2001: A Corvair Odyssey
At right, we see the modified interior of a 1962 Monza owned by Gregory Englin of Aurora, Illinois. Greg replaced the standard Monza dash which had only a speedometer and fuel gauge, and replaced it with the more complete instrumentation provided by a Spyder dash panel. Further personalization included installing a matching brushed chrome Spyder glove box door and updating the radio. |
Above, the Nassau Blue '62 is fitted with 1960 Corvair Monza full wheel covers to which 1958-60 Chevrolet accessory 3-blade spinners are attached. All other trim on this car is correct for 1962. |
Above, the turbo-charged 1964 Corvair Monza Spyder, which, when road tested by Car and Driver magazine was described as an "absolute honey." The '64 is prized by collectors because it was the most highly developed and best handling of the early models. Improvements in '64 included a standard front sway bar, the addition of a stabilizing transverse-mounted leaf spring to the rear suspension, a larger 12-plate oil cooler and an improved clutch and pressure plate design. |
