This 1965 Monza convertible was built at the Van Nuys assembly plant and remained in Southern California until being driven to New Jersey in the late 1990s. But once there it was parked under cover, and was never driven again. As a result it remains solid and un-rusted. (Click any of the photos for an enlarged view.)
140-hp, 4-speed, all tinted glass. The car was disassembled by the New Jersey owner but he never went any further. The car just sat. Thousands of dollars in NEW Clark’s parts, including a complete new interior and a new convertible top, were ordered and come with the car. Numerous other parts as removed from the car are included. This car needs total reassembly but is well worth it. Solid original floors, rocker panels, and door jambs.
During this past year the car suffered damage to the right rear quarter panel in a freak accident – a driver ran off the road and crashed into an adjacent dumpster and pushed the dumpster into the Corvair.
Thousands of dollars in NEW Clark’s parts, including a complete new interior and a new convertible top, come with the car. A full list of the included parts appears at the bottom of this listing. Note that the new Clark's upholstery has been installed on rebuilt seats.This car is solid where it matters: The rocker panels, door jambs, floor and cowl. There is evidence of non-structural rust at the bottom of the left rear quarter panel. The bottom of the trunk shows evidence of prior repair.
There is no title but there is a Bill of Sale signed by the owner and a California document stating that the car is no longer in the California system.
In case it is not obvious to you, this car must be transported by trailer or truck – it does not run and is not currently road worthy.
Here is the information on the body tag:
Here is a list of the NEW parts included with the car (click to enlarge):
Everything on this list is NEW Clark's parts, except the tinted glass which is original. The value of the new parts alone exceeds $3,600. The asking price for the whole package, the car and all the parts, is just $1,800. A great opportunity to save a convertible without having to undertake extensive rust repair. This car is being sold by the New Jersey Association of Corvair Enthusiasts on behalf of the owner, and is located close to I-80 near Dover. Contact the club’s representative via this link.
