For Sale: 1966 Chevrolet Corvair in Concord, North Carolina

STK 3996 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Monza

The 1966 Corvair was part of the second generation of the compact Chevrolet model. It was produced from 1965 to 1969 and represents a unique chapter in Chevy's history. This handsome 3-owner '66 Corvair Monza coupe has been the beneficiary of a careful restoration. The 2-stage professional respray of Medium Blue Metallic finish is in very good condition. Chrome and stainless are excellent and period correct 14" Kelsey-Hayes rally-style wheels with trim rings/centers mount new Uniroyal Tigerpaw radial tires. The interior is in overall outstanding condition. Re-upholstered black vinyl seating shows virtually no wear and door cards, carpeting, headliner and dash pad all show well. The Monza is equipped with bucket seats, driver/passenger seat belts and an AM/FM sound system. A tachometer is part of the factory gauge package and an Owner's Manual is in the glove box. (The current owner has also provided a booklet on maintenance data on the car that dates back to the early '90s.)

Horsepower is furnished by an air-cooled 164ci flat-six that is said to have originally been the optional Corsa 140hp motor equipped with four carburetors. When the engine was rebuilt, it was converted to a slightly detuned version that utilizes dual-carb heads from a 110hp engine. New pistons were installed and the 140hp camshaft grind and dual exhaust were retained for performance. Two single-barrel Rochester carbs replaced the original quad setup and an electric fuel pump system was installed. It is backed by a 4-speed all-synchro manual transaxle - this entire drivetrain performs very well. The chassis is equipped with manual steering and manual drum brakes with a dual master cylinder conversion. The Corvair has a loyal following among car enthusiasts and this appealing Monza is a classic model. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
