This car was previously owned by someone in our local Cactus Corvair Club and this guy I got it from him back in 2004. It has several old dash plaques from CCC shows. I see some signs that this car may have been modified by Bob Coffin many years ago as some of the things I saw on this conversion look just like the other Toro V8 I have that Bob worked on at "The Shop" in Mesa.
The body tag indicates a 65 Monza PG with factory A/C. The hidden VIN matches too.
The car has many mods like a Corsa cluster with all VDO gauges except for the speedo. The odd badging seen in the pics will be comng off. Notice the crossed flags on the gas door and the Corsa emblems that were added in many places? Not my style. I also don't care for the half-moon headlight covers but those are all easy fixes.
The body looks solid and has a few paint chips and such but I like the glossy finish. I don't see any signs of collision damage and the only rust that was seen was a small hole under the battery box. I'm sure there is a little putty hiding under the paint somewhere. There always is after 50 years.
With a tranny fix and a couple of long weekends doing some clean-up/dress-up work up it will be a nice ride. I have several spare TH425 trannies so I should have the parts to make it all come together again.
