Vehicle Description
Fellow Deadheads, you may have witnessed this van parked at any
number of Grateful Dead concerts prior to 1995. It has reportedly
traveled to at least 15 different shows. Now, it's here at
MotoeXotica Classic Cars.
Originally built in General Motors' Pontiac, Michigan factory (VIN
code P), this second-generation van has been redecorated from stock
about 12 years ago as the current psychedelic images were added
over the original patina, inside and out.
The paint and trim are in overall very good order and really looks
good over the original patina but the van needs some TLC in places.
The engine bay is satisfactory while the cargo area is in good,
original order. A surfboard is affixed to the roof.
This van rolls on Hankook Optimo wide whitewall radials mounted on
custom, black alloy wheels with silver center pieces for show only.
The wheels are all in very good order.
In the "doghouse" between the front seat is a 230 CID inline
six-cylinder engine with dual electric cooling fans. Backing the
motor is a three-speed, column-mounted transmission and a 3.07:1
rear end.
Inside is a color scheme only found in people's wildest dreams. The
blue, cloth captains' chair and the rear bench seats are from a
donor 1992 Chevy van. While the gauges are left standard with
working aftermarket gauges, very little else inside was left stock.
The spiral wire items protruding from the transmission tunnel serve
as cupholder while the column shifter ends in gambling dice. The
two-spoke steering wheel watches you diligently and three of the
ancillary gauges are mounted underneath.
The aftermarket stereo is not operable, as are the speedometer,
tach, wipers and A/C.
The second-generation Chevrolet Sportvan began with the 1967 model,
with a new look to the vehicle and the availability of longer
108-inch wheelbase versions as well as an optional V-8 engine for
the first time. The headlamps were relocated into a new grille; the
rectangular tail lights were enlarged, and the curved windshield
was new. The forward-control cab design was retained, but the
doghouse was widened and lengthened to fit the optional V-8
Chevrolet small-block engine. Engine cooling was improved with the
redesigned doghouse; a larger optional crossflow radiator, and a
redesigned front floor tunnel to provide more outside air to the
radiator.
The original short-wheelbase,90 inches, and the new, long
wheelbase, or 108-inch vans came with a 5 � 4-3/4" lug bolt
pattern. An addition for 1967 was the G20 heavy-duty 3/4-ton
version. The G-20 featured heavier suspension, a 12-bolt rear axle
and increased hauling capability with wheels having a six-lug bolt
pattern. The G20 model was available only on the 108-inch wheelbase
version.
For 1967, the 230 CID inline-six engine was now standard. Brakes
were now upgraded to a safer split system, including a dual
reservoir master cylinder and power brakes were optional on the G20
3/4-ton vans.
Competition to this G20 in 1967 included Dodge's A108, Ford's
Econoline, GMC's Handi-Van and Volkswagen's Type 2 Bus.
Whether you're a Deadhead, or a Touchhead or any kind of fan
in-between, you should check out this '67 Chevy G20 van to add to
your collection or to buy as a rolling conversation piece. Stop by
