1965 Corvair Monza Corsa Convertible, Four Speed, Rare Evening Orchid Color on 2040-cars
Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States
|
Just finished every mile of the Great Race from Maine to Florida! This 1965 Corvair convertible got more attention than any of the 104 vehicles in the 2014 Great Race. This car ran all 2,400 miles of the event and came in 31st overall in competition. And it used less than a quart of oil in 2,500 miles and never ran hot! Ever want an affordable convertible that you can drive anywhere, well here it is.
It is a four speed and four single barrel carbs. This car started life as a Monza but it has had a Corsa dash added and the Monza badges removed. It looks like it was restored in the 1980s and it has held up well. It was not an original Evening Orchid car from the factory, but I was told by the guy I bought it from that it was restored by a well-known Corvair guy. It has some fiberglass repair, but it has obviously held up well. The interior appears to be original, and is usable as is. The passenger seat has pulled apart at the seam about five or six inches long (an easy fix). The car has four new tires (Maxis radials) just before the Great Race, so they have 2,500 miles on them.
Convertible top looks to be four or five years old and in great shape. The plastic window is excellent.
Please know that this is a driver and not a 100-point show car. It has a few scratches, nicks and such as you would except in a car that is nearly 50 years old and was restored 25 years ago. If you want to fly in and drive it home, I will pick you up at the airport. You can drive this car across the country. I can possibly deliver for a fee and a plane ticket home. I encourage you to come look at this car if you are interested before bidding.
Please do not ask the reserve price -- it is very reasonably priced for how reliable the car is. If you have any questions on this great little car, I will be happy to try to answer them as quickly as possible.
I will add trunk and engine compartment photos as soon as possible.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
