The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1962 Chevrolet Covair Monza
for sale. The 1960 Corvair 569 and 769 series four-door sedans were
conceived as thrift cars offering few amenities in order to keep
the price competitive. Powered by the Turbo Air 6 engine 80 hp (60
kW; 81 PS) and Three-speed manual or optional extra cost two-speed
Powerglide automatic transmission, the Corvair was designed to have
comparable acceleration to the six-cylinder full-size Chevrolet
Biscayne. The Corvair's unique design included the "Quadri-Flex"
independent suspension and "Unipack Power Team" of engine,
transmission and rear axle combined into a single unit. Similar to
designs of European cars such as Porsche, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz
and others, "Quadri-Flex" used coil springs at all four wheels with
independent rear suspension arms incorporated at the rear.
Following the success of the upmarket "Mr. and Mrs. Monza" styling
concept cars at the 1960 Chicago Auto Show, management approved the
neatly appointed bucket-seat DeLuxe trim of the 900 series Monza as
a two door club coupe only. This model began arriving at showroom
floors in April 1960. Despite their late January introduction of
the coupe, these cars sold very well; about 14,628 base model 527
coupes, 36,562 727 deluxe coupes and 11,926 927 Monza club coupes,
making the coupe one of the most popular Corvairs. The 62 Corvair
in our showroom has new carbs, new gas tank, and was keep in a
garage and driven on sunny days. The top is in good condition and
this vehicle has been owned by the same individual for the last 22
years. ! To view the car in greater detail, including 100+ HD
