The engine was the actual distinguishing feature between the Monza and Corsa. The Monza (or the cheapest model, the 500) usually had a standard 95 or 110 hp motor, identified by two carburetors. The Corsa had the 140 or 180 hp motor with four carburetors or turbo.
What is a Corvair Monza?
The Chevrolet Corvair Monza GT was a mid-engined experimental prototype automobile built in 1962 and based on the early model Chevrolet Corvair series. As it was essentially a concept car, the Monza GT did not enter production.
What is a Corvair Corsa?
The Chevrolet Corvair Corsa was like a hipster car in the mid-1960s as far as what American car culture entailed. Thanks to an air-cooled, flat-six engine mounted in the rear, connected to a manual gearbox that helped spun the rear wheels, the Corvair cranked out 80 horsepower.
Are corvairs reliable?
Re: The overall reliability of the Corvair drivetrain

Are corvairs hard to work on?

What year Corvair is best?
So I'll try hard to restrain myself (as usual): The 1965 Corvair was the best European car ever made in America. And if that alone doesn't explain the Corvair's inevitable failure, let's just say that in 1965, Americans were eating a lot more Wonder Bread than baguettes.
What engine is in a Corvair?
Powered by the Chevrolet Turbo-Air 6 engine with 80 hp (60 kW; 81 PS) and mated to a three-speed manual or optional extra-cost two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission (RPO 360), the Corvair was designed to have comparable acceleration to the six-cylinder full-sized Chevrolet Biscayne.
Was there a Corvair station wagon?
For those searching for something a little more interesting, the scarcest of all early Corvair passenger cars is the four-door station wagon. Over the wagon's two-model-year run, fewer than 35,000 were built, which amounts to about 10 percent of Corvair production from 1960-'69.
