Step into the world of automotive history with the 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Coupe Speciale Concept — a true rarity with only one ever produced. This remarkable vehicle represents a bold departure from convention, boasting innovative design, international collaboration, and timeless style.
Unveiled at the 1963 Geneva International Auto Show, the Corvair Coupe Speciale Concept showcases peculiar design elements. With its horizontally opposed, six-cylinder, air-cooled engine mounted in the rear and sleek styling by Pininfarina and Tom Tjaarda, this car captured the attention of automotive enthusiasts. With its brilliant red exterior and pristine white interior, the Corvair Coupe Speciale Concept is a rare find, boasting just over 3,800 miles on the odometer.
This Corvair remained with the Pininfarina collection until 1996 when Pascal Saint-Maux bought it in a private sale. After leaving Pascal the Corvair exchanged hands through several US owners until being bought by Weston and Elona Hook in 2001. It remained in a private collection and then sold in 2022 at the Pebble Beach Auction. Powered by a 145 cubic-inch air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, the Corvair for sure doesn’t deliver a thrilling driving experience, but it for sure makes its driver feel special, especially when entering in any car show. Find it for sale here in Scotts Valley, CA. Thanks to Kyle for this tip!
