1964 Greenbrier van 110hp 4 speed 3:27
We picked up this Texas van in February of 2022. Where it wasn't rusty, it carried a lot of Texas red dust/sand and had bumps and scrapes it had collected along the way. The engine was tired so we had the drive train completely rebuilt. Being a deluxe van, it has door panels. Dwayne Stepp of LimoLand of Springfield, custom made all of the seats and door panels. It turned out stunning. Check the van's page and slide show to the left. We went that last step, installing all new, tinted glass. New windshield, too. All new seals, we realize how time/labor and $ intensive Greenbriers can be! But it was worth it! 2024 had this van as a confident driver. It loves the highway, traveled to Wichita for the roundup. It averages 18mpg and is very happy at highway speeds.

1966 Corsa convertible 140hp 4 speed 3.55 The car had a full body restoration in 2014. 2026, there is no evidence of rust anywhere. We totally replaced and had welded in rockers, corners, floor pans and other areas which are typical rust locations. Convertibles are vulnerable, by nature, this one was no exception. The quality of the metal work has passed the test of time. The engine was rebuilt in 2019. 30 over, 270 cam and all new pistons, bearings and associated parts. Tom Knoblouch built the heads in conjunction with the engine build, so we'll have many miles without worry of dropped seats.
"Old Reliable" this is the car that anytime you hop in, you'll get where you're going in style!

1969 Monza 140hp powerglide automatic
With a power top, luggage rack and other goodies, this car was surely special ordered. Previous owner had a beautiful 2 year restoration done on the car about 5 years ago. Details include the correct wire caps. Looking forward to driving a 140hp powerglide. They are somewhat rare, haven't driven one since the Marina blue 66 convertible that we restored for a friend while we lived in Des Moines. More photos to come, it's not yet arrived, but soon. Just in time for spring cruising in the ozarks hills.

1962 Monza wagon 102hp power glide automatic
ONLY 2362 were produced for model year 1962
Chevrolet discontinued the Corvair wagon almost half way through the year. The original drive train; engine, transmission and differential were rebuilt in 2024, insuring that the wagon will have the potential for a long life on the road! This car had the deluxe cloth interior, puffy door panels and seats of brocade that didn't match the repainted exterior. We chose to go with black (heated) bucket seats in favor of the bench seat. Black door panels and carpet and new blue headliner complete the interior transformation. You see, we are not always purists when it comes to restoration. We've done Corvairs how we prefer them.

1967 Monza 110hp powerglide
This beautiful car came to us in 2012 with 27k miles.
Bought new by a lady who loved her car. After she passed in her 90s, she left it to a grandson who was only 13. Her brother kept the car until the grandson was older, the grandson snubbed the car and put it on Craigslist. "I don't want THIS, I want a Hummer!" Big mistake
We had it repainted in 2014. The enamel paint had faded and there were a few flaws that we just couldn't leave on a car this nice. Then in 2024, John relented and we replaced the aged vinyl on the seats and the faded carpet. This car is much too nice not to give it the upgrades it deserves! John's absolute favorite car, this will be the last one to leave the collection. 2026 has the car just ready to turn 50k actual miles.

1965 Monza Sport Sedan SS. 110hp 4 speed
A beautiful car, an original 60k mile car when Tom Sauter of Murphy TX repainted it and made it run beautifully. Still a VERY dependable driver, it turns heads wherever we take it. Most people don't realize Corvair had a late model 4 door hardtop. There have been times people admire the car for a long time and then notice it's a 4 door! The drive train is still completely original and until 2026, it was operating on a manual fuel pump!

1962 Monza Sedan. 102hp powerglide
This little car will be the foundation of the final restoration John and I had planned. Years ago, he had a vision, with an early model coupe or 4 door. Whether I have the courage to paint it the colors he had in mind, time will tell! An engine is rebuilt for it, there's a transmission and differential, too. I will rely on the help from treasured friends to see this one through.

What is it? Why is it on a Corvair page? It's a Whale
1969 140hp powerglide, the Corvair Ultra Van is a unique beast.
#509 is the last Ultra Van assembled to have a Corvair drive train.
With the Corvair discontinued in 1969, the folks in Hutchison KS
would have to come up with other options to keep their unique RV
on the road. There was limited success and the Ultra Vans
stopped production in 1970. There are currently believed to have been 376 Ultra Vans built:320 were equipped with Corvair engines (1-11, 201-509)
49 were equipped with 307 cid Chevy V8 engines (510-556, 558-559)
1 was equipped with a 455 cid Olds V8 engine (TU-100)
3 were equipped with 350 cid Olds V8 engines (601, 603, 604)
1 was equipped with a 1.6 liter Chevette inline-4 engine (700)
2 were unpowered (602, 605) Weighing in at about 3500 lbs, they can get between 15-20mpg

1963 coupe AKA "Rusty"
In the category YARD ART, it's here
for the enjoyment of the tourists and locals.
It is amazing how many times this car has been
photographed in the past 8 years!
We don't leave our good Corvairs outside, so it's fun to have
one that is available for those tourist "kodak moments"
