Here’s How Much This 1964 Chevy G10 Mystery Machine Van Was Auctioned For

A dead ringer replica of the Mystery Machine from the classic “Scooby Doo” cartoon series based on a Chevy G10 was up for auction once again, this time on Bring a Trailer. Previously, this same van was offered at the Mecum Glendale 2025 auction last month, but it failed to meet the reserve with a high bid of $25,000.

The basis of this Mystery Machine replica is a 1964 Chevy G10 half-ton panel van. According to the Bring a Trailer listing, power comes from a 5.7L V8 Vortec mated to a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission nestled in the G10’s “doghouse” engine compartment between the front seats. Other than a custom side-exit exhaust system, there’s not much else for mechanical modifications.

Aesthetic modifications are another story. For starters, it has light blue paint with a green and orange wrap that replicates the cartoon version of the Mystery Machine. It also has aftermarket mirrors, 14-inch Cragar wheels painted like flowers, and chrome bumpers.

Inside is custom upholstery covering the seats and door panels in light blue and red. It has a four-spoke steering wheel that appears to be sourced from a second-generation Chevy Camaro, “Mystery Machine” branding on the glovebox, and a pair of beanbag chairs in the cargo area.

1964 was the first model year for the Chevy G-Series van, the first of three generations that lasted until 1996 when the Chevy Express came out. The G-Series replaced the Chevy Corvair 95 as the Bowtie brand’s commercial van offering. It’s a suitable blank slate for a Mystery Machine conversion. “Scooby Doo” first came out in 1969, and it’s very possible the Chevy G10 van was an inspiration for the Mystery Machine’s original design.

The auction just ended with a high bid of $25,000, indicating that the reserve price was lower than when the van was offered during the Mecum auction.
