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

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
