1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza review from North America
"Worth checking out if you want an uncommon collectable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Like most Corvair cars, this leaked oil, but after being repaired this has not been a problem.
The gas tank sending unit went bad, and that was not an easy or cheap fix.
General comments?
This car was way ahead of it's time, too bad they stopped making this car in 1969, it would be very interesting to see how this car would have evolved.
I love the way this car handles, the power is not the best, but will get the car up to 80 mph and beyond with little trouble.
I am impressed that a car this cheap when new, would be built so well.
Overall, this is a very neat and uncommon car, that is very affordable to get into. Parts are very easy to find, and the people in the Corvair clubs are very nice, and very helpful.
