<VV> The Zabreskie Monza Rides Again!

[peter koehler]

Today I took my silver blue 1963 Monza 4-door sedan out 
for a spin around the block. Not too exciting a news 
report - except that this car hadn't moved under it's own 
power since Jimmy Carter was President!

The car was sold new by Zabreskie Chevrolet in Patterson, 
NJ to the owner's sister. She drove it for a few years and 
then traded it back in at her brother's dealership. For 
some reason they never re-sold the Monza. It had a little 
over 16k miles when it was traded in. Today it just turned 
16,580 miles on the clock!

What a time capsule! This car is just like a two year old 
used Corvair that you might have seen on the lot back in 
1965. It is a very solid and rides just like Ed Cole 
envisioned when he brought our favorite car to market.

I won't be able to get it down to the convention this 
year, but it will probably make it to the DACC Homecoming 
in August and might even see duty at the Woodward Dream 
Cruise with some very special guests driving it! I love 
all Corvairs - but this one has got to be one of the best 
I've had the pleasure to own. I'd like to thank some 
friends in the NJACE club: Tim Schwartz and Bob Marlow for 
helping me arrange the purchase of this fine automobile. 
It took almost a dozen years, but it was well worth the 
wait. Thanks!! - Caveman Pete
