1. 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa — $8,150
Chevy's rear-engine, air-cooled answer to the sports coupe, the Corsa trim added bucket seats, a full instrument cluster, and available turbocharged power to the quirky Corvair lineup. At just over $8K, this is one of the most affordable ways into 1960s alternative performance.
