1986 Chevrolet G20 Van

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

In the 1960s, GM watched the success of Ford’s Econoline van with great interest. So in 1964, the unibody, rear-drive G10 series debuted with cab-over Chevy-Van cargo and Sport Van passenger models. And when the second-generation debuted in 1967, a new, three-quarter-ton G20 model was released with a stiffer suspension and a beefier drivetrain. And just a few years later in 1971, GM’s third-generation vans began a 25-year production run.

The 1971-up versions abandoned the cab-over look, and instead used a front engine layout with a hood. This not only allowed for a much roomier cabin, it also let GM designers create an attractive vehicle from what started out as simply a box on wheels. By 1986 the design had been refreshed again with a horizontally split grille, rectangular headlights, larger taillamps, and an updated interior. G20 buyers could choose from a six cylinder or two V8s, backed by a stout automatic transmission, depending on their needs. In the end, the Chevy Van had gone from a Ford copy, to one of the most beloved vehicles on the road.

This V8-powered 1986 G20 Chevy Van has been recently serviced and regularly maintained, and is ready for its next owner.
