<VV> FS: 1961 Monza sedan REDUCED - $950 - Dallas area

[Matthew Hine]

Hi all -- last post on this I promise:  I wanted to mention that I'm reducing the asking price on my '61 Monza 4-door below to $950 from the original $2000 asking price.  There's a lot more value in the car than that, but I'm ready to get it out of my driveway, so hopefully somebody can find some use in it.

Email me if you have any questions.


Regards,
Matt

It's beautifully-running everyday driver's car, but I was recently was caught in a freeway pile-up causing extensive damage to both the front and rear. The body and frame are damaged to the point where I don't think repair is worthwhile, but I've put so much into the car mechanically that surely it must be useful to other Corvair lovers, to help restore another car at the least.

It is a salvage title and I'm selling as-is, but the engine/transmission would make an excellent transplant into another car and there are a lot of valuable parts here that could be used for a restore.  See the list below for a full run-down.  I've included a link to many pictures at the bottom as well.
