Good price for a cool car. I'm sure that fan belt doesn't stop twitching for an hour after .you remove it
Hahahaha....yeah, the first one I saw I was wondering what the he11?!?!?! Kinda scary when you're messing with one with the engine running, looking at the belt making all it's twists and turns, and hoping it doesn't come off.
These cars never seem to be selling for much money. I’ve never owned or driven one but they seem like a neat little car.
My wife had a '64 convertible Corvair Monza 4-speed when we got married. It was a fun car to play in cruising around town. Never liked it on the highway or going very far.
always wanted a '67 water pumper. Looked at one in Seattle with a 455 Toronado drive unit; neat but too ruff.
I’ve owned and restored 3 of ‘em. They’re fun and parts were easy to come by. Looks like a nice one to goof with.
first thing in the too kit- 1/2 inch wrench and an extra belt. Dad drove a 65 for years (fuel crisis reaction) and we would have to fix the belt a lot. Think though, a fan like that takes about 10 hp to run- we could feel a little power surge when it came off.
I've found the key to keeping a belt on is to run it way looser than you're used to on any other car. I set mine up so I can spin the alternator easily when the engine's cold, and a little less easily when it's warm. As far as all the other comments are concerned, I share the same opinion. It's a fun car, better around town than on the highway, relatively easy to work on, good parts availability... A lot of the engineering/materials were a little half-baked (the heater, the thousand different places for it to leak oil). People who love 'em really love 'em, so I can see how you can get hooked, but I've always said that my one '65 Monza is enough for me. But I like variety.
