For Sale: 1962 Chevrolet Corvair in Savannah, Georgia

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible. Finished in red over red with a black convertible top, this is a nicely restored example believed to have had only three owners since new. Restored in the early 1990s, garage kept and driven sparingly since (this car still feels very fresh - we did a double-take when reviewing the records and photos when we learned it was restored 30 years ago). Show-quality paint and body with excellent chrome, trim, lenses and glass. Interior likewise was retrimmed with correct materials and is showing virtually no wear. The steering wheel and dash pad are original and show light patina (a new-in-box dash pad is included with the sale).

Power comes from a 2.4 liter air-cooled flat six mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The engine was fully rebuilt with the car was restored; it starts easily and this Corvair runs and drives very well (indeed, we drove it on I-95 from its home in an airport hangar about 45 minutes southeast of Savannah, plus another 20 miles or so around town for its photos and video, and it has performed flawlessly for us).

Sold new in Missouri where it remained under single-family ownership until a sale after its restoration to a buyer in Virginia in 1994. The third and present Georgia owner acquired the car three years ago. In this Internet-driven era it's charming to see stacks of handwritten orders and dot-matrix printed invoices from Clark's Corvair. Included with the sale are boxes of original parts, spares, an original jack, and a new dash pad, plus original sales literature, owner's books, an assembly manual, a photo album documenting the restoration, and lots of records.

Rarely have we seen a Corvair so nicely done and so well sorted. For more information about this 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 4-speed convertible for sale at Motorcar Studio in Savannah, please call 912-235-0435.
