Description of 1965 Chevrolet Corvair |
1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Coupe Corvair was the brainchild of Chevrolet General Manager Ed Cole, said Corvair Preservation Foundation historian Dave Newell and technical adviser Larry Claypool. Cole began the project in 1956, ordering parts and blueprints under the guise that it was for GM's Australian division, Holden. This is similar to the surreptitious development of the GTO package for the Pontiac LeMans. Cole considered front- and rear-engine placement and 4 and 6-cylinder air and water-cooled engines. He settled on a 140-cubic-inch, rear-mounted, flat 6, air-cooled engine, powering a 15-foot, five-passenger car. For consignment a 1 owner Corvair Monza. This car comes with extensive records even some telling of when gas was put into the car! A few faults around, but all the basics are there, and it remains an all original car save for an earlier exterior respray with a slight color change. This was the first year for the Fisher Z body and it addressed the Nader false accusation of the suspension being unsafe with a rear suspension that now resembled the Corvette. Exterior Interior Drivetrain Undercarriage Drive-Ability A 1 owner car who was very fastidious about the maintenance, and always kept this car in the garage. A respray with a few faults, and a nice original interior. Just a smidge of some TLC and you will have a fine working example of the 1965 Corvair Monza. Chevrolet's venture into the air-cooled rear engine sports car market.
