Seller Comments
1978 Chevrolet G-20 110” Wheelbase (shorty) Van; Custom Interior and exterior Paint: See information below for all options and equipment on the vehicle: Mileage is “unknown” Odometer shows 36,016 miles: Van runs great; Have had very few minor problems with it since purchased and tuned up. I purchased the van in 2009: Custom paint completed at a shop in Washtenaw county in fall/winter of 2009/10 and interior work completed by me in early 2010: Have replaced ignition parts, starter, battery and gave it a tune-up since I have owned it. Steering tracking is straight. Brakes to not “pull” either way. Handles great. Van was purchased in York PA.; Has always been stored inside since purchase and only driven on dry days to local cruise nights and shows; Original color is black; Have all documentation/receipts for purchase and all work done and parts purchased since I have owned it. Could not see any evidence of any collision work done on the vehicle in the past. Rust free body. All body panels seem to be original. Under carriage looks like it was rust-proofed in the past. Have used 100 octane AV Gas (aviation gas) since owned so no lingering ethanol problems with fuel system).
Reason for selling is that I would like to buy a Chevrolet SSR but need to sell the van first.
