- Do we have a strange vehicle for you today. Did you know that Chevy made an air cooled van? This is a 63 Corvair 95 Greenbrier 4 SPEED SICK SHIFT van. It has been parked for 37 years, has 2 carburetors from the factory, and we are going to try to get it running and driving again as a family.

Wawa hangs on every single word you say ❤you can tell how much she respects and loves you. You’re her hero!
She is daddy’s girl
Well, she is a third responder after all 😂
the kids are amazing. so talented. music and art. plus a love for animals and nature. a good work ethic. parenting done right.
@@robertasmith7780 It's an undeniable fact that there's always that one person in the comments who tries to act smart, but ends up failing miserably. And now, we find ourselves in the midst of such an instance.
@@Sleeperdudeyour kids are going to do well in life,you have great parenting skills
You should let Squeezy Paint it like the Mystery Machine with the family’s help of course.
It would make a Good video!
Maybe so if she wants to
Would be a great candidate for that paint scheme, and if Squeezy was to do it ; let her lead!! With however she wants to paint it. You do the prep of course Josh. A Tennessee farm scene with horses in pasture,flowers in bloom,fields freshly plowed inda background,& Granny with her tongue out standing onda bottom rail of the fence😂😂😂
@@Sleeperdude
Sqeezy is a hippie kiddo in 2024. I find that refreshing. Great Dad and the family fun seems never ending. My question is do you edit disagreement out?
I would love to see Squeeze paint one her way
What a great empty canvas for her!@@Sleeperdude
Matt, from Matt's off road recovery has half a dozen Corvairs, and storage container full of parts. Reach out to him if you have questions.
LOL! I was just about to post this exact comment. 🤣
Yep, Matt is the man if you want Corvair parts or advice.
You guys read my mind! Yeah, hit him up for sure and if he's busy ask Rudy 😅
Josh, i could tell you a long story about 10 of us driving a corvair van accross the country in 1974, when i was 17. It floated awhile in the mississipi river, then sank. The great folks in Louisanna, Missorui hooked it out, we got it running again, with their great help, and motored on. Thanks for the memories, my friend. You folks are SUCH a blessing! Love ya'll!!!!!
That’s an amazing story
Wow
That trip could be movie
My dad had 5 corvairs when I was a kid. Check the valve clearances. Valve guides. If not set right, they will self destruct by throwing rods out the top of the engine. Make sure the distributor bushing is getting well lubricated as well.
Little bit Beverly hillbilly
That looks like a corvair motor in the back Matt from Matt's off-road recovery will have every part you need for that motor
Ok thanks
Swap in a 63 to 65 Spyder turbo motor and gauge cluster
@Sleeperdude Matt is an expert when it comes to these Corvairs. He has several large shipping containers full of parts! I'm sure he would be able to answer any questions you may have. I'm looking forward to seeing this build!! Thank you for having such awesome family-friendly content!! You & Tosh have done an excellent job raising your kids. They're all very talented!! Thanks again!! Hope you have a Happy Easter!!
The Morrvair is a beast.
I like the Lakewood wagon and Matt turned it into a nice offroader
FYI, the sound of the rain really isn't bad at all! I didn't even notice it until you brought it up.
Ok thank you
Yeah it's barely noticeable Josh. No worries!
Love Wawa's shirt!! Country girls don't retreat, they just reload! It's a cool van, you still see them out there for sale, but they are getting rare and most of them are junked out. Love the fact you are still saving these things.
Thank you
Daddy-o on the clutch, shifter, and string throttle...Squeezy steering...Ralphie monitoring the belt, the battery, the fuel tank position, and providing starter button service...and Wawa ready with the killswitch. Nobody on the brakes because there ain't no brakes! Everybody has a job to do but nobody can see to do it because of the smoke! PERFECT! Couldn't have been more entertaining and it'll be quite a project to have roadworthy-ish but completely worth all the hassle to get there.
I bought a 65 Corvair van in 1970 for $200. It burned a quart of oil in every 35 miles. My brother and I rebuilt the engine. I drove that van for five years for work. I am watching and it sure brings back memories.😂❤
How far did you get on a quart after the rebuild?
Squeezes face says it all "you talking to me?" What a gas...you guys love each other. Reminds me of my Dad's Opel!
Can't wait to see this on the road !! Good job guys and gals
The "Test Drive" was literally one of the funniest things i've ever seen. Every single door once opened and closed 😀 You guys lightened my today's bad mood up. 🙂
I just wanted to say thank you to Squeezy for the painting. I pray everything arrived, more to come.
God bless you and your family.
Thank you
34:10 the rain absolutely not disturbing anything. it's rather soothing and romantic in a way, like being in nature, in a tent or log cabin. stop worrying. 😉
The look of disappointment in the squeeze's face is precious. She can't hide her emotions. Great videos, y'all
👍🤣🤣🤣she’s a mess
Wears her heart on her sleeve.
❤❤❤@@iamgrowler
Squeeze. 🎉
I have an artist daughter myself. She's so smart. 🥲 always making drawings, clay figures, making hats, sewing, dancing, painting, acting. I can say artists are amazing 😊
Cars just aren't her thing and yep she doesn't hide it, she's more artistically minded obviously.
4:55 Squeezie’s reaction is awesome. Love the honesty of that kid.
She’s a mess 🤣
@@Sleeperdudeher facial expressions in the van were great
underwhelmed!
I saw that, too. Bless'er, Jesus...poor lil' hun.
I'm the oldest of three kids. I have two younger sisters. Wawa, Ralphie, and Squeezie remind me of the three of us. My one sister and I were into cars and motorcycles, my youngest sister, had no interest at all.
Get ahold of Matt and Matt off-road recoveries. He put those engine's in his buggies. He knows everything about them ❤
Clark's Corvair Parts will have must parts you may need. Another tip, never use a plastic fuel filter in the engine bay, too hot, they melt. Love your channel and family!
Awesome thanks
We don’t care about the sound of rain.
I like it. Ads ambiance!
Sleeper Dude fam,

Almost 😅
When that million come on❤
Corvair engines are notorious for lifter noise when they have been sitting for a while. Just let it idle for a while...a good long while! It will get quieter and quieter until it is one of the quietes six cylinders you have ever heard. (unless the exhaust is bad).
I have owned a 63, 64 & 65 convertible but never a van or truck.
My Father bought a 1961Silver and White Greenbrier. He called his Greyhound puppy. It leaked oil like a sieve. The heater worked off a Bellows that opened the passage in the tins under the Push Rod tubes and let it into the Cabin it did not use gasoline but warm air from the tins surrounding the engine. A couple of tricks you can lower the front end by replacing the shocks with a pair of 1957 Chevrolet Sedan front shocks. I you replace the push rod tubes with to seal without leaking use Viton replacement O rings. Just soak them for 24 hours before installation. I rebuilt the engine in 1972 I had the lower end balanced. It didnt leak drop of oil. It ran like atop until it dropped a valve seat despite having a complete vale job by a "Corvair" expert Mechanic. One sneaky failure mode is the harmonic balancer was 2 pieces of stamped press fit steel and as it aged and under hard acceleration going over a mountain it split apart and sliced open the oil filter. So two different methods for repair are weld the two pieces together or buy a billet degreed timing wheel. Enjoy!
Awesome thank you
Really impressive the way you get these old cars & trucks running again. So cool to watch.
Thank you
I love how this has become a family past time to work on projects together most kids could careless and want to do they're own thing and to see wawa get in there and enjoy it Im proud of her shes paving the way for todays generation of girls keep it up wawa
Yes, and on top of that she plays classical piano😮
Josh, the Crankcase Blow-by tube is clogged. Just clean it out and she'll be fine. The very first time I was paid to do any mechanical work was on my aunt's 63 Corvair Monza Coupe and I removed the Blow-by tube so to relieve the crankcase pressure and lower oil consumption. Enjoy.
The change of expression on Squeezes face between when she first saw it and the test drive was amazing. The test drive has to be one of the funniest things I've seen on the channel so far.
Love to y'all keep the great content coming.
Reminded me of a Laurel & Hardy movie, can't find the gears, doors flying open, using string to work it which breaks, and all the smoke too. And Squeezie sitting there thinking, "Why don't you do something to help me?"
Its that 5 gallons of Marvel Mystery Oil Ralphie put in her! lol
I think it was
Squeezle is a hoot! I like her personality.
She’s funny
yes i will love to see you work on the MG
Yeah we need to
Squeezy’s reaction was priceless… I am with you, baby girl❤😂😂😂😂🙃
Been waiting to see this. I saw a video of the guy dropping it off
My Dad worked at Dallas Power & Light in 1963 and they used those vans like you workin on. They had to pull a small trailer to carry all the tools and equipment to do the jobs they was doing. Hope y’all get it running✌🏻
Very cool
That test drive had me laughing out loud. Several minutes of chaos. No brakes, only a couple gears, smoke screen, string throttle and squeezy driving.... backwards 😂
I had a hand in restoring a '61 Rampside for my boss thirty-four years ago. He found it sitting in a dusty Wyoming field, along with a '62 Greenbrier. Both had to be hauled on a trailer back to Michigan. I got the Rampside's engine running with minimal tinkering, and it had been sitting for years. Body was straightened out and painted the same color as your sample picture.
I drove that pick-up around alot after it was done. It was a 3-speed. And it did have the line coming from the gas tank up to the cab for the heater.
The van was used for parts and we never got it running.
I had one of those dealer albums for 1959 Chevrolets. I bought it from Hemmings 1980. '59 Chevies used to be my favorite because that was the year I was born.
Best part of every Saturday is a sleeper dude video, Happy Easter 🐰 everyone
Happy Easter
Thank you
I wish they could do twice a week. I know uploading and editing videos to TH-cam is quite challenging. I don't bother much with uploading content to TH-cam. TH-cam's uploading system appears to be falling behind the times and becoming outdated. On the other hand, Facebook's uploading system is much simpler and more user-friendly. Although I'm not a big fan of Facebook, I must admit that they have nailed it when it comes to uploading content."
If you need help finding parts or fixing the corvair. Check with Matt with Matt's off-road recovery. He collects them . I'm sure he would put you on the right track.
I had a Greenbrier in high school! Fun vehicle. One thing you gotta watch for on the air cooled cars is trash blocking the cooling fins on the cylinders. Grass, mouse nests, etc. That motor was acting like it was overheating, and that would be a likely cause. Driving while overheating by the previous owner may be the reason for all the oil burning too, the rings are scarred up. Worth rebuilding- parts are plentiful, and you may be able to get away with just swapping out the jugs / pistons.
I know nothing bout these Corvairs, so it was really cool to see you work on one. I've had a bunch of vw busses and they are very similar, i've even driven home with a piece of string over my shoulder, after the accelerator cable snapped! Thanks Sleeperdude family!!
I’m glad you liked it
Rings are stuck. Run it until they come loose. Or fill the cylinders with penetrating oil, and let it sit. Motor sounds pretty good. If you had serious problems, you'd have at least one dead cylinder. Worst comes to worst, you can buy new jugs and heads, but it doesn't sound like you need them. Comes apart like a VW motor. Good luck!
You are probably right about the rings being stuck, but how does it have enough compression to move it along?
I think just the oil control rings are stuck. The compression rings are fine. Could also just be obliterated valve stem seals. @@mexicanspec
@@mexicanspec They are stuck at the exact diameter of the cylinder when it was parked. Any variation in the inside diameter, as the piston moves in and out, results in oil getting past the rings. Most of the time, there's enough compression in each one to run, but it doesn't stay the same throughout the piston's travel.
You might try Matt's off road recovery in Utah for parts .he has a really cool corvair wagon 4x4 and a van ! He's a good guy. Watch his videos there, great, just like yours!
I checked with Google and it says Corvairs have tubes with seals on both ends that the pushrods run in. They're bad to fail and it will burn a lot of oil. The good news; a kit with all of those seals is like $15. Engine doesn't even have to come out.
Squeezy not real excited about the van. Lol lol. Cracks me up.
She’s a mess
The test drive had me laughing so hard. Can't get it in gear, string connected to the motor, smoke. doors flying open a little bit of everything. Good to see a family having fun together.
🤣🤣🤣
FUNNIEST ONE EVER, Squeeze's face said so much, from happy to "I can't beleive I'm in this circus"
I was recommended the other day by TH-cam about the gentleman who brought you the van. It's fascinating how TH-cam's algorithm picked up on his story about Sleeperdude and recommended it to me. I'm confident that you made the right decision in acquiring this old van. Thanks to Josh Tosh and family, an old van will be given a new lease on life. Thanks to car enthusiasts like you, we can keep our automotive history alive by restoring these classic vehicles.
I saw it also. Great that he was so respectful of their house and family.
Yea, too bad Obummer had that cash for clunkers program that destroyed a lot of old cars that could have potentially been saved. It hit us hard in the south. 😮
The 95 badge was introduced with the 95 horsepower update. Back in the day, we had a Greenbrier-badged 80hp. My uncle liked it and bought a new 95-badged Greenbrier in 63, with the 95hp upgrade. Ours melted its first cylinder barrel in Whitefish, Montana on the way from Massachusetts to Lake Louise (we never made it because the engine was being rebuilt.) A couple of years later, on the way to Mexico, the Powerglide lost reverse and it was traded for a used '64 Biscayne in Tennessee which finished the trip without incident.
That's a cool old van. Love the fact that it's a 4 speed.
Fascinating, corvairs got a bad rap , undeserving, gm corrected the famous swing arm and its great to see a green briar be brought back .
As an amateur radio operator I can tell you that "telegraph thing" Is a Morse Code Straight Key made by MFJ It's not old. They are from the last decade-ish. It's used to send Morse Code over amateur radio frequencies. I have a couple of them. ALSO The rain sounds cool. It makes this van a rainy day project!!!
That's a Squeezie vehicle! Paint it pink with white daisies, and she will be fabulous!
Yeah maybe
Love that you got the van running.
Of course , I knew you could do it .
Yes! Thank you!
❤🐖❤🐕❤️🐈⬛❤️🐐❤ Thank you for loving and taking great care of all your Fur Babies ❤❤
You should had pranked your kids by wrapping a pull rope from a lawn mower around the pulley, Tell them it's a pull start . 😅😅😅😅
That’s funny
First rate gag. But how many kids of a certain age, even KNOW what a pull rope to a lawn mower is?
😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
VW bugs did have a rope start option!! www.google.com/search?q=pull+start+vw+beetle&oq=vw+pull+start&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCAgCEAAYFhgeMgYIABBFGDkyCAgBEAAYFhgeMggIAhAAGBYYHjIKCAMQABgPGBYYHjIKCAQQABgPGBYYHjINCAUQABiGAxiABBiKBTINCAYQABiGAxiABBiKBTINCAcQABiGAxiABBiKBTINCAgQABiGAxiABBiKBdIBCTEzNzAyajBqNKgCAbACAQ&client=ms-android-motorola-rvo3&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#vhid=qUhni7CuWz8kUM&vssid=l
@@dans_Learning_Curve Well I kind of got the idea from knowing that plus seeing the cooling fan pulley on top. My uncle and my grandpa were big in these bugs. My grandfather bought a flooring companies bugs they were using to advertise with they had covered these bugs with the little squares of carpet. He bought these back in the 80s I helped him take all the squares off of these cars.
That telegraph key would make a pretty cool starter button for something.
Yeah for sure
That’s what they used before cell phones 😂😂😂
Great show. Good to see her runnin and trying to drive. You guys are a hoot. Thanks.
Now that’s a true family car. It literally takes the whole family to operate it. 😂
That’s right
Scoooby Dooooo!!
Please paint it up like the Mystery Machine 😂
That would be cool
I believe the Mystery Machine was a Dodge.
In 1962 My Father got a NEW GreenBriar, van, 80 thundering horses, 3 speed,,, and AM Radio,,, it was beat to death for the next 5 years till my Brother put a 110 horse engine in it, was a lot of fun ..
That’s funny
Well, you know what you have to do now: rig the telegraph key as your horn button. :)
You and the Family need to build y'all a sand rail,We built one and had so much fun on it!!
That would be cool!
You're taking me back to great times again Josh.
Age 17 I was driving a 64 Ford Econoline van and my best friend, he had a 65 Corvair Greenbrier.
PS: We always had to finesse the gear shift to go into gears bc of the length of the shifter rods from the front all the way to the back.
Good therapy The Sleeperdude channel.
Thank you, God bless and Happy Easter 🐣
Johnny Boy
So cool glad you enjoyed it
@@Sleeperdude yt "Matts off road recovery" is a corvair enthusiast and has a stock pile of parts.
Love this family. Kids are learning to problem solve, using their awesome brains and having fun doing it.
All comments aside I love watching your videos, such a great example of faith and family! My dad and I worked in the shop for decades and those are my fondest memories of him today. We restored his old 67 Corvair, i rebuilt that engine and when it was all done placed it on a dolly and started it out of the car. Sold that car after his death (estate took it) But it ran for years faithfully..
I love how you make working on projects a family affair. The knowledge and hands on experience your children are getting is invaluable. It doesn't just teach them how to work with their hands, it teaches the how to problem solve. Great parenting.
Squeezy’s face and head shaking (noooo!) is priceless 😂😂😂
Some drunk Chevy worker put the motor in the wrong end😂
🤣🤣
Must have been the same guy who built the VW Beetles.😂
“Why is it smoking so bad?”
Everyone forgets Ralphie dumping Mavel Mystery Oil in the cylinders.
LOL!
She probably has bad rings.
Purple Zip Tie: That's Factory!!
Absolutely
As soon as that van arrived, I said "Holy crap it's a Corvair!" I would have bought it too. I had a 1970 VW Bus and have always regretted selling it. That was the first vehicle where I learned to work on it myself.
17:15 omg! It’s a Morse Code key!!!! All you need is some wire, a beeper, and a 9V and you can make a code practice key. I used to have one as a kid.
My grandfather built it for me. He was a radio operator on planes in WW2. And later an engineer at Western Electric (aka Bell Telephone)
Very cool
The Morse key is a current day 'tool' for a Ham Radio license
@@harriettanthony7352 you don’t actually need code anymore for a license. I’ve been licensed since 2006 with no code required. The General & Extra code requirement was also dropped years ago. I just need to study for those tests lol.
Back in the late 80's I was running sideband in the Grey area above 27.405.and got enthralled in the hobby.
There came a time where I met an operator who was an extra class. I learned a lot from him, but the code was something I could not catch. I got to the point of being able to do the written portion of the test. I Aced the General class and got 2 wrong on the advanced. As for the code portion I was sitting there, in the test room, and was doing ok @ 8-10 wpm...but when they went up to the 13 wpm I was not there and whipped the pencil across the room. I couldn't make. so I lost out on my ticket.
I went on to get my Tech+ ticket, but because of the 'wall' I couldn't get voice privileges on the HF bands and that was what I reely wanted. I learned some electronics and protocols to be able to use those portions of the band.
Since I was only limited to 2 meter (with no equipment to sport that) I went back the 'grey band' above 27.405.(11 meters if I remember correctly), and had lots of contacts to chat with.
After a move to a new place I set up my equipment and found that there was a transformer in the area that gave off a boatload of QRM (9+ s units!) My ears were closed and I lost interest in the hobby.
Not more that I can say anymore, and all my friends that I chatted with are all silent keys now.
Its just sad that all I wanted was to chat on the HF bands but the 'old timers' back then were hell bent on doing 13+ wpm to get into the hobby.
I see now it has changed. but too late for me.
Gary... formerly N8NBF Central Michigan. 73's.
This video brought back memories..my throttle cable broke on my 67 VW. I had a friend with me and he squatted half way in and out of the engine and worked the carb..I would yell out the window so he would let off the throttle..we stopped at an old
dairy barn and got some seed grass string and ran it so when I was driving I could work the throttle..first I have thought about that in years..thanks for making this old feller smile....
Loved watching we love how you all work so good together and have so much fun so many giggles and laughs. Love all the Farm animals also.
I don't mind the rain at all. 90% of the time, I don't even hear it. Until you guys point it out.
Best part was when everything first went to hell on the test drive and father and son jumped out and ran to the back and Squeez just looks straight at the camera and gives a thumbs up.
That was funny
I think the smoking and the oil out the exhaust was the mystery oil that ralphie put in the cylinders an oiled all ur enternals rockers,springs, lifters, valves, etc, you guys are rockin an Rollin with these classic vehicles,, (will it start) is an understatement Josh u have magic hands,, take care be safe, S. Texas wavin a hand @ you, 👋👋
Yeah maybe
Been watching you for awhile and this is my favorite. I loved the test run on string and no brakes. Your kids are gonna have the greatest stories ever told.
I think u should ask squeeze to paint the sides of the new van with her art
Been waiting to see this. I saw a video of the guy dropping it off.
Same here
Yep he was really respectful when delivering, he didn't want to give Sleeperdude HQ location away
👍
I saw it as well. The guy was very nice in not giving out the location
Me too
When the belt comes off you'll notice allot of extra power!!
squeeze went from so dissapointed and unimpressed to having a blast
Poor Squeezy’s looking like, someone please tell me this is just a bad joke!!😅😂😂😂Poor baby!!!!
This van is really amazing. You could always ask Matt’s off road recovery about Corvair motors. He loves his corvair
It's ashame the engine smokes so bad but you made memories that your kids will be able to tell your grandchildren so that's all that matters loved the video
For sure thank you
You are a brave soul to tackle that pile. I worked at a Chevy dealer in the 70s and 80s and the very old mechanic that was qualified to work on those refused to work on any van of that model. He would tell the customer it would be better to set a match to it. His reasoning was when he finally discovered what was the problem the customer didn’t want to fix it $$$.He would yell across the shop A WASTE Of MY TIME!
Our family had the Greenbriar Deluxe Camper edition. It was our family car for Mom and Dad and 4 children.
We lived in Middletown, Rhode Island.
Brings back so many good memories seeing this.
Dad worked for the Telephone Company and we took one week vacations three times a year. We camped all over Maine, NH, Pennsylvania and more.
I think the Telegraph Key you found may have been used to study for a Ham Radio license. Back in the 60's-70's one had to be able to send and receive a certain number of words of Morse Code per minute to be able to get the Ham Radio License.
Awesome Video!
Thanks again!
Yes! Finally got the timing right, can see the video and still have time to sleep for work. The Blaire Witch project... a scarry movie from back in the day... now I feed old.
Awesome thanks
When you started the engine I could smell smoke all the way to North Carolina 😮
Such a cool van can't wait til yall get it running ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Yes!!
I bought a car sight unseen, and had them deliver it 2 hours. Convenient, and turned out good
Awesome
My dad had so many Corvairs. 5 boys in the family, all of us wrecked one. Wish I could have been there for this one.
Your kids are the best. You can tell that you are both great parents. If every family could be like yours this would be a lot better place we live in. You make me look forward to Saturdays so I can see what’s next. God Bless you all.
8:53 "Should I Bounce?" LOL!! I don't think Tosh quite gets the reason you'd bounce when a car gets stuck LOL. But very cute!! Also love Wah Wah's T-Shirt "Country Girls don't retreat, The just Reload!". So as they're looking through the book he mentions the "Monza" and he calls it "The Monza Spider" The Corvair version of the Monza Spider was Turbo (I think). There was also a Chevy in the 1970's and I think into early 1980's that was called "The Monza Spider" which actually had a Big Spider "Painted" (Decal I'm sure) on the hood just like the Trans Am Fire Chicken! Okay "Firebird" (which was supposed to be a Phoenix rising I believe). The Monza is still around in very limited numbers usually as a drag car or just a restored show piece or maybe a Hot Rod. Actually in the first four or five episodes of "Road Kill" they get a hold of a manual V8 Monza which they found would do epic burn outs and donuts then drove it for a bit and tried to add some leaf blower Turbo charging to it a few episode later. LOL. The Chevy Vega and Chevy Monza were basically the same car except not as close as say a GMC and a Chevy Half ton truck. They were distinct styling but very close in every other basic way." But
🤣thank you
Woohoo! Good luck Sleeperdude family I hope you get it running! Happy Easter! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
You're welcome
Matt's offroad recovery on YT knows all about Corvair!!! Talk with him if you wonder something.
Pardon my bad schoolenglish.... I'm from Sweden. Thanks for all wonderful vloggs.
Wawa for president!!!!
I've always loved the Corvair. My Dad had a few of them back in the late 60's when he was in high school and flipping cars. My Grandfather had a small used car lot on the farm they had. Dad told me he could buy those cars cheap, put a little work into them and he sold them with no problem. Looking at that green paint, I can't help to wonder if that was a fleet van for a utility company.
Pretty cool you shared that book your Dad had. My Dad owned a 1963 Chevy Impala SS 327 in 1969 during his senior year. His was dark blue with a light blue interior. Cool van, can't wait to see what you do with it as well as that Econoline. Now all you need to find, is a Dodge A100 .
Again, another excellent episode, I look forward to them
My dad had 2 corvans for work trucks. In the 1967 Chicagoland blizzard that van just walked thru the snow, no problem!
funny squeezee had the look like she thought it would be a Ferrari 🤣
I know right
They should let Squeezie paint it to make up for her disappointment.
Happy Easter to my Sleeperdude family from The Homewrencher family!
Paul, thank you for recommending Sleeperdude to me I have watched a couple videos now and you are right they are absolutely amazing people I love the family values and how they work together just like how you and your family are. When will you be doing another revival? I like watching you and your boys do the same thing.

Great video! That thing was careening out of the mist, it was so smokey! Really looking forward to your guy's trip and when you get the Fairmont running. That thing is going to sound awesome!
Thank you 😊
Josh, we had a Corvair car back in 1962. MY DAD CARRIED AN EXTRA BELT OR TWO AT ALL TIMES!! I remember many a time he would say, "well we lost another belt". We would pull over and he would put a new one on. (How funny, I posted this before it threw the belt) We lived in Upper Michigan so it was extra fun in the Winter time. It was so light weight that when we came over a hill one time in Winter, the wind caught it, and before you could say "Well bless your heart" we were upside down out in a field. What a ride. That was the end of the ole Corvair. Thanks for all the extra hard work makin vidjas and God Bless you and all the family. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

When I was a little kid my grandma's neighbor had a long-term parked Corvair pickup truck I remember it had a tailgate in the back and a tailgate on the passenger. These must be extremely rare cuz I can't remember ever seeing another one. Contrary to popular belief the windshield squirter air tank on a VW Beetle would not flatten the spare tire it had a check valve that would not work below a certain PSI
