Description for Chevrolet Corvair 1965
1965 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier Best in Show : Corvair International Convention Extremely rare "8 Door Deluxe" version From the Bill Jabs collection of award winning Corvairs comes this spectacular Greenbrier Deluxe 8 door. 1965 was the last year of Greenbrier production. a metalworker's strike delayed the introduction of Chevrolet's new Handyman/Sportsman van and Greenbriers were used as a stop gap measure. Just 1. 28 were made over a 2 month period. the optional 8 door versions were of course made in even more limited numbers and the Deluxe version of those were rarer still. This particular Greenbrier has been professionally restored and has traveled approximately 100 miles since restoration. It scored 98. 40 points at the CORSA International Convention in Ventura and was granted the Bill Mitchell Award for Best in Show.

The visual appearance of the undercarriage was restored in accordance with the factory assembly manual specifications. Better than production line standards? Yes.
