Late last year I had a latent desire to relive my mispent youth and started searching for one similar to the one I owned "back in the day". That one was an Alles-Chalmers Orange 1964 GMC 90" wheelbase van.
It was equipped with a home built Z28 302 V8, an all sychro Saginaw 3 speed, 10x15 rear/8.5x15 front slotted mag wheels, L60x15 rear/E60x15 front tires, orange and yellow shag carpeting with wood paneling, bar, and bean bag chairs in the back. It was a very fast bread box 0-100 mph; aaaaaaaaaah the memories!
The one I purchased (with your help) was listed on craigslist as a 1963 Chevy Van. My understanding is that the only thing GM offered in 63 was a Greenbiar Van.
At first I did not open the ad, but later I did and found that it was indeed a 64 Chevy Van (mistitled by the state of WA). This one is also an Alles-Chalmers Orange 1964 Chevy 90" wheelbase van. It is equipped with a 307 V8 (cam, headers, performer intake, Holley carb, HEI, TH350, oil & trans coolers and "Zoomie" side pipes), 10x15 rear/8.5x15 Torq-thrust D mag wheels (pre 1970), 275R6015 rear/245R6015 front tires. The interior is a blank statement and it has straight rust free body(some surface rust only).
Some of you may recall seeing this ad.
Thanks again, 63chevyvan?
