The seller offers for sale this 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza cabriolet equipped with an air-cooled 2.8-litre flat-six petrol engine and automatic transmission. This example has an original US title and presents as a carefully kept Monza. The engine starts without hesitation, runs clean with no blue or white smoke when warm, and produces no unusual noises. The automatic gearbox shifts smoothly and quietly. According to the seller, the car has not been involved in accidents and shows no rust. The paint and body are described as being in good condition with nice shine, and the interior seats are in well preserved condition for their age with functioning mechanisms. The seller highlights that the car drives nicely, feels solid on the road, and that the electric retractable roof operates correctly. No technical upgrades were added, keeping the Corvair in an original state. This car holds a valid technical inspection.
The Corvair Monza occupies a special place in Chevrolet history as the brand’s bold attempt at a rear-engined, air-cooled layout. Introduced in the early 1960s, it stood apart from mainstream American cars of its era, offering responsive handling, compact proportions and a sporty driving style. The Monza trim level became particularly popular thanks to its upgraded interior features and stylish design elements. Today, the first-generation Corvair is appreciated by enthusiasts who value its distinctive engineering, light steering feel and enjoyable open-top cruising character. Its unique mechanical layout, combined with classic American styling, makes it a notable collectible for drivers seeking something different from the traditional V8-powered classics.
