"The Greenbrier was purchased for my wife for use in her
porcelain/ceramic business. Being an 8-door it made it easy for her to
load/unload at senior citizens' centers. We bought it in the fall of 1983 from
Dale Viewig in Soda Springs, Idaho. I believe he was the original owner and
purchased it new. It does not have the original motor in it (has a 110 car
motor).
It has never been restored and is original except for a few minor things that
Dale did to it for his flower business. He had a refrigerator unit in it to keep
the flowers cold. The only modification made was a 110 volt outlet on the inside
and a receptacle on the left rear below the taillight to plug it in.
We have been all over the west with it and have lived in Utah, Colorado,
Arizona, Texas, then back to Utah. It still looks pretty good but should be
restored since it is so rare and collectible. We understand that there were only
a few '65 8-doors made (approximately 180 or 190).
I have been retired for one year from the mainframe computer repair business
and also have a '65 Corsa convertible, two '61 Rampsides, and a '64 Monza
coupe."
I had not heard before a count of '65 8-door Greenbriers. I'm interested in
knowing the source for the count that Bruce mentioned.
