Details

This 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza coupe is powered by a 2.7L (164ci) rear-mounted flat six-cylinder engine and automatic transmission operated by a dashboard lever. This original example is red with chrome trim and matching red painted steel wheels that make this Monza one of the sportiest Corvairs available at the time. Inside, the front bucket seats and rear bench are covered in red vinyl with matching carpet, dashboard, and door trim. Dashboard-mounted controls are fronted by a two-spoke red leather-wrapped steering wheel. The 5-digit odometer shows 35,336 original miles. The vehicle is located in Wisconsin.

Third-party photos and inspection show a well-kept, original Monza. The paint is in good condition overall and only close inspection reveals some wear and tear that would be expected given the age of the vehicle. There is a scratch noted on the right rear quarter panel. Inside, the carpet and vinyl seats are presented in excellent condition.  Similarly, the white headliner shows well and is free of stains. The vehicle has received significant attention to its mechanics including upgraded dual exhaust, new seals, and shocks to ensure that it functions properly and performs at the top of its game. The inspection confirmed that mechanically, the engine and transmission run smoothly. The sale includes an additional set of tires, chrome hubcaps, two keys, owner’s and shop manuals, and a car cover.

This Corvair Monza Coupe is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in West Bend, WI.

About the model

The Chevrolet Corvair was introduced for the 1960 model year. The first generation of Corvair was a series of compact, rear-engined cars available in sedan, coupe, convertible, and station wagon body styles. These cars were initially powered by an air-cooled, 2.3L flat six engine, but over the course of production, displacement grew to 2.4L (1961-1963), before finally reaching to 2.7L for 1964. In 1961, Chevrolet introduced a van and pickup based on the Corvair. These utilitarian vans and pickups are collectively known as the Corvair 95 (95 inch wheelbase), with the van known as the Chevrolet Greenbrier, and the pickup featuring in the Corvair Pickup market. Production of the first generation Corvair continued until 1964, when it was replaced by the Second Generation Chevrolet Corvair.
