Up for auction is a 1965 Corvair Monza 110 Convertible. This is a very presentable and reliable automobile, and at 2650 pounds on a 108 inch wheelbase with a 56 inch track and fully independant front and rear suspension, is a really fun car to drive. The super reliable and low maintenance air-cooled flat 6 engine provides loads of torque and the 45/55 weight distribution makes for a great handler.
This car has been the wife's weekend fun car for a number of years and as such has been updated and well maintained. Within the last thousand miles the following have been done:
New trunk and engine compartment weatherstripping
Dual master cylinder installation for safety
New brakes all four corners
Replaced rear shocks, springs and bushings
Replaced cooling fan and bearing
New Distributor
New plug wires
Rebuilt carbs
Complete tune-up with points, rotor and condenser
Replaced fuel pump
Replaced engine compartment cooling valves
The overall condition is that of a very presentable driver. The tires have approximately 75% wear remaining and are not cracked. The paint was a respray from some point in the past and has held up well. There is no structural rust present and the crossmember is fine. There is some bubbling along the bottom of the drivers side rear quarter panel under the battery tray and is the usual on these cars. The engine cover has the usual minor bubbling along the lower lip and there are two tiny cracks in the paint along the top edge of the drivers door. The only rust through is in the battery tray under the battery in the engine compartment. The trunk area is solid and painted in the correct splatter pattern.
The interior is in perfect condition. No rips, tears, stains, wears, including the door panels. All seat belts are in perfect condition as well and the instrument panel has been redone and is in like new condition. All the lights, gauges, and warning lights work with the exception of the odometer which is not working. The turn signals work but need to be manually cancelled as the turn signal switch will not self-cancel.
The manual convertible top is in perfect condition as is the top mechanism, padding and rear window.
The car starts, runs and drives nicely, it uses no oil and the transmission shifts as it should. It is an all around modern looking , dependable classic car that gets lots of attention and one in which you wont be constantly meeting yourself coming from and going to the cruise ins.
Any further information required, feel free to submit any questions you may have and I'll be happy to try to answer them. My reserve is low, as my wife is no longer driving and the car needs a new home. Thanks and Happy Bidding.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
