This 1964 Corvair 95 Van was the inspiration for this post back in 2015, 10 years ago Today;

NEW Gas Tank and Dual Master Cylinder, wheel cylinders, brakes, hoses and brake lines.
Bill had moved from where this install was done and then the Van sat garaged. It Never had gas or brake fluid put into it since the tank install.
In 2016 Bill pulled the motor, and trans to reseal it and refresh the shrouding as mice made a home in the engine and heater box. Then it sat garaged again.
Two weeks ago we started work on it.
First thing we did was clean up the mouse nest on the engine over #6 cylinder and remove the heater box and REPLACED IT with one from the Corvair Ranch. All shrouds were painted.
Roger Parent accelerator linkage was installed.
New diff yolk axle seals and new U-Joints installed. Engine has been installed and is now running and the brakes are working. Bill writes;
The dog legs have NO rust. The body on this Van is Very straight and only has a rust hole on the left rear panel near the battery as seen in one of the pictures below.After college I started to do a driver restoration and upgrades in the late 80's early 90's. All the old paint was stripped off down to bare metal prior to painting. The engine (original VB block) was pulled and rebuilt with new forged pistons (+0.030?), new cam, main and rod bearings and crank, rods, pistons, flywheel pressure plate were sent out for balancing as well. This was by far the smoothest running Corvair engine I'd ever seen short of a race motor.
OH Yeah. It has a NEW Battery in it!
Check out the pictures and if interested I can give you Bill's contact info.
He is moving again and has no room for it. WELL Worth the price. Spyder dash installed and he does have the glove box door also.
Must Go price is $5900.00
