Up for auction is a 1963 Corvair Monza 900 Convertible. This car is in amazing condition for a 50 year old Michigan car! It has the 100hp 6cylinder with Automatic Transmission. I bought it recently because it was built the same year I was born and I thought I deserved a birthday present. My wife does not agree. About the car. Some of the positives: As the car sits it looks very cool with a well aged patina. As far as I can tell it is 100% original red paint, has red vinyl interior and carpet which is also 90% perfect. The black convertible top goes up and down manually and would be in great condition except for two huge cuts through it.( the rear window is in great condition) It runs and drives very well. The previous owner replaced the fuel tank, lines, pump and filters, and also replaced the brake lines so it runs great and stops well too. I don't know how new the tires are but they are excellent. It is missing one of the original hub caps (a good used one is $20.00) but I will include a full set of new plastic ones if you want them. The radio works, the lights and wipers work. The engine starts immediatly and runs very good. The transmission shifts normally and the parking brake works too. It does not appear to leak anything. There is of course an old build up of gunk on the bottom of the 50 year old engine and trans but no drips under the car. The thermostatic cooling flaps and the chokes are all functioning. Now for some of the negatives: Although not major, it does have some rust , I tried to capture the rust areas with the camera and have not done anything to cover or repair it. The floor has a six inch 'slice' in the metal under the drivers seat as if it had run over something in the road but it is slender and solid metal which should be easy to weld. It is located in a spot where there is a factory brace under the seat so it has not weakened the floor. The rest of the floor has a basic scaling of metal but no holes and is amazingly solid. The trunk is original spackle paint, and has very minimal surface rust in the front corners and no holes. There is some miscellaneous rust on the car that should be dealt with but not structural. (If you are serious, I have pictures I can provide immediatly) The right front fender is rusted through(see photo) Conclussion: This is a great car to do a full restore on, or just drive it in the summers and fix as you go. There are many sources to but new and used parts to restore this car, and a great resource of online clubs and forums. I can say a lot more and have a huge pile of photos, so let me know what you want and I will help. Also has original papers, build sheet, owners books etc.. s On Apr-03-13 at 07:27:52 PDT, seller added the following information: Please give me a call with your questions or additional pictures! 616 334 6261 Michael
