Chevrolet G-Series Van

The Chevrolet G-Series van, also known as the Chevy Van, was a fixture on American roads for over 3 decades. Produced from 1964 to 1996, it served as a dependable work vehicle and a cultural icon. The second generation (1971-1996) is the most recognizable, forever linked to the custom van craze of the 1970s and 80s with its slab sides and versatile platform.

Collectors appreciate the G-Series for its nostalgic appeal and its role as a blank canvas. It's a symbol of freedom and customization, from shag-carpeted 70s cruisers to modern camper conversions for "van life" enthusiasts. Well-preserved conversion vans from companies like Starcraft and Mark III are particularly sought after for their period-correct luxury features.

The market for G-Series vans is very broad, with an average sale price around $14,731. The low end is dominated by tired work vans and ambitious projects, while the high end consists of well-preserved survivors and professionally executed custom builds. Its simple mechanicals make it an accessible classic, but finding a solid, rust-free example is the biggest challenge for buyers.

Prices range from $265 for rough projects to $44,000 for pristine custom builds.
