Quote1978 GMC G15 Custom Star Trek 'boogie' Van
AMAZING SURVIVOR CUSTOM STAR TREK VAN


1978 GMC G15 Vandura Van.

I have reluctantly (we would like to shrink the family vehicle stable a bit as we now have two small boys and no time) decided to sell my 1978 GMC Vandura custom van.

The van was built up from stock in 1979-1980, paint was done by G.S. Roy, a well known Canadian artist. I contacted Mr. Roy, who remembers painting this van as well as another for the owners cousin (that one was 'mermaid' themed. . .wish I knew where it was!). The van is a survivor and sat for years in storage owned by the same family from new to 2012 (33 years). . .I purchased it in 2013 from Ontario and shipped it out to the west coast here in Vancouver where I have enjoyed every day of owning it. NOT a vehicle for the shy, you absolutely cannot go anywhere without many thumbs up, cheers, and people waxing nostalgic about custom vans and/or Star Trek. The van currently has a little over 25,000 KM's (15k miles) on it showing on the odometer. I can't verify for sure this isn't 125,000km's but looking over all aspects of the van I would not doubt if it is true. . .it isn't perfect, but is a true survivor of an era gone by and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.

Enough to sate you, Gus, and Star. However, the bill for cleaning replacing the velour upholstery is on you.

Oh, please. The next panel shows him braiding her hair while she complains about her boyfriend, and then they eat a lot of ice cream, watch Beaches and cry a bunch.

Crushed velour? I thought it was Corinthian leather. No sale.

I was just teasing. The interior is Aquaman after all. It's sharkskin suede throughout.
