Jughead
In March 2023, David Iwanicki, the newest owner of this Greenbrier, had the following to say about his very-recent purchase:
"I bought the van from Bill Slusher here in London, Kentucky, where I live. He had bought it from Greg Scarboro several years ago but had stepped away from Corvairs for awhile. He is now getting back into the hobby but decided to let this one go.
The engine is currently out of the vehicle and is presumed to be the one that Greg overhauled years ago because the block code indicates a '65 FC, 110 HP, with automatic transmission. I’m going to pull the rest of the power pack because it needs a good cleaning and likely servicing, and also because I’m told it’s a lot safer to reinstall everything as a unit. Currently there are 93,491 miles on the odometer.
I have named the Greenbrier Jughead to keep with the Archie theme of my other Corvairs: Betty ('62 4dr), Veronica ('64 coupe), and Archie ('66 140 coupe)."
David also shared a few photos:
In August 1999, Greg Scarboro had the following to say about this van:
"Since I went to the nationals in St. Louis I kind of was looking. I found this on net in Kansas City, MO. He wanted $650 and said the engine was out of it. He mailed me pictures and it looked good (rust in usual body areas).
I agreed to buy it and went out to get it and trailered it back in November. The engine was completely apart in two wheelbarrows & a few boxes. I've replaced everything and about got the engine back together.
It has all the mats (turquoise), even the one in back. All the door panels are in good shape (need to be cleaned) and the three seats."
Thanks to Greg for sending these photos. He enclosed a note with the photos that said:
"The engine is about done. As you can see, the interior is pretty decent.
I am looking for bumper guards, 14" wire wheel covers or FC wheel covers, and body pieces & rockers under the front doors.
I also want to know what correct seat belts looked like and if they are color-coded to match the upholstery on a deluxe FC or are they black? I'd also like to know whether the spare tire cover was black or color-coded. Finally, I'd like to have a picture of the correct dash, including the steering column w/ deluxe horn ring."
