1965 Monza Sport Sedan Survivor

This 1965 Corvair Monza sedan is offered by an NJACE member in East Orange, New Jersey.  It is a two-owner survivor with just under 40,000 miles.  Twelve photos appear below, click any photo for an enlarged view.

Since 2020 it has been driven two thousand miles by the seller; prior to that time it had been parked since 1988.  All the previous mileage was from the original owner. 

It has a wide range of new parts installed during the past three years, purely for safety and drivability, nothing fancy.  There are additional items that the seller didn't get around to installing (see below).

It has a clean, current NJ title in the seller’s name, and is been insured by Hagerty.

It has some minor rust issues in the usual spots for a Corvair, plus a noticeable patch on the passenger-side rear door (shown in one of the photos below), and it could use a fresh paint job to escape obvious survivor status. The interior is in pretty good shape, with a fixable tear in each of the front seats. The alternator was recently replaced but needs to be checked out and adjusted or possibly replaced again. Otherwise, it's a solid local driver with modest restoration potential for anyone with the time, patience, and money for owning a unique classic car.












NEW SINCE 2020: 15-inch wheels and tires; TPMS; fuel tank; fuel pump; master cylinder; muffler; starter; regulator; alternator; battery and tray; flasher; oil pan gaskets, bolts, and drain plug; rearview mirror; seat belts; headlights; floor mats; antenna; locking gas cap; car cover –  almost all from Clark's Corvair Parts.

NEW PARTS TO INSTALL: Weatherstripping kit; side mirrors; retro Bluetooth radio and stereo speakers –  all from Clark's Corvair.

ASKING: $6500, including new parts above plus random souvenirs, like the original sales receipt, tires, and retro ventilated seat covers.
