Equipment
4-speed, pushbutton radio, KnightKit 90 degree electronic tach, chrome reversed wheels, hubcaps, narrow whitewall Hankook radial tires, dual carbs.
Condition
Sound older repaint, interior and top. Weak chrome. Underbody has dirty original undercoat. Engine compartment is original but surprisingly orderly. Poorly touched up scratch on the right hood. Flat panels, flush fits and even gaps all around. An unusually good Corvair.
Market commentary
The price this Monza convertible brought is modest by a few thousand dollars, but its charm is vastly enhanced by the KnightKit tach, a relic of the nascent days of the electronic era in the early 60's when Allied Radio, Heathkit and Radio Shack competed to intrigue budding technologists with electromechanical and tube electronics. [I'm listening to Classic Rock on WXRB-FM on a Fisher TX-50 transistor amp, a miracle of its time, and a pair of Wharfedale W70s, and that is "old school."] This is a better car than the price it brought.
