When Chevrolet came up with the Corvair as a radical new car, not even the designers could’ve foreseen just how controversial it would go on to become. In a bid to compete with the rising popularity of compact European cars, Chevy released the Corvair in 1960. Like the Volkswagen Beetle (which was one of the main competitors it was aimed at), it came with a rear mounted, air-cooled, horizontally opposed engine and all-round independent suspension. It also featured monocoque construction. It had advantages in both power and space over the Beetle, and it had a technological advantage over its domestic competition (both Ford and Chrysler’s candidates for the compact segment were basically just downsized versions of their existing models). While theoretically impressive and well received by critics and consumers (named “Car of the Year” by Motor Trend and selling 26000 units in it’s first 2 days), it would initially face several teething problems, and then have its legacy clouded by concerns about its handling and safety (mainly by Ralph Nafer’s “Unsafe at Any Speed”). These claims have mostly been debunked since then.
This 2-door coupe is finished in a glossy red color and has a black interior. At first glance, it appears to be completely stock, but a closer look reveals wider tires, cleverly disguised by the period-correct-esque wheels. Aside from this, there were virtually no signs on the exterior that would suggest that this car has been modified. The interior is also quite original and unassuming, except for a few switches and gauges that have been fitted onto or below the dashboard, and their associated wiring (some of which is visible from certain angles).
Mechanically, this car has some significant modifications and upgrades installed. Most importantly, it now has a 6-cylinder turbo with a 94mm bore and oversized pistons (as reported by the current owner) and a manual gearbox. The current owner also states that the turbo is customized. There are, unfortunately, no specifications regarding the capacity of the engine or number of gears. It also reportedly has complete Monte Carlo front suspension, front disc brakes and rear axles drilled for 5 lugs.

Famous for all the wrong reasons, the Chevrolet Corvair has been relegated to being one of American automotive history’s pariahs. This was majorly due to its presence in Ralph Nader’s book titled “Unsafe At Any Speed”. Yes, the Corvair’s swing-axle rear suspension and unconventional tire pressure settings does mean that it can catch out its driver, but that also means you should drive it in a sensible, rather than silly fashion. On the same token, we shouldn’t be driving cars at all, or even walking for that matter if its unsafe to be in any form of speed. Plus, if the Corvair was really that dangerous, would you find examples like this 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible for sale today? Up for sale from Indianapolis, this 83,987-mile car is living proof that the Corvair isn’t the killer widow-maker that Nader made it out to be. This car comes with the original owner’s guide, a 164ci flat six, a manual gearbox, and a spare tire lock key too.

With Germany’s Volkswagen Beetle dominating the market, General Motors stepped up for the United States of America and introduced a ground-breaking car of its day, the Chevrolet Corvair. The Corvair is a rear-engine, air-cooled compact car. The same words can be used to describe a Beetle, but they looked nothing alike. This Chevrolet Corvair “Monza” was introduced in 1961 as an upscale trim, along with a four-speed manual transmission that quickly became appealing to buyers. It was even referred to as “the poor man’s Porsche” by car magazines, initially making the Monza series responsible for about half of Corvair sales. Three years down the line, in 1964, significant engineering changes were made with a front anti-roll bar fitted as standard, while the brakes were improved with finned rear drums. Even the engine displacement was increased from 145 to 164 ci, resulting in an increase of power, the same as this particular model, which features a total of 49,200 original miles. With recent servicing up to date, here is your chance to own an American classic car that left a mark in the country’s automotive history for sale in Woodbury, Connecticut.
Now here’s a hot rod that’s true to the term to a tee. This 1934 Chevrolet Coupe Hot Rod may have started life off as a Chevrolet Standard when it was new, but it’s now been customized to such an extent, that scant little of its previous life exists. Chevys and Fords from the 1920s and 1930s are extremely popular as hot rod platforms because of their appearance, construction and ease of turning into something truly artistic. This particular car is now up for grabs in Port St. Lucie, Florida and packs a massive 502ci Chevy Big Block under the hood…well, what of the hood is left, because the engine is now partially exposed for all and sundry to see. The car rocks an autobox, rear-wheel drive and has just 20,000 miles on it.
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod is a no-expense-spared Pro Touring build that blends iconic first-generation Camaro styling with thoroughly modern performance engineering. Under the hood sits a 376ci LS3 V8 upgraded with a COMP cam and valvetrain, producing a claimed 530 horsepower, paired to a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission for an engaging, driver-focused experience. Built with premium components throughout — including a Heidts Pro-G IRS rear suspension and Detroit Speed front subframe — this Camaro was clearly constructed with both performance and refinement in mind. Showing under 2,500 miles since completion, it remains exceptionally fresh, presenting as a highly sorted and lightly driven example of a serious modern muscle build.
The Chevrolet Camaro, 1967-2024. Yes, Chevy’s pony car is no more. The sixth generation Camaro said goodbye in 2024, after a fine production run that saw countless enthusiasts get their speed and power fix. Along the way, there have been some fine variants, such as the Z/28. The brainchild of Vince Piggins, the Z/28 was basically a turn-key racer. It was offered to buyers on the down low; there was no sales literature for it. That’s what we have today, a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro for sale from Tustin, California. This car has received a fair bit of refreshment. Now, it packs a Blueprint 383ci Stroker V8 under the hood, paired with the famed Muncie "Rockcrusher" 4-speed box. But wait, there’s more. Keep reading.

The Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was one of the best-selling nameplates in America during the 1970s and 1980s, and by 1984 the Brougham trim represented the pinnacle of personal luxury in the lineup. This 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham, showing 83,404 miles, captures that era perfectly with its unmistakable blend of comfort, chrome, and V8 power. Built during a time when personal coupes ruled American roads, the Cutlass Supreme offered buyers a refined alternative to sportier muscle cars, emphasizing smooth cruising, upscale appointments, and distinctive styling. With its classic proportions and well-preserved presentation, this example stands as an authentic representation of mid-1980s American luxury.
Today’s car on sale is the breathtakingly beautiful Opel GT. It’s a compact German sports car that’s quite unlike the contemporary American cars that ruled the Sixties and Seventies. With its steel unibody chassis and rotary flipping headlamps, the GT was powered by a 1.9-liter four-cylinder unit. This particular 1972 Opel GT has got just 4,200 miles on it and is up for grabs in Covington, Kentucky. It embodies the quirky nature of Opel’s cars back then, and is a fantastic choice to make if you want to be known for distinctiveness, especially when you rock up at a classic car meet or drive event.
