1976 GMC Van

This 1976 GMC Vandura 2500 is said to be one of 500 units that was modified when new with a Freedom ’76 conversion package by Leisure & Recreational Products (LRP) of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and it shows 23k miles. The van features bubble windows, side pipes, 15″ turbine-style wheels, swiveling chairs, shag carpets, a musical horn, an eight-track cassette player, a refrigerator, a sink, and a flat-folding convertible rear bench. Power comes from a 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. This Vandura 2500 is offered by the selling dealer in Florida with a clean New York title. The van is finished in white with stars-and-stripes graphics on black backgrounds, and it has hooded headlights, curb feelers, Tasmanian Devil mudflaps, a luggage rack, a rear ladder, six tinted bubble windows, and side exhaust pipes. Matching exploration-themed murals are located between the rear windows on both sides. Alloy 15″ wheels are mounted with 255/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The van rides on a 125″ wheelbase, and it has power-assisted steering and front disc brakes. The front swiveling chairs are trimmed in white vinyl over blue shag carpeting, which extends to the roof, door panels, and curtains. Appointments up front include air conditioning, a center console, a Craig AM/FM/eight-track stereo, a rearview mirror with a back-up camera display, and controls for an electronic musical horn. A two-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and four auxiliary readouts. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 23k miles. The rear cabin has two additional swiveling chairs, a tufted white headliner and side panels, a pair of round tables, a sink, a refrigerator, a Sony portable television, and a flat-folding rear bench. The carbureted 5.7-liter V8 sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. Additional underside images are viewable in the gallery below.
