1965 Corvair Monza

1965 Chevrolet Corvair Description:

Up for sale is my 1965 Corvair Monza Sedan. 110 hp, automatic. Car is in need of a lot of work. Motor, although is mostly new, seized up due to a loose rod nut while running. While the pistons, rings, bearings and crank are basically new, I do not know what kind of damage went on when this thing seized up. I have over $4000 into this car and it now may need a new motor. Car needs a lot of interior work and lots of attention on the body. The body has bondo but no major rust. It could be driven as is but the paint is completely oxidized. Floor boards are a bit crusty. I was planning on doing a full restoration on this, but after this issue with the motor, I have lost interest in the project. My (huge) loss, may be your gain. Lots of other work done on this - both carbs rebuilt; new fuel lines, new distributor, new coil, rebuilt starter, rebuilt alternator, new keys for door and ignition (when I got the car it had no keys), new Clarks custom dual exhaust, brakes have been bled and adjusted, new rear shocks, the short time I had it running, it went down the road nicely, doesnt pull or anything. Full wheel alignment done. Probably the best scenario would be to locate another motor that runs and just swap it into the car. I was thinking about doing this but I cannot justify another dollar spent on this vehicle. I have a son in college and I cant throw any more money into this project. I have a huge pile of new and used parts that go with this car (new gas tank, additional valve covers, some seals, some trim, weatherstripping, etc.). Car is in Central NJ. (note the rally rims in the front pic do NOT go with the car. On the car are the standard 13" wheels w hubcaps as shown in the other pics.)
