I'd like to see it with a modern-day front wheel drive unit it to give it great performance and a smooth ride. Then finish the interior to a plush finish with as many rows of seats that will fit in it. It would make a great family vacation travel van, with everybody having a window seat. Great episode!

The moment that Derek grabbed the Peak antifreez to pour on the sparks made me bust out in a mix of laughter and crying because it was so funny and I know my mom would have also foung it so hilarious.

I’d like to see a full restoration. This brings memories of when I worked out of these vans for deliveries and appliance repair. The ones I drove had the 240ci six and three on the tree too. I remember there was a grease fitting on shifter shaft behind the grill that nobody greased and then you couldn’t move the shift lever. One guy I worked with actually broke the shaft. Heater made noise but not much heat.

It has been decades science Dad and I turned a wrench, and he went home to be with the Lord many years ago. I miss him a lot.

At 65, it was revving its heart out. Kept waiting for it to shift into high gear (even though it was there). I think they changed from this style to the new one in mid ‘94.

Congrats Derek, going prime time on Motor Trend. A guy is now a celebrity. Just came across a new channel in the community called R&G Garage. It’s a guy trying his best to do what he loves on the weekends. A feller can relate to laying on his back with harbor freight tools. Check out his channel, hopefully the community can pay it forward and give this channel a shout out and motivate him with more subscribers. Love the community!

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize he went primetime. A fella is definitely going to check that out.

I'mma gonna have to give that R&G Garage a lookin and click that ol' subby button! Love supporn' gearheads that don't know much, but still get the job done!

We had a Super Van when I was a kid, we installed D-rings in the floor for tie towns and hauled 2 dirt bikes in the back.

This collaboration is awesome! Another collaboration I'd love to see is Vice Grip Garage and Jennings Motor Sports, I feel like there's nothing you guys couldn't get running.

[@richardkafka5625]

OMG, the last 3 minutes, I'm still laughing!!! Great video guys. This feller truly enjoyed it. You and Jared worked great together. Look forward to part 2 of this build.

[@ViceGripGarage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KHALABEEB]

@@ViceGripGarage Glad You didn't die!! But Jess might kill you anyway for being that sketchy...worse than Independence? 🤯

[@voluspa6867]

Omg my favorite part is usually seeing the drive back home and I was sad seeing the video almost reaching its end, but dang those last 3 minutes were incredible! A fire!? A door swinging open, lol I as dying

[@OCDRex11]

Watched many VGG videos. More or less I have watched them all. Yup, pretty sure of that. But this video, I have to say, was the best yet. I liked the teamwork, the loyalty til possible death on the ride to the shop and the fire even..... This was YT gold. Gonna look forward to the revival videos as well.

I Had one of These and gave IT away for a Sportster. Very reliable, Solid and Always good on Gas mileage with the two Barrel 302

My grandfather bought a Super Van the year he retired and would use it as a camper on many solo road trips through countless amber waves of grain (and back!). I for one will be very glad to see this "restored" to a going to town rig again. Keep doing exactly what your instincts are telling ya, Derek. I'll be a fan for life.

[@hopefultraveller1]

PLEASE - keep the van original! It would be a testament to your great (and hilarious) teamwork! This collaboration is the start of something great, I feel - more please!

[@jamesrodriquez2863]

This took me back to my younger years when a friend of mine and I would do this sort of thing. The ride to the shop was THE BEST! I was laughing my ass off watching you two. I know exactly what it is to finally get an old rattletrap car or truck going just enough to get it home. Once it starts moving ya really don't want to have to stop for anything, including a small and manageable fire. LOL!

[@tekvax01]

I knew of two people each that had one of these vans! they were great back in the 70s and 80s!! Nicely rescued gentlemen!

[@bigheadbiker]

I laughed so hard on the ride back to his shop! First, great to see the two collab on something else, it’s like seeing superheroes work together to save the world! Second, hot road that thing! Maybe an EFI setup or multiple carbs! Or just put a blown 460 in the back ! Keep it up boys!

[@brightonlund]

Loved seeing Jared on the channel. You’re an awesome duo. It would be awesome to engine swap this and get it mechanically sound then turn it into a camper van.

[@MitzaMaxwell]

You two make it pure entertainment, no matter what happens it's exciting not creepy. Even a car fire You to make to a good cliffhanger, good team work.

[@jimsykes2745]

Chewed, Choad, Chawed, as i remember them float some where between verb, noun and adjective, All of which can trace their source of ambiguity to the word chew. which is both noun and vegetable.

[@adamwilson6]

The drive to the shop is the greatest thing I've seen in a long time.

[@megapixel2004]

Absolutely lost it when you two finally hit the road. Best. Revival. Ever.

[@vwbyoy88]

I can NOT get over all the WONDERFUL, life saving safety tips that we're able to get from these videos!!!!

[@Sammywhat]

The music upon it's rising from the dead was brilliant!! Thank you, Derek! Great editing!!!

[@chirkware]

5:55 Yes, they are wind deflectors. From what I've heard, the wind against western junior mirrors made an annoying noise, and those helped quiet it down. Standard for the vans, but dealerships would add them on trucks too if owners complained about the sound.
