2001: A Corvair Odyssey
There were approximately 20 Corvair trucks in the People's Choice Car Display. Let's have a look at the 1964 Greenbrier owned by Dan Brizendine of Indianapolis, Indiana. |
Corvair parts interchangeability makes it possible to easily improve one model by borrowing parts from another. Dan's Greenbrier was treated to a number of upgrades. The standard instrument cluster had only a speedometer and gas gauge. To provide better engine monitoring, it was replaced by a Monza Spyder gauge set; tachometer, 120 mph speedometer, gas gauge, voltmeter and cylinder head temperature gauge. Dan added a Powerglide shift pattern index to the cluster, and replaced the stock steering wheel with a Corvette unit. |
Above, glossy paint, chrome plated bumpers and Cragar wheels make a handsome combination. The Greenbrier rides on BFGoodrich Radial Long Trail T/A tires. |
A 4-single barrel carburetor 140 hp engine is installed, fitted with modern ignition electronics and cruise control. The result is better-than-original power and drivability. |
