The 1957 Chevrolet Corvette SS Project XP-64 is heading to auction at auction.
The Corvette 's history began in the early 1950s , and it wasn't a flying start, either.
It featured a completely new tubular chassis made out of magnesium, with its designers taking inspiration from the Mercedes-Benz 300SL .
It was based on the Corvette , but almost every part of it was not shared with the production model.
The project's small-block V8 was almost entirely made from aluminum, including its water pump, cylinder heads and radiator core.
The Corvette XP-64 failed to finish at the 1957 12 Hours of Sebring due to a litany of issues.
The American icon means much more to the United States than just being a cool sports car.
A few years after the Corvette SS tried to get into racing, the Bill Thomas Cheetah tried to enter the fold.
Bill Thomas Race Cars built 33 Cheetahs out of 100 planned.
