Thanks, Dave.  
 
Can anyone tell from the photo of the engine compartment how stock that  
appears to be?

Hi Bill,
We know the car's history through Pete Cimbala who  was acquainted with the 
original owner's family. It was offered on eBay  last year by a slick 
collector car dealer.  
Yes, it would be great to document the stock details on the car.  
Unfortunately the stock underside of the car was ruined by a schlocky, used  car lot 
application of black and silver paint before it went on eBay. The  original 
owner lived on a farm and drove the car on gravel and dirt roads to  his 
house, which dinged up the underside of the car. The collector car  dealer's 
two-bit detail job tried to cover up the damage but made the car  worse, not 
better.  
The entire underside is painted black so there's no red oxide primer or red 
 paint showing (including partly sprayed springs & shocks). Except for what 
 they painted silver and the bottom of the trunk (which looks like it as a  
complete coat of fresh red paint on it) they hit everything in black. The 
PG  pan, exhaust system, axle shafts (!!), front suspension linkage, gas tank 
and  strap etc. all got shot in silver, likely from a spray can. If anyone 
wants to  return the underside to stock it will cost them some bucks and a 
LOT of  time. 
Dave

and type "Corvair" into the model search.  This should take you  to a  list 
of two Corvairs, one of which is a 3,000 mile all original  '63 Monza 
coupe. 
Wouldn't it be great if one of us could track down  the  new owner and get 
his/her permission to document this  car?!
