Well done and great Corvair Van, there used to be a lot of those on the roads in the US.

I only saw one or two Corvair Vans in person. And, I didn't really see a lot of Corvair cars growing up in the 70s and early 80s. I did see a lot of Ford Falcons and Chevy II's though.

Cool! Pity we never saw these in Oz.

I had a 64' deluxe. Miss it sooo much. I've driven a VW and COrvair and the main difference is power and Corvair rather comfortable. Tremendous air circulation but not putting VW down. They're nice also nice.

These really are way better than the VW van. I have a 1964 Greenbrier Deluxe; In 64 they up the displacement to 2.7 ( 164 C.I. ) with the standard engine being rated at 95 HP, & they offered a optional 110 HP engine in 64. The 64 I own has the optional 110 HP engine along with the optional 2 speed Power-Glide; & they truly are easy drive long distances. The one you are offering up looks great, & sounds perfect. Thanks for the video.

If I could afford it, I'd have a VW Van, Corvair Van, and an Econoline from the same era. And they'd all be manual transmission. They each brought something to the table.

[@ACF6180T]

@@MisterMikeTexas That they did.

It's a 4 on the floor! And, powered by a 6 cylinder! Nuff said! 😊

80hp was a lot of power in 1961. If sold in Europe back in the day, the thing could have been marketed as a Porsche Van, seriously.
