1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder
The rarest and most collectable of the Corvair’s are the Monza Spyders! The Monza Spyder came equipped with the 150hp Turbocharged 164ci Flat-6, something Porsche would become famous for over a decade later! The air cooled engine sat aft of the passenger compartment and provided extra traction to the rear wheels. They came standard with manual folding convertible top, dual sunvisors, heavy duty clutch, directional signals, heater/defroster, locking glove box, front arm rest, and a cigar lighter.
The beautiful 1964 Corvair Monza Spyder seen here is finished in Riverside Red with Black Vinyl interior and White convertible top. Including all the standard features, this car is very well optioned with 4-Speed manual, Posi-Trac Differential, Heavy Duty Air Cleaner, Heavy Duty Generator, Comfort/Convenience Equipment, Padded Dash, AM Radio, Deluxe Wire Wheel Covers, 2-speed electric wipers, and wood steering wheel. This car also has a rare full Spyder dash with Speedometer, Tachometer, Fuel Level, Manifold Pressure (boost gauge), Cylinder Temperature, and warning lights. Front driver and passenger Seat belts along with full size spare tire, jack and tool. Finned aluminum performance oil pan and valve covers by Clark’s Corvair have been installed and offer better cooling, higher oil capacity, and strengthen the engine block. A Crane Fireball ignition module was also installed along with a fireball coil and points. Also comes with several advertisements from 1960’s as well as owner’s manual and records all nicely organized in a binder.
This Corvair Monza Spyder is in wonderful original condition. Having had only one repaint, and still having its factory installed interior, it is a wonderful testament to how well this car was cared for. Having spent its life in dry southern climates it was stored in climate controlled environments in a prominent collection until 2012. The car was recently treated to a mechanical freshening, that included a new exhaust system, rebuild of the turbo charger and carburetor, new K&N air filter, new weather striping, new spark plugs and wires, new fuel filter, new belts, new 185/70R13 tires, new brake master cylinder and misc brake parts. This is an excellent driving car, and in great working order. All the gauges function, lights work, horn and wipers operate as they should and so on. Very solid southern car, with what appears to be all original sheet metal; if you look you can see the factory spot welds at the seams, a seldom seen but always appreciated trait! Lots of fun to drive or show, and when that turbo kicks in hold on!
