Vehicle Description
Care to get behind the wheel of a unique classic that will stand
out in any crowd while also offering the thrill of open air
motoring? You'll definitely want to check out this 1964 Chevrolet
Corvair Monza convertible. With its original, high-impact exterior
color intact and looking very sharp - and a level of road readiness
that makes it a blast to drive - this vintage Chevy is sure to
elevate your mood as soon as you climb inside and hit the
asphalt.
This Corvair's exterior is still clad in the same Ember red shade
it debuted with more than a half century ago, and in its present
day, refreshed state, it's a definite winner - offering a nice
shine and plenty of vitality. The black vinyl convertible top
sitting neatly under its tonneau cover was replaced not long ago,
so it hasn't seen enough use to create wear spots or pressure
points and it seals very nicely. There's plenty of mid-'60s style
on display here - up front, the twin dual headlights sit against
black surroundings that contrast nicely with the red of the
exterior and are visually tied together by a black stripe bearing
the Chevy bowtie in a triangle-shaped emblem. In back, the ridged
ventilation on the hood and venting below lets you know that this
is no ordinary classic cruiser you're viewing. Its revolutionary
design prompted Motor Trend to name it Car of the Year when it was
first introduced and it greets the present in good shape, complete
with clean chrome trim and bumpers and clear cabin glass.
The black interior has been refurbished while retaining a great
factory look. The pair of low backed buckets sport fresh vinyl
covers that mirror the pattern Chevy used when this car was new and
appear to be as lightly trafficked as they are well-fitted - this
upholstery job was really done well. Fresh black carpeting spans
the floor, punctuated with red-accented floormats that offer a nice
finishing detail. The dash area also has a stock look to it, while
a number of the components it carries appear to have been either
very skillfully restored or replaced altogether - the instrument
cluster features a crystal clear lens, all the control knobs have a
very fresh appearance and the dash pad running the width of the
cabin is still supple and shiny - a welcome sight with UV-sensitive
black upholstery. A retro-style AM/FM radio sits at the center,
also offering iPod connectivity to broaden your audio horizons. The
front trunk area is surprisingly spacious - even with a full size
spare sitting inside.
This unique classic holds plenty of curb appeal while at a
standstill and is sure to draw plenty of attention, but its level
of road readiness makes it a lot of fun to drive.
Mechanically-speaking, everything is very much in sync and
functioning as intended, starting with the 164 cubic inch
6-cylinder engine sitting at the center of its very clean, stock
looking rear engine compartment. Inside, every wire is neatly
routed and the surrounding inner fenders and firewall have a
scrubbed clean appearance. The engine teams with a 4-speed manual
transmission to provide a rewarding vintage driving experience -
this is very much a car you can enjoy just as soon as you get it
home. It's a definite head turner on its 13" stock wheels that are
outfitted with Milestar tires whose thin whitewall stripes further
add to the vintage vibe. The undercarriage appears reassuringly
solid.
If you're looking for a distinctive, sporty classic that can
deliver on the promise of open air driving fun right away, you
really need to see this 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza convertible.
