1962-64 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder
The 150 hp 1962-64 turbocharged Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder took the amazing uniqueness of America’s only mass produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air cooled engine and kicked it up a notch by adding forced induction, making the 1962 model the first production automobile to come with a turbocharger as a factory option. This mostly original beauty was a great find at this week’s local Jacksonville, Florida cruise-in.
Also, don’t forget that you can get discounted new car pricing with a free quote through qualified local dealer partners.
Rear mounted, air cooled, turbocharged goodness…
1967 Mercury Cougar
There are certainly plenty of 1967 Ford Mustangs frequenting local cars shows, but the first year of production 1967 Mercury Cougar is a shy cat. Slotted between Ford’s Mustang and Thunderbird, the Cougar offered Mustang performance with luxury appointments.
I love the hidden headlamps and the “electric shaver” grille.
