Up for auction is a 1965 Corvair Monza 110 Convertible. This is a very presentable and reliable automobile, and at 2650 pounds on a 108 inch wheelbase with a 56 inch track and fully independant front and rear suspension, is a really fun car to drive. The super reliable and low maintenance air-cooled flat 6 engine provides loads of torque and the 45/55 weight distribution makes for a great handler.
This car has been the wife's weekend fun car for a number of years and as such has been updated and well maintained. Within the last thousand miles the following have been done:
New trunk and engine compartment weatherstripping
Dual master cylinder installation for safety
New brakes all four corners
Replaced rear shocks, springs and bushings
Replaced cooling fan and bearing
New Distributor
New plug wires
Rebuilt carbs
Complete tune-up with points, rotor and condenser
Replaced fuel pump
Replaced engine compartment cooling valves
The overall condition is that of a very presentable driver. The tires have approximately 75% wear remaining and are not cracked. The paint was a respray from some point in the past and has held up well. There is no structural rust present and the crossmember is fine. There is some bubbling along the bottom of the drivers side rear quarter panel under the battery tray and is the usual on these cars. The engine cover has the usual minor bubbling along the lower lip and there are two tiny cracks in the paint along the top edge of the drivers door. The only rust through is in the battery tray under the battery in the engine compartment. The trunk area is solid and painted in the correct splatter pattern.
The interior is in perfect condition. No rips, tears, stains, wears, including the door panels. All seat belts are in perfect condition as well and the instrument panel has been redone and is in like new condition. All the lights, gauges, and warning lights work with the exception of the odometer which is not working. The turn signals work but need to be manually cancelled as the turn signal switch will not self-cancel.
The manual convertible top is in perfect condition as is the top mechanism, padding and rear window.
The car starts, runs and drives nicely, it uses no oil and the transmission shifts as it should. It is an all around modern looking , dependable classic car that gets lots of attention and one in which you wont be constantly meeting yourself coming from and going to the cruise ins.
Any further information required, feel free to submit any questions you may have and I'll be happy to try to answer them. My reserve is low, as my wife is no longer driving and the car needs a new home. Thanks and Happy Bidding.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout
Tue, Nov 25 2014Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.
