The seller offers for sale a Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible from 1963, powered by a 2.4 litre air-cooled flat-six petrol engine producing around 102 hp, paired with a 2-speed Powerglide automatic gearbox. This car was imported from the United States in 2017 and subsequently received classic vehicle certification in Spain, where it passed inspection and remains road-legal. It is described as being used regularly and running well, with stable starting, no blue or white smoke when warm, and no unusual engine or gearbox noises. The exterior is finished in dark red paint with well-kept chrome, while the interior is presented in wine red with period-style bucket seats and original dashboard instrumentation. Minor age-related rust is noted on the fenders, along with a small dent on the rear bumper.
This Corvair is equipped with a soft top. The fabric shows light signs of use but remains watertight, and the folding mechanism is reported to function correctly, with only minor resistance that may benefit from light lubrication. No hardtop is included.
The Chevrolet Corvair occupies a unique place in American automotive history. Introduced at the end of the 1950s, it stood apart from other US cars thanks to its rear-mounted, air-cooled engine and independent suspension on all four wheels. The Monza version added a sportier image with improved trim and equipment, appealing to a younger audience seeking style and character. Today, the Corvair Monza Convertible is appreciated for its unconventional engineering, smooth cruising manners, and unmistakable 1960s design, making it an interesting and conversation-starting classic.
