Chevrolet redesigned the Corvair in 1965, receiving the highest of praise from the automotive press.
Car and Driver’s
David E. Davis, Jr. declared it "the most beautiful car to appear in this country since before World War II."
Today, second-generation Corvairs, like this one, model years 1965-'69, represent a relatively affordable point of entry into the classic car hobby.The 1966 Monzas remained essentially unchanged from 1965. One notable change was a new four-speed synchromesh transmission using the standard Saginaw gear set with 3.11:1 first gear ratio used by other GM 6-cylinder vehicles. The steering column was changed to a two-piece design with a universal joint, lessening the danger of intrusion during a front-end collision (actually a mid-1965 running change). A plastic air dam was installed below the front valence panel to conceal the front suspension and under-body, and lessen crosswind sensitivity. In front, The “lock door” emblem was changed from red to blue and featured a shorter bar. The Corvair script nameplate was moved from atop the trunk lid to a position next to the driver’s side headlight bezel.
Though second-generation Corvairs shared their 108-inch wheelbase with earlier models, they were larger overall, gaining 3.3 inches in length and 2.7 inches in width. The stunning redesign hid this well, with both coupe and sedan models boasting hardtop styling with narrow A-pillars and slim C-pillars. Advertising emphasized the new Corvair’s “international flavor,” “longer, lower” silhouette, and “body-length streamline” as highlights, hinting that Chevrolet was attempting to broaden the model’s appeal. Further proof of this came in the restyled interior, which used higher-quality materials on Monza and Corsa trims.

Second-generation Corvairs have risen in value in recent years, yet remain a relative bargain when compared to pony cars of the period. This car is a fine example of an original survivor, with a racing stripe and blue highlights added as a Yenko tribute. Rare "Fawn" interior. The wheels are 15" Monte Carlo Rally wheels. The sale includes the original wheels and hub caps. Over 00 in service & upgrade receipts. I have more toys than time, so this vair needs a new home
