Listings like this don’t come along very often, especially when they involve multiple cars offered together as a single package. Located in Moriarty, this Barn Finds Classified features four 1960s Chevrolet Corvair coupes, all identified as 900/Monza two-door models with manual transmissions. For the right Corvair enthusiast, restorer, or parts collector, this is the kind of offering that opens up a lot of possibilities.
According to the seller, all four cars have been sitting for a long time—roughly 15 to 20 years—and none are currently running. No attempts have been made to get them started. Out of the four cars, three retain engines, while one does not. Some interior and engine-related components are missing across the group, which isn’t unusual for long-stored Corvairs, especially those that have been viewed as donor cars over the years. That said, the seller notes that all four cars still have their glass, with some showing chips.
Title status is another important point here. Three of the four Corvairs have titles, while one does not. That alone adds flexibility for buyers who may want to focus on parts cars versus restoration candidates. The seller believes there is enough here to realistically build at least two complete cars, with the remaining vehicles serving as parts donors to support those builds.
Mechanically, these cars should be approached as full projects. The seller specifically mentions that ignition switches will be needed, and that electrical repairs are likely, which is consistent with vehicles that have sat untouched for decades. Inspection in person is strongly recommended, and while the seller is open to providing additional photos, underside shots aren’t possible due to the cars’ current location.
The cars were acquired from a friend, and the seller is being upfront about the terms: this is an as-is, where-is sale, with no shipping provided. Buyers will need to arrange their own transport. There’s no warranty expressed or implied, which is precisely what you’d expect with a multi-car project listing like this.
The seller does note they may consider trades, with interests including metric motorcycles and classic Ford cars and trucks. That flexibility could make this an appealing option for someone looking to move a project in a different direction. For Corvair fans, this isn’t just one project—it’s a small fleet, and with it comes the chance to restore, combine, or preserve multiple examples of Chevrolet’s most unconventional 1960s compact.
Would you build two drivers from this group, or keep one and use the rest strictly for hard-to-find Corvair parts?
Seems like a good bargin if you are into Corvairs. 4 cars and the possiblity to make 2 out of 4.
Nader,,,there said it and got it out of the way. Hopefully Father Time will eliminate that. This is an okay find, in that, there really isn’t a good one in the bunch. The only appeal here is for someone with a nice one, and a large supply of extras, that’s it. Nobody is going to restore these, grandpa, what’s a Corvair? ( make a good Jeopardy question)
Why hasn’t he contacted Matt’s Off road towing. He loves Corvairs.
I dont know who or what “Matts Off Road Towing is. never heard of them. Info please.
He’s a very popular YouTube personality, his channel name is Matt’s Off Road Recovery. He has containers full of Corvair parts and about a dozen Corvairs, several of which are daily driven by him and his family and he seems to always be in the market for more. He’s located in Hurricane, UT.
could be a good deal for a Corvair lover. lot of good stuff here for sure
it looks like the blue one is a’62, and the others are ‘63s. I’d be interested to see the condition of the floors; they tend to rust out. Otherwise, the bodies look pretty solid. It would be great to save as many of these as possible; they are pretty simple mechanically and they are a blast to drive.
Yes 2 are 63 and 2 are 62, I will take floor pics best I can and post them in the comments soon.
I sent an email to Matt’s Off-road Recovery as Matt is a big Corvair freak. You probably have seen his YouTube channel. I started watching it since i drive old cars and have been towed many many times.
The car all the way on the left does have rust through holes in the floor, the other 3 look pretty good but there are seats mounted and covering most of the floor, hard to really tell. contact me through barn finds contact link for more pics and information. Thanks
I’m pretty sure the one next to the red one in the first picture is a 500, not a Monza. This group is More like stock for a guy who sells Corvair parts.
All 4 have 900 Monza badges on both sides. I can provide vin numbers if interested in vehicles, just contact me through barn finds.
All 4 have Monza badges on the glove box doors too. I have pics of glove boxes and the body tags that are in the engine bay for each car. The car years from left to right are 63, 62, 62, 63
here is the 4 car pic
I also have a weird intake manifold with a 2 barrel carburetor that was in one of the cars,
the carburetor has a Chevrolet bowtie on the top that says Bay City in it. i don’t know anything else about it. Maybe a chevy or Corvair person can chime in with information. I am not aCorvair expert, just got these cars from a friend.
It looks like it’s an aftermarket manifold from IECO, and the carburetor is a Rochester 2G, the kind you’ll find on a billion GM V8s from the 1950-1970s.
Thank you for the information, please keep the info coming, it may help other people too.
The majority of Corvairs have two carburetors (one on each cylinder head). It’s really not complicated to keep them synchronized, but IECO came out with single two- and four-barrel manifolds like the one you have back in the ’60s, and people would run all kinds of carburetors on them. The big complaint that I’ve read (I’ve never driven a Corvair with an IECO manifold) is that it suffers from a lack of carb heat, so you can get some odd hesitations.
here is a closeup of the manifold
