1965 was the first year for the second generation of the Chevrolet
Corvair, and featured many updates and improvements over the first
generation car. The biggest change was to the Corvair's suspension,
eliminating the issues that arose from the earlier swing arm
design. This in combination with bigger brakes, softer spring rates
up front, and the addition of more power makes the second
generation Corvair a very desirable car. This particular Corvair is
a "Monza" model with the up level 110hp, 2.7L air cooled flat six
cylinder engine. That engine is mated with a 4-speed manual
transmission that makes this Corvair a lot of fun to drive. The
exterior of this Corvair is painted Regal Red with a newer bright
white vinyl convertible top with vinyl rear window. This
combination is very head turning, and is accented nicely by the
chrome "spinner" wire wheel covers and thin white wall tires.
Inside are dark red vinyl bucket seats that tilt far forward to
give excellent access to the spacious rear bench. This is a pretty
well equipped car for its day also, with the "Monza" package,
deluxe chrome wheel well trim and rocker moldings, dealer installed
air conditioning, factory seat belts, Delco AM radio, factory tach,
warning lights for voltage, fan, temp, oil pressure, and two tone
dash and steering wheel. This is a very unique chapter in American
automotive history, and is sure to grow in popularity as the years
slip by. If you would like to have some fun in the sun with one of
