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

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
