Overview of 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza For Sale by Owner

Famous for all the wrong reasons, the Chevrolet Corvair has been relegated to being one of American automotive history’s pariahs. This was majorly due to its presence in Ralph Nader’s book titled “Unsafe At Any Speed”. Yes, the Corvair’s swing-axle rear suspension and unconventional tire pressure settings does mean that it can catch out its driver, but that also means you should drive it in a sensible, rather than silly fashion. On the same token, we shouldn’t be driving cars at all, or even walking for that matter if its unsafe to be in any form of speed. Plus, if the Corvair was really that dangerous, would you find examples like this 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible for sale today? Up for sale from Indianapolis, this 83,987-mile car is living proof that the Corvair isn’t the killer widow-maker that Nader made it out to be. This car comes with the original owner’s guide, a 164ci flat six, a manual gearbox, and a spare tire lock key too.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in yellow and capped off with a black canvas drop top, this 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible cuts a fine dash with its dual headlamps, grille-less front and luggage rack. You see, its engine is in the rear, and it’s air-cooled too! We’re told that there an aftermarket front trunk rubber, but everything else is more or less true to original. Come along now, how could this be dangerous? The black interior of this 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible comes with black leather bucket seats up front and a similarly upholstered bench seat directly behind. After all, the Corvair was meant to be a family car. This car’s interior remains unspoiled by any visible aftermarket accoutrements or chop-chop modifications, too.

Engine

There’s a 164ci Turbo-Air flat-six in the tail of this 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible. The air-cooled unit breathes and feeds via dual Rochester single-barrel carburetors. A 4-speed manual gearbox sends drive to the rear swing axle, in a similar fashion to a Volkswagen Beetle! And that car sold over 21 million units worldwide! So, if you still aren’t convinced that the Chevy Corvair isn’t the bad guy it’s been made out to be, it’s time you paid a visit to Indy and checked out this car in person.
