My 1962 Corvair Monza 900Convertible is looking for a new home.
3 Speed Manual, 102hp \"Crossed Flags\" emblem** aka thenormally-aspirated High Performance motor. I\'veowned this amazing rust-free car for 15 years. I brought ithome from Colorado in 2003. Garaged-stored always - including15 yrs in my A/C\'d garage. Since I\'ve owned, it\'s never spentthe night outside. I\'ve driven it approx 4000 miles during that time; now @102,400 miles. It\'s a true survivor, with its original engine/drive train, neither of which has ever been removed.A groovy dream to drive. As you\'ll see in the fotos here (links below to 70 morefotos and video), it\'s a uniquely beautiful car. I have all receipts since I purchased the car.
** Trivia ** The \'crossed flags\' emblem is actually a cross-sectional view of the engine block and cylinder heads.
QuickFacts by Category:Paint: Very well-prepped older repaint.Contains various imperfections, including touched-up scratches / chips from over theyears. Largest is a touched up quarter-sized chip on the engine lidedge (see picture). But, it still gets tons of attention at the shows and on the road, as the paint shines very nicely.Body/Floor, etc: Rust-Free (see undercarriage pictures).Fortunately, a Colorado car, nicely rust-proofed back in the day. Engine compartment also rust-free, includingbattery box.Brakes - Rebuilt wheel cylinders, replaced brakehoses, shoes, converted to dual-chamber mastercylinder.Chassis - Replaced F & R shocks.Engine/DriveTrain: Small Leak at main seal. Noticeable when car is notrun regularly. I\'ve used the same piece of cardboard for 10years - still intact. Minimal effect on oil level, certainlynot enough to consider removal/rebuild, etc. Pushrod tube seals wereViton-replaced 7 yrs ago. Replaced muffler. Transmission shifts perfectly.Replaced Gear Oil with Amsol API/GL4 lubricant.Also, when tunnel was opened for inspection, shifter linkages werecleaned/lubricated and transmission input shaft seal replaced. .

When top replaced,in an attempt to keep as original as possible, owner left the original very worn side pads in place (see picture) - Although only visible from inside, still an odd decision, so theyremain until the new owner is ready to replace current top down the road. Allbows and hardware in exc. condition. Period seat/lap belts inExc. Condition. Why a picture of the shift knob?
