“Every time you’re talking in your sleep, you’re always talking about Corvairs…”
If ever a person was supposed to own a certain car, Christian Mejia was destined to lay claim to his 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza. Driven to school in one as a child, Mejia knew he loved it before he even truly knew what it was.
Mejia’s mother received the car after it was passed down following a death in the family. Christian begged his mother for the car and she eventually relented. It was his and he’s driven it ever since. It wasn’t an easy road, of course, as the car’s been damaged and eventually sat for awhile.
But a properly loved machine doesn’t sit forever… and Christian sold his daily driver, took the bus, borrowed his girlfriend’s car, and eventually found the time and money to rebuild his baby.
Until he crashed it again, and it sat again.
Today it looks like this, and Christian has his pride and joy on the road. The finished product is gorgeous and it’s clear that the journey has been a labor of love.
