1961 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 900

@Daral – Is the cracked paint/ body filler in photo 10 from rust or previous accident damage Would you do a 2000 mile road trip to Canada in it? ...

The cracked paint/ body filler issue in photo 10: I don't think its body filler or rust as I have inspected the car top to bottom and found no evidence of rust anywhere...I also cleaned and detailed the complete underside of the car myself and found no rust at all other than light surface rust on the floor pan as you would expect on a 62 year old car and it cleaned up very easily. I've seen rust under paint before on previous cars I've owned and it (rust) doesn't look like this. Also with body filler, this doesn't have the same characteristics I've seen before. I think it's just cracked paint. Why this is, I don't know without taking the paint off and seeing what's under the paint. We bought the car already repainted and the previous owners said it was accident free. As for taking it on a 2000 mile trip....Short Answer I wouldn't ....It's 62 years old with original motor and trans. I have taken it on 50 to 60 mile road trips to car shows at nearby towns and back home with no problems....But 2000 miles NO I wouldn't. As for your next question about photo #9 yellow discoloration, I think it's from when they buffed the new paint through to the original paint when the previous owner had the car painted. This is the only area I've seen and you wouldn't notice it unless it was pointed out to you.
