Some of you might recall an attempt to revive a beloved TV series from the 1980s in 2010. Backed by renowned actors such as Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Sharlto Copley, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, and others, the A-Team remake failed to reignite the interest of critics. However, most fans and newcomers reportedly found it entertaining. As such, an opportunity to own iconic memorabilia from the original show is here. Check out this 1983 GMC Vandura in all its glory.

Credit goes to Hollywood Productions for building all of the A-Team vans in the fleet that were roaming in Canada and the United States.

It will make its public debut on the stage at Worldwide Auctioneers’ Scottsdale auction. The even is pegged for January 23, 20201 which is a Saturday. Not only will the winning bidder own an awesome working prop, but proceeds from the sale will also go to J. Kruse Education Center.

Replica firearms such as a pump-action shotgun, Uzi, M16, a floor-mounted machine gun. This 1983 GMC Vandura likely gets its power from a 5.7-liter LS9 350 V8 engine good for 155 hp.
