Up for auction is my 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible
This is a nice little car but needs some work.
This car belonged to an older guy that passed away. I have the title and it is signed by him to be put into the buyer's name. The vin number plate is missing and I assume he removed it when he began sanding it down. I was able to track down the vin on the frame and the last two numbers is all that I can see without removing some of the suspension. I have included a picture of it on the frame on this listing. The miles are showing 89,000 on the title and and 93,000 on the odometer so I assume that may be actual miles.
Besides that the car does runs but dies when you put it in gear. It will move around a little but needs both carburetors rebuilt. The body looks fair, when we got it, it was all sanded down and the parts were in boxes. It did have some body filler around where he installed the panels and some around the bottom of the doors. It had a new passenger side rear quarter put in and a new front floor pan was already in. We just sanded it all over and sealed it with some epoxy primer sealer and put all the parts back on. Included with the car was all new interior. New seat covers for front and back, new door panels for front and back, new convertible top cover, and new sun visors From Clark's Corvair parts. Also there is what looks to be a engine kit with seals and gaskets, pistons. etc and two carburetor rebuild kits.
The convertible top is fair and useable, no big tears or rips. The tires are dry rotted. It does have some minor rust holes that are common on these cars in the trunk and engine area. I am not sure if the gas tank is good or not, it currently has a plastic jug in the engine area. It has black carpet.
The car is being sold As-Is with No warranty
I'm starting it off at $3,500 with no reserve.
If you have any questions at all please feel free to message me.
Thanks,

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
