    This was such a great find, from the accidental key finding to the recovery out of the garage including the BMW wheel sacrifice and then the clean! It looks amazing!

    This brought back memories, My dad drove several of these vans when i was a kid. We pulled our bass boat up to the lake in Minnesota and went fishing for a week and slept in the van at a campsite. It was no surprise to see it start up, with less then 60k miles. Chevy knew how to build them back then. I was more surprised the brakes were not locked up with rust. Thanks for saving it, I hope it goes to an excellent home.

    Sam I will tell you what is cooler than that van and that&apos;s you Sam. What you have done to support Adam C during his illness is amazing. Even shaving your hair off to match Adam&apos;s. There aren&apos;t many people that would do that for their friends Sam but you did. So to me you are a total genuine Legend 💪👌💯<br>Please don&apos;t ever change Sam. Love you buddy 👍

    Hello Sam, from your Irish Cousin, what a brilliant barn find, Buddy. Nothing will stop you from getting this beast out of this Barn. I&apos;m totally Amazed how clean it came back from the dead, and, the Polish made this black paint shine, thanks Sam, for another fantastic video.

    Hello Sam, from Douglassville Pennsylvania. Love what you did for your friend Adam, nice find on the van, I had a 1995 conversion van just like that one but maroon in color C20 was the van to travel in. Drove it til the bottom completely rusted away. Broke down overheated in Tuckerton New Jersey. Let it sit the whole weekend while the misses and myself enjoyed the trip. Coming back home (1 1/2 hours away), we kept over heating on us. I was worried the van wouldn&apos;t make it back. It really smoked up about 5 miles from home. Had to dump the ice from the big cooler to fill the radiator up and that&apos;s when I noticed the radiator had a crack in the top side so we changed it and drove back home and that&apos;s when it really blew, tore a crack almost all the way down the whole side of radiator. Put a new radiator in and drove around like nothing happen. Strong 350 engine and didn&apos;t warp the heads which was amazing all by itself. Miss that van, but pennsylvanias harsh winters rotted out the whole underneath.
