  • Hideously Modified Corvair Greenbrier Van

    We’re big fans of the Corvair – especially the less common body types, which means we usually love the Greenbrier van. This one has some unfortunate modifications, but might be salvageable at the right price.

  • Shortened Corvair Hot Rod

    Shortened Corvair Hot Rod

    The title pretty much says it all! Yes, this is a hot rod/rat rod built on a Corvair platform and which has been greatly shortened.  What’s left of the car shouldn’t weigh much; so the Corvair flat six should move this pretty well.

  • Extremely Rare Wagon: Corvair Lakewood

    Extremely Rare Wagon: Corvair Lakewood

    Not everyone knows that the Corvair was more than a two-door sedan and convertible.   There were vans and pickups, as well as this wagon variant. These don’t come around often, and I can only imagine not many were made.  This one’s in good driver condition, though the seller refers to some amateur rust repair…
