Vehicle Description
This 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder convertible is a great
driver's classic. It brings together the lightweight style, updated
suspension, four-on-the-floor, and desirable turbo motor in a fun
drop-top package.
These Corvairs have a cool sense of style. There's a sheet metal
crease encircling the car, the bumpers hug the form, and the quad
tail lights look inspired by its Corvette sibling. The Goldwood
Yellow paint is not only the factory-correct color, but it also
shows the right signs of being the factory application. While it's
not perfect nearly 60 years later, it still has a bright look and
good gloss that gets this convertible noticed. What also makes this
nice is the way the black convertible top and black wheels provide
a tastefully coordinated contrast.
You get this same attractive color combo with the roof down thanks
to the full black interior. This has a clean and dark style that's
quite inviting. There are nice classic details like the working
under-dash lights and the color-matched convertible boot. And there
are also some nice upgrades for modern driving, like AM/FM/CD
stereo with USB input to plug in your phone. Best of all it's a
true driver's classic with front bucket seats, full gauges with
tach, and a Hurst floor shifter.
1964 is an important model year for two reasons. First, it was the
debut of the larger 164 cubic-inch flat-six motor. And this one has
the ultra-desirable turbocharged version that produced the most
power that year. Second, a new Corvette-style transverse leaf
spring was added for more manageable handling. It all makes for an
American car with a European level of power and handling. So while
the base Corvair was made to be an economy car, this range-topping
model lives up to the euro-like Monza Spyder monikers. In fact, the
control of the four-speed, fully independent suspension, and modern
tires make this one of the most fun classic Chevys to drive.
Complete with service manuals, this is one of the most desirable
Corvair setups around. After all, a strong-running drop-top with a
cool color combo and nimble handling is an irresistible total
package...especially at this affordable price. Call today!!!
