I decided to sell my 1961 Corvair Monza 900.

I have had it about 8 years and have not gotten close to rebuilding the engine and have no idea when I will have the time, money or tools to do it. So, I am lettin git go at about a $2000 loss. :( I shook hands on a deal today to let it go for $1000.

Here's a 1961 Corvair Brochure. Sweet stuff. Did you know the Corvair came as a coupe, 4-door, convertible, pick-up truck,

8 passenger van,

station wagon

AND an RV!? Yes, a Corvair Ultra Van RV!

It was the 1960 Car of the Year. First car in the US with independent suspension and later the first mass produced turbo charged car. It's still a popular car for SCCA racing. It's a well supported car if you are thinking of getting one. You can get any part imaginable from performance to NOS easily and actually cheaply.

I'll miss it. It was nice taking a spin tonight and picking up and old country staion in Cinninati and listening to Loretta Lynn and Tennessee Ernie Ford... I wish I were a richer man to be able to have a vintage cruiser...
