=== Design ===
Between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, the Moonbeam is straightforwardly modeled after a [[Wikipedia:Chevrolet Astro|1985—1994 Chevrolet Astro/1985—1994 GMC Safari]], but it has tall taillights. Minor cosmetic changes have been made throughout its appearances, but the van has generally retained its bulky 1980s design, making it unattractive in all its appearances. Whilst the GTA Liberty City Stories rendition of the Moonbeam is based on that of GTA III, the GTA Vice City Stories rendition adopts the design of the GTA Liberty City Stories or GTA III rendition, instead of the usual GTA Vice City rendition.

During development of GTA III, the van was, at one point, known as the "'''Aster'''", a clear reference to the Chevrolet Astro name. The "Aster" is depicted in the [[Capital Autos]] website.

In GTA IV, a Moonbeam is requested as part of [[Stevie's Car Thefts]], appearing with a uniquely black and red body. As a new Moonbeam will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to [[S&M Auto Sales]], the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another.
