- In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1994 GMC Vandura G2500 Conversion Van. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this van while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this van designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

I just freaking love conversion vans.
same
FINALLY! Someone who loves conversion vans!!
+Damian Sierociński HELL YES!!
I might live in a conversion van someday
I miss the old ram vans, the BENZ vans were too tall, and now the fiat ones are just unreliable. Even ROCKY BALBOA had one. :(
I love how aggressive and cool these vans look.
As a 19 year old, I would totally drive that van.
Same get all your friends and go to the beach
+Rance Vogler same thing too over here
I'm 20; bought one similar to this just about a week ago :) Saved up my money for awhile but it's completely worth it.
M&N Distribution
Fucking perv!
as a 12 year old i don't care what your age is.
I had one once. I miss it. when my house burned up I lived in it for 6 months before getting back on my feet. very comfortable
I think these are awesome.
Josh Carpenter I miss mine. these were awesome vans. and mine became my BFF when me and my old gf would fight and I'd leave lol. I'd just pop the bed out and boom,
+vscott smitley I bet these are fun to. They sure don't make them like this anymore.
Did you sell yours?
+Josh Caviness I have two of the cutaway cube van versions, a 1980 G30 Hi-Cube and a 1987 GMC MagnaVan. They're both relatively fun even without all the luxuries of the conversion vans.
I find it a bit strange that my dream car isn't a Lamborghini or Ferrari or anything like that. This is my dream vehicle. This very one. I've watched this video so many times in full, I'm stricken by it. I love it. The adventures me and my friends could go on in this beast. Cruising down back roads listening to some Guns N Roses. Driving down to Portland bumping some mellow 90s hip hop. Going across the country to a metal festival. I don't give a shit about fancy cars. This right here is what I want.
Same here. I been trying to convince my mom that. She's wanting us to be like everybody else. But I'm wanting one of these instead, and pretty much anything that isn't overrated.
same
+Ryan Cool. What kind of car does toile mother want?
+Josh Caviness *your
she doesn't have a licence....
5:13 Pink floyd and this van are a match made in heaven.
I JUST BOUGHT A '95 IN VEGAS AND I'M STILL FINDING STUFF (A BUILT-IN TELEPHONE FOR INSTANCE!). THANKS FOR THE TOUR!
Words cannot describe how badly I want one of these
did you ever get it ?
@@hollyvv3 lmao
5 years later.....
I want to get this van!!
I can go a trip with this van
Remember riding in several of these conversion vans during the '90s. Way cooler than riding in today's SUVS.
Awesome review!!!
I envied vans throughout the 80's...watching the A-Team and then seeing Spicoli and friends tumble out of one in Fast Times...
It took me until roughly 44 years of age to be able to finally get one...a 2002 Dodge Ram Van 1500...
It's literally the greatest thing I've ever bought.
Honda was pulling some real BS when they said the new Odyssey was the first van with an integrated vacuum cleaner.
This van is a conversion van. The vacuum was an aftermarket accesory. The Odyssey is the first one to come with one STANDARD
James Drew nice CAPS
I've got a after market vacuum cleaner in mine and all the same equipment as well as the NES in my 1989 G20 Sport Version but mine is higher on the inside (6'ft).
Comfortably Numb on the radio, just perfect. This is was I miss from the new videos, hearing the radio.
My favorite part of this 1994 GMC Vandura is definitely the startup (startup video is at 1:08). Love that particular engine (350 engine, I guess); wish I could see a virtual test drive on that one along with the startup. The blue leather interior with silver, white, or blue exterior pairs exceptionally well. I would drive that all day if I had the chance!
Growing up in the 90s, we had a 1994 Chevy G20 Conversion Van and to this day, it remains my favorite vehicle of all time
Brings back good times when i went on vacation's with my parents
These come in handy! I lived in a sober living home for a year and if you where behind on "rent" you had to be at the programs center for the day or at work. Couldn't be in the house past 8am so I had found one of these and it's pretty useful as I can sleep in my works parking lot.
Pink Floyd and that van go together!
absolutely
+vscott smitley nice
Really? How?
Leroy Deleon what was that song called? Probably only pink Floyd some I've never heard
Dominicq Cavezza comfortably numb
Great Van. I love these conversion Vans, especially the older ones because they are more unique.
I’ve had a 1995 GMC vandura for a year now ! Runs amazing!
The fact that this comes with a vacuum cleaner makes me want it so much more
my family had one growing up and we loved it.. !! I totally miss it. and would buy one in a heart beat !!
11:10 This is a good reason why im buying this van
No I want
No I want it
that is the coolest van i have ever seen in my entire life
as a 19 years old .. i would like to drive this beautiful Vendura ❤❤
You know your car is cool when it has a built-in NES.
heck yeah
your right
TFiPW absolutely
Caden Z oooooóoooo ppp

NOW THIS IS REALLY BAD ASS!
i just bought a garage kept Vandura, 1995, corvette engine, 140,000 miles, emerald green. i cannot wait to take a sabbatical and go on a massive tour of my beautiful country!!!!!!
I finally found it!!! This is the van. This is the van my grandmother had. I remember watching Simpsons on that TV. I remember going to Elba, Alabama from Orlando, Florida in this van. I remember peeing in a cup in the back because we couldn't make a stop and I had to go 😅. This is the van. Thank you for this review. ❤️
You know, coming back to this video, it makes me think that this is one of those vehicles where you don't know if you want to be driving or passengering
chilling on the rear seat bed listening to music. thats the ticket.
Yeah, man. but then you don't get the thrill of driving a sick (if it could even be described as that, by today's definition of "sick") ride.
@@colejackson6396 a sick ride is whatever u imagine u it to be. it's all just opinions. My Personal opinion is that This is a sick mtf ride, while someone else would jus think its lame. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh damn, those are the seats you'd find on a first class flight. lol
Xx_SuperMarioWorld69420_xX those seats are made for sex
auaiao9 Lol true
dickkickem exactly what I thought
It’s just missing the seatbelt sign
auaiao9 all you need is privacy curtains
wow classical reliable and tough 1994 technology in that bad ass van. I remember in 1994 I always used to cry and ask my dad to buy this van. I always longed and wished to sit in this van and I was 7 years old kid then. After that now this is the first time that I am able to see this van in 2014. after 20 years my obsession to see the inside of this van ended. thank you.
Mine not people carrier work is not reliable probably because we use it 5 times in tthe summer for a coattail car it's not even starting but I'm trying to get my parent to keep it
They dont make them like this nowadays cuz most of the American cars have bankruptc because of the imported euro shit!
+George Belev exactly is America never did investments with cheap imports we would still have Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Plymouth and Mercury and the country would ed end up broke cuz this country owns alot of money with other countries
That was a cool van custom with a sofa, 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System along with some game cartridges, VCR, tape recorder and CD player, radio and television. Such an awesome rear seat entertainment. So cool. Can you do a fully restored 1976 GMC RV start up, engine, exhaust and in depth tour.
Had a 1994 Dodge van almost identical to this one, great traveling van. Took 5 kids from Colorado to California and back no problems Used it to go back east several times in comfort
those power windows have more torke than a honda
After watching the windows go down your comment was funny
Tf is "torke"
@@natebrock7352 they meant torque
I see some people saying in the comments wow why does it have a v8 v6 is better! If it were a mini van yes but this is a lot bigger with a lot more accessories which=more weight making a v8 needed if it were a v6 it would be incredibly slow and break down a lot, it would put too much strain on a v6 engine to pull a vehicle of that weight for extended periods of time
I doubt it. Dodge made their 3/4 ton conversion van with a 3.9 v6 and I’ve got one.
Woah, woah... A NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM? Built in?! BEST VEHICLE EVER 10/10 going out and buying one right now! But seriously, you could almost live in this. It seems so nice, I think I might actually go buy one.
I want one too.
Do you think we could even hook up other systems to the tv?
Well, if you can hook up an NES, it is probably possible to hook up others.
+Cole Jackson what about stuff with s-video?
well, you might have to upgrade the tv, though some of those older tvs can take s-video. But I would upgrade the tv without thinking twice, though I wouldn't be able to play duck hunt without a tube tv.
It has an NES? Sold, I'll take it.
Brian Merrill what is an NES ?
@@elaineclementsfinn1872I think NES = Nintindo Entertainment System
Merrilits not custom. It's a nes 2, later yrs
Beautiful Van, I would like to buy one and travel the USA.
Excellent review of a very cool van. I loved every minute off this video. I have a Gmc low top van myself, after seeing this i feel the need for a hightop.
my mom had a conversion van like this when i was growing up, the only slight difference was it was a chevy with cloth seats, i watched plenty of hours of barney on that tv in the back. this just brought back so many memories.
My mom had a Voyager when i was growing up, listening to Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd & Kylie Minogue on the Alpine, SDX, & the 3 Pioneers on the front, this just brought back so many, many memories.
Thos beautiful beast......I've wanted one of these low top or high top since I was like 16 I absolutely love these vans
thats more like first class on a plane than a van! I really want one!
WoW this is an awesome van! So cool! And that NES with games... Brings back memories. Thank you for the upload Kyle!
Yesss I’m 21 just bought one today and I’m starting the conversion this week!!! I excited
Excellent. This one is throttle body injection, quite an improvement in power and mileage (over past carbureted).
my mom had one in the 80's, it was white with pink stripes and the whole inside was pink velour. the color was called "dusty rose" but it was pink. it also had a TV, VCR, and Nintendo. She got rid of it when our cat decided to take a nap in the engine bay. Kitty bits everywhere :(
wow...that went bad..
That’s unfortunate. Poor cat. Must have been a gruesome sight 🤢🤮
If the van' a rocking, don't come a knockin!
Had a ran van conversion, somewhat similar to this, and I absolutely loved the thing
I just got the same van year '95. Been fixing it up into an adventure wagon for the past 2 months.
This thing is incredible.
That van brings back memorys
you are right my friend. that peaceful era of 90's...
sany fin i swear i had a van just like that i miss it sooooooooo much it was extended with a 2 gas tank i loved it it looked just like that
Ahh yes my childhood this video was everything. Playing Pink Floyd in the background I loved it! Being 12 now I still love it 🥰
I totally have to agree with other people and say that this literally is a house on wheels! Still looks like it's in great shape! You should do a test drive with one of these if/when you have the chance. Also, the NES coming with the car: EPIC WIN! The only things it would need to make it even cooler is a newer TV, and a DVD player to replace the VCR. Awesome review, Kyle! Keep them coming! These reviews of older cars are fun to watch!
You planned that music didn't you
My god I love this thing!!! Every van should have a "sofa" seat that folds into a bed!
i love your detail reviews
I want one so bad..I can imagine going for a summer long vacation trip in one of these with some friends. I'd make some changes to it but it would be a great start
Why am I watching this - 8 years after it was published.....?
I dont know why companies don't make vans like they use to so more if they did a lot of people would start buying them more
They still make them its just not readily available and on their lots, you can look up new conversion vehicles. Ford, gmc, chevy,mercedes, ect still make them
These are pretty much a luxury item now and apparently only rich people buy them.
Yes these are crazy expensive now
They still make them ,but like everyone says they are really expensive, ,not a smart buy for decent working people, ,,and very low mileage by the galon makes them even more expensive
@@justingrant4860 u can find a used van like this for $2,500, which I think is a pretty good price.
Great van. Wish they made vans like this one today!!!
beautiful van. Always liked this style van.
I'd own one of these and modernized it. this thing is sick
i didn't even consider a van until i watched this video, this is fuckn awsome! it's old but still cool as shit thanks for the video
same way here but he never explained what that thing was hanging from the driver side cup holder
+ZackAttack “ZackAttack85s10” probably TV remote.
i have an older version of this van. i love it . got it for cheap...and it is a camp/ survival vehicle . van life is pretty cool
Jae Strong I wonder how many kids you can fit in it
This van is absolutely incredible
Hi there! I was getting a better look around my own conversion van and I found out that those side storage compartments for the third row of seats are actually mini coolers. you can fill them up with ice and throw in a few bottles of water and keep them cold that way. the melted ice drains to the road when you pull out those little rubber plugs down in the bottom. Never realized it was a cooler until I took it a part and realized it was insulated...
That thing looks brand new. Amazing.
THAT VAN IS PIMP! I want one 😪
Kyle you must live in some sort of mythical radio heaven because all of your videos almost always have a good song on the radio!
This is a great a team van, love it. Great video saabkyle, you are doing an excellent job
I juat bought a 1995 chevy g20 conversion van for $1,000 its in as good of shape as this one with 82K miles.
dang that is cheap...
Nice van; lots of room it, my nethew really likes it.
Awesomeness, getting executive edition today!
My first conversation van!! Nice video bro.
Road trip!
My stoner dream car 😍
+Jr Lee dang I live in Hammond too. Sadly I'm not old enough yet
that's what I'm saying just parking at like Walmart getting in the back and hot boxing the back. Only problem is cops probably pull over hippiesh looking people in vans just for looking that way
Im very impressed after watched this video. VERY IMPRESSED o.O
Never seen a van full of nice and funny stuff... confortable seats, a bed, vacuum even.. A console for entertainment of ppl... My god... this is not a SIMPLE van. Thought it was a GMC ASTRO VAN when the video started.. but it is actually a VANDURA G2500...
awesome review like always Kyle. ;)
one of the best g20 sales pitches on youtube by far!!
I would buy the van itself but the Nintendo is a definite plus. I can see myself at a campground somewhere parked by the beach and just playing Nintendo and watching the waves.
200nick2 - "I would go to the beach and play video games..."
Yes I was lookin for a van that's been tricked out to look like an ice cream truck and has pictures of ice cream treats and plays a tune that's fun for the children ~Herbert the Pervert
Que bonita! Muy acogedora, es como viajar en parte de tu hogar. Es más que una van.
👍👍🇨🇱
i love it that it doesnt have any tannings on. this over brightness is how i remember myself, in the car when i was little
A van for people who love vaporwave.
+NTRCPTR sadly they don't make them anymore
They make Conversion Sprinter vans now.
They make express/savanna conversions, but cost more than a class c motor home.
@@seanoleary1979 Cool. Good to know.
@@bobtailedtrucker2521 R.I.P. Wallet
(Tbh just get one of these older conversion vans)
I love this van style. Yt recommend in 2022. Regards from Finland :)
You are depth reviewing the most awesome van
just wish they got better gas milage
They can with modifications!
@@seanoleary1979 really how? I want to buy one i saw one online
At 0:39 I THOUGHT HE FARTED
+AGinstants✌ he did not fart the door is lose
Both hilariously wrong, not maintained by placing engine oil on door hinges per manual, tends to happen to all heavy doors on older cars/trucks/vans.
Great videos and love the vans, Subscribed, like and favourited all your videos of vans.
Master piece van. Greatness.
PERFECT FOR TWO AND A SMALL DOG 🐕. !!!! . ( 🚨AND CAN BE PARK ANYWHERE.!!! . 🚨 ). R.V. ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE PARK IN MANY OVER NIGHT OR DAYS AREAS . !!!! . BASE ON PARKING STATE REGULATIONS. !!! . PERFECT FOR RETIRED PERSON.!!! . 😎🇺🇸😎👍💖😂..
I've always wondered why such a van needs a 5.7L V8, if you are traveling, you would most likely want to spend less on gasoline! To me a 4.3L V6 would make more sense, but that's my opinion :/
Do you think it would still be reliable if the v8 was swapped with the 4.3L V6? I wish I could find one with a 4.3L swap.
+Josh Caviness They came from the factory with the 4.3.
Nope... that was an option. Standard was the 305. The other 2 options were the 350 and then the big block 454!
gavin dodd 4.3 L. Can’t cary this van baby
The 4.3 was mainly put in the astro/safari's.
Perfect music for this van,imagining that on the 70's...
Great vid man thats a nice van i always love them
Too bad I was born in 2000...
Are you still in diapers?
That's one nice van, the designers have thought of everything!
we had one of these when i was a kid, and my brother had a small accident with it in the first day :p my father was so pissed lol
great memories with this van
haha man I grew up riding in one of these they are awesome its been 15 years and still have it very nice interior
I have a 95. Drove it 10k miles this summer to Colorado, Montana, Whistler, California and back home to Arkansas. Bruce Springsteen, Neil young, Pink Floyd, and Eddy bedder all accompanied the great journey :)
My Step-dad has one of these, and my Grandfather had one before he died, they are very neat, nice and comfortable vans.
whoever had it took extremely good care of it
love those old gm vans
