A Front-to-Back Tour of the '77 Custom Van We're Giving Away (Entries Close November 5)

From the 350 V8 to the shag lounge and the LED lighting, here's everything one winner receives.

Come along. This is a walk around VanLife's 1977 Chevrolet G20 custom van, from the paint on the outside to the subwoofer, with a stop for the paperwork at the end. Entries close November 5, so the tour is short and to the point.

Stop 1The curb view

Stand back first. The van wears fresh 2025 paint in teal and orange, finished with custom graphics. The giveaway page promises it is impossible to miss. This is the stop where you decide whether you want to own something this bright.

Stop 1: the full side profile.

Stop 2The mechanicals

Mechanically, the giveaway page keeps it brief: a 350 cubic-inch V8 and an automatic transmission. The odometer shows 7,799 miles. Engine and transmission are all the page lists, so that is all this stop covers.

Stop 3The lounge

Now open the doors. The interior is fully customized in orange, blue and green shag upholstery. Look closer and you will spot blue diamond-stitched accents, and under your feet is soft teal carpeting. If there were a dress code for this van, it would be corduroy.

Stop 4The lighting

Find the remote. The van has a remote-controlled LED lighting system built into the interior. Picture it on for a movie night in the driveway, a costume party or a Halloween hangout with friends.

Stop 5The sound

The last stop inside is the audio. The upgraded custom sound system adds a 12-inch JL Audio subwoofer and four rear speakers, plus a Kenwood stereo. It is the stop that turns the lounge into a listening room.

Stop 6The paperwork

Every tour ends at the office. The prize is a single 1977 Chevrolet G20 custom van, approximate retail value $44,500. It comes "AS IS," with no warranty from the Sponsor. Some states and local areas require safety or emissions tests the van may not pass, and checking that is up to the winner before accepting.
