A unique Glacier White example of the Rossi SixtySix modification of a Chevy Corvette C6 is up for sale in Dearborn, Michigan with an odometer reading of 61,829 miles and an asking price of $105,000, somewhat less than the $130,000 Rossi Motor Company charged for the conversion.
The 2007 Chevy Corvette is modified to resemble the C2 Vette of the Sixties, explaining the Rossi SixtySix name, and features a split-window Coupe body style, per the listing by Hemmings.
With a clean bill of health on its CarFax report and its near-pristine condition evident from the images provided, this Rossi SixtySix Corvette has even appeared in the car videos of TV personality and automotive enthusiast Jay Leno. While Rossi Motor Company planned to build multiple SixtySix units, this is the only one to ever see the light of day.
The heaviest modifications are naturally to the exterior, where a body resembling the C2 Vette has been fitted over the C6 chassis and engine. A center brake light is located in the rear split window that resembles that of the 1963 Stingray, while the vehicle leads with a stinger-type hood evoking the machines of the Sixties. The coupe rides on custom forged wheels, with 19-inch rollers at the front and 20-inch wheels at the rear, all wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
The interior sports black Alcantara suede upholstery and a C2-style dash for added visual appeal. The seats and instrument panel feature suede accents as well. Despite its retro looks, the vehicle offers a modern touchscreen on the dash and a custom audio system for superb sound in the interior.
Under the hood – and a custom carbon fiber cover – the Rossi SixtySix Corvette cradles the naturally aspirated 6.0L V8 LS2 gasoline engine. Stock, this engine develops 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. However, mods to this particular powerplant have pushed horsepower above 450, with exact torque output unspecified. A six-speed manual transmission provides cog swaps, while a Borla exhaust system sends exhaust gases to custom 5-inch exhaust tips.

Looks like a ‘63 got stung by a bee…
Very very torn. Looks good. Would it Been better factory restored???? 50/50 on this one
Swing, and a miss. Why not just buy a 63 split window and enjoy it? You can even switch out the engine with a new one, and it would still be less than the fugly mod.
It’s custom. Something that has been going on with many forms of transportation for centuries.
There’s not enough baseball bats in the world to beat the ugly off that thing.
Idk why people HATE …. what an awesome looking Corvette, that’s unique,. different, with modern day performance and ride mixed with split window body style …. YES , YES , YES , I want one !!
Not nice at all !
It’s called hot rodding, customizing, automotive individualization, and it is a growing industry. We don’t do cool cars for you; we do it for our own happiness and our customer’s passion. My family has been in the custom vehicle business since the 1800s and it is an interesting industry. If people didn’t do customs like that Vette, we would never have grown into a multi-billion dollar industry with serious growth ahead. It’s what keeps our hobby/industry growing.
For clarification on some of these comments, this started as a C6. It was not a modified C2. I like the way it looks, it’s pretty unique.
