Pressure is mounting. Time is running out. That perfect gift for that special someone has eluded you for too long. Maybe it is a wife. Maybe a girlfriend. Maybe a drifter that you have seen wandering around your town aimlessly. No matter who it is for, anyone who receives this 1974 Chevy van will love it, and you…until they try to shift it. That is unless you give it to a circus performer on the contortionist squad.

You are looking at a short wheelbase 1974 Chevy van that has a 350ci small block engine and three pedals! Yes this thing is a four speed and it had to have been shifted on the tree when new.  The Hurst shifter is located so far back behind the driver’s seat that there’s no possible way the factory wanted it there. Hell, that shifter is an excuse to get some friends in the back so that driving can become a group exercise. Lord only knows what other kinds of “group exercise” has taken place in the back of this van over the years, right? Am I right. BARF. Anywhoooo.

This van has polished slot mags on it. There is a freaking Pegasus mural on the side. It has had some sort of weird “aerodynamic” hat installed on its roof that no only gives more headroom back there but also mangles this box’s already sad fuel economy. That lip on the back is just plain amazing.

There is a graveyard painted on the back doors, some sort of a mouth painted on the front, and so much awesome you can probably smell it coming from a mile away.

We could go on and on but the sand is running through the hourglass. Buy the damned van and save Christmas for someone. Maybe yourself. Do it now.
