Chevrolet Corvette Indy Concept 1986

[GBO Possum]

For Corvette lovers, a little spectacular history!

And it's not just a model, it actually ran.

Seen at Sandwich, Massachusetts.

Even Steve McQueen "Likes" this one!

Can't believe I missed this. You get my vote. I hope that darn sinkhole didn't claim this. Or was that a different place?

Looks like an American XJ220...

This pre-dated the XJ220.

The Corvette Indy wasn't claimed by the sinkhole. According to Car and Driver, the Corvettes that fell in the sinkhole include a Tuxedo Black '62, the '84 pace car, the 1 millionth Corvette built (A '92 convertible), '93 ZR-1 Spyder, '93 40th Anniversary Edition, '01 Mallett Hammer Z06, the 1.5 millionth Corvette (An '09 model) and the C6 ZR1 "Blue Devil" prototype. None of those are this one.

Say, didn't this car have twin turbos? Car and Driver said something about that.

Also, THREE gears? Just like the Vector W8. That'll be fun.

I was gonna say that's a relief, but then YOU had to be a bearer of a bad news.... gawd dang it, that list alone probably could make a decent driving game right there...
