I sold my old Econoline, but I have been after this '76 Chevy since '97. It's been in a local yard, and I've tried to buy it off and on over the years. Finally got lucky.... It's being drug out now, and getting a set of wheels.... It looks rough, but is solid. It used to have a Close Encounters mural on the side that has since faded away:

They have the grille somewhere..

BUT...... it has been closed up and the interior.... well, it rocks:

Very cool that you are saving the van.
Looks to be a 1977 or later since I see the body line on the side of the van.
Please keep us posted. Brad

You now what? It's a very late 76 on the the door post, October I think... I bet it IS a '77. It's a bill of sale only deal. I'm not savvy on my vans... Thanks!

Are you going to redo the Close Encounters mural? You could get a funky custom horn...


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!

Not going to redo the Close Encounters mural, but I've got a top-secret UFO idea that is going to be out there... (bad pun intended) but the van will definitely stay space themed. I have to get it on all four-wheels first... I am pretty excited.

On the back door it says "We are not alone" .. I will be putting that back on there.
