<VV> 1968 Monza 140 4 speed Convertible for sale

[Elaine and Jack Kean]

I posted a few pictures of the car, the interior, and engine bay. 
Pictures of the outside are old, but represent the car.

Pictures can be found here: https://imgur.com/gallery/6yZhT

The price of the car is in the body of the advertisement (below). This 
car also has the high output heater fan motor with the proper relay 
installed.

Best regards,
jack kean

> Evening Orchid

> Bought to become a daily driver 13 years ago. Plan was to finish it with
> rebuilt suspension/steering/brakes, but life (family, then cancer) got
> in the way.
>
> Originally built by John Polacchi (Manton, California) with a slight
> custom applied (gas filler in trunk, door latches from 49 Lincoln, some
> removal of trim). I picked it up from a third party near Santa Barbara
> California with a "fresh" locally built engine, and new convertible top.
> A good 25 foot car. Always garaged. Have some of the history of the car
> from the original owner.
>
> Car devoured the OT10 cam shortly after I purchased it in 2004, which
> abruptly changed my plans. Sat in my garage for a number of years, then
> underwent rebuild of engine (with some advice from the late Ed Corson):
>   - 10/10 nitrided crank, 040 Forged pistons, recon rods with Arp bolts,
> h/p oil pump, deep seat heads (Fumio Fukaya), new valve train, including
> NOS factory 304 cam, balanced, real Dale distributor with Pertronix,
> SafeGuard knock control system, deflashed, all oil passages deburred and
> cleaned up (case halves, rear housing, crankshaft, ...), rebuilt
> carburetors, high output alternator, new plug wires, mounts and
> bushings. Probably more stuff than I remember at this point. Never got
> this engine completely sorted out.
>
> New fuel tank, including all hoses and sender, and external front mount
> electric fuel pump with inertia sensor and fuel pump controller (by
> David Heath). Rebuilt pressure plate (Larry Claypool), real Dale bolted
> flywheel, American aluminum 16" wheels with tires that no doubt will
> need to be replaced. Factory adjustable column (pre-1968 version) with
> decent wood steering wheel. 3.27 open differential, with Saginaw
> transmission. Corsa dash (working clock and factory CHT), with Autometer
> gauges below center console, plus dual CHT (still in box). The
> non-factory interior is nothing to write home about. Top was new in 2004.

> This is a complete car that ran and had proper registration/inspection
> when I stopped driving it in 2013. This is not a barn find.
> Engine/transaxle needs to be sorted then onto suspension, brakes,
> steering and finally the interior. Most parts listed as new were
> purchased and installed prior to 2010. The car has not been driven more
> than a few thousand miles (or less) since then.
>
> *$5000 *(a small fraction of what I have in it); includes all parts that I
> have acquired and a correct CoverCraft Corvair car cover.
>
> Second time I have sold everything and "left" the Corvair family (sold
> everything I had in 1991 to Chris Langley). Car has always been garaged
> in Arlington, Texas. I will find a picture or two and post them.
>
> I need the space to park my new 435i convertible.

> Someone needs to be driving this car when it turns 50.
