1969 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible

“Originally designed to compete with the Volkswagen Beetle, the Corvair actually followed the Bug's lead by ditching its radiator and installing an air-cooled, horizontally-opposed, flat-six engine in back. The majority of 1965–69 models carried a 2.7-liter powerplant that produced 90–140 horsepower, mated to a three-speed or four-speed manual transmission or Powerglide automatic.” – Hagerty.com

This 1969 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible was originally bought from Lew Williams Chevrolet Center in Sacramento California and from best accounts has lived its life in warm dry climates which accounts for its rust-free body and clean underside. This two-owner car is featured in its original color of Cortez Silver with black interior and a black convertible top. This Corvair presents very well with the exception of the seams splitting on the driver's seat which is shown in the photographs. The remainder of the interior presents without any excessive wear.

Open the rear hood and you will find the heart of this car which is a six-cylinder motor with 4-single barrel carburetors producing 140 horsepower. The front trunk area with the spare tire mounted and the engine bay with the fire proofing intact are extremely well detailed. Within the engine bay you will also find a functioning air conditioning system which is a rare feature on a Corvair.

With a pump of the gas and the turn of the key the engine comes to life and powers this Corvair down the road as it shifts through the automatic transmission. Whether heading to a car show or just a relaxing cruise this Corvair can provide the ride.
