Autohunter Spotlight: 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbriar

Currently listed on AutoHunter is this nifty 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbriar van, Chevy’s “forward-control” van that was properly known as “Corvair 95,” reflecting its 95-inch wheelbase. The family-style Greenbriar was available from 1961 until 1965, the full duration of the Corvair 95’s existence. It is powered by an air-cooled 145ci flat-six paired with a Powerglide automatic. Features include two-tone paint, manual steering, fold-flat 60/40 front seat, aftermarket mag wheels, surfboard, and more. Painted turquoise and white, this unusual Bow Tie is available from the selling dealer with a custom surfboard table, tool box, beach supplies, and clear title.

The turquoise and white paint scheme perfectly encapsulates 1963. Two front doors, right-side barn doors, and rear barn doors provide access to the interior. Other features include custom window tint, back-up lights, and engine vents on the rear fenders. A set of 14-inch Centerlines are wrapped in 215/70 Hercules MRX Plus IV radials.

The large cabin features white vinyl 60/40 folding front seats, and vinyl and patterned cloth upholstery for the second row. Other features include teal shag carpeting, compass, custom surfboard table, dash-mounted hula girl, and manual steering.

Instrumentation includes an 80-mph speedometer and a fuel gauge. The odometer shows 15,652 miles, though the vehicle title reads mileage-exempt.

The air-cooled flat-six was originally rated at 80 horsepower with dual single-barrel carburetors, and it’s backed by a two-speed Powerglide automatic. An Accel ignition coil has been added.

The undercarriage features drum brakes at all four corners and a single exhaust system.

A total of 11,993 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbriar vans were built for the model year, which means they aren’t very rare. However, the rate of attrition for this type of vehicle is quite high, making this family-style Corvair 95 an interesting find. Additionally, the subject of our AutoHunter Spotlight has received the surf treatment with several water-themed and Hawaiian accoutrements. Tooling around in this will put eyes on you like a million-dollar Ferrari, but this Chevy is available for much, much less. Why not bid and wait for the good news that this van is headed for your garage? Hurry as it ends on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at 11:15 a.m. (MST).
