Listen, this thing has been ringing my celly non-stop for the last year wanting me to just hang out. I’m not the kind of guy to be tied down to just one Corvette. is a little desperate, and you’d really be doing me a favor if you took it out for a nice spa day and a Can’t Buy Me Love makeover before dinner, drinks, a movie, and maybe some vintage racing at Monterey Car Week this summer. It’s a good car, it’s fun to be around, and it has a lot of charm, but I’m still kind of sorting out my options right now. I don’t need no Corvette key on my keyring tying me down. I’m just not looking for that kind of a commitment.

Way back in 1960, this little beauty was commissioned by Zora Arkus-Duntov to race at Le Mans. It learned a few things while over in France, like how to smoke a cigarette in a pretentious way, how to say “Où est la bibliothèque?”, and the true meaning of amor. It also learned how to DNF after 207 laps and 20 hours of racing to an engine fire. Quel désastre!

If you know your Chevrolet history, you know that the company was decidedly not involved in racing in 1960, and the whole operation was a bit on the clandestine side. Duntov didn’t have explicit permission to support the team racing anywhere, let alone at Le Mans, so the cars were raced under the privateer banner of B.S. Cunningham. Briggs was something of a wealthy playboy racer with eyes on winning the overall prize at Le Mans, though never did, despite a pair of class wins.

Following the breakdown at Le Mans, the car somehow got lost in the shuffle and was not uncovered again until 2012. In all that time, the car has received extensive modifications from its original race-spec, but , it still carries enough of its original pieces to be identifiable as one of Cunningham’s exes.

Anyway, this car really needs this opportunity, and you’d be doing me a real solid if you made it feel young again. All it wants is to feel the wind in its carburetor again. It’ll only cost you an estimated $900,000 to 1.3 million for the opportunity, but then again, it’s a no-reserve lot, so you could really get a bargain.
