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.
Chevy’s C6 or sixth-generation Corvette was sold between 2004 and 2013. Designed by Tom Peters, the C6 was a comprehensive redesign of America’s favorite sports car. Out went pop-up headlamps, primarily due to tightened pedestrian safety regulations that made this iconic feature a nightmare to engineer. But that’s probably the only negative thing about the C6. Everything else is enduringly positive, from the increased passenger cabin space despite the shorter overall length of the car, the new and more potent V8 under the hood, the improved handling and dynamics, plus more good things. Chevy also brought out the Z06 as the successor to the C5’s ZR1 high-performance derivative. The Z06 came with a massive 427ci small-block under the hood plus several performance improvements. Today, we have a rather special variant, in the form of this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Wil Cooksey Limited Edition #32. Up for sale in Overland Park, Kansas, this car has done under 10,000 miles and comes with Wil Cooksey’s signature. Just 505 examples of this special edition were ever produced, making it quite rare. Who is Wil Cooksey? A legendary Corvette plant head who worked his way to the top and left quite a mark on the Corvette for years after his retirement in 2008.

Better yet, this lovely example has just a reported under 36,000 miles on its clock.

If there ever was a definitive station wagon, the Chevy Nomad has got to be it! In fact, Chevy used the Nomad nameplate mostly on station wagons. Firstly, these wagons were based on the Tri-Five from 1955 to 1957, Then, they shifted to a Bel Air base from 1958 to 1961 and subsequently, a Chevelle base between 1968 and 1972. So, this 1958 Chevrolet Nomad Station Wagon is based on a Bel Air platform and it’s a sort of restomod. With features such as shaved rear doors, a 348ci V8 and a 700R4 automatic transmission, it’s ready for action. If you’re interested, this sub-58,000 mile machine is available in Groveton, New Hampshire.
