This GMC Van got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1980 GMC G25 Vandura was reported modified as a conversion van in the 1980s and spent time in long-term storage before being acquired by the seller in 2018. Finished in white with gray graphics, the van is equipped with a ground effects kit, running boards, a windshield visor, picture windows, and an Indy Spoiler/Awning as well as a 5.7-liter V8, a Turbo-Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission, and chrome-finished Cragar S/S wheels with BFGoodrich tires. Service under current ownership included replacing the heater core and performing fluid services. This Vandura is now offered in Canada with manufacturer’s literature, two keys, a spare set of wheels and tires, historical license plates, and a British Columbia vehicle registration.
