1963 Corvair Monza Spyder 90% original,3 owner adult owned non-smoker/pet in great condition.This vehicle is finished in Palomar Red Metallic with black interior and black top.I am the 3rd owner has been a weekend cruiser and driven to car shows as it's primary use.It is a numbers matching vehicle with no mechanical issues,there is no white smoke at start up or anytime,transmission is automatic power glide that shifts smooth,always starts no hesitation.The floors and rocker panels are solid,no trace of rust anywhere on the body and the under carriage is solid,seats have fading from being original but no rips or tears,top is practically new as is the rear window.Work i have done on it since owned,

New carpeting 2012
Weather stripping 2013
Valve cover gaskets 2012
Serpentine Belt 2012
Whitewall tires 2013

Rhino spray liner  used in trunk area 2012

The car was painted by the previous owner in 2010 and it looks great as you can see in the pictures,a few scratches on passenger door but red makes it more obvious,this is not a 10 foot or 5 foot paint job it was a expensive job and done pretty well(thus 90% original).She has 57,000 miles but the title states exceeds mechanical limits.Due to the previous owners spouse checking the wrong box,when i went to correct it at the DMV i was told the vehicle is exempt since it's over 25 years old.When i asked why not put exempt on it instead?,i was told to make any changes to a title i need notarized statements from all owners.Well the first owner is deceased so that is impossible,so for leery feel free to believe it has 157,000 but as original and sturdy as this car is i strongly know this is a 57k mile vehicle.We have won numerous trophies with her at Chevy shows and good guys.

What would i suggest doing over the years?

Re chrome some of the small interior trim eg top release latches,small piece near gas cap opening,a few touch ups put a better tire on the spare.

Is this a Barret Jackson show car? not yet
Is it a restoration project fixer upper? absolutely not.

What all is included in auction?

2 sets of keys(2 for trunk and 2 for ignition)
Service manual
3 more manuals and 2 history brochures
2 sets of floor mats
extra side view mirror
serpentine belt
Original Laminated bill of sale from 1963



This would make a great daily driver or weekend cruiser or show car and needs nothing except  whatever the next owners personal preference would be.I will do a No Reserve auction,but please keep in mind i have a local offer of 4900 which i feel is giving it away and if the bidding does not come close to that i will end the auction.My buy it now is 9,Serious bidders only please if you have 0 feedback and are the highest bidder in the last 24 hours contact me or i will retract your bid.I am a very honest person feel free to message me with any questions or if you would like to have the vehicle inspected or look at it in person.Thanks for looking and happy bidding

 I was just made aware by another member that this is a monza convertible not a spyder,as spyders have different gauges and manual transmission,When i decode the vin it comes back as a spyder.So please keep in mind what you are bidding on and feel free to ask any further questions.

Thanks

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China

Mon, Nov 7 2016

Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
