For Sale: 1977 Chevrolet G30 – Classic Project with Character
Looking for a unique vintage vehicle with a story? This Chevrolet G30 started its life as a school bus in Mountain Home, Idaho before being parked in a field. The second owner, a car collector, bought it for his teenage daughter, but she ultimately chose something else. Acquired in 2022, and served as a daily driver for about a year.
While the G30 isn’t considered “rare”, finding one—especially a short bus in running condition—is becoming increasingly difficult. These classic workhorses are getting harder to come by, making this a great opportunity for a unique project or conversion.
