chariots are also awesome... It’s the greatest muscle luxury vehicles ever!-) Muscle van? ........ Check. Heavy Metal Hightop?..Check. Rare? ................Check. Going up in value? YES. The 1996 Ford Chariot Hightop with a 5.0 (302), is the rarest ford. The 1998 Chevy Chariot Hightop with a 350, is the rarest of the Chevy’s.
I love this van wish I had one.🤞🏼
Hoovies, we are big fans of yours and the Wizard, do you still have this van and would you be willing to part with it? we were hit hard by the COVID19, we are in our 50's and need a place to live, please let us know, Andy
good luck finding a parking spot in the go cart parking of today. they where great to take a girl to the drive in .
My grandpa had a van like that not same color I’m 7 ok I don’t now some of color names
Just bought a 93. 7/10 exterior white and green.. Interior 7/10 really only bad carpet. 67k miles. One owner. 1200 bucks. Needed a fuel pump. Did all maintenance and addded built queen bed in back. Added new smart TV on swivel and new stereo with Blue tooth. Diamond Edition Green on Green interior. Super ugly super nice super bad ass. Already put 5k miles on it and pulled 6k lbs 14 hrs drive. I grew up in one. Like driving first class
That's how babies are made.
My parents had one without the light strip center. They were comfy for sure. Ladders are for luggage..lol.
I have a 1994 chevy g20 hi top. Good condition with only 158,000 mi. What's it worth out dare?
:( good times sleeping in one
No LEDs in the 70s or 80s
I would totally buy one of those in a heart beat if I found one as nice as that.
I just bought one of these but it's a 1997 Dodge Ram Van for only $600! Clean title, ac and stereo still working! & Nothing wrong with it 😂 might sell it soon.
We had one back in 2010 and I miss it
I am still on the hunt of a Pall Sherry Conversion Van !
I had many hot chicks stay with me in candain winter s
My black foot name is Marc Marc two .many many van
The nostalgia its...overwhelming 😞
Sure park the van in front of your mansion.
Chevy still makes the conversation vans. They come with a back up camera and all wheel drive. But, your right the are expensive.
I love these old vans, even more I love those infamous 1970’s DIY conversions with carpeted dashboards and airbrushed murals on the side....
One of my neighbors of the block I'm living own a solid light blue Chevy conversion.
I have a 1995 chevy g20 limited Explorer with leather and a rear sunroof. Love it. I'll have to upload a vid
Thanks for saying" Rubber tires" ; I would be confused!
Spend $5000 and have a good Handyman Build that into a Camper vehicle and ya can sell it for 20k...:)
So fun to drive
We need more videos with your mom in them.
Dude I own an ice cream business and I buy this exact van all day long under a 100k for less under 2k and really nice.I got shocked when u said 9k.
you have got to be able to do a great jeff goldbloom inpersonation. lets hear it.
"Cause like a princess she was laying there Moonlight dancing off her hair She woke up and took me by the hand She's gonna love me in my Chevy van And that's all right with me" --sammy johns
Oh the memories! So much fun!
