The muscle cars of the 60s dominated the airways and stole the show on every motor show; thunderous horsepower and performance with good looks was a hot seller, and every manufacturer wanted a piece of the pie. Chevrolet released the legendary Camaro to battle head-on with the Ford Mustang and several machines that can cater to the ever-growing muscle car market; however, among all the performance, the unique Chevrolet Corvair always stood out with it's open top variants. Present today is a great example of America's foray into the unknown and looks like this 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa; it has a reported 120,000 miles on the clock. You can rest assured that you are behind the wheel of an American legend.
The Corvair was iconic on so many fronts, and while its motor stole the show, the uber-cool 60s design is also one to admire. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa sports a red exterior that helps highlight the iconic design; the power convertible top is finished off in black and, when down, provides a driving experience like no other. In terms of shoes, this 60s American classic sits on its factory hubcaps and is wrapped with white wall tires. Like the exterior, the black interior of this 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa is all factory styling. The current owner reports that the leather interior has been upholstered and is in great shape. Once you are in and comfy, you are treated to an authentic 60s drive feel with this car sporting all its factory interior components; you even get the original radio player that is reported to need some work to get running smooth and pumping out your tunes.
Sure, the good looks and comfort are something to admire, but what made the Corvair iconic was its powertrain layout. At the time, the recipe for power delivery was simple, a big American V8 motor sending its power to the rear wheels in dramatic fashion. However, the Corvair shook things up in a first for the American automotive scene. It featured a rear-mounted air-cooled motor that was America's response to the legendary Volkswagen Beetle. Make your way to the rear of this 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa, and what you will find is a 2.3L inline six-cylinder air-cooled motor that is reported to be numbers matching. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
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.
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 C6 Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most loved generations of the storied supercar-challenging American sportscar.

A first-generation Chevy Corvette is a fantastic car to own and drive. It’s a piece of American automotive history, after all. Produced between 1953 and 1962, over 69,000 were made. It was also the only Corvette era to come with a six-cylinder engine choice, something that Chevy quickly realized didn’t suit a flagship sports car. Thankfully, all Corvettes thereafter have packed a V8. Many people nowadays want an original first-gen Corvette, but there are some who love restomods. If that sounds familiar, have we got the car for you! Say Howdy to this Pennsylvania-based 1960 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod that’s got just 1,000 miles after its comprehensive makeover. There’s a lot to learn about this car, so let us give you the highlights, but don’t forget to shoot us a DM or give us an old-fashioned phone call if you’re interested.
Widely popularized for its role in Smokey and the Bandit, the second-generation Pontiac Firebird is well regarded as a solid ’70s American classic. Never mind that the Malaise Era was in full swing, squeezing those V8s into abysmally low power outputs, there are plenty of avenues today to bring these cars back up to respectable power figures. Therefore, if you’re the kind who likes classic Firebirds, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a fantastic find. It’s got a large V8 under the hood and comes bearing just 28,691 miles to its name. So don’t dilly-dally; pick up this Lubbock, Texas-based muscle car before someone else does.
