It seems almost inevitable that an owner will advertise a car that has sat for decades, making an outrageous mileage claim courtesy of its lack of use. That makes this 1978 Chevrolet Monza Spyder 2+2 a refreshing change. It is a one-owner survivor that they parked over twenty years ago, but its odometer read 256,000...

The average motorist is content to slip behind the wheel of a car that offers neutral handling or tends to transition gracefully into understeer. Chevrolet's Monza was a groundbreaking design for the company that also possessed lively handling due to its swing-axle rear suspension design. Following adverse publicity and pre-dating Ralph Nader's book, Unsafe at...

When they entered the new compact car market in 1960, Chevrolet decided to be different. Rather than offer a shrunken version of their full-size cars, they went another route. Enter the Corvair with its air-cooled, rear-mounted, flat engine and unibody construction, a car that would sell 1.8 million copies over 10 years. The seller offers...

Over 10 years, more than 1.8 million Corvairs were built, but...

The IMSA GT series was a bubbling stew of everything awesomenoise, fire, flares, turbosall in the name of great racing. Some of the four-wheeled heroes were unlikely, like the Chevy Monza. Marshall Pruett walks us down history lane.
In the 1960s, Chevrolet offered two compact cars, the Chevy II and the Corvair. The former was thoroughly conventional by Detroit standards (front-engine, water-cooled), while the latter was anything but. Like the VW Beetle, the Corvair had a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine, and – after 1962 – could be equipped with a turbocharger. That resulted in...
