Vehicle Detail
1964 Chevy Greenbrier Van. I have owned this van for a total of 31 years. The paint is Gun Metal Gray with Ice Blue Metallic stripe. It has a 1965 Corvair Monza 110 hp engine with a 4 speed transmission. The van hits the road great with no squeaks or rattles. The engine pulls strong and does not smoke or knock. Some of the modifications include: Dual exhaust, dual master cylinder, 65 amp alternator, newly rebuilt 65 Monza primary carbs done by a well know Corvair specialist in Goldsboro N.C., Fresh engine reseal and pilot bearing. Electric fuel pump with Clark's stock fuel pump by-pass kit (prevents raw gas from being dumped into crankcase in the event of stock pump failure). Petronix electronic ignition. New Clarks front door window fuzzies. New Clark's front vent window rubber. New Clark's Harmonic Balancer (not rebuilt). New Clark's heater and defroster cables. Original F.C. tire jack and wrench. AM-FM C/D player with MP3 and USB input going to 4 Sony aftermarket speakers and 2 tweeters. F.C. Delux chrome bumpers. Excellent matching tires with new matching spare. 14 inch 3-bar GM wire wheel hubcaps that are in very good condition. Corvair Spyder dash and glove box. Fully carpeted passenger compartment. Custom seat covers. 2 new horns and horn relay. Later model GM steering wheel (Original wheel conveys with sale). Leftover cans of both paint colors. Locking gas cap. New battery. The speedometer works, but the odometer does not, hence it would be true miles unknown. The van also has F.C. Delux rear taillight reflectors, but it is not a delux model van. Drive anywhere. Motor pulls strong and feels like a 140 hp engine. It is not a showcar - it is a driver, but you can tell from the list of improvements that it has had many things done to it to make it a solid dependable vehicle. People always come up to me at gas stations, and stores to inquire about this van. I parked it next to a Ferrari at a car show recently and people gathered around this van like the Ferrari was not there. My reserve is $6,000.On Oct-14-15 at 11:16:20 PDT, seller added the following information: I've had several people email to inquire if I have clear title. Yes I do. I've also had various inquiries about rust. It's had some, primarily the driver's side floorboard, and some spots on the frame rails. Anything that needed repair, of consequence, has been dealt with. This vehicle is safe and sound. If you want to buy one of these to be a show car, or pristine, it's probably not for you. If you want to buy a nicely updated and cared for survivor, one you can enjoy from the git-go, this is it. This vehicle has had nothing but good homes. I know the history of it since it was new. It was first sold new to the Holiday Inn, in Harrisonburg, VA, to be used as a courtesy vehicle to carry hotel guests here and there. Originally, it was white with a red stripe. After a few years, they bought something else, and this van was sold to an older guy in McGaheysville, VA who converted it to a camper of sorts. He had cloth curtains on the windows and had a special mattress made to fit the back of the van. I left it like that for 20 years. I bought it first in 1977. I owned it for 30 years until 2007. I went thru a divorce, and sold almost everything I owned, including this van. I had not looked at a Corvair for 7 years. I punched in the word Corvair on Ebay, and my old van popped up. I knew it was mine from the thumbnail pic. I had to buy it back. I didn't want to get rid of it in the first place! I paid almost $8,000 for it last year on Ebay. Then, I did $5,000 worth of improvements to it. Now I live near the oceanfront, where parking space is at a premium. Unfortunately, for me, it no longer fits my parking situation. When I do drive it, all I get is thumbs up from people on the street, and anywhere I park it. It's an instant conversation piece. You can lay a 4x8 panel in it flat, or haul 4 bicycles with ease. You can drive a riding mower into this thing with the low floor height. And, you only pay modest car tax each year, because it's so old !
