<VV> 1965 Monza 4-Door on eBay

Thu Nov 26 14:41:21 EST 2009

I just saw this car and wish I lived closer to it - always liked the look of 
the Corvair 4-doors - classic and beautiful cars !

It's in Kansas City, KS :

Looks like it was repainted, but straight enough to be a nice ride ?

Happy Thanksgiving !
