I Folks,
I received an email from a woman who is trying to sell her father's  car. 
He is 84 years old. He and his wife requires home care from their  daughter. 
I went out to see the car today. My observations are below her  description.
 
1963 Chevy Corvair Monza 2-Dr. Coupe
Mileage-91000.
102 HP, I  think Couldn't make out the motor number
Color-Maroon/burgundy exterior,  black interior. 
automatic transmission. (motor will not  run/seized).
Not much rust on the body, interior, or motor.  It has  been kept in a 
garage-but not cranked in years.
Exterior paint is fair.  Windows are not cracked, good condition.  All the 
trim and logos are  still on the car.  Replaced front headlight.  New front 
trunk  latch.  
Black interior seats have one seam on the driver's seat that  has come 
loose-not a tear, otherwise the seats are intact. Black Carpet still  looks good 
and clean.
Door panels intact. Needs a headliner.  Dash looks  good-all parts present.
Body and interior in overall good condition.
 
Here are my additional comments: On the plus side, there is a set  of 
original early style wire wheel covers that look like all they need is  cleaning. 
Also, the glass may be tinted. It was hard to tell with the car  in the 
garage. The car was originally white and repainted a color that is  close to 
the Palomar red. The engine will not turn by hand. He claims his wife  drove 
it for several years, and it was running when he put it in the garage to  
restore at a later date. It looks like it was last driven in 1979. The 
underside  of the floors has some rust, but I didn't see any rust thru. The trunk  
floor and the battery tray looks like they have been repaired. They are  
asking $1200.00 OBO. The car is located in Powder Springs, GA. If anyone is  
interested, please contact me. The daughter is very busy taking care of her  
parents and holding down a job. I am including a picture of it. If you are  
interested, I can email more.
