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.

No diesels in the running for 2016 Green Car Of The Year
Thu, Oct 15 2015It's a new era for the Green Car Of The Year. In the past, the theme of the award was to take a broad look at alternative powertrains and pick the best among them. "Clean diesels" from the Volkswagen group were often among the finalists and won the award twice. For the 2016 edition - which will be handed out at the LA Auto Show next month - not a single diesel made the list. There's little wonder why. Green Car Journal, which names the winner with a panel of experts, had to strip two VW brand vehicles of their past wins. The 2009 VW Jetta TDI, which won in 2008, and the 2010 Audi A3 TDI, which won in 2010, have both lost their titles now that the world knows about the "defeat devices" that VW installed in many of its TDI vehicles around the world. So, what does that leave us with for 2016? Two plug ins, a hybrid, and two gas vehicles. The two electric vehicle are the Audi A3 e-tron and the Chevy Volt, while the all-new Toyota Prius (which will come with a plug-in version later) is the lone pure hybrid. Rounding out the pack are two efficient gas models: the Hyundai Sonata and the Honda Civic. This is the tenth year for the Green Car Of The Year, and it will be interesting to see if diesels can come back into the award's good graces (for the record, no diesels were among the finalists in 2013, either) in the future. For now, we'd like to know who you think should win. You can read more about the finalists in the press release below and then cast your vote in our poll. Show full PR text FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2016 GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 11th Annual Award at LA Auto Show Press & Trade Days, November 19 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 15, 2015) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's prestigious 2016 Green Car of the Year® award. The 2016 models include the Audi A3 e-tron, Chevrolet Volt, Honda Civic, Hyundai Sonata, and Toyota Prius. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
It won't be long now before Nissan Leaf finally overtakes Chevy Volt
Thu, Dec 25 2014The two best-selling plug-in vehicles ever are the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. When the two vehicles launched in late 2010, the plug-in hybrid Volt quickly outpaced the all-electric Leaf and, despite lots of ups and downs since then, continues to hold on to a cumulative sales lead. This will change in 2015. Cumulatively, from November 2010 through November 2014, the Volt sold 71,867 units while the Leaf trails with 69,220. That's a difference of just 2,647. Based on current trends (with the Leaf selling around 2,500-2,700 a month and the Volt at 1,500-1,700) we expect the Leaf to take over either in January or, more likely, February when the Leaf takes over as the most popular plug-in car in America. Perhaps even March, depending on how low the numbers are for January and February, which are always slow sales months in the US. Of course, once it takes the crown, the Leaf can't expect to easily hold on for long. A new Volt is coming in the second half of 2015, likely beating a new Leaf to market. The question is, then, how well the Chevy sells with all of its new bells and whistles. Do you think the Volt will be the comeback kid once the 2016 model becomes available?

Train derailment leaves Jeep, GMC, Chevy pickups damaged in Nevada
Thu, Jul 11 2019An unfortunate train derailment is causing some inevitable delays for pickup truck customers west of Nevada. Yesterday morning, 33 train cars derailed in Lincoln County, and the cargo that was being transported consisted of new Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers along with Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras, judging from the photos released by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. The train derailment also caused the adjacent road to be closed, and local law enforcement recommends the area is to be avoided as long as it takes to clean it all up. In the photos, damaged Jeeps and other trucks sit either on their wheels or shiny-side-down as the incident is being assessed. Available information says there were thankfully no personal injuries, but itÂ’s not likely any of these trucks will end up in customer hands, even with a significant discount. Pre-registration transport damage, significant or not, has often resulted in scrapping complete vehicles so that manufacturers can steer clear of liability issues. Hooniverse.com, which also reported on the incident, notes a couple of interesting things. Firstly, the upended Gladiator seems to have a pretty sturdy support structure for its glasshouse, thanks to its new rollbars. Another matter is that the GM trucks, also pictured, wear discreet and temporary transport steel wheels instead of fancier items, perhaps to deter thieves eager to grab a shiny set from trucks on their way to the dealer. Still, itÂ’s a shame these vehicles could never fulfill their hauling purposes in the hands of new owners. Perhaps the manufacturers can at least use the damage for data-gathering purposes.
