Corvette
Most R&D Corvettes never leave
Chevrolet’s gates. This one did,
as a “thank you” for helping
astronauts get special Corvettes.

The father and son team of Gerald and Joe Gregory update a 1964 Corvette with C7 suspension,
an LS7 engine complete with 427 inches makes an awesome autocross performer with a
vintage Grand Sport vibe. Look for this hard charger at autocross events everywhere.
