Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll let my hubby read your posts (he does not use the computer).

Has anyone had success in using an electronic ignition instead of points and condenser in a 1963 monza distributor?

Here's our 1967 El Corvair for consideration. The conversion was done by a previous owner. When we purchased this car in November of 2010, it looked good from a distance, but that was about all. My husband, who is a retired UMWA coal miner, did all of the restoration himself. My only contribution wa...

Hi Everyone! I have recently purchased a 1967 Corvair Monza Sport Coupe that is in reasonably good condition - body wise and it presently runs well(?). I am interested in finding someone locally (within 50 miles of Pittsburgh) who might be able to help me appraise / prioritize what needs to be done...

Welcome ! Very cool Corvair and it looks great in silver. Maybe I'll get to see it sine we're on 57 miles apart. I'm near Pittsburgh....

Hi Everyone, I have a 68 Monza and its steering wheel does not have the brushed metal trim covering the spokes. It does have the correct "Monza" horn button. Does anyone know if some 68 Monzas came from the factory without this trim piece? Thanks. I have a 1968 corvair steering wheel on m...

OK... It looks like we need another car to get the voting underway. Here's my '65 Monza 110 PG. It's been driven over 10,000 miles since we purchased it in September of last year. I've replaced the windshield, added a set of 15" Olds rally wheels, seats from a Chrysler Sebring convertible and ...

Hi, my husband and I are 60 miles south of Pittsburgh and are new corvair owners too. We joined the Western Pennsylvania Corvair Club which is located in the Pittsburgh area. If you are interested, I can send you more info about the club.

Here's a link to some before and after pics of our 1967 el Corvair. It's coming together quite well. Let me know what you think. p.s. The trunk is all done too, just didn't take pics yet.

Do you trailer your car to Detroit or do you drive it all that way? The trunk should be done tomorrow. Ran out of speckled paint and parts store had to order more. I'll take a picture after rubber gets put on. My husband has really been working night and day to get this car done. We are not sure wha...

looks a lot nicer than the one I bought from PA...see Pennsylvania bondo bucket in members ride thread :banghead: Don't let the pictures fool you. The floor had so much rust that my husband cut the floor out and welded the floor from our parts car into it. The car was originally done in the early 1...

DSC06968.JPG DSC07018.JPG DSC06973.JPG I forgot to mention that the insides of the bed when we got it were all done in plastic. There was a street glow lighting system that had the lights flashing to the beat of the radio. We eliminated them. The sides are all steel that my husband welded in. The t...

I'm dying to see the more recent pics, this is a really cool custom! I do know of at least one other late model Corvair that has been made into an El Camino type car, but it was done much differently than this one. Your title got me excited but I'm about as far from you as possible and still be in ...
