1985 Chevrolet Van G-20 Conversion review from North America
"A great value and a marvel for it's age"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The van has lost A/C
One power lock broken
Carburetor
Oil leak.
General comments?
The previous owner of this van was a senior citizen who only performed oil changes and exterior maintenance. Even with the neglect, this is a very comfortable vehicle.
The steering is amazing considering that this is a full-size van.
The brakes are responsive.
One must remember that this is a machine, and like all machines it will need maintenance. This old wonder still had the original spark plugs and wires, carburetor, etc. and just kept running. I've just given this vehicle it's first real tune-up in 17 years.
