Here's my 4 speed 110 hp '65 Monza convertible that finally got me behind
the wheel of a Corvair again!



I wish I had bit the bullet a long time ago, and not waited...

 

If there's any way to get a Corvair, you'll be glad you did!'

I was renting too many new cars while I was trying to fix up my '67, and was
never as happy as I am now!!!

John, Gerald & JR:

 

Around 1978 or 1979 I worked with a guy who ordered a brand new Dodge Aspen.
One side had Dodge Aspen trim and the other side of the car had Plymouth
Volare' trim!  This made me wonder about the quality control of Mopar
products. I stuck with the 4 speed 110 hp '65 Monza convertible I had at the
time.  I sure miss that car.

Naaaw.... Would not have gotten past the quality inspector.  Well, unless it
was Monday or Friday - or maybe one of those other days in-between..

 

Later, JR
