1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible - NO RESERVE

1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Description

For sale is an original 1964 Corvair Monza Convertible. As you can see in the pics, the body is rough and is in need of a lot of work - work that's beyond my capabilities. I recently purchased this car and it needed a bit more time and effort than I bargained for, so I'm offering it for a low starting bid and NO RESERVE! Prior owner painted it flat black - some sort of rat rod look...to each his own I guess... Lots of good parts here though, and the top is in great shape, The motor needs some work too, as it's got a weird noise and leaks some oil (I'm told the oil leak is quite common). Carbs should be rebuilt. But the car starts right up. Parking brake doesn't work, has a gas seep in the line up near the tank. I have paperwork from the prior owner dating back to 1998 - he replaced a lot of parts from Clarks Corvair Parts. It has the original 13 inch wheels with pretty good tires.
Please don't ask if you can drive this car home. I absolutely would not. It is a candidate for restoration by someone who knows their way around sheet metal and the mechanics of a motor/carbs and brakes. Purchase this car for parts as well - as the top, hubcaps, hood, trunk lid, chrome, tires, carpet and trim alone are worth far more than the cost of the starting bid.
Sold As-Is with no warranty or returns. Description is all I know about the car, and it'll come with the repairs paperwork I mentioned as well as a bill of sale (Maine does not title cars this old). It's currently in South Portland, Maine. $500 deposit within 24 hours of close of auction. Balance via cash, a bank check, or money order within 3 days.
Good luck!
