"1995 GMC Safari Van
Not since the A Team television series have vans been in the cultural zeitgeist. As the�dailyyonder.com�pondered in 2022, ""There's the recreational vehicle and then there's van life: a niche nomadic lifestyle movement reserved for travelers who access wild, beautiful places via vans converted into homes on wheels. Whether they've spent $5,000 or $350,000 to retrofit their rootless abodes, van lifers seek the same things: flexibility, fresh air, and freedom.""�
For consignment, a 1995 GMC Safari van showing 144,058 miles, but the true miles are unknown. Even if this isn't the basis for a van life conversion, it's one heck of a show truck, with custom body work and paint, and basically a blank canvas in the cargo area.�
Exterior
Throwing it back to the custom vans of the 70's, this windowless wonder is covered in bright red and while it's missing the iconic porthole windows of the era, it does have the boomerang antennae of the 80's on the roof sharing the space with a spoiler, all color matched. Full monochromatic coverage includes the cowled hood, the grille and headlight bezels, all bumper covers, hinges, and side mirrors. The flared rear fenders blend to surround Cadillac style tail lights that flank barn door style doors with rear tinted windows. An extended rocker panel houses an exhaust tip before each back wheel while those wheels are Billet Specialties with 17-inch in front and 18-inch in back with false knock offs and staggered size tires. Shaved door handles all the way around complete the custom look and imperfections are limited to some mismatched touch ups and thin paint in a wheel opening.�
Interior
Door panels are standard GMC with gray plastic over a carpeted lower, showing a bit of patina with scratches in the switch plate and soiling on the plastic. Gray and light gray alternative in bands is on the bucket seats, which are in nice shape, featuring a spun metal plate on each of the bases. Up front we find a three spoke, leather wrapped steering wheel with Chevrolet branding ahead of the standard dash with the typical five gauges, speed, temp, oil pressure, volts, and gas level. A pod on the right holds the heater panel while the center houses an AM/FM/CD radio over a protruding cupholder and glove box. Gray carpet covers the floor nicely and a charcoal headliner finishes the cabin. In the cargo area, sound buffering panels are attached to the ceiling while an elongated speaker box travels down both sides on the floor which is uncovered. Wood fiberboards cover the sidewalls.�
Drivetrain
A 5.7 liter LS1 V8 is shoehorned under the hood and our consignor tells us it was installed 14,000 miles ago, along with the transmission, a 4L60E 4-speed automatic sending power the 10 bolt rear axle. Power brakes are standard configuration with discs in front and drums in the back.
Undercarriage
Minimal surface rust and dry conditions are found on the undercarriage where headers lead to dual exhaust with FlowMaster mufflers after which a custom bend takes the tailpipes to the sides. Suspension is coil springs in front and leaf springs in the back.��
Drive-Ability
The back window appears at the end of the tunnel and allows rear visibility as we crank the V8 up and roll this custom van out the door. 45 series tires create a lower profile and some good handling, but it's still a van on stock suspension. Meanwhile, she tracks straight and has plenty of power to get you across town or across the country. Things that don't work include the passenger power window, the power locks, and the reverse lights. All other features, standard GM stuff, work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
We'd call it the Mystery Machine, but that's probably trademarked by Hanna Barbera. But this van does have an allure and mystique and a wildly unique outward appearance. As for the inside, the sky's the limit and there's plenty of room to set up a van life conversion behind the standard cabin. V8 power and some smooth exterior lines make this a worthy contender for show and go and this would have been the natural progression if the A-Team had stayed together through the 90's.�
