1985 GMC Vandura “Shorty” – Manual Transmission Custom Van | Clean Title | Imported from Canada Up for sale is a seriously cool and increasingly hard-to-find 1985 GMC Vandura Shorty van, tastefully customized and recently imported from Canada through proper customs channels. This unique build blends vintage van culture with modern flair and mechanical reliability—perfect for cruise nights, van shows, or just turning heads wherever you go. This Shorty is powered by a strong, freshly inspected and tuned V8 engine mated to a rare 4-on-the-floor manual transmission, giving it a more involved and engaging drive than most vans from this era. The engine runs fantastic, with plenty of torque and smooth shifting. Suspension & Stance: The van sits just right thanks to a flip kit in the rear and drop spindles up front, giving it a sporty, low-slung profile without compromising ride quality. The stance pairs perfectly with the custom exterior upgrades. Exterior & Styling: Originally finished in navy blue, the van was professionally wrapped about a year ago and still presents extremely well. It’s been tastefully upgraded with: Custom fender flares Front lip kit Nose scoop Rear wing All of which give the van a bold, aggressive presence while maintaining its classic boxy character. Underneath, the body is solid and rust-free. Interior: While the interior details aren't listed, the van retains its utilitarian charm and would make a perfect blank canvas for customization—whether you're aiming for a retro shag van, surf rig, or mini camper conversion. Other Highlights: Clean U.S. Title in hand Legally imported with paperwork from Canadian ownership Excellent running and driving condition Very rare configuration (short body, manual trans, custom lowered) This is not your average Vandura—this is a highly original, eye-catching custom van that offers classic ‘80s vibes, cool-factor for days, and a drivetrain that’s both rare and fun. Perfect for the enthusiast or collector who wants something different.
