1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Can you believe 450 DOTS vehicles and today's is the first Corvair?

Why, I remember wheeling and dealing to buy a beater '60 Corvair while I was in high school, but the seller wouldn't listen to my totally reasonable $200 offer. As we know, the Corvair has some funky handling characteristics, but so what? Look at it! This is a '64, right? Corvair experts?

It appears that the owner of the DOTS Austin Cooper S is also the owner of this Monza coupe. For some reason, he's trying to sell the Chevy. It has some dings and a bit of surface rust, but seems to be a pretty solid restoration candidate. Nicely priced at $2900?

We're going to stay in Orange County a while longer, heading from Costa Mesa to neighboring Huntington Beach. We'd mention that Huntington Beach is the official Surf City USA, only we'd probably get howls of outrage from Santa Cruz; in any case, HB's climate is great for preserving old cars. ß®@ƒƒ spotted this unsafe-at-any-speed ~~'61~~ '64 in very nice shape- though not so sure those are the best-looking Corvair wheels we've ever seen- parked with the top down to facilitate photography. Do that jump thing to hear what ß®@ƒƒ has to say about his experience.

Saw this on the way home from the gym yesterday... which is pretty remarkable. Not the car, the fact that I went to the gym for the first time in 3 months and didn't pass out on the treadmill.

Thanks, ß®@ƒƒ! Now let's listen to a catchy little tune from our favorite HB band:
