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.

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 Chevrolet Corvair is arguably one of America’s more controversial Sixties cars. Introduced in 1960, it soon drew the attention of Ralph Nader, who dedicated an entire chapter in his book about the Corvair’s handling shortcomings. General Motors responded by updating the Corvair for the 1965 model year, giving it an all-new independent rear suspension that banished the famous lift-off oversteer issue. So, if you’ve been interested in the Chevy Corvair’s good looks and rear-engined configuration, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa is the best candidate to grace your garage.
Ever since the '50s and the dawn of the American sportscar movement, the Chevrolet Corvette has been the golden standard in terms of exploring freedom behind the wheel.

This almost factory-fresh modern American muscle car has a reported 2,300 miles on the clock and features a host of tasteful factory features.
On the list of things that truly define what it is to be an American, many people have reserved a spot for the Chevrolet Corvette. As an iconic vehicle, the Corvette speaks volumes about American engineering brilliance and the nation's love of good old-fashioned high-horsepower fun. It opens up the possibility of owning a part of the American dream and besting much more expensive foreign sports cars for a pretty modest sum of cash. The Corvette is surprisingly comfortable for a no-compromise performance vehicle. Nevertheless, the Corvette is poised to let go and shove you back into your seat like an aircraft pulling off the tarmac. This example of the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 belongs to the sixth generation. With 73,000 miles on its clock, it is available for sale in Michigan.

Furthermore, the Beetle is quite simple in terms of mechanicals, and easy to work on, making it perfect if you’re also trying to learn some automotive mechanics. So why not enhance your automotive life with this 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle Sun Bug?
