Up for sale My 1968 Corvair Monza convertible. Between 1962 and 1964 over 90,000 Corvair convertibles were Produced and between 1965 and 1967 over 50,000 were made. 1968 Production was slashed to under 1,400 Convertibles and less than 500 in 1969. There are not a lot of 1968 Corvairs left.  I started  restoring  this car about 3 years ago. The Paint is a  8, Chip Foose being a 10 and Earl Shieb a 2 It has been in many local Car shows and parades in the Southern California area. If you buy this car , you can be at a car show with it the next day and get good mileage driving it there. it was originally a 110 hp automatic and was upgraded to a 140hp 4speed car. I had a 1966 parts car I used to get what I needed for this car. The engine block from the 1968 was completely rebuilt and is original to the car. It had very little rust and was a very clean car to begin with. Any rust was removed and replaced with new metal. Very little bondo. The color is Chrysler cool Vanilla, The Interior was taken out of a 2009 Chevy Malibu Lt with the  leather option. The seats are both heated and 7way fully electric. The Console and shifter are from the same Malibu. A professional Upholstery shop Installed the interior including the dash , door panels,convertible top, New electric top motor and boot cover. Over 4000.00 in Upholstery alone. It has 16" American Racing wheels. Electronic ignition, Electric fuel pump New master cylinder, New shocks, front and rear disk brakes,Braided lines, new bushings, tie rods, new clutch, throw out bearing etc. I'm sure I did not list everything I replaced so ask me questions anytime.  This car is 44 plus years old so I want to be clear on whats been done and whats not. It has the original am radio with a fm box under the dash, which looks great and works okay . The convertible top to window seals have not been installed and is about 300 bucks, I have never needed them. The speedo does not work correctly, speed flutters a little and mileage is stuck at 70,000. I don"t think the mileage is more than 73,000. The heater and emergency brake were not  reconnected after the restoration due to exhaust (headers) and brake modifications(rear Disc brakes). I leave it parked in gear and have never had a problem. Having said that,  This car is awesome it drives like a modern car, stops on a dime, drives at 65+ on the freeway all day long , has plenty of power, Gets great mileage and handles extremely well, This car eats up twisty roads better thank most modern sports cars.  The interior shows extremely well. People approach me at gas stations Supermarkets and car shows wanting to look and talk about it. You will not see another Corvair like this any time soon.  Bidding starts at 8500.00 which is about a third of what I have into this. So please don't show up and low ball me if you win. If you want it You will be required to pay the amount you bid no less. Ask lots of questions , I will post them thanks
