    Holy moly! That thing should be in a museum! These 1974 vans were rustbuckets by 1979 in my part of PA. I remember my dad had a friend with a GMC version(I think it was a '76 and it was pretty nice at one time) and by like '82 it was a rusty mess.

    Plus, in a different world, different time, you got an ash tray for everyone all the way back.

    Beauville trim usually means full side glass and the nicer interior if it’s as original as it looks, I hope the triple-row seats and rear A/C hardware are still there. Love the “ashtray for everyone” haha

    Probably for the market to revert back to 2022 when everyone was paying crazy prices for everything.

    The upholstery on this thing is amazing. What a nice looking example. This is another one of those vehicles that where everywhere when I was growing up. They were mundane. Now they are on "the list of vehicles I once thought nothing of but now like and sorta want"

    We lived in Minneapolis Minnesota for about 4 years when I was very young. My dad was in construction and was around many late 70's early 80's trucks due to his trade. He said that the GM products of the time were so susceptible to rust that they called them rust buckets even when new and there was a running joke that went along the lines of "on a still night, you can hear a chevy rust"
