1989 Chevrolet G20 Conversion Van
Henke780
Stockholm
Basic information and History
A unique & stainless Conversion Van from a smaller builder who prioritized comfort and appearance. An extremely popular model that works just as well as a daily driver or a holiday car with the possibility to stay overnight in. This is a Swedish-sold and stainless model that has never been driven in winter and has been used very sparingly in recent years. The seller's father bought it from an acquaintance and has used it as a holiday car. A ready-to-drive car with a high level of comfort that, despite its shortcomings in terms of paintwork, is absolutely not ashamed of itself, with a full paint job it can quickly approach exhibition condition.
Ordered new for a Swedish customer by Van-Craft in Georgia. Imported to Sweden as used, but has never been in the US. 7 previous owners where the first had it from 1993 until 2015. A very rare conversion by Van Craft in Marietta, Georgia who built cars between 1987 and 1995 and this one was ordered by a Swedish company for a Swedish customer. The chassis was manufactured in June 1989 and it was registered in Sweden in July 1991.
