1966 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Description:

Selling my Chevy Corvair Monza. I have owned this car since March this year, kept it garaged and only driven on weekends. I recently tuned the timing and gave the engine a once over; it’s in amazing shape. I am selling only because I recently latched on to an old Mercedes which I am restoring. So, with just a one-car garage, I have to let the Corvair go. The gentleman I bought this from owned it for about a year; he bought it from a collector of sorts, who refurbished the car to its excellent current condition. I don’t say restored, because the car has less than 60,000 miles and the engine did not need to be broken down, and the car had no rust to speak of.

  • Rebuilt carburetors with stainless steel carb linkage and high-flow air cleaners

The first owner performed an extensive bare metal and glass-out repaint in Delstar acrylic enamel followed by acrylic clear coat. Rust repair was limited to a patch at the base of the windshield which was replaced with a NOS panel. 14” Rallye wheels were painted to match and are accompanied by new beauty rings. A Camaro front lip spoiler was added. Glass was fitted with new weatherstripping. Mild modifications on the dash included a VDO tachometer, oil pressure and voltage gauges with an aftermarket stereo player. Topped with quad single-barrel carburetors, the air-cooled 164 ci flat-six is believed original and is paired with the factory 4-speed manual transmission. Records are limited, but the previous owner reportedly performed an extensive refresh to the engine about 7,000 miles ago that involved a light port and polish of the heads, three-angle value grind with staked valve seats and the installation of a bolted flywheel, new clutch with pressure plated and new seals and pilot bushings. New valve and oil pan gaskets were fitted at the same time. No cracks in the dash – it was re-dyed in a black crinkle finish. Seats had new foam installed in them and the upholstery is perfect. There is a removable center console with dual up holders. All instrument controls and functions work perfectly – turn signals, lights, gauges, wipers. The odometer is a Speedhut GPS multi-function speedometer installed at 53,806. The Speedhut odometer now reads approximately 5,200, which works out to a total mileage on the car of approximately 59,000.
