Are you looking for your next ride? You know—something practical with a little bit of flair? You may not think a 1979 Chevrolet van would be right up your alley—but what if I told you that you could buy one of six officially-licensed A-Team vans? I’ll wait while you change your mind.

is selling this little piece of Hollywood history with no reserve on January 23, 2021. Normally run out of its Scottsdale, Arizona center, this year will see the auction taking place both live at its Auburn, Indiana and virtually.

Beyond its Hollywood credentials, there are some other fun quirks about this van. Its VIN number confirms that it’s actually a Chevy vehicle wearing GMC branding. It’s also outfitted with a vintage CB radio and several automatic weapons... although I don’t imagine the latter are part of the sale.

This specific van was never actually used on the show when it came to filming. It was more a show car, and the 90,000+ miles it shows on its odometer signals that use. Sorry, folks. You’re not going to be sitting in the same captain’s chair as Mr. T.

Auction details are sparse when it comes to expected price. We’re not told exact specs, nor are we given a condition for the machine—but if the pictures are accurate, it looks fairly solid. A little well-loved inside, but who wouldn’t want to get their hands all over an A-Team van? I know you would.

Anyone buying this bad boy isn’t likely to be driving it on the daily commute (although I am having a ball imagining all those gun mounts being converted into backpack holders for the kids), and it’s likely to be accepted at just about any car show you can imagine.

There are also a handful of truly gorgeous machines appearing at the same auction. There’s one of five 1934 Packard 1107 Twelve Phaeton outfitted with tons of bespoke accessories. There’s a recently tuned 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole. There’s a whole slew of woodie wagons. The ol’ van is a little bit of an outlier, but I respect its charm.

So—any educated guesses as to how much the van is going for?

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...
