This 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 900 convertible is finished in red over red vinyl and is equipped with a white convertible top, a heater/defroster, a padded dashboard, and a push-button AM radio. Power is supplied by a 145ci flat-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and service during current ownership is said to have included replacing the pushrod-tube seals, cleaning and resealing the oil cooler, and changing the oil. The car was acquired by the seller’s father out of North Carolina in 2012.
The car is finished in red and features a white soft top with a matching boot cover, a louvered deck lid, and brightwork consisting of bumpers with front guards, rocker-panel trim, a driver-side mirror, a lower rear grille, and a downturned exhaust tip.
Steel 13″ wheels are painted black, fitted with Monza-branded hubcaps, and wrapped in Sonic Astra whitewall tires.
The interior features red vinyl upholstery with a matching dash pad, door panels, and carpeting. Bright trim adorns the dashboard and door panels, and amenities include front bucket seats, a heater/defroster, a push-button Delco AM radio, and black rubber floor mats.
A two-spoke steering wheel with a semicircular chrome horn ring fronts a 100-mph horizontal-sweep speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 44k miles.
The rear-mounted air-cooled 145ci flat-six is naturally aspirated and equipped with a pair of one-barrel Rochester carburetors. The pushrod-tube seals are said to have been replaced in 2020, and service in preparation for the sale included cleaning and resealing the oil cooler and changing the oil. The fuel pump, the distributor, and the spark-plug wires reportedly were replaced under previous ownership.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
