[NoVa-Corvairs] 1965 Monza for sale

[John McMahon]

Hi, Greg!  Good  to hear from you.  Let me give some more info about the
car:

 

1) Located in Front Royal

2) 1965 Monza 2 door hardtop; pretty much stripped down, but with engine and
wheels installed; the rest is in my basement

3) 110 engine with 4 speed; not running at the moment, but I drove it around
my neighborhood shortly after I got it

4) comes with most of a 140 motor (minus the heads)

5) comes with a pair of 95 HP heads that I was planning to use when I
rebuilt the engine

6) comes with a box of new parts, including an Ignitor ignition, new
headlights, new taillight lenses, and a bunch of smaller parts 

7) the body is mostly bare metal; the roof has primer on it

8) needs fairly extensive welding on both rear quarter panels

9) has been largely rust-proofed, and/or rusty metal replaced with new

10) has a new brake master cylinder and brake lines installed

11) has 15" wheels, but I've still got the originals

12) no air conditioning

 

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.  Basically, I did a lot of
work on the big, important structural issues, and got it to the point where
I was finishing up the welding and getting ready for filler/primer/paint,
and then the huge task of putting it all back together.  That's the point
when my wife's health took a turn for the worse (lots of intestinal/colon
issues), along with our finances, and I literally haven't had a spare moment
(or penny) to work on the Corvair for about four years now.  Anyway, we need
to move soon, so the Corvair must go.  The upshot is that there is still a
LOT of work left, mostly involving cosmetics and putting the whole thing
back together again.  This is not a project for the faint of heart, but if
someone out there has the time, money and skills necessary, it's definitely
doable.

 

Gotta go crash now.  I hope all is well with you and the whole gang!

 

Thanks,

 

John

Hi, John!  I hope things are going well with your wife's recovery.  You may
want to send the list a 2nd email w/the engine trans combo (110/4 speed?), 2
door/4 door?, interior and exterior colors, any special options, like air
conditioning, etc.  Also, where is the car located.  If I remember
correctly, you are in Front Royal, no?  Good luck!  Greg
