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.
The fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro marked the triumphant return of one of America’s most iconic performance nameplates, blending retro-inspired styling with modern muscle car performance.

The 1967 Chevrolet Impala represented the final year of one of Chevrolet’s most elegant full-size body styles of the decade, combining sweeping proportions with unmistakable American V8 presence.

The Z32-generation Nissan 300ZX remains one of the defining Japanese sports cars of the 1990s, representing the era when Japanese automakers were fiercely competing to build technologically advanced grand touring machines that could challenge European rivals. Introduced for the 1990 model year, the redesigned 300ZX brought sharper styling, improved chassis dynamics, and a far more sophisticated drivetrain than its predecessor. This particular 1990 Nissan 300ZX Coupe 2+2 shows approximately 42,461 miles, making it an especially appealing example for enthusiasts seeking a relatively low-mileage Z32 with the added practicality of the longer-wheelbase 2+2 configuration. Finished in Cherry Red Pearl and equipped with a 5-speed manual, removable T-top roof panels, and tasteful performance upgrades including a Greddy cat-back exhaust and aftermarket injectors, this is the kind of analog Japanese sports car that continues to gain appreciation among collectors.
