Rossi 66 with Corvette C2 Looks and C6 Hardware Coming to 2008 SEMA



The 2008 SEMA

Blue Fusion is the latest company to join in on the latest trend here in the States of re-bodying new Corvettes to look like the second generation model of the 1960s. Dubbed the Rossi 66, Blue Fusion’s Corvette will use the current C6/Z06/ZR1 platform and dress it with a body that mimics the lines of the 1966 C2 split window ‘Vette. Or at least that’s what Blue Fusion supports as the only year that the split window made its appearance on the C2 Corvette was in 1963 – talk about a big booboo..

Model-Year blunder aside, the first production version of the Rossi 66 will be displayed at the SEMA 2008 in Las Vegas this fall. The car will be built to order at he company’s facilities from a new C6, a C6/Z06/ZR1 or a customer supplied C6 donor chassis. Along with the coupe version, Blue Fusion says that it is also preparing a fully functioning convertible and various stages of Sport and Competition versions that will include a GT2 class type for full on-track racing applications.
