    my dad had one of these in 1964. he let me drive it to the high school dance.
    guys that had cars in those days were the gods of the school . one of my best buddies had a new GTO with a Hurst 3 speed on the floor and my other buddy got to drive his dads jet black Corvette .
    wow were we lucky !

    I go all the way back to 1960 with Corvairs. Ordered my first at 18 in '63....black on black convertible Monza. Later picked up a used '64 Spyder convertible yellow on black. It's in my barn...my retirement fund.

    Oh Yeah!! Upon high school graduation, my folks handed the keys of a 65’ Corvair Monza 4 speed coupe over to me( my first car ).. ! Lots of fun indeed! Actually, a very affordable classic in today’s market place.. There still remains the Corsa Club of America for Corvair enthusiasts! Also, Clark’s Corvair parts in Massachusetts is your resource for thousands of replacement parts!

    Had a 1962 the same color combination and loved it. Difference was that we knew how to drive back then and didn’t use excuses for our own mistakes.

    We had a regular Corvair but it just didn't have enough power to pass easily; you really had to wait your chance. We upgraded to the Monza Spyder, and that had all the get up and go you needed and then some. Yes, you needed to keep a spare fan belt; but in a pinch a pair of panty hose would do well enough to get you to where you could get a proper belt. The front end was a bit too light, but a small sack of cement or sand would take care of that.

    We had one of those back in the mid 70's and my Dad thought it sounded like a cream separator was in the trunk when we were on the highway! It was a fun car, but he only kept it for about a year or so. He gave something like $75 for it on an auction and sold it for $400.
