1965 Corvair Monza Corsa Convertible, Four Speed, Rare Evening Orchid Color on 2040-cars
Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States
|
Just finished every mile of the Great Race from Maine to Florida! This 1965 Corvair convertible got more attention than any of the 104 vehicles in the 2014 Great Race. This car ran all 2,400 miles of the event and came in 31st overall in competition. And it used less than a quart of oil in 2,500 miles and never ran hot! Ever want an affordable convertible that you can drive anywhere, well here it is.
It is a four speed and four single barrel carbs. This car started life as a Monza but it has had a Corsa dash added and the Monza badges removed. It looks like it was restored in the 1980s and it has held up well. It was not an original Evening Orchid car from the factory, but I was told by the guy I bought it from that it was restored by a well-known Corvair guy. It has some fiberglass repair, but it has obviously held up well. The interior appears to be original, and is usable as is. The passenger seat has pulled apart at the seam about five or six inches long (an easy fix). The car has four new tires (Maxis radials) just before the Great Race, so they have 2,500 miles on them.
Convertible top looks to be four or five years old and in great shape. The plastic window is excellent.
Please know that this is a driver and not a 100-point show car. It has a few scratches, nicks and such as you would except in a car that is nearly 50 years old and was restored 25 years ago. If you want to fly in and drive it home, I will pick you up at the airport. You can drive this car across the country. I can possibly deliver for a fee and a plane ticket home. I encourage you to come look at this car if you are interested before bidding.
Please do not ask the reserve price -- it is very reasonably priced for how reliable the car is. If you have any questions on this great little car, I will be happy to try to answer them as quickly as possible.
I will add trunk and engine compartment photos as soon as possible.

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
