1983 CHEVY / GMC G20 VAN THATS BEEN HAND PAINTED WITH BRUSH INSIDE AND OUT TO LOOK LIKE THE A-TEAM VAN.THIS VAN GETS ALOT OF ATTENTION ANYTIME I DRIVE IT.PEOPLE LOVE SEEING IT AND GO CRAZY. I HATE TO SELL THIS THING BECAUSE ALOT OF HARD WORK HAS GONE INTO IT . THE HANDMADE WELDED FRONT BUMPER TOOK MANY HOURS TO MAKE.BUT IT SIMPLY DOESNT GET USED MUCH AND I'VE TURNED MY ATTENTION TO VINTAGE VOLKSWAGENS. THE ENGINE IS A 350 SMALL BLOCK. I'M TOLD 4 BOLT MAINS. BUT I HAVE NO WAY TO VERIFY THIS INFO. IT HAS A NEW EDLEBROCK 600CFM CARB AND NEW ALTERNATOR. TRANSMISSION I'M TOLD IS A TH-400. RUNS AND SHIFTS GOOD. HAS SLIGHT TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK BECAUSE I OVER FILLED IT SLIGHTY. THE STARTER IS KINDA TOUCHY. SOMETIMES IT WORKS PERFECT OTHER TIMES IT JUST SPINS. I'M TOLD IT NEEDS SHIMS ADDED OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT STARTS UP OK. I JUST PUMP THE GAS PEDDLE 2 TIMES TO THE FLOOR THEN LET OFF AND TURN THE KEY AND IT FIRES UP. THE CHOKE HAS BEEN DISSCONNECTED BY MY PREFFERENCE BUT YOU COULD EASILY HOOK IT BACK UP IF YOU REALLY WANTED IT. OVER ALL I LOVE THIS VAN. IT RUNS GOOD WITH PLENTY OF POWER. BRAKES ARE GOOD AND THE STEERING IS GOOD TOO. HAS A SLIGHT CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO A ROCK CHIP. BUT IT PASSED INSPECTION WHICH BY THE WAY IS STILL GOOD TILL 2012. ALSO THE DOORS CAN BE A BIT FUSSY. SOMETIMES THEY SHUT EASILY AND NICE. OTHER TIMES THEY HAVE TO BE SLAMMED. IT'S AN OLD VAN SO IT'S GONNA HAVE ISSUES LIKE THAT. I THINK YOU COULD JUST PUT NEW HINGE PINS IN THE DOORS AND THAT WOULD HELP. BUT I JUST DRIVE IT THE WAY IT IS. IT HAS AN ALPINE CD PLAYER WITH REMOTE CONTROL AND IT HAS 4 PIONEER SPEAKERS AND A 700 WATT JENSEN AMP MOUNTED UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE VAN ALSO HAS A POWER INVERTER MOUNTED NEAR THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE HOUSE HOLD ELCTRICITY I NTHE VAN FOR WHEN YOUR CAMPING AND STUFF. I HAVE USED IT TO POWER A DRILL AND DRILLED METAL WITH IT. IT RUNS OFF A SPARE CAR BATTERY MOUNTED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND GETS RECHARGED WHEN YOU DRIVE THE VAN THROUGH A BATTERY ISOLATER. VERY HANDY. ALL THE FOG LIGHTS WORK AND GET TURNED ON BY 4 RED RACING STYLE SAFETY SWITCHES MOUNTED ON THE DASH. THE CB IS NEW AND WORKS REALLY GOOD. MADE BY COBRA AND IT ALSO HAS A SPEAKER HORN MOUNTED UNDER THE HOOD FOR THE PA SYTEM TO MAKE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. TIRES ARE VERY NEW WITH FEW MILES ON THEM. ALOT OF EFFORT WENT INTO THE RIMS AND I THINK THEY CAME OUT REALLY NICE.THE REAR AXLE HAS A CHROME DIFFERENTAL COVER WHICH LOOKS NICE. I'M SURE THERE IS ALOT I'M FORGETTING. SO JUST ASK ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. OVER ALL A DECENT VAN. NOT PERFECT AND COULD ALWAYS USE SOME WORK HERE AND THERE. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET.I LOVE IT AND IT WAS A FUN PROJECT. IT'S A BLAST TO DRIVE.............YOU'LL LOVE IT TOO.On Jul-17-11 at 21:49:48 PDT, seller added the following information: EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING ME ABOUT THE PAINT JOB ON THIS VAN.PLEASE NOTE: THE VAN LOOKS GOOD FROM 5 FOOT AWAY. IT NEEDS A GOOD HAND WASHING TO GET OFF ALL THE DUST FROM SITTING IN MY GARAGE. THIS ENTIRE VAN. AND I MEAN INSIDE AND OUT WAS HAND PAINTED WITH A PAINT BRUSH. THE OUTSIDE PAINT JOB WAS HAND PAINTED BY BRUSH WITH OIL BASED RUSTOLEUM PAINTS. THE INSIDE OF VAN HAS HOUSEHOLD INSULATION PUT INTO THE WALLS OF VAN AND THEN THIN PLYWOOD WAS PUT UP AND THEN HAND PAINTED BY BRUSH WITH GRAY PAINT. THE VAN LOOKS GOOD IN MY OPINION AND COMMANDS A TON OF ATTENTION. THIS WAS NOT A PROFFESSIONAL PAINT JOB...........ANOTHER QUESTION I KEEP GETTING IS WOULD THE VAN MAKE IT DOWN THE ROAD A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES IF SOMEONE BOUGHT IT AND WANTED TO DRIVE IT HOME?......THATS UP TO YOU.IF YOU FEEL LUCKY AND DARING THEN GO FOR IT. BUT I CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING ON THIS VAN. IT RUNS AWSOME FOR ME AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY BREAK DOWN ISSUES.IT RUNS COOL AND OIL PRESSURE IS GOOD.I WOULD SUGGEST INSTALLING A 100AMP ALTERNATOR IF YOU INTEND TO GO DOWN THE ROAD WITH STEREO BLASTING AND ALL LIGHTS ON. IT CURRENTLY HAS A 75 AMP NEW ALTERNATOR FROM AUTOZONE THAT WORKS JUST FINE BUT WHEN EVERYTHINGS ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME IT SEEMS TO PUT A LOAD ON IT.EACH FOG LIGHT IS 55WATTS. I HAVE DRIVEN IT UP INTO PENNSYLVANNIA AND OVER TO NEW JERSEY AND ALL AROUND DELAWARE. WHAT YOU DO WITH THE VAN AFTER YOU BUY IT AND I SIGN THE TITLE OVER IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU. IN MY OPINION I THINK IT WOULD MAKE IT JUST FINE WHEREVER YOU WANT TO DRIVE WITH NO ISSUES. BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION AND I CANT PREDICT THE FUTURE. I DRIVE THIS VAN NICE AND EASY AND I'VE NEVER ATTEMPT BURN OUTS OR STUNTS LIKE ON THE T.V. SHOW. I REALLY DONT WANT SOMEONE BUYING THIS VAN AND THEN 2 DAYS AFTER RUNNING HER REAL HARD BREAKING SOMETHING AND THEN BLAMING ME...........AND EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW MY RESERVE. I CAN ONLY TELL YOU THAT IT'S LOW COMPARED TO WHAT IT COST TO MAKE THIS VAN AND IT'S REASONABLE. IT WOULD HONESTLY COST YOU DOUBLE WHAT I'M ASKING TO TRY AND ATTEMPT TO MAKE A VAN LIKE THIS .NOT TO MENTION THE TIME AND LABOR......ANYMORE QUESTION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. I JUST WANNA BE AS HONEST AND FORTHRIGHT AS POSSIBLE SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE BIDDING ON. THESE ARE ALL THE PICTURES I HAVE OF THE VAN TAKEN LAST FRIDAY. IF YOU NEED SPECIFIC PICTURES OF AN AREA LET ME KNOW AND I WILL TRY TO TAKE THEM AND POST IT...THANK YOU..........On Jul-17-11 at 21:54:24 PDT, seller added the following information: THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS INSIDE THE BACK OF THE VAN ON THE CEILING DO NOT WORK. I'M NOT SURE WHY? THEY NEVER HAVE. MAY JUST NEED A FUSE OR NEW BULBS.On Jul-19-11 at 21:09:25 PDT, seller added the following information: I GOT ASKED TODAY IF THE A/C WORKS.? NO IT DOESNT. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS VAN ORIGINALLY HAD A/C BECAUSE IT HAS CONTROLS ON THE DASHBOARD. BUT THERE IS NO COMPRESSOR . I WOULD IMAGINE IF YOU GOT A COMPRESSOR AND BOLTED TO THE ENGINE YOU COULD MAKE THE A/C WORK AGAIN. BUT TO ANWSER THE QUESTION NO THE A/C DOESNT WORK..SORRY
