1959 Scaglietti Corvette

1 of only 3 alloy bodied Corvettes ever built. Conceived by Carroll Shelby and Gary Laughlin, and based on a brand new '59 Corvette Fuel Injection chassis, and 4 speed drivetrain. The process took almost 3 years, and was finally delivered with the 315hp engine available in '61. This is the first one built, and the only one completed in Italy, and shipped back to the US. The other two had dual four barrels, and automatics, and were shipped back incomplete. The alloy body, a copy of Ferrari's famed Tour de France, trimmed 400 lbs. off the weight, and made a significant difference in the power to weight ratio. Very fast, and very nicely balanced. Eligible for almost any event on the planet, and only a small fraction of the cost of a similar looking TDF.
