1965 Chevrolet Corvair Super Sport - 2 Door Hardtop - Beautiful ! - Show Winner! on 2040-cars

This is my personal 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Super Sport.  Yah, I know, there were no Corvair Super Sports.  This is a one of a kind that I produced.  The Super Sport strips were copied off a 1975 El Camino Super Sport by a local graphic arts company.  I added the additional 2 taillights to complete the illusion.  All tail light lens and trim rings are NOS parts. There are additional SS badges on the trunk lid and glove compartment door.

This car was repainted in 2003 before I bought it so I don't know what is under the paint but it sure looks good.  I have replaced almost every piece of stainless steel trim on this car with NOS or reproduction pieces.  I had the bumpers re-chromed. 

The car has a new battery, cables, starter, alternator, distributer cap, electronic ignition, fuel pump, oil pressure sender, plugs, plug wires, carbs, aftermarket chrome air cleaners, fan belt (with spare),

I put reconditioned 14" Oldsmobile 442 wheels with new center caps and trim rings on the car.  The tires are double red line from Coker Tire.  I have put an ENTIRE new interior in the car with center console and new seat belts.  I did build a rear speaker enclosure with two 6 x 9 speakers but have not hooked it up to any radio yet.  I was going to put a modern radio under the passenger seat because I did not want to replace the working factory AM radio.  The factory clock in the car does work but it decides when it's going to do so!  The windshield washers do not work.  I have added a lock to the engine compartment as these cars never had locking engine compartment lids.

There are NO leaks from this car other than a very minor occasional drip from the automatic transmission shift linkage 0-ring.  The transmission fluid has been changed.  The car has Mobile One 10w-30 oil in it.  There are no squeaks or rattles in this car - it is solid. 

The interior of the trunk looks brand new.  The underside of the trunk and engine compartment lids look perfect.  There is a brand NEW spare tire in the trunk.  The Corvair currently has dual Harley Davidson Sportster mufflers on it so it has a "cackle"! 

This car currently has 54,000+ miles on it that are supposedly original but I have no way of proving that fact.  It was a one owner car when I bought it 5 years ago.  The car spent its entire life in Atlanta, GA.  I purchased it from the estate of the lady that bought it new.  I have the original dealer window sticker and purchase paperwork to go with the car. She traded two Packards in on the car in 1965!

This car was at the national Corvair meet in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 2010 and got rave reviews from everyone that saw it.

I have invested over $15,000 in the restoration of this Corvair but am asking only $5995.00 because:  The car has been garaged under a car cover since last fall when we were out for an ice cream cone drive.  The engine developed a knock on the way home so it has a problem that needs repair.  I currently would not attempt to drive it.

The winning bidder will have to PayPal a non-refundable $500 deposit immediately upon purchasing the car.  This auction can be canceled at anytime as the car is also advertised locally and on Craig’s List.  I have the clear Iowa title in my hands!  Transaction types allowed are bank-to-bank wire transfers, US Postal Money Order, PayPal, or Cash.  Cashier's checks and money orders are too easily counterfeited - Sorry!
