Front valance and rear deck-lid emblem Corvair Monza front fender emblem monza

Here's a rear three-quarter view to give you an idea of what the late model Corvair convertible looks like with the top and side windows raised. Note the Monza's rear cove area is not painted silver, like the Corsa model. However, the Monza shares with the Corsa, the same bright trim around the cove area. The bright metal fresh air grill trim on this car is not correct for the Monza, and is in fact a Corsa piece which has been attached to the stock body-colored Monza grill panel with contrasting silver painted air outlets. The Monza scheme was distinct from the base model Corvair 500 because of the silver paint on the air outlets. On the 500, the grill panel and air outlets were body color, as was the trim surrounding the cove area.

'66 and later 110 horsepower emblem

The twin pipes on the red convertible suggest a 140 horsepower engine, but that is not a 140 emblem on the engine's deck lid. It's a 110 emblem. Hmmm, is this a case of dual exhaust on a 110, or an engine swap without a change to the correct emblem?

Texas executive, Scott Netherton, considers his '65 Monza a fun car. Here it is with the top down, ready for action.

Scott added a contrasting pin-stripe (barely visible along the upper edges of the sides). It accentuates what has come to be recognized as the Coke bottle shape of the late model Corvair body.
