This van is ultra-rare. Its so rare that there are no official statistics to be found on how many 8 door windowless panel vans made it out of the factory. There were plenty of Greenbriar (passenger van) models, but I only know of 2 other 1964 8 Door "Corvan 95" windowless models in existence. One is in Tennessee in disrepair yet slowly being restored... The other was sold in Florida a couple years back for $25,000 (restored, of course). The 1964 vans came with the bigger, 164 c.i. 110 hp engine, unlike the 95 hp rating of the 60-63 models. Most of the few 64's you will find either have windowed doors on the back (or even sides as well), this one is a true panel.

The good:

It runs! I can put some gas in the tank, crank it over and start it. It runs a bit on the poor side, though, due to a missing exhaust gasket on the right side. It also weeps oil out of the gaskets due to dry rot. It was last on the road in 1993, as far as I can tell. As of the last time I started it, the right side carb float was sticking. At first it overflowed with fuel, then stopped when I whacked it with a screwdriver handle... only to start running great before sputtering down to three cylinders. It is now stuck up instead of down.

It has 5 brand-new custom-drilled Giovanna wheels with directional tires. I had to modify the rear spring perches for these wide wheels to fit and give it the right stance. Perfect setup to bag it if you want.

The transmission and differential were replaced last year with low-mileage units. They showed virtually no wear when picked up, and the van has only moved a few feet back and forth since then. It will need the seal between the cases replaced before driving, though.

The generator was upgraded to a GM 1-wire alternator for more reliable charging. There is also a solar battery maintainer on the roof to keep the battery fresh at all times.

No true rust, just the surface kind from the west Texas sun beating on it for 50 years. You won't find a cleaner tub to start with.

It comes with a lot of spare parts! I have carburetors, door hardware, the original wheels, etc. There is even an original AM Radio and enclosure sitting in there (the van did not come with the radio option from the factory) and a new (used) sunvisor as well as a N.O.S interior dome light assembly. I am not sure of everything included, but if I find it in the van, it will go with you.

That paint is the ultimate in 60's retro styling. Nothing says "I have a beard full of bird's nests" more than the look of this van. The custom roof rack just adds to the appearance.

Clean title on hand, plates expire 2-14. Sticker in the window says 2013, I never changed it.

The BAD:

The clutch and flywheel are toast. There were 3 styles used in the vans and the only way to find out which one you need is to tear into it and look. Nobody makes the parts anymore, but you can send the originals off to be rebuilt (the rivets on the flywheel commonly break and scatter the clutch) or find a specialty recycler with the parts on hand. I know of a yard locally with all three styles on hand that can be matched up for replacements.

When I tested out the new transmission, the scattered clutch caused things to bind up. I found the next weak link, the weld holding the shifter to the ball hinge. The same recycler as above has the right shifter, too, or you can weld this one back together. You decide.

There is no valid inspection on the van. The taillights need to be rewired. As they are now, there is no tail, the low filament tails light up on brake and the turn signals hit the bright brake/turn filament.

I rescued this thing from a junkyard in horrible shape a couple years back and started sorting through everything until I was hurt on the job and had to stop due to a couple surgeries. I don't see myself able to finish this and get it on the road in a reasonable amount of time, but someone with the space and physical abilities could have this on the road in no time at all! A few of the pics are from the day I got it for reference. The black and blue custom wheels are on the van, the black steel wheels with chevy hubcaps are inside.

Finally, shipping. Yes, eBay has a spot for it, but it only allows canned responses. With reasonable accommodations and time given, I may be able to deliver this to you for $1.00/mile from El Paso, TX 79924. As it is inoperable, this will cost more for a standard auto carrier to haul. Honestly I prefer local pickup, but I can't be too picky. Bring your trailer down and pick this old beast up, let me bring it to you, or send a transport company, it's up to you. If you chose to have me bring it, be advised, I will not leave without payment for the vehicle and the delivery charge in advance.

Deposit of $500 to be made within 24 hours of auction close. This can be done by Credit Card for a 3% premium. Contact us to make arrangements to pay the deposit, but it won't be through paypal. I don't have an account, nor do I desire to set one up again.
