1959 Chevrolet Corvette Scaglietti Coupe<\/h1>\n
\n

When the crankshaft broke on Gary Laughlin’s Ferrari Monza he had had enough. Being the owner of several Chevrolet dealers, he turned to Peter Coltrin to have a few rebodied. Fortunately, they pursued Sergio Scaglietti who made three fastback coupes on the Corvette chassis. <\/span><\/p>\n

Through Chevrolet general manager Ed Cole, three chassis were taken off the assembly line and sold without bodies. These were shipped to Italy where a divine transformation turned the Corvette outwardly into something more like a Ferrari. At the time Scaglietti & C. was building the bodies for Ferrari’s ‘Tour de France’ Berlinetta, so the resemblance wasn’t accidental. Laughlin requested the car retain its Corvette grille. Inside the interior had Stewart Warner gauges and Corvette knobs.<\/p>\n

Almost 18 months after the chassis was sent, the first car arrived in Texas. It was made without much initial publicity, since Scaglietti largely kept the project away from the prying eyes of Enzo Ferrari. Furthermore, GM management decided to put the cancel any further shipments of chassis. The two remaining cars were shipped back to America unfinished without interiors.<\/p>\n

The Scaglietti Corvette didn’t have the fit and finish Laughlin was looking for, but the design did shave 400 lbs of weight of a standard Corvette. It also caught the attention of Car Life and appeared in Road & Track for their March 1961 issue.<\/p>\n

J59S102405-The first of three cars delivered completely finished to Gary Laughlin. After being featured in Car Life and Road & Track, it was sold to Fred Gifford. He kept it for 25 years, raking up 27,000 miles and repainting it Silver at some point. It was sold in this state to Mr. Brahms who comprehensively restored it better than new. In 2007 it was sold by the Blackhawk Collection and went to Paul Russell and Company for a mechanical refurbishment.<\/p>\n

In 2009 the car was auction by Gooding & Company for their Pebble Beach Auction. they described the car as “The first Scaglietti Corvette is an utterly unique and irreplaceable piece of history that has always had direct connections to some of the most significant international personalities.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
