This 1963 Chevrolet Corvair 900 Monza Spyder Club coupe was purchased by the selling dealer in 2023 and subsequently underwent a cosmetic refurbishment that included reupholstering the interior and vinyl wrapping the silver-blue exterior in a Gulf livery. The car is powered by a turbocharged 145ci flat-six paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, and equipment includes 14” chrome wheels, a louvered rear decklid, chrome bumpers, blue vinyl upholstery, front bucket seats, lap belts, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a RetroSound push-button radio with Bluetooth. This Corvair Monza Spyder coupe is now offered with the owner’s manual, a removed steering wheel, and a clean Ohio title in the selling dealer’s name.
The Corvair was the first unibody model produced by Fisher Body, and this example was delivered from the factory in Silver Blue (912). The seller notes that a respray occurred under previous ownership, and the body received a vinyl Gulf-livery wrap in March 2024. Exterior equipment includes quad headlights, dual side mirrors, a louvered decklid, reverse lights, a single exhaust outlet with a polished finisher, and bumpers that were recently replated in chrome.
Chrome-plated 14” wheels feature an orange lip and are mounted with 185/70 Arroyo Grand Sport tires. The Corvair’s factory independent suspension utilized coil springs all around and swing axles at the rear. Stopping power is provided by drum brakes at each corner.
The recently refreshed cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in blue vinyl along with a color-coordinated padded dashboard and door panels. Interior appointments include front bucket seats, front lap belts, a locking glovebox, floor mats, and a RetroSound Wonder Bar push-button radio with Bluetooth connectivity. The cabin heater does not work.
The wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for manifold pressure, cylinder head temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 43k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.
The rear-mounted, air-cooled turbocharged 145ci flat-six was factory rated at 150 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.
