This Corvair arrived to my garage in pieces and was a fun build. The exterior color and late model Corvair were the main items that attracted me to this car.

1961 Monza Coupe
“The Joe Doughty Car”- Purchased from estate of long-time VCE member & club treasurer Joe P. Doughty after his passing. He ordered the car new from DeMent–Mollison Chevrolet here in Birmingham with 98 h.p. engine, 4-speed and 3.89 differential ratio. He drove the car back and forth to work at ACIPCO for many years, then stored it for a future restoration project. His meticulous restoration of original components to 95% complete was fully documented. I finished the remaining 5% in 2017. Mr. Doughty’s son Alan, was the first person I got to drive the car when it was completed and sorted. The car now has approximately 106k miles on it. It placed 3rdin the 1961-1964 American class at the Apollo 50 Car show in Huntsville in July of 2019 (attached photo). It still wears it’s ACIPCO employee parking decal on the lower portion of the windshield on the driver’s side.

“Ella” - 102 h.p. w/PG. Unrestored survivor with what’s believed to be 27k actual miles on it. Original owner (Ella M. Shepherd), purchased car in St. Maries, ID. I am the 5th owner, and the 2nd owner east of the Mississippi. Other than tune-up type work and exhaust repairs, In late 2020, replaced hydraulic lifters, pushrods and rocker arms, after which I completed a trouble-free 700+ mile road trip, averaging 20-23 mpg. My driver - it’s not a perfect car cosmetically, but it is very reliable and good out on the road.
