1965 Chevy Corvette Cutaway Expected To Bring Up To $1.4 Million At Auction

This cutaway display stand features a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray fuel injection car built from a prototype with 4 miles on the clock in 1964. It’s going up for auction and is expected to bring somewhere between $1,000,000 and $1,400,000.

Built for the 1965 Motorama show, it went essentially missing, spending 30 years in storage in South Africa before being brought back to the U.S.

Originally built as an actual road-going early prototype car, this cutaway display model is finished in Le Mans Blue paint over a white interior. It sports a 327 cubic-inch V-8, M-20 four-speed transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes.

Once returned to the U.S., the car was part of Al Wiseman’s collection. Wiseman oversaw a restoration of the display to its original show-worthy condition, but preserved as many original details as possible, from the teakwood steering wheel to the AM/FM radio to the original wide-sidewall Rayon cord tires. The car is now part of the Andrews collection.

The car goes up for auction at RM Auctions on Saturday, May 2, 2015. You can find out more details about the car, or register as a bidder, at the official auction page.

Chevy confirms 2016 Camaro will have wheels, brakes

Good news, everyone! Chevrolet has issued yet another round of teaser images and information about the sixth-generation Camaro, set to debut in Detroit on May 16. This time around, Chevy's teaser images confirm that the new car will not only have wheels and tires (Goodyear Eagle F1s, no less), but brakes as well. On top of that, we now know that the new Camaro will be 28-percent stiffer than the outgoing model.

"The more rigid body structure allowed the engineers to more precisely calibrate the steering and suspension systems because they didn't have to compensate for chassis flex. The lighter structure also enabled the size and mass of elements such as the wheels, tires and brakes to be scaled accordingly," GM said in a press release, which you can read below.

We've already learned that the new coupe will be 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor, has a bunch of unique parts, and according to GM's Mark Reuss, will outperform the Ford Mustang in every way. Now, it's only a matter of time before we see the sixth-gen Camaro, but surely not before Chevy issues even more teasers and information.
