Man those pics dring back some memories. I learned to drive on my fathers 1962 candy apple red Corvair Monza Spider, white leather interior, twin turbos, 4 speed. Wish I had that ride today. VROOOM.

Beautiful car!
I can see some non-stock items. Steering wheel; later model 65/66 wheel covers; later model tail lamps ('64?) My first time in a Corvair was up in your area. Was a teenager when an older cousin and her husband in San Mateo bought a new '63 Spyder convert. Probably why I was attracted to my '66 a few years later. One I wish I didn't let get away......

The steering wheel looks to be a period Grant wheel, circa 1965 or so, a very common mod at the time. The taillights are off of a 1962 Corvair, also a very common mod back then, the lights that came on the '60's were pretty plain and boring, with solid "white" backup lights....no red reflector ring. Its not a 100 point show car, but its a wonderful survivor and I'd be hesitant to "restore" it, just make it drivable and enjoyable with some new tires and a good cleaning.
