I'm winning this Retro 1980s Ford Conversion Party Van for $250!! 

Many of a young maiden lost their innocence in such a van.

Please bring the van back to life!!!! That’s a AAR-MRM road trip special

I’m with you on the 90’s cars and even the mid to late 80’s. Growing up they were the cars.

Like older cars? Your not alone I'm sure. At 80 I remember these in the showroom and my daily driver is a 1984 Dodge B250 camper van with a raised roof. Who says you cant hold onto the past.

Honestly the fact that Shadow was in the good of shape is pretty amazing. Most of the time you see those Shaodws the clear coat is all peeled off or rusted away and unfortunately most were Automatics but the fact you found one in such good condition is impressive

That was a trip down memory lane. My mom had a '84 Dodge Shelby Charger with a 2.2 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual. Red with the black and gray pinstripe interior. I had to ride in the hatch area more times than I can count. We moved from CT to Florida in that car.

vanmandad approves - thumbs WAY up on the Ford Conversion van! You can easily remove that plastic housing with the cupholder to the right of the driver's seat to access the engine. Great find Randy!!!!! 👍🇺🇲😎

Dodge Daytona carol Shelby edition, that's the only thing that would come to my mind randy!!

OMG RANDY what a treasure trove of classics in this video!!! I REALLY hope you win the S10 Blazer, the Ford van, Dodge Shadow, AND the Saturn SC1 from the previous video!!! It's time for Randy to have a big fleet of 80s & 90s classics! Maybe there's a film project being produced locally that needs these as background props or the main character's car! Sweet!

I bet you are happy that most GM vehicles now use top post battery. Side post battery, definitely do have their pros and cons. The first truck, that definitely shows it’s not the manufacture, it’s the owner that makes a vehicle last.

That Dodge that your parents had was likely a 1980s Dodge Charger Shelby. Was a 2 door hatchback with a turbo 2.2. (shoulda watched longer glad you found it 😁).

The '83 van is sweet. 😊. I would definitely drive that for sure.

I used to own a ford conversion van,, It was the most comfortable rig I ever drove on the highway,, The captains seats made it seem like you were driving your living room down the road,, It will not tire you out on a long drive,, :-)

Definitely need that econoline Randy that van is beautiful for an 83.

That’s why you and Big Al are some of my all time favorite Car RU-vidrs. I love seeing cars I grew up with being given another chance at life.

I love seeing those old cars from the 1990's and you find them.😊👍

Charger Daytona.... there was also the Omni GLH and the Omni GLHS (Goes Like Hell Some more)

I had a nice fully equipped '76 E 150 conversion van in College. That thing was a blast !! Many good times in the back between class breaks..😎 Also had the famous sign on the back. "If this van is rocking, don't come knocking".

The Ford van brings back so many good and bad memories but mostly good despite the one time I almost drowned. My aunt had a black one and we used to load it up during the summer months and head to South GA to go swimming.

I should have waited until the end of this video, you found several interesting vehicles, it was quite a honey hole today

it isn’t surprising that someone who has a channel for rebuilding cars would love 90’s/80’s American cars, they are the perfect subjects for rebuilds.

That's an ignition control module. Both of my 3rd gen camaros use the same as that.

Get that van!!!!! Fix it up and take Jessica and the kids on power tour

I get excited for old cars to... crazy how small cars was back in 80's and 90's

Those square body blazers are really sharp. Especially the 2 door versions.

The conversion van brought back memories for me, but not good ones. We had a 1983 GMC G20 Compliment Conversion Van that we purchased new. The dealer assured us that it could tow our 3,5000 pound travel trailer without problem, and just from the standpoint that it was a 3/4-ton chassis the weight shouldn't have been a problem. While it came with a 2" receiver hitch, it was ill prepared for towing duty as we learned very quickly as many of the conversion vans of that era were. The conversion was very heavy, the truck had the base 307 cubic inch Oldsmobile V8 with Automatic Transmission and 3.09 rear differential -- as equipped, the van was doing well to motivate just the van and the six passengers that were often in the passenger compartment. We were happy to go back to a full-size, pre-final down-sizing Oldsmobile Delta 88 Roayale Brougham Luxury Sedan at the beginning of the 1985 model year, and I still have that car today.

The GMC is nice Randy. I believe you can pull the mileage off the ECU with a scanner. The 1987 Shelby Charger maybe 🤔?. Thanks for the 🎬🔥🚘👍. Salute Randy 😎✌️

OMG RANDY what a treasure trove of classics in this video . Please bring the van back to life.

My 2nd car was a 94 Dodge Shadow. It was 2 door, yet not a hatchback opener like this one. Same color, however, that color was flaking off the hood & trunk back in early 2000's which was notorious for blue paint of this era. Just hearing it crank is nostalgic too to know how the engine sounds. Thank you. It's always a joy seeing you share these rare 90's vehicles.

My parents bought a 90 Plymouth Sundance sedan years ago new. It was a nice car and both roomy and comfortable for a compact car. Good luck Randy on the brown shaggin wagon!!

Any vehicle from the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s and early 2000s I like awesome video a lot of nostalgia

I remember back in the day.. longer than I want to admit.. my cousin had one of those vans.. either that or the Chevy.. don't remember.. But I do remember the cup holder missing and the hole went strait through to the road.. That blew my mind as a kid..

That van would a great addition to your house lot....!!!!!!!!❤

I had a black Shadow ES stick 2.5 turbo back in the day. Blew a head gasket and the trans. Still loved that car. Girl rear ended me and it was gone.

I also had a Chevy camper van! Like that brown one except I had a TV sitting on a shelf built into the roof slot/bunker/sleeper bunk over driver&pass seats

Vary awesome selection indeed. Keep up the great work.

Yes! I certainly do enjoy your content! Thanks for all your hard (fun?) Work & content. Btw...from the other video. I had a 94 dodge shadow & drove it to 150k with absolutely no issues! I'd buy one right now from you if you got it up and running!

Love the Ford vani had one 5 years ago good luck buddy

My dad had one of the old dodge vans like that, couldn’t remember the year to be honest. But it has the table in it. I loved that old thing.

That a nice old Ford van. Very nice interior. I hope you win it.

I found an old pic of my dad's 85 Ford econoline, remember getting this dark blue with running boards and aluminum racing style wheels, the alarm was a key in the fender, with captains chairs.

I had a 86 Lancer Pacifica, loved it. Turbo, Limited production of 500 only California. A year later they made a Shelby version much the same except intercooled. Was a hatchback also. Totalled at 140,000 miles.

Hey Brandy, just wanted to tell you that I got done watching your afternoon video and you do a awesome job on it. I love those Copart walk around and I ate a walk around in those ABC auction walk around and all your other stuff that you do just keep the contact coming for me would you and I know you will so I hope you’re having a good day. Talk to you soon again can’t wait till your next video comes up. Have a good day.

Dodge Omni 024 Shelby . Fast pocket rocket a friend of mine had one . Cool little hatchback 🚗. That car deserves to live bring it to the channel it can’t go for much or cost much to repair.

Love that old van .

A old 80s Econoline limo van to me that's what interior looks like & few early 90s S10 Blazer & pickups wooow Randy u checking out my kind stuff

Randy that little piece for the white Blazer with the TBI 4.3 is the ignition control module. It mounts onto the distributor. Used to test those when I worked at an auto parts chain store. Mine burned up on my 2.8 S10 and left me stranded one morning.🙁

Loved seeing all these retro cars.

Yes, Randy, I enjoy watching.

Randy, you need to buy that Shadow! I love when you bring classic cars to the channel and bring them back to life

I had a Shadow exactly like that. Never had a problem with it. Did super in snow. Ckeaned the oil returns and replaced the valve cover gasket and timing belt. Had 127,000 miles when sold. I had it 4 years. Not bad for a 1993.

Randy get the Ford conversion van. I used to have a Chevy Astro conversion van that had 356k miles on it when i sold it. It was still running strong. There are times i miss it.

I hope you win that old van and that dodge shadow. I would watch those videos in a heat beat

I love that freaking Shadow! RANDY, I think you’re talking about the Daytona. It came in the Shelby trim and was a hatch. It was produced in the same years!

Nice Ford Van, It Won't Take Much To Get It Started And Save It ! ! ! I Have A 1980 GMC Van Keep On Vannin

There was another version of the Shadow that Plymouth made called the Sundance. I remember an elderly woman gave our family a 1990 for free one year!

Old digital guages are awesome until they start to short out. My 04 towncar actually said i was going -1mph the other day while i was stopped. Didn't know it was possible to go negative 1 lol.

Hey Randy.......the 2 trucks I have now are an 83 F150 and 95 GMC 3500.....I used to have a 95 F350 and a 97 Z71.....I have a few videos of them on my channel........bring all the old vehicles back to life....😁

I remember the Dodge shadow from my childhood My grandpa bought it as a barn find and it was my favorite car growing up

If later you decide to bid on the Shadow that would be a cool little car to get running again, I share your affinity for the 90’s cars, you really can’t find many of those anymore and I bet you could win that one really easily

"Nobody wants these things."....lmao. That van... running/driving in that condition is an easy $5500-$6500 these days. Huge following for vans right now, clean conversion vans like that sell quick.

I owned a 95 dodge shadow in manual 5 speed red with tan interior and it was so so reliable and only needed front axles it had 250k miles never ever had a single issue with it! This sounds like a timing belt the way it’s trying to start This one’s in great shape! And overall nice paint

Awesome looking van Randy! I have great memories of one like that we can't discuss here!😂

I really like those older vehicles , especially that van ( in fact I was coming up on my 18th birthday when that van was built )

Absolutely love the old vans. Also love the GMC Suburban platforms you can’t kill those trucks

I weath dive the old school cars and vans over new ones good video keep up the good work

07 Yukons ewww. That shadow looks good along with the van! No need to feel bad for liking 90’s cars! Keep it up randy! Nice content!

Hi Randy, thanks for saving some of those 80's and 90's cars, I think they are mostly unloved. I think GM's 2.8 V6 was pretty good engine, at least in my experience. I like the interiors and looks of conversion vans, I wish they would have been mass produced as four wheel drives though

I love the old vans and trucks great video sir.

Buy it and rebuild the motor!.. what a cool blast from the past vehicle

Id buy that Shadow too. Love older 80’s and 90’s cars. Hope you get that Saturn!!

Make sure to save that van that thing is amazing would hate to see it go to scrap have a special love for those vans

My dad had a 1985 Plymouth Horizon and I bought a 92 Plymouth Duster . Great little cars for us

The 2.2 l and the 2.5 l are both non-interfing engines. You could break a timing belt on those all day long and all you had to do was reline up the marks and they were good to go. I have changed so many head gaskets on 2.2 and 2.5 l. I could do it my sleep. It's actually a super simple job. I love those cars. I still have an 81 Plymouth reliant with a 2.2

We had the 80’s charger with the turbo and it was JUNK !!

My brother had a white dodge shadow turbo manual. He was also into competition stereos. He had an awesome system in it.

The GMC was nice and when it comes up for sale buy it.👍

Look at that nice Ford Econoline and your Ford Ranger is there too.😊👍❤️

I have the same Yukon same color looks brand spanking new with 340k on origanal motor and trans with paper work only issue I have is rear end just exploded best truck ever

The van would be the best ever power tour vehicle for you and Mike oh man it would be awesome

"This stick extends.." THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!

Hey randy awesome walk around video. I see you were talking about your step mother and father had a similar car as the shadow. Are you talking about the Shelby CSX or CSX-T or CSX-VNT. Keep up the great content as always.

Yes Randy I'm definitely a lot older than you I'm 76 years old and a disabled veteran and I think that van would be very good for your videos it's not that bad looking it'll clean up nicely Charlie kretschmar Phoenix Arizona PS I would love to have that van myself but I'm on a fixed income and can't afford it anymore but I still think it'll be a good one for you to get back on the road Charlie kretschmar Phoenix Arizona

My late father had a 1994 Dodge Sundance. The rear lights were hybrid. On the left there were dodge shadow taillights and on the right were Sundance taillights. I ended up driving it into my neighbors gate and wall at high speed. The airbags saved me and my sisters lives. Solid car.

Good morning sir. Good to see you again.

My parents had an 1986 ford Econoline when i was a kid a lot of road trips in that thing

There was actually a Shelby version of the Dodge Shadow too. It was called the CSX. I too share the love for 80s and 90s cars..I think you should try and get that lil Dodge Shadow..would go well with the Sunbird convertible you have

I like those older Blazers too. 👍

I had that exact same color 93 Dodge Shadow ES. Loved that car but at the time I was struggling and it was unfortunately repoed in Joplin MO. 😢

Randy I have 1999 dodge ram van 1500 5.2 now I have 2000 Lincoln town car in awesome shape low mileage

Hey Randy I think what you're talkin about is a Dodge Shelby charger I used to have one in 1986 I believe the only came in 4 colors silver black red and blue I believe they only came in for colors but I could be wrong that little car was pretty quick to. But I bought it brand new so I never had any problems with it.

That van looks good Randy 😎😎👍👍

the ford van is making a comeback some of these older vehicles you could make a small mark up and flip as is to people that have been looking for years for something to build

My buddy had a 93 dodge shadow same color i had a 93 Plymouth sundance at the same time. We got in a bad car accident in my buddy's shadow. I blew the trans in my Sundance still drove it around for 8 months with no reverse lol

The Dodge Shadow I would definitely buy it my mom had one of those and she loved it.😊👍

First class luxury Ford van when cross country traveling was popular.

I had a 1973 thunderbird with a 429. I loved that car and I had a 1976 montie Carlo

Should turn it into one of those Van life campers.

A buddy of mine and i used to go to karaoke all over Jersey in a Dodge Shadow. I can't believe thes cars are just memories now. We never see them.

On the Blazer the part is an ignition module. It goes under the distributor cap.
