1962 Monza
convertible
| In March
of 1998, I was looking for a classic car to fix up and found in a small
used car lot in Dayton, Ohio, the 1962 Monza convertible pictured below.
It was advertised as a car that ran well and had a "good top."
The car did run, but only for a few minutes, after which it died and
would not restart. The incident helped me negotiate a good price, and
later, after getting the car home on a trailer, I discovered it had
stopped running because it was out of gas!
One drive in the old classic and I was hooked, in spite of a vibration that was caused by an old riveted flywheel that was on its way to failure. I bought some parts, dropped the engine and drive train, and eliminated the vibration. Later, I went to work on the body and ended up with the handsome convertible you see here. |
