Year: 1967
Trim: Monza

Power Options: Air Conditioning
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.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way
Wed, Mar 4 2020GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.
GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
