1965 Chevrolet Greenbrier


Chevrolet built this 6 door “Sportwagon” like all the Corvair’s in its lineup with an air cooled 6cyl engine.  Produced between 1961 and 1965 this is # 1203 of the final production run of 1528 and delivered in December of ’64

This van has been restored to a point that it is reliable, safe and EYE CATCHING

Purchased 5 years ago in Colorado, the van was plastic bead blasted to bare metal and 48 years of beauty marks massaged out.  I found 5 coats of paint but thankfully only 1 rust spot that was repaired properly with metal.

The seats were rebuilt with modern materials and the table (non-factory) kept for the retro look.  Interior upgrades are:  Factory front bucket seats, full carpet kit, and seat belts for forward facing passengers.

Exterior upgrades:  Colour matched powder coated rallye wheels with correct diameter 215-65-15 radial tires. The original van engine block was converted into a 140HP 4 carb with progressive throttle linkage.  True dual exhaust including ceramic coated headers.  3.27 diff and factory 4 speed rebuilt and resealed.  The extra HP & torque get this vehicle up to speed quickly and the lower gear ratio (stock is 3.89) allow you to cruise all day at modern highway speeds.

Also included with the van are the original 110 HP heads, three FC gas heaters in various states of assembly plus any and all corvair parts I have including spare axles, lights, front grill that all came with the van.  For those of you residing in the US, this vehicle is an easy import as it originated in the US and is over 25 years old.  My last two corvairs are now American citizens and the buyer had no issues crossing the border.  I will assist in delivery as best I can and willing to even meet at the border near Buffalo NY

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years

Fri, Feb 21 2014

Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.
