Ultimate Luxury van 1995 Chevy g20 TMC conversion van. My new family vehicle. 

Awesome. I’m working on the suspension now. Did the springs and sway bar bushings. I’m being told to get a stiffer sway bar as well as a rear sway bar

@@petescarport My rig has air suspension in the rear and new shocks and a one inch raiser (added to stock spring in front after purchase). I live on a hill and did have trouble with the front wheel scraping the wheel well. Also, I live where there are lots of curvy roads and mountains. The set up definitely improved the cornering.

So yes I heard of doing this exact same thing. I thought about it but it was more for your situation or heavy towing. I decided to go more mild a d just upgrade the worn out stuff.

@@petescarport Oh ya, I mis the Cush but the comfort is still there on the open road.

@@sravanthimodali1650 all depends on here you live, me thinks.

I have a 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood brougham with the same exact engine

15x8 wheels . Have them a little wider. or maybe 15x10 in the rear

That’s amazing. We plan to keep ours forever. Already have many memories in it.

@@petescarport we have many memories also. We got it in 1998.

Thank you. I love ut

Thank you

Wow super nice. They are extremely valuable right now too. Not sure if you saw the one on BAT go for $22k. Short wheel base and no high top with 56k miles.

Wow that’s amazing.

Wow. Scrap is worth at least $800

Thank you. There are tons and tons in the us since they were so popular

@@petescarport thanks for the reply I have someone in the states as I live in the UK he is looking for me but hasn't found that many

There is one problem you'd have though, although we U.S. people have steering wheels on the left side and drive in the right side of the road, you guys in England drive on the left side of the road with steering wheels on the right side, and even if you drive with the steering wheel on the left side, you'll still have to drive on the left side of the road, and when trying to pass someone on a two lane road in England, when trying to switch over from the left side to the right side so you could pass someone going too slow, you won't be able to see a car, bus, or truck coming the other way on the right side, you'll end up with a serious wreck which can make you hurt or killed, not something I would want to experience, so I'm sorry if I annoyed you, but I'm just trying to help you so you wouldn't end up into something embarrassing or deadly, so are you sure you would want a van with a steering wheel on the left side while having to drive on the left side of the road? Since I live in the U.S., and have to drive on the right side of the road, I wouldn't want a steering wheel on the right side, I find that too dangerous for myself, I wouldn't be able to see anyone coming on the left side of the road while trying to pass someone going too slow, if I move over to the left lane to pass, I'll smack that car, bus, or truck without being able to see either coming, and then I could injure or kill myself and/or someone else coming the other way on the left side, which is why I would want my steering wheel on the left side, and if I was living in England like you, then it would be the other way around, that would be the only time I would want my steering wheel on the right side because of having to drive on the left side of the road like you have to, so I apologize for making you think I'm harassing you or being mean to you, I only said those things to protect you from that kind of harm, but it's your choice, I have autism just so you know which I hope you understand, but like those without autism, I can still drive, and I still know how to drive, and I could take the challenge with England's way of driving if I have to, that is if I visit England at all, and if that kind of mirror image is too much for me, then I'll just ride on the second floor of a double-decker bus in London.

At first I couldn’t figure out why I was so obsessed with the interior of this car. I had to buy it and my wife couldn’t figure out why I was so obsessed. Then someone pointed it out and now everyone is saying it. I guess I found the perfect w140 van

I would start by changing out the wiper relay. That is common thing on most cars when wipers work intermittently

@@petescarport would that also include the windshield washer

How do you tell if the frame is rotting? I am going to look at one this friday. Maybe I should bring a car expert with me…

@@Bellasafari Look at the frame rails, if you’re not to mechanically inclined then I would definitely bring someone who is. Best of luck

@@ford89ltd yes this is on my radar! Got my neighbor rv'er coming to look with me:) thank you!

@@ford89ltd thank you!

​@@Bellasafari Did you end up getting it?

Ironically I have a van video uploading now. I will never sell the van. My dogs have claimed it and already have so many family memories in it.

Totally trolling. Love the van - wouldn't sell it either ❤

They were mainly used to travel but also easy to swap odometer so be carful and check history

Be carefull when buying 30 year old conversion vans. Those speedometers hit 100k and roll over and start again.

I got it for $4k but I searched for a long time to find a good deal on a nice one.

4 or 14?! Both price are good

Woops. Wrong video to post on 😬

@@philzgreat all good. Honestly most people never have to change timing chain since they usually outlast the motor. Most people change out the tensioners and guide. These are pretty simple. By the way is your chain loose or seem like it may break? Last thing is it should be identical to changing out the s500 one. If I can find a video I will shoot you a link.

@@petescarport hey very much appreciated man. And all I know is the timing is bad. Haven't gotten to the actual chain yet. Was hoping to find a walk through video and how to start the job but it looks like I might have to be the first 😅 I'm gonna try and get the timing figured out. Then figure the powersteering leak. I just replaced the control arm bushings which was way more difficult than I thought it would be. And after that is gonna be the soft close system and door locking system. (All of which is worth the trouble) Thank you for the help 👍👍👍

I got mine right at the beginning of covid and stole it at $4000. But a low mileage no rust good condition one will sell for $20k easily. Look at recent ones on bring a trailer. Most sell for $15-$25k depending on miles

@@petescarport I'll jump on this one then. It doesn't have the extended roof though. 😕

Feel free to send me some info on instagram and I will look over and also tell you what to look for

@@petescarport same handle of instagram?

Yes

It’s not great. You can look up factory mpg but in this big one with high top I get about 11mpg average. Maybe 15mpg highway and as low as 9mpg in city

Mine is a 95 high roof, same color, Regency Brougham Ultra conversion with a 350 5.7 V8. It gets 12mpg City and 15mpg hwy. it was a two owner w/71K verified miles. Garage kept and absolutely rust free. Only had few issues. Replaced the a/c compressor, all four shocks and dated tires. Replaced all plugs, wires, belts, fuel, oil, air and trans filters. Everything works and the leather is perfect. Missing a center cap from a custom American Racing wheel that I cannot find anywhere.

@moremoney2 nice and thanks for the info. Mine has about 67k miles now and runs perfect still. Just a little bit of swaying on highway when windy. Hope to change out all suspension soon

Sorry I don’t they came on the van

So I’m definitely getting them but was hoping to do more merch at same time. I may just get the stickers and do free with any donation. It’s hard for me to charge for something as simple as a sticker. Thanks for asking means a lot people care.

Yes. That’s insane mileage for the year

Facebook marketplace

Lo siento pero no esta a la venta

I don’t think they make a vehicle with more room for each section. I would say the seat goes far enough for someone 7’

I’m still lost on what the options were and how to tell. How do you know if the van is a 3/4 or 1/2 ton?

I paid $4500

@@petescarport awesome

@@petescarport dang. I am about to pay 18K for a 93 with 30K mi on it. Pretty mint on the inside and outside. It’s really hard to value these things.
