Best Vehicle Ever
So, at the insistence of Dr. Kluthe, I am creating my first post. And it shall be about my newest acquisition: a 1962 Corvair Monza.
That's right, I now have a third Corvair. But this one's an early model. (For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about the body style of 1960-64 Corvairs is different from the body style of 1965-69 Corvairs. My other two Corvairs are a '65 Monza and a '67 Monza.)
It's Twilight Blue with a Twilight Blue interior. 1962 was actually the first year for that color, and not even the early model expert from my local Corvair club knew it existed that year. (The color name was changed to Azure Aqua in 1963.)
She has factory air-conditioning, an automatic transmission, tinted windows, and a padded dash. In May of 1962 she cost $2,950. As far as we know she was the most expensive Corvair when she was new out of all of the 9 Corvairs at our house.
So what if there's no floors, a fair amount of rust, and a bunch of dents. I think she's great! And I can't wait to restore her to exactly how she was when she rolled out of the factory in 1962.
