Chevrolet Starcraft Van – a van conversion on a Chevrolet chassis: 6.5-litre six-cylinder with 140 kW, gross weight 3,900 kg, length 5,450 mm, built 1998
Chevrolet Starcraft Van is a van conversion built on a Chevrolet chassis. Starcraft was an American body-conversion company based in Goshen, Indiana, which fitted series-production vans from major US brands with their own interior, often a raised roof and a custom seating layout, turning them into travel and family vehicles, a common practice in the US from the 1980s onward.

For this 1998 model the register lists a six-cylinder engine of 6,460 cm³ and 140 kW. Kerb weight is 3,100 kg, gross vehicle weight 3,900 kg, length 5,450 mm, and width 2,160 mm.
With 140 kW from a 6.5-litre six-cylinder, the van is strongly powered, accounting for the added weight of conversion features such as a raised roof, extra insulation and heavier interior fittings. At 3,900 kg gross vehicle weight, the vehicle sits just above the 3.5-tonne mark, above which the EU requires a category C1 licence rather than a plain car licence.
For a used example, check for corrosion on the roof extension and sliding-door tracks, the condition of the clutch and gearbox of the powerful six-cylinder engine, brake system operation, and the seals of the extra windows and the altered roof. Drivetrain parts run through the Chevrolet dealer network, while conversion parts are now only available through a small number of specialist workshops.
