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.
The Corvair’s low sweeping lines are the work of Bill Mitchell and his team, and they’ve produced an American icon that could compete with its European sports car counterparts. This particular 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa comes to you as a convertible, with red paint and a white convertible top. Folding up the top, you will see a clear rear vinyl window peering into the well kept interior, a testament to how well the car’s been looked after. It certainly looks the part, with its quad headlamps, ample servings of chrome, and body-colored wheel rims. There are few hints about the rear-engined design, save for the overall length of the rear quarters, the front fender-mounted fuel filler cap, and of course some cooling vents in the rear valance area. The red theme continues into the car’s four-seat cabin, which includes a full gauge pack, a wood-trimmed gear shift knob, and a retro-modern push-button radio. That’s it, really. There’s no digital instrument cluster or wireless phone integration to contend with. Instead, you’ve got an airy glasshouse, slim pillars, and plush cloth seats to lounge about in. The trunk of the car is located at the front, and is very spacious too. It’s not hard to see why many Corvairs were used as a family’s daily driver, enthusiastically embarking on school, office, and grocery runs day-in, day-out.
The rear-mounted engine of this 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa is the 164ci Turbo-Air flat-six with a factory rated 140HP that saw a recent tune up towards the end of 2023. The engine powers the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox. Furthermore, the 1965 model year saw the controversial swing-axle rear suspension replaced by a fully independent set-up, with coil springs at each wheel. The 1965 model year also introduced larger brakes, for better stopping power.

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.
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.
