Chevrolet is an automotive brand that has a handful of collector's cars under its name. The Corvair Monza is one of those popular collectible and unique cars that rolled out of Chevrolets doors in the 60’s. Interestingly, this car remains the only American mass-produced car with an air-cooled rear engine. In 1962 Chevrolet added some pizazz to the Corvair Monza lineup by debuting the long-anticipated convertible version of the Monza. The 1964 model – such as our subject car – was the last of the first generation Monza and was vastly improved with significant engineering changes. This well preserved 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza convertible was with the current owner since 2012 and comes with the owner’s manual. Located in Michigan Monza with just 79900 on its clock, this car comes to you with all maintenance and recommended servicing completed.
Exterior and Interior
This 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza retains all original components except for the paint which has done by the previous owner. This survivor is a numbers-matching example with all components functioning and operating as intended. It truly makes an impression with its dazzling blue paint and period-correct, original-sized white-wall radial tires. The exterior features front and rear bumper guards, the iconic Chevrolet emblem up front and a cross flag badge at the back. The interior features a blue theme to match with the exterior and offers the option of a wooden steering wheel. A spare tire can be found at the rear alongside the engine and two separate keys are provided including glove box key and spare tire lock key.
Engine
The 1964 Corvair Monza saw increased engine displacement thanks to several engineering improvements. Powering this car is a rear-mounted 2.7L 164cid flat-6 engine sending 150 horsepower to the wheels via a 2-speed automatic transmission. New components in the engine include axle seals, transmission seals, battery and cables, spark plugs and front ball joints. The carbs are adjusted, aligned, and cleaned.
The 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup is one of Chevrolet’s most unconventional utility vehicles, combining a forward-control cab with the Corvair’s rear-mounted, air-cooled powertrain and a genuinely clever side-loading pickup bed. Showing 23,258 miles, this example is powered by a 145ci air-cooled flat-six with dual single-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Its signature passenger-side loading ramp, rear-mounted engine, compact proportions, and distinctive cab-over styling give the Rampside an identity unlike virtually any other American pickup of the period.
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.

The K5 Blazer is one of the defining full-size American 4x4s of its era, combining the hardware of a traditional Chevrolet truck with a shorter two-door body and removable roof. This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer shows 52,293 miles and keeps that classic formula intact with V8 power, an automatic transmission, dual-range four-wheel drive, and solid axles. Its removable fiberglass hardtop adds the open-air element that helped distinguish the K5 from conventional SUVs, while the period-style Rally wheels, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and burgundy cabin complete the unmistakably 1980s presentation.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan captures the long, low, unmistakable style that made Chevrolet’s full-size cars such icons of the 1960s. Showing approximately 28,076 miles, this example combines a 327ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes make it considerably easier to enjoy from behind the wheel. Finished in Red over a Black interior, it also benefits from tasteful modern upgrades including aftermarket coilover suspension and a Bluetooth-capable sound system, adding usability without taking away from the car’s classic character.
