Vehicle Description
Now available in our Philadelphia showroom is this 1966 Chevrolet
Corvair-Monza. The 1966 lineup remained essentially unchanged from
1965. The steering column was changed to a two-piece design with
universal joint, lessening the danger of intrusion during a
front-end collision (a mid-1965 running change). A plastic air dam
was installed below the front valence panel to conceal the front
suspension and underbody and lessen crosswind sensitivity. In
front, the "lock door" emblem (covering the lockset for the trunk
lock) was changed from red to blue and featured a shorter bar.
Air-conditioned cars received a new condenser that was mounted in
front of the engine, eliminating previous efficient but huge,
awkward condenser that was mounted atop the engine, requiring its
removal out of the way for most under the hood servicing. This 1966
Corvair- Convertible was sent to the President of the
Delaware-Corvair Club, who took the time to go over the entire
vehicle, spending over 85 plus labor hours on this vehicle. The
following work was completed during this time: Converted to Dual
master cylinder, New front brake lines, New brake cylinder and
hoses (both front and back), Pitman arms- bushings- & idler arm,
Carburetor rebuilt, Replaced Alternator, New engine wiring harness,
New tailpipes, New fan belt, New turn signal lever, New rear motor
mount, New carpet in the trunk, New Antenna, New windshield wipers,
New convertible "top boot" foam pads, New oil-pan and gaskets, New
throttle valve/O-ring, New rear brake cable, New axle seals, New
battery, New door seals plates, This Corvair has also been
converted to an electric fuel-pump & Crane electric ignition. - As
you can tell, a lot of love has been invested into this vehicle.
The heart of this vehicle is a 6-cyclinder, which produces a 110 HP
to the wheels and is connected to a 2-speed transmission. The
powertrain has been converted to a 1965 powertrain. The solid white
vinyl interior is in pretty good shape throughout, with only minor
blemishes on the back-driver's side. The convertible top is in good
condition too, so you'll look very sharp, top up or down. All this
sits on a sweet set of wired wheels & white wall tires, with a
Chevy emblem on the "knock-off" portion. This Corvair is going to
be cruising around some town and enjoyed by a new owner very
soon.... Will this be you? To view this 1966 Chevrolet Corvair
