My 1977 Chevy “Old School” Custom Van – the time machine. “CHEVY VAN” song link (R.I.P. Sammy Johns 1-4-2013)
All Original as she was created in 1977 by Chevrolet and Van-tastic Vans. The original owner purchased the van new in Louisville Kentucky and then drove it to Bremen Indiana to the custom van shop “Van-Tasic” back in 1977. Original Paint,Shag, Fender Flares, Side Pipes, CB, Bar, Seating etc… 121k original miles… ice cold Air Conditioning. She is tucked away in my garage now, all polished up waiting for her next show. One of my all time favorite vehicles owned! I have wanted an old school 70’s custom van ever since I was a kid going to car shows with my dad back then. I did put the original front lower air dam/spoiler back on the van to finish the lines out (it was off during shipping – last photos show it on). I also took the rear spare tire setup off the back door also..so much nicer!! Bought some new BFG front tires to match the rear ones now too. It has some chips and scratches that happen in 36 years with a very well cared for van. runs and Drives as new..if not better…and yes..the A/C works!!!
2 videos of my van… 1st is a complete walk around and the 2nd is a short cruisin’ inside video.
