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.

This 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a track ready and race-oriented Corvette over the more civilized road going base models. Usually, the most powerful version from any model lineup comes with extra weight, but the Z06 was the opposite being the lightest of all Corvette models and came equipped with the largest displacement small-block engine ever produced at the time. This was a monstrous 7.0 V8 engine codenamed the LS7, reportedly capable of putting out a whopping 505 horsepower that this engine rightfully remained as the most powerful production naturally aspirated engines made by made General Motors for 15 years. The Z06 also comes with a lot more tasty enhancements such as; dry sump oiling system, titanium alloy connecting rods, larger anti-sway bars, stiffer springs and shocks, transmission cooler, and more sporty functional additions to the exterior. The frame of the Z06 is constructed from aluminum that saves over 136 lb of weight over the standard steel frame. This particular model we have here today has been kept in mint condition clocking a mere 1,450 miles on the odometer, for sale in Littleton, Connecticut.

Volkswagen’s quirky and lovable Transporter, Bus, Microbus, or Kombi is a symbol of the '60s and its movement of peace and love.

One of the most striking designs of the Sixties, the third-generation Corvette came in 1968. It was basically a lightly adjusted version of Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark II concept car. This thrilled the American public to no end – after all, it’s not common for a concept car to make it into production without major changes. Even in 2024, the C3 is one of the most sought-after variants, especially cars that were made before the Malaise Era of the '70s. That’s why you’ll no doubt enjoy owning and driving this pre-Malaise 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with just 68,262 miles on the odometer. It’s got the biggest engine for the C3 under the hood, and reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration. It’s also got the tank sticker, NCRS Judging sheets, service invoices and original documentation available.
