1965 Chevy Corvair Monza sedan for $800! And it runs! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It’s also a manual! I already have plans for it in my head. I’d love to have an old classic, and something as unique as a rear engined Chevy sedan would be awesome.

That’s a good price even if you just want to flip it. I bought a ‘69 2 door that wasn’t nearly that nice for $800 and sold it for $2400. They’re fun little cars, and by the time you got to the second generation they had regular independent rear suspension instead of swing arms, so the handling was no longer weird, just good.

They’re shockingly modern feeling to drive. They ride nice, even with four wheel drums they brake well, and their lack of power steering isn’t a problem with the rear engine.

Clarks Corvair Parts will become your best friend in the world.

Oh! And if you're taller than 5 foot 3 you'll likely need seat rail extenders, which are readily available.

Watch the Top Gear US episode on the Corvair. You’ll better understand the handling characteristics.

I always thought the seats looked too close to the steering wheel on these older cars

My dad thought it was a little close with the seat all the way back, and he’s 5 foot 3.

Clark’s sells a set of rail extenders that work great, you only need one set for a bench seat or one set per bucket.

Ad doesn’t say but if it is a Florida car like I think it is, there shouldn’t be any rust either. It’s really tempting. Seems like I wouldn’t lose much of anything if I get it. Classic car registration is dirt cheap in Florida compared to new and insurance is $250 a year.

It’s not missing. It’s just a little lost.
