1963 Corvair Monza Spyder 90% original,3 owner adult owned non-smoker/pet in great condition.This vehicle is finished in Palomar Red Metallic with black interior and black top.I am the 3rd owner has been a weekend cruiser and driven to car shows as it's primary use.It is a numbers matching vehicle with no mechanical issues,there is no white smoke at start up or anytime,transmission is automatic power glide that shifts smooth,always starts no hesitation.The floors and rocker panels are solid,no trace of rust anywhere on the body and the under carriage is solid,seats have fading from being original but no rips or tears,top is practically new as is the rear window.Work i have done on it since owned,
New carpeting 2012
Weather stripping 2013
Valve cover gaskets 2012
Serpentine Belt 2012
Whitewall tires 2013
Rhino spray liner used in trunk area 2012
The car was painted by the previous owner in 2010 and it looks great as you can see in the pictures,a few scratches on passenger door but red makes it more obvious,this is not a 10 foot or 5 foot paint job it was a expensive job and done pretty well(thus 90% original).She has 57,000 miles but the title states exceeds mechanical limits.Due to the previous owners spouse checking the wrong box,when i went to correct it at the DMV i was told the vehicle is exempt since it's over 25 years old.When i asked why not put exempt on it instead?,i was told to make any changes to a title i need notarized statements from all owners.Well the first owner is deceased so that is impossible,so for leery feel free to believe it has 157,000 but as original and sturdy as this car is i strongly know this is a 57k mile vehicle.We have won numerous trophies with her at Chevy shows and good guys.
What would i suggest doing over the years?
Re chrome some of the small interior trim eg top release latches,small piece near gas cap opening,a few touch ups put a better tire on the spare.
Is this a Barret Jackson show car? not yet
Is it a restoration project fixer upper? absolutely not.
What all is included in auction?
2 sets of keys(2 for trunk and 2 for ignition)
Service manual
3 more manuals and 2 history brochures
2 sets of floor mats
extra side view mirror
serpentine belt
Original Laminated bill of sale from 1963
This would make a great daily driver or weekend cruiser or show car and needs nothing except whatever the next owners personal preference would be.I will do a No Reserve auction,but please keep in mind i have a local offer of 4900 which i feel is giving it away and if the bidding does not come close to that i will end the auction.My buy it now is 9,Serious bidders only please if you have 0 feedback and are the highest bidder in the last 24 hours contact me or i will retract your bid.I am a very honest person feel free to message me with any questions or if you would like to have the vehicle inspected or look at it in person.Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

I was just made aware by another member that this is a monza convertible not a spyder,as spyders have different gauges and manual transmission,When i decode the vin it comes back as a spyder.So please keep in mind what you are bidding on and feel free to ask any further questions.
Thanks

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.
