1963 Corvair Monza 4 door, automatic transmission, 145 C.I., 102 HP. Engine. As you can see from the pictures, it has lots of surface rust and dents. The glass is good except for some light wiper scratches on the windshield. I’ve only driven the car a couple times and I've never been under it and I’m not aware of any possible hidden problems. The car runs smoothly and has tight steering. The Rat Rod guys pay $60-$100 just for a Corvair steering box. The engine looks ugly in the photos but it runs. It doesn’t noticeably smoke out the tailpipe, but it is obvious that the outer push rod tube O-rings are leaking oil onto the exhaust manifold. You Corvair guys know exactly what I’m talking about. There is definitely a need for a gasket set in this car’s future. The brakes seem to work well. The rubber sections of the fuel line are dried out, cracked and leaking. I needed to add transmission fluid back in '07, but not since. The little car runs, drives and has potential. Odometer shows just under 3000 miles, 103000 would be more believable. My intent was to use this car as a donor car for a dune buggy body. I have clear title in my name and that is perfect for a donor car. The front suspension and rear suspension both unbolt and come out pretty much as a single unit each. It wouldn’t be much of a challenge for talented welder to create a chassis to accept a body originally intended for a VW pan. The little car is pretty much complete except for the 4 door latches and the rear window regulators that are not included. I needed those for a FiberFab Avenger project I’m working on and they wouldn’t be needed on the dune buggy project anyway. The stock Corvair instrument cluster would fit easily on a flat dune buggy dash. The 4 tires on the ground all hold air. The rear tires are pretty good studded snow tires (imagine that, studded snow tires in Colorado) one of the front tires is bald the other has tread and are airtight. The upholstery is dried and cracked with the stuffing showing, but I presume that the front bucket seats could be restuffed and recovered for dune buggy use. I’m starting the bidding low and without a reserve, if it gets a bid, it gets a new home. Sold as it is and where it is in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

I will try to answer any questions I receive before I leave and I will contact the winning bidder as soon as I can when I get back. I apologize for any inconvenience.
