This '67 Corvair Monza 4 door (the last year for the 4 door model) was the "laboratory play toy" of a previous owner.  He made several changes/additions that make this car unique and desirable.

 

Options and refinements include:  side marker lights, all 4 tail lights converted to stop/turn signal lights, Front DISC Brakes with power assist on all four brakes, under dash courtesy lights, remote control driver's door mirror, 4.11 POSITRACTION differential, in dash Factory Air conditioning with a recent Sanden compressor and working factory idle "kick up" switch, tinted glass, a unique engine cold air induction system, the RY code, 4 carburetor 140 horsepower engine with dual exhaust, 2 speed Powerglide transmission, deluxe seat belts, Kenwood in dash AM/FM single cd player with rear package shelf mounted 6 X 9 speakers, and removable antenna, adjustable TELESCOPING steering wheel with the "Quick Steering" (3 3/4 turns lock to lock) set up, clock that shows the correct time twice per day, factory front floor mats, finned valve covers and extra capacity, finned oil pan, oil filter adaptor that uses the larger Ford-size oil filter, a never used trailer hitch, chrome exhaust grille inserts, chrome gas cap filler door guard.  I honestly have never seen another Monza Sport Sedan equipped like this one is!

 

The Marina blue paint is still smooth & shinny (age unknown with a few of the usual Corvair rust areas slowly surfacing--see pics), new Clark's Corvair driver's seat cushion foam padding, 4 recent carbs from Wolf Enterprises, Pertronix points elimination system, electric fuel pump with additional fuel filter, added "Fat Mat" style insulation under the fold down back seat/under rear window, upper door panels and dash board metal repainted, The factory headliner is intact, with a couple of small rips.  The interior is as clean and desirable as the pics here indicate!  The rear seat back cover would have to be changed to make it "Car Show" perfect; but is still useable as a "Daily Driver".  The hard-to-find 13 inch whitewall tires have perhaps 100 miles on them.

 

I've owned this car for about 2 years.  Because of multiple knee surgeries, limited recovery and constant pain I haven't been able to give this car the time and effort it needs to make it perfect.  I've been storing it in my Mother's garage; but since she recently purchased a new car she wants her garage back.

 

The starter needs to be repaired/replaced, as it spins quickly but does not engage the engine 90% of the time.  I just don't have the knee/body movement & flexability to take care of it.  Before the starter issue happened I was trying to start it and run it a couple times per month.  I've always kept gasoline additive/preservative in the tank.

 

Thanks to a recent pan gasket and "Rescue Tape" wrapped shift cable, the transmission is leak free.  The engine weeps from a couple of the push rod tubes (typical of Corvairs).  Only a small spot the size of a quarter; this car is NOT an "Exxon Valdez" leaker.  The steering gear box is tight, with no center free play.  The turn signal lever is also tight, with no slop and working properly.

 

The A/C needs a can or two of R-12 Freon to make it ice cold again.  I will include a couple of cans with the car for your use.

 

Legal Stuff: This 46 year old car is being sold as-is, no warranty expressed or implied. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  The full amount of selling price will be required to be paid to me before I can release the car to you or your shipper.

 

I've tried to be honest and fair in my description of this car.  If you have any questions, please email me.  I check my email several times per day.
