Vehicle Description
The Corvair is really finding their popularity today as we respect
how GM gave us a European-like machine in a true American package.
And this 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza has been restored to uphold
that legacy quite well. It gives you a sporty style and cool color
combo like an import, but it also has some terrific upgrades -
including A/C and a Bluetooth radio - to make it a great cruiser
for the wide-open highway.
This is the debut year of the second generation Corvair. They were
more aggressive with a front that has a sharper point and a more
intimidating overhang. The rear has a quad taillight package that
looks like what the Plymouth 'Cuda would copy a few years later. So
when it has this kind of sporty style, it seems only fitting to be
born an Ermine White car... after all, that was also the color of
the first Corvettes. But we also talk about a European level of
style. That comes from the level of investment to make sure the
paint looks great and has a sophisticated luster. And the
coordinating white convertible top has a clean and coordinating
style that's more Bentley than Chevy. Bright chrome bumper, Chevy
bow tie wire wheel covers, beautiful headlight bezels, and all the
correct trim (inducing the important Monza fender badges) make for
quite an attractive classic.
The white convertible top is exceptionally attractive, but a black
interior is as timelessly chic as formalwear. So it's great you can
choose between the two styles by just folding up/down the roof. The
door panels, carpet, seats, and dash pad have the deep and dark
look of a quality investment. This has plenty of great classic
details, like the thin/grippy steering wheel, round gauge package,
and automatic transmission shift lever mounted on the dash. But
what is most impressive are all the well-paced upgrades. For
example, this Monza has bucket seats and this one now has an added
cup holder center console. There are more worthwhile upgrades, like
auxiliary readouts w/tach, brighter courtesy lights, and an AM/FM
radio with Bluetooth for the best in modern driving music. And
there's always a premium appeal to a convertible with cold-blowing
R12a air conditioning (the new compressor is R12 or R134a
compatible, but currently running off of R12).
The 164 cubic-inch flat-six is mounted in the rear. There is a
clean look of quality here, and this includes new seals, gaskets,
and an alternator within the last few years. And the dual
carburetors were also rebuilt. The motor has a low center of
gravity, and it's smartly packaged over the rear driving wheels. So
while these Corvairs had some of the same muscle car appearance as
other Chevys were getting in the 1960s, this one has the size,
engineering, and nimbleness of cars like Porsches and Fiats. Plus,
these later Corvairs had the Corvette-inspired fully independent
rear suspension, larger brakes, and a front stabilizer bar. And the
new modern cruising tires make for an all-around attractive driving
package.
Complete with maintenance records, this Corvair impresses you with
its classic style and great upgrades. And when the price is so
affordable, you know you're going to need to hurry on this
drop-top. Call today!!!
