It Was Suppose to be a Parts Van

Post by Phil Dally »

In support of Hulkster...have more on that one later.

1961 Greenbrier Standard in 527 Tampico Turquoise.

A little spray lube got all doors and windows working.

Vairy little rust and it should put back to road worthy.

Need 80 hp P/G W stamped engine and transmission.

Basically free by barter...my wife named it Greenie.

Yes it is a stock roof rack...not for sale!!!

Missing the rails and chrome is shot anyway.

Looks like it has great potential to be a family workhorse. Myself, I wouldn't too worked up about finding a "correct" engine as long as it was in good condition. JMHO :tongue:

Correct F/C dipstick is a mandatory requirement for me.

It also appears to have originally been a stick shift vehicle.

So we all know full disclosure...this would be project #437+

Was this van one of the vehicles that came out of that multi car/parts sale around the Santa Barbara area a few years back?

This van came from the Galli Family Horde...Paolo is downsizing.

I do have two from Santa Barbara...63 Corvan & 65 Turbo Corsa.

Corsa is strictly a parts car and I still need to post about Hulkster.
