1963 Corvair Monza Spyder 90% original,3 owner adult owned non-smoker/pet in great condition.This vehicle is finished in Palomar Red Metallic with black interior and black top.I am the 3rd owner has been a weekend cruiser and driven to car shows as it's primary use.It is a numbers matching vehicle with no mechanical issues,there is no white smoke at start up or anytime,transmission is automatic power glide that shifts smooth,always starts no hesitation.The floors and rocker panels are solid,no trace of rust anywhere on the body and the under carriage is solid,seats have fading from being original but no rips or tears,top is practically new as is the rear window.Work i have done on it since owned,
New carpeting 2012
Weather stripping 2013
Valve cover gaskets 2012
Serpentine Belt 2012
Whitewall tires 2013
Rhino spray liner used in trunk area 2012
The car was painted by the previous owner in 2010 and it looks great as you can see in the pictures,a few scratches on passenger door but red makes it more obvious,this is not a 10 foot or 5 foot paint job it was a expensive job and done pretty well(thus 90% original).She has 57,000 miles but the title states exceeds mechanical limits.Due to the previous owners spouse checking the wrong box,when i went to correct it at the DMV i was told the vehicle is exempt since it's over 25 years old.When i asked why not put exempt on it instead?,i was told to make any changes to a title i need notarized statements from all owners.Well the first owner is deceased so that is impossible,so for leery feel free to believe it has 157,000 but as original and sturdy as this car is i strongly know this is a 57k mile vehicle.We have won numerous trophies with her at Chevy shows and good guys.
What would i suggest doing over the years?
Re chrome some of the small interior trim eg top release latches,small piece near gas cap opening,a few touch ups put a better tire on the spare.
Is this a Barret Jackson show car? not yet
Is it a restoration project fixer upper? absolutely not.
What all is included in auction?
2 sets of keys(2 for trunk and 2 for ignition)
Service manual
3 more manuals and 2 history brochures
2 sets of floor mats
extra side view mirror
serpentine belt
Original Laminated bill of sale from 1963
This would make a great daily driver or weekend cruiser or show car and needs nothing except whatever the next owners personal preference would be.I will do a No Reserve auction,but please keep in mind i have a local offer of 4900 which i feel is giving it away and if the bidding does not come close to that i will end the auction.My buy it now is 9,Serious bidders only please if you have 0 feedback and are the highest bidder in the last 24 hours contact me or i will retract your bid.I am a very honest person feel free to message me with any questions or if you would like to have the vehicle inspected or look at it in person.Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

I was just made aware by another member that this is a monza convertible not a spyder,as spyders have different gauges and manual transmission,When i decode the vin it comes back as a spyder.So please keep in mind what you are bidding on and feel free to ask any further questions.
Thanks

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
