Alright...I looked again (like a bad accident on the side of the road)

I'm going with the "started life as a 63 Monza Vert..." Notice the 63 trim
buttons glued on the door panels and the most awesome....the 63 seat pattern
"showing" thru the new material OVERLAYED over the stock
upholstery.....(look at the seat bottoms)

The radio bezel is also 63...

I love this car...the more I look at it...I wouldn't own it..but love it
none the less....

I was trying to figure out the original year as well, but so many various
parts are mix and match...

The dash is off a 63, the turn signal lenses are amber, again a 63 thing (vs
the "white" 62) but the tail lights are 62 and the 63 Corvair trim isn't
present next the drivers side headlight.

The trunk engine bay doesn't tell me anything either other than is isn't a
64...

The "custom" upholstery and interior trim parts are different...

The tail lights are 62-style.  The info is wrong about Convertibles.  The
VIN has been probably changed.  The paint is not original.  (Looks like
someone used Adobe Beige house paint.)  There is no trim.  The front lights
are 63-64.

I'd laugh except some poor sucker will buy it.
