Few cars offered turbocharged power in the early and mid-1960s, but Chevrolet had such a vehicle, with its Corvair Monza Convertible. One of 31,045 Monza 900 Convertible made in 1964, this example features a rebuilt turbocharged engine with approximately 1,000 miles on it.

Assembled in GM’s Willow Run, Michigan factory and sold at Jack Dankel Chevrolet in Allentown Pennsylvania, this car has undergone a comprehensive restoration and features new paint, interior and carpet.
The Seafoam paint and trim are in overall excellent order. There is a minor blemish on the driver’s side rear fender near the cutline for the door. The bodywork is straight and solid, the factory black, power-folding convertible top is in very good order, the engine bay is extremely tidy, the battery appears new and the cargo area is good, original order with a spare wheel and tire. The car’s chrome bumpers are in great condition.
The Corvair rolls on new BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, size P225/60R15 at all four corners, mounted on factory rally wheels, which are in very good shape.
Out back, under the vented hood is a rebuilt, turbocharged 164 CID air-cooled, flat six-cylinder engine with MSD ignition. Backing this motor is a four-speed manual transmission.
Inside, the new black vinyl interior is in overall very good order. The front buckets and rear seats are in excellent condition, as is the matching carpet. The factory two-spoke steering wheel is in very good order, as is the instrument panel with its full instrumentation and silver gauge surrounds plus its dual cockpit styling theme, borrowed from the 1963 Corvette. The inner door panels are in similar condition. The floor-mounted shifter is topped with a white ball. A factory AM/FM stereo completes the interior.
The Corvair is quite possibly the most overlooked and underappreciated modern Chevrolet. For 1964, significant engineering changes occurred, while the model lineup and styling remained relatively unchanged. The engine displacement was increased from 145 to 164 CID due to an increase in stroke. Corvair Monzas could easily be identified by their wider, rocker panels; inverted, cross-shaped insignias mounted behind the front wheel housings; full wheel covers; trim moldings along front and rear wheel cutouts. Map pockets were standard on front door linings; standard equipment included everything found on 700 Series models; rear armrests; reverse lights; deluxe steering wheel with chrome horn ring; and glovebox light plus front bucket seats.
In 1964, an improvement in the car’s swing axle rear suspension occurred with the addition of a transverse leaf spring along with softer rear coil springs designed to diminish rear roll stiffness and foster more neutral handling. Spring rates could now be softer at both ends of the car compared to previous models. The heavy-duty suspension was no longer optional, although all models now had a front anti-roll bar as standard. Brakes were improved with finned rear drums.
Despite a vastly improved 1964 model, Corvair sales declined by close to 80,000 units that year. This was attributed to a number of factors, including the basic styling being five years old, the lack of a pillarless hardtop (which virtually all competing compact models had), the lack of a V-8 engine and the introduction of the Ford Mustang on April 17, which broke all records for sales of a new model (and ate into Corvair sales).
Competition to this Corvair in 1964 include Austin-Healy’s 3000 Mk. II, Buick’s Special Convertible, Chevrolet’s own Chevelle Convertible (which was new-for-1964), Dodge’s Dart GT Convertible, Ford Falcon Futura Convertible and Mustang Convertible, Oldsmobile’s F-85 Cutlass Convertible, Plymouth Valiant Signet Convertible and Pontiac’s LeMans Convertible.
If you’re seeking one of the more unorthodox vehicles to ever emerge from an American corporation, this Corvair fills the bill. You should stop by today to check it out today.
