Need someone to look at Corvair in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin
Posted by: Tom Rahochik ()
Date: August 26, 2022 06:18PM

A gentleman here in Westminster, MD is interested in purchase of a 1966 Monza 110
convertible, 4 speed on E-bay. It is light blue with light blue interior and
white top. It is located at a dealer called ThrottleStop and their phone
number is 920-876-2277. The mileage shown in the advertisement is about 31K.
Is there anyone that can assist us and make an inspection of this Corvair?

Not a bad looker. Clearly had some custom work done by a prior owner like the Corsa dash installed into a Monza, gauges above the radio and the 1965 front trim.

BTW...since the dash has very clearly been replaced they should stop claiming that 31K miles is the original mileage. No way that can be true.

Also, the Fisher Body tag has been reattached so I would ask to see photos of the VIN tag too. I didn't see that in the included photos. I would also ask for underbody pics including the trunk floor and the door sills/rockers.

Yes, that is the one! Dave has pointed out some good issues that should lead to
a good vehicle inspection. The gentleman interested in this vehicle is more
concerned with the mechanical and body condition than in originality. It does
appear to be a good looker but a good close inspection should tell the truth
about its true condition. Hoping that someone in the area can help with this
inspection endeavor........

The addition of dual vacuum gauges is not something you see every day.

would love see what someone has to say about this after personal inspection!
Anyone?

Absolutely cannot call out this as 31K original miles with
a changed dash and obvious repaint.
Car looks fantastic though!

If the car has been completely gone through and is turn key with no hidden
rust I'd say the car is priced right.

I'd help here but I'm 4 hours away in WI. Maybe someone in Madison or MKE would be a good option.

I’m about an hour away. What’s your time frame and how thoroughly do you want the car inspected? Feel free to PM me.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Museum at Throttle Stop in July, it is only about 2 miles North of Road America in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin,and both are about an hour North of Milwaukee. If you are interested in a Corvair, you may wish to turn it into a road trip, you can also visit the race track in addition to the museum.
I purchased at 1946 Nimbus motorcycle from them, the owners and managers were most professional and the operation seems to be first class.
