While the 2014 Corvette Stingray due to go in production this summer attracted considerable attention at the North American International Auto Show last month, performance modifier Lingenfelter was preparing a version of a 1967 Stingray of its own that was showed in a private event at the MGM Grand Casino before the Corvette reveal.
How Chevrolet feels about the body modifications – stinger hood and a one piece, rather than a split rear window – added to a new or used wide-body C6 Corvette, or the intellectual property rights that may be involved is unknown by AutoInformed.
The modification – you supply an existing new or used Corvette – along with, say, $135,000 with a fresh 660 horsepower naturally aspirated engine by one of the most famous performance shops in the business – and what you see here is what you get.
The car can also be built off a standard Corvette including an original split window coupe.
