[FC] '66 140 Monza Coupe FS - IL

[J R Read_HML]

My nephew who lives in Arizona has come to the conclusion that he needs to 
let his coupe go.  He's not had a lot of drive time on it over the past two 
years or so.  Just on those occasions where he comes back to IL for a visit, 
wedding, what have you.

He is in AZ - the car is in IL - in his Mom's garage.  To contact him (Jon 
Read) directly, the email is: jonfread at cox.net

What I can tell you off the top of my head...and you would need to verify my 
comments with him.

Was taken to bare metal about 6 (or so) yrs back.  Paint is "Dark Cherry 
Metallic" - a '96 Impala color.  Quite pretty.

I'd call it about a class 3 car (or very close) as it sits today.  The 
interior (black) probably needs some (not a lot) of attention and the radio 
is missing.  The tabs are bent down as there was a non-stock radio in the 
car.  But, if you want to go stock, the tabs have not been cut off.  It has 
a Corsa dash (it is a Monza) with a (very recently) non-working speedo.  In 
fact, it broke when I was driving it and probably has less than 100 miles 
since that happened.  I had to "steal" it out of his Mom's garage in order 
to get home one night when my Rampy broke down in her area.

The engine is a 140 - strong running, but you will have to get details from 
him about any work that might have been done and if it has any oil 
consumption or not.  Exhaust are those long chrome pipes that come straight 
out the back.

Jon (and his Dad - my brother, now deceased) did a lot of work on this car. 
My brother was a mechanical engineer and worked with engines a good deal of 
time.  VWs, airplanes, other "stuff", so I feel he knew what he was doing 
around air cooled engines.

Tires?  Relatively new, but I don't know details.  Contact him direct with 
any question.
