No Reserve: 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder Turbo

This 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder is a rear-engined convertible powered by an air-cooled and turbocharged 164ci flat-six paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The rust-free body was treated to a repaint and features accompanying good-condition brightwork for the moldings and trim, as well as a replacement black vinyl top with a storage boot. Finished in Goldwood Yellow over a reupholstered black vinyl interior, this first-generation Corvair is now offered with documentation, an owner’s guide, and a clear Arizona title in the seller’s name.

The Corvair compact car was manufactured in two generations between model years 1960 and 1969 on the Z-body platform using a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine design and being available in a variety of body styles. This Corvair comes from the last model year of the first generation and was repainted in Goldwood Yellow (943) with accenting chrome brightwork for the bumpers, grille, rocker panel moldings, and a single outlet exhaust at the passenger side. The body is said to be straight and rust-free, featuring a replacement contrasting black vinyl retractable top with a snap-on boot.

Steel wheels with full bright covers are mounted to tires with good tread remaining. For 1964, the swing axle rear suspension received updates with the addition of a transverse leaf spring along with softer rear coil springs. Braking was improved as well thanks to the incorporation of finned rear drums.

The interior is fitted with Black (712) vinyl fold-forward bucket seat upholstery, color-matched to the door panels, dash, and carpeting. The dash has brushed aluminum face plates with a scripted Corvair logo, and equipment includes manual-crank windows, a cue-ball style shift knob, and a three-spoke aluminum steering wheel. The car omits HVAC and audio systems, offering a blank dash opening for the aforementioned controls.

Instrumentation is housed within an aluminum bezel and includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and more. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 66,772 miles, although true mileage on the chassis is unknown.

The rear-mounted turbocharged 164ci flat-six was rated at 150 horsepower and resides in an engine bay with chrome dress-up items. Power is directed to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission.
