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.
Dressed in a period shade of Goldwood Yellow with a black soft top, this 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza is a time machine into the ‘60s.

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.
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.
