Description

CORVAIR MONZA CONVERTIBLE FOR SALE


Red with black convertible top and interior.  Powered by an 80 hp engine and three speed transmission.


This corvair was a one-owner vehicle until I purchased it in 2022.  It spent time in Michigan, Georgia and Florida where it is now located.   The previous owner did repairs and some upgrades.  I believe the car was stored at times and needed repairs to get it running and driveable. 


There was a paint job done at some point that has flaws and rust is evident in the places you would expect as shown in the pictures of the body.


The engine is the original and the odometer reading in 3014.  My guess is that the actual mileage is 103,014.  No major work has been done on the engine from the information I have seen. The transaxle had new seals in 2010 but it still leaks badly.  Fluid has to be added frequently. 


Six months after I purchased the car the ring gear separated from the fly wheel and ruined the starter.  It took me six months to get a local shop to do the repair.  The work included a  new flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disk, throwout bearing and heavy duty starter with all new seals and hardware.


I had the convertible top replaced in 2023.  The top was installed so that it is hard to latch the front and zip the rear window.


The braking action is good and is aided by the double master cylinder and a new left brake line.


The electrical system overall is functional but the horn and backup lights do not work.  The generator and voltage regulator were recently replaced.  The battery was replaced in 2019.


Tires were new in 2020.
