Chevrolet introduced the compact Corvair in 1960 thanks to the public’s interest in economy imports. It was a radical car by American standards – a rear-mounted, air-cooled six-cylinder engine and four-wheel independent suspension – among the many unusual features. The Corvair quickly turned from economy car to low-priced sports car with the introduction of the bucket-seat equipped Monza in 1961 followed by the turbocharged Monza Spyder in 1962. Power is supplied by a 164-cid horizontally-opposed and air-cooled six-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 150-hp while mated to a four-speed manual transmission.
This is one of just 6,480 Monza Spyder Coupes built for 1964 and is described as a “great original car.” Wearing an Ermine White exterior over a red vinyl interior, it is equipped with an AM radio and wire wheel covers with spinner centers.
