SELLING A 1961 CHEVROLET CORVAIR MONZA 900. VIN # 109690124089. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY MADE IN CALIFORNIA AND STAYED THERE UNTIL 1982. IN 1982 THE CAR WAS TRANSPORTED TO OHIO WHERE IT WAS DRIVEN FOR 3 YEARS AND THEN TAKEN APART, FOR RESTORATION. ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT AND REGULARLY MAINTAINED. CAR HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD EVERYDAY SINCE 1984, BUT I DO DRIVE IT AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO NEAR BY CLOSE STORES. THE COLOR IS NOT ORIGINAL, BUT IS A REAL HEAD TURNER, EVERYONE LOVES THE SHADE AND THERE'S NEVER A LACK OF LADIES COMMENTING HOW PRETTY IT IS. THE ENGINE IS ORIGINAL, NUMBER ARE CLEAR AND EASY TO FIND, ENGINE # T02I3YN. THE 4 SPEED TRANS I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE TO NOT BE ORIGINAL. THOUGH I NEVER LOOKED FOR THE NUMBERS. THE CAR DOES RUNS AND MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER, GOES INTO ALL GEARS.NO SMOKING OR KNOCKING/TICKING NOISES.MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN WAS TOLD 55,000 ODOMETER SAYS 15,000 BRAKES FEEL AS THOUGH THEY COULD USE ADJUSTMENT. LIKE I SAID THE CAR THIS CAR HAS TONS OF NEW PARTS, A REMAN GENERATOR, BATTERY, PLUGS, WIRES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, IS A PERFECT TINKER TOY. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LOWER ENGINE SHROUDS YES THEY ARE BOTH THERE.THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR IS VERY ORIGINAL, ALL EXCEPT THE FLOOR CARPET, THAT WAS RECENTLY REPLACED WITH A FACTORY FIT PACKAGE. MY PERSONAL FEELINGS ARE THAT HAD I GOT THE SEATS RECOVERED IT WOULD KILL THE ORIGINAL FEEL THE CAR HAS. SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO GOT THAT ROUTE CLARKE'S CORVAIR HAS SEAT COVERS FOR $500, I SIMPLY DIDN'T WANT THEM. IT IS A FACTORY MONZA 900 CAR MEANING IT DOES HAVE THE 4 SPEED TRANS, TINTED GLASS AND AN UPGRADED INTERIOR. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS VERY CLEAN. OVERALL I FEEL THE PICTURES WILL DO THE TALKING FOR ME, IT DOES NEED SOME MINOR WORK BUT IS A GREAT CAR.I KNOW I WILL NEVER HAVE ONE THIS CLEAN AGAIN, THEY ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND AND I WONT GIVE THIS ONE AWAY. I HAVE COMPLETE PICTURES OF THE CAR THROUGHOUT THE RESTORATION PROCESS AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE BODY CONDITION BEFORE AND AFTER. FOR SALE LOCALLY, RESERVING THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY.0 feedback bidders please contact me and let me know you're serious. "This Corvair is unusual in that it has bucket seats with cloth inserts on the seating surfaces. This option was only available in 1961 Monza 4-door sedans for about the first half of the model year before discontinued by GM. Not only this, but very few remain because the cloth usually wore out and was replaced with vinyl seat covers"---written by a Corvair fanatic--- $500 DEPOSIT DUE AT AUCTION CLOSE, REMAINING BALANCE TO BE PAID IN CASH UPON PICK UP. AFTER AUCTION CLOSE AND DEPOSIT HAS BEEN MADE, BUYER WILL HAVE 2 WEEKS TO PICKUP THE CAR UNLESS OTHERWISE ARRANGED.
