63 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder Convertible Manual No Reserve 44k Miles Rally on 2040-cars
Daytona Beach, Florida, United States
|
Why a Corvair Monza Spyder? We at Classic Motorsports magazine
picked the Corvair Monza Spyder because it offered rarity (less than 15,000
built over three years, with 4761 made in 1963), technical interest (one of the first
ever, mass produced, factory turbo charged cars) and much more uniqueness than
a Mustang convertible. Those can be seen at every car show in America. The Corvair Monza Spyder is quick,
handles very well and has a great ride quality on the street. Don’t even
believe all the Ralph Nader crap… a properly sorted Corvair is a great handling
car. This car seats four very comfortably
and is a great entry-level classic that would be welcome at most shows rallies
and autocross events. Hagerty’s price guide shows a #2
quality car at $18,000 and a # 1 car is priced at $25,900. The Monza Syder convertible is the
rarest of the rare, with only 4761 built in 1963 and is the one Corvair to have
in your collection. Why This Car? This is a “no issues”, collector
quality car. It was sold new in Pasadena California and spent its entire life
in the Los Angeles area. We bought it ten years ago, shipped it to Florida and
began an extensive restoration. There are 44,356 miles on the odometer and
except for a short time when the odometer was broken this is believed to be
nearly original. We have all the receipts with this car and they back this
claim up. Repainted in PPG 2 Stage to
concours level in the original color of Palomar Red, this car comes equipped
with a newer white convertible top that works perfectly. The black interior is
mostly original and in very good condition. The entire inside of the car was
stripped to the floors, which had zero (yes–zero!) rust, and were coated in POR
15 and then carefully covered in modern sound deadening material. New carpets
were installed and all the heater ducting was checked for leaks and replaced as
needed. As outlined below, we have made
some tasteful modifications that can quickly be returned to original condition.
We have put a few thousand miles on this car since restoration and have
everything sorted very well. Everything from the heater to the horn and all the lights, including the period
correct rally lights work. The modifications Our intent was to build something the factory never did: a RallySport Corvair. Much like the Fitch Specials of
the era, we wanted to add subtle graphic and functional improvements that are
easily reversible, if someone wants to return the car to stock condition. Our
goal was to build a period correct, rally-look car that would be a fun classic
car rally and show car that has a genuine improvement in straightline and
cornering performance. Modifications • Period Lucas rally lights, • Swingin Sixties, offset tape strips in cream (not white)
to blend in perfectly. • New Koni Classic shocks • 14x5.5” rally wheels with Chevy center caps and Firestone
tires in good condition • Factory optional quick ratio steering knuckles • Professionally converted to front disc brakes Original
front drum brakes (which are in good condition) come with car. • Final drive ratio moved from 3.55:1 to 3.27:1 for better
highway cruising. Increased power makes taking off from a traffic light no
problem. • Weber DCOE conversion to up boost and improve performance.
Original completely rebuilt carb, linkage and perfect original air cleaner also
come with car • Ugly rocker panel moulding removed for sportier look.
These come with car and have been polished. • Complete set of custom made Cocoa Mats. • Custom Autosound AM/FM/iPod radio with 4 discrete speakers. The good Completely rebuild engine and transaxle
with parts and advice from Clark’s Corvair. New gas tank, fuel lines, electric
fuel pump. No rust ever on any part of the
car, except one spot on one door that was fixed correctly by welding in a small
patch panel. Every bit of the underside of the
car was wire brushed and restored and painted with Eastwood Chassis Black. Engine compartment nicely
detailed. Trunk nicely detailed. Spare moved to front trunk for better weight
distribution, but could be returned to engine compartment in two minutes. Original, optional glass washer
bottle. Spare belts tools etc. in trunck go with car. Every inch of mechanics from wheel
bearing to wheel bearing at all four corners no expense spared. Could easily
drive this car to anywhere in the country. No expense was spared and this car
was restored as if we were going to keep it forever. All bumpers and trim was replaced
or buffed as needed to look perfect. The bad There is very, very little not to
like about this car. While we put new seat padding in the seats, the covers are
mostly original. There are a couple of well-done patches, in closely matching
black vinyl. The aluminum dash and glove box
are original too, and there is slight pitting. Wherever possible, we left
things original, as this is such a nice low mileage car. There is one nick in
the windshield the size of a bb. It has not grown in the ten years I have owned
the car. There are a couple of minor nicks
on original interior panels. Every single aspect of this
restoration has been covered in Classic Motorsports. In 2012. There are nearly
20 project update stories on our ClassicMotorsports.net website under cars. I
am the owner of Classic Motorsports and restorer–not a dealer. You can bid
in confidence and you are welcome to inspect the car, as it is in our magazine
showroom. The only reason we are selling this car is we are out of garage space
and need to write about the next car. Stop by our showroom any time Monday-Friday 9am-5pm to see the car, or message me for more details. |

GM is the latest automaker accused of diesel emissions cheating
Thu, May 25 2017Volkswagen and Ram need to make room on the diesel-emissions bench for General Motors. America's largest automaker was accused in a lawsuit on Thursday of rigging hundreds of thousands of diesel trucks with at least three so-called defeat devices to ensure that the trucks would meet federal and state emission standards, even if they generated more pollution in real-world driving. According to the complaint, on-road emissions testing conducted for the plaintiffs found that Duramax-equipped trucks produced NOx pollutants, comprised of nitrogen and oxygen atoms, two to five times higher than legally permitted, and "many times" higher than their gasoline counterparts. The proposed class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Detroit on behalf of people who own or lease more than 705,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks fitted with "Duramax" engines from 2011 to 2016 model years. The lawsuit seeks remedies including possible refunds or restitution for lost vehicle value, plus punitive damages. It adds to legal problems for Detroit-based GM, which has already paid about $2.5 billion in penalties and settlements over faulty ignition switches linked to 124 deaths. GM joins at least five automakers whose diesel emissions have been scrutinized by regulators or consumers. They include VW, which has admitted to cheating; Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler; Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Peugeot and Renault. GM spokesman Dan Flores called the claims "baseless," and said the trucks comply with US Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards and California's own tough standards. Shares of GM were down 69 cents, or 2.1 percent, at $32.50 in afternoon trading, after earlier falling to $31.93. The GM lawsuit was filed by several law firms, including Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, which helped reach multibillion-dollar settlements with VW on behalf of drivers and dealers. The case is Fenner et al v General Motors LLC et al, US District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, No. 17-11661. The named plaintiffs are Andrei Fenner of Mountain View, California and Joshua Herman of Sulphur, Louisiana. They said they would not have bought their respective 2011 Sierra and 2016 Silverado trucks, or would have paid less for them, had they known about the alleged rigging. Joseph Spak, an RBC Capital Markets analyst, in a research report said "negative publicity" from the lawsuit could drive buyers to trucks from Ford or even Fiat Chrysler's Ram.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
