cubic feet of cargo volume, 1,795-pound payload Against its
competition from Ford?s Econoline, Chevrolet?s Corvair 95 Panel Van
stood out for its engine type and location. Made in General Motors?
St. Louis, Missouri factory (VIN code S), this van is finished in
aqua with white trim, which are in overall excellent order. This
California van has a body that is straight, its chrome bumpers fit
tightly to the body, its engine bay is very tidy and the custom
panel cargo area inside is in very good order. This van rolls on
Hankook Optimo 724 radials, size 205/75R14 at every corner. Each
tire is mounted on a new American Racing Torque Thrust five-spoke
wheel. The wheels and tires are all in very good shape. This van
rides a 95-inch wheelbase and a 4600 GVWR. Out back, beneath the
cargo cover is a 145 CID air-cooled, flat six-cylinder engine. The
motor is backed by a Powerglide, two-speed automatic transmission
and 3.89:1 final drive. The Corvair?s rear-engine facilitated
several design objectives, such as helping to balance fore-aft
weight distribution and assure excellent rear wheel traction. With
removable panels over the engine and transmission/transaxle, the
powertrain could be fully accessed from above and below. Inside,
the van comes with a custom panel interior. The bench seat is in
good order with mats on the floor. The headliner is in very good
shape, as is the two-spoke steering wheel. The aqua metal dash
looks great while the inner door liners are in good, original
order. A dash-mounted shift lever, and underdash mounted JVC AM/FM
stereo with CD player and a General Electric Citizens? Band radio
complete the interior but the fuel gauge, speedometer and horn are
inoperable. In the vans, the lowered mid-section allowed easy
access for passengers and loading of cargo, with intermediate doors
on both left and right sides in some models. With no engine to
squeeze between the seats, the cab was exceptionally roomy and
afforded comfortable driving; and with no obstructing longitudinal
driveshaft, the rigid chassis could be located only 16 inches above
ground. Competition to this Corvan in 1962 included Ford?s
Econoline Van and Volkswagen?s Bus. If you?re looking for a great
vehicle to advertise a small business or if you collect the various
varieties of Corvair, you should stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars
